The Sunshine Coast Youth Soccer Association is pleased to announce the names of the five recipients of the 2009 Reg Thomas Sunshine Coast Youth Soccer Association Bursaries.
The recipients were Jonathan Garmulewicz, Rachel Hargreaves, Skyler Lagace, Kendra Pomfret and Jenna Scott.

He is a tireless worker for the association; coached for many years, managed the senior girls division, organized volunteers for field-lining, lined fields, set-up and dismantled road signs, organized equipment collection and late equipment collection and much more. He is also a regular contributor to the sports pages of Coast Reporter.
Dempster
Chicago Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster could miss up to a month after he fractured his right toe.
In an email to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Gibsons native said he hurt his toe when he tripped going over the dugout rail after celebrating a July 5th win, slamming his right foot as it hit the ground. Dempster was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday, July 7. Dempster is 5-5 with a 4.09 ERA in 17 starts this season.
Golf
Gibsons Jesse Ostrosky competed in the B.C. Junior Boys Golf Championship at the Pitt Meadows Golf Club last week.
Ostrosky, who calls the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club his home course, finished with a +24 total after rounds of 83 and 85.
