The island’s sporting calendar has been in full swing this week, with adult and youth soccer leagues, a series of golf competitions, and a lively horseshoe tournament all taking place across Anna Maria Island.
In the adult soccer league, 82 West Home Inspections and Sato Real Estate sit tied at the top of the table with perfect 2‑0 records, while Moss Builders secured a 7‑4 victory over Leading Edge Investments and Hampton Painting edged USA Fence 8‑2. A tight contest saw 82 West Home Inspections slip past Salty Printing by a 3‑2 margin.
The youth divisions also delivered drama; G.I. Bins remains unbeaten in the 8‑10 bracket at 3‑1, Diamond Turf posted a 4‑0 shutout of Gitt Team, and in the 11‑14 category Solid Rock Construction and RAK’s Wings ‘N Things settled for a 4‑4 draw.
On the greens, Jeff Jump captured first place in the men’s golf quota‑points event with a plus‑5 score, while Jana Samuels claimed the women’s nine‑hole individual‑low‑net title with an even‑par 32.
The horseshoe competition saw Justin Narup take the playoff crown with a 24‑10 win over Gersey Fernandes and Steve Kriebel, and Billy Silver later won the knockout stage 23‑19 against Tom Farrington and Tim Sofran.
Upcoming Events
Looking ahead, the Center of Anna Maria Island has announced a packed schedule that includes the next round of soccer fixtures, a junior golf clinic at Key Royale Club, and a community horseshoe meet‑up later this month, promising more action for players and fans alike.
