Turf burn and fancy footwork ran rampant at this year’s Powerplay Cup, a charity futsal tournament hosted by the Campus Food Bank. The annual fundraiser pitted 15 co-ed teams against each other with prizes from Earls, The Rack, the Billiards Club, and other sponsors on the line. The tournament was held all day Saturday in the Butterdome and each team brought out their best guys and girls in an attempt to win the coveted cup.
The Powerplay Cup has become an annual tradition and all proceeds raised go back to the Campus Food Bank. The Cup not only generates important funds for the CFB but also helps to promote physical activity that complements proper eating in the life of a healthy student.
Each team had 4 players on the field and one keeper, each of them putting their bodies on the line for a number of games over the course of the day. While sportsmanship was a vital part of the tournament, adrenaline was running high as players jostled for position and chased down loose balls. After a hard-fought tournament, Grinders FC captured the top prize.
The Powerplay Cup wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of CFB volunteers and sponsor Ellis Don construction. If you think you have what it takes to win the top prize next year, keep your eyes peeled for next spring’s tournament!

About the Author:
Hello there! I'm Trenton and I'm super excited to be a YouAlberta Student Communicator. Though I spend a staggering amount of my time thinking about a syllabus for an imaginary Batman 101 class, my major is actually Political Science. I love to read, eat, and play around in Photoshop (sometimes all at once). If you're ever looking for someone to debate about a variety of nerdy topics, I'm your man.
It is my hope to tell a wide array of stories about the sides of campus life and student life that may not be immediately apparent. In doing this, I want to showcase the diversity, passion, and community at the U of A that constantly inspires me. My time at the U of A has been truly trans-formative and, as I enter my final year here, I can't wait to listen to and tell stories about the University and its students.
