Tacoma, WA – The O’Brien family has an exceptional soccer history. Another chapter to their soccer legacy has begun Montreal.

The 2009 Tacoma Tide FC season has finally come to an end. It started with so much promise, but ended with disappointment. The Tide almost have capped it off with a dramatic come from behind result against their Puget Sound rivals. However, in the end, the Tide ran out of time. Two goals in extra time were not enough to overcome a 4-1 Pumas lead. The Kitsap Pumas clinched the inaugural Narrows Bridge Bell Trophy with a 4-3 victory over the Tide at Curtis High School Stadium.

THE NARROWS BRIDGE BELL is on the line!

Sunday afternoon was not the best day that Tide fans have seen at Curtis High School Stadium. After a couple weeks of flawless weather in the Puget Sound, the skies were filled Sunday with dark clouds that poured rain, hail, and sleet around the halftime break and into the 2nd half. Things on the field weren’t much brighter.
