In an effort to recognize the phenomenal 60 year success of the Oyster River High School Soccer program, Paul Bamford, OR’s golf coach and soccer alum, is organizing a celebratory weekend of soccer to be held September 24-25, 2021 at the high school. The event is doubling as a fundraiser for the proposed press box/sound system ($175,000+) to be attached to the newly installed bleachers.
“The Voice of the Boston Bruins” and former OR/UNH soccer star Jack Edwards will serve as MC. Thanks, Jack!
To commemorate the weekend, we’re offering a unique event T-shirt, co-designed by Elijah Edwards, Jack’s son (front of shirt), along with Wolfe Ramsay, a star member of this year’s OR basketball team (back of shirt). T-shirts can be ordered separately for $25. All orders are on-line only, to be picked up at event. Registration instructions for attendance and game/food ticket purchase are included below. We hope you can attend and make it a weekend to remember! If not, please make a donation for the press box campaign in the registration section. Thank you!
