In 1982 STM was organized as St. Thomas More
to fill the recreational soccer void for young players attending St. Thomas More
School as well as players in the surrounding geographic areas. In 1987 STM
joined the PA West Soccer Association in order to offer the more advanced
players a chance to travel and compete against local Sunday travel
organizations. As the need changed in the early 1990s, STM changed its name to
simply "STM" and began to offer programs for the most advanced/premier players
in the state association. On June 1, 2007 the state association approved the
name change from STM to Steel Town Magic. At the same time the colors of purple
and white were changed to black and gold and uniforms will reflect these
changes. At the same time, the organization is forging ahead with plans to offer
programs for the younger (9-10) year old players.

Steel Town Magic 89B
formerly
STM Tigers '89
A
number of organizations rank teams and clubs throughout the country.
Among them, Got Soccer is one of the most respected company.
While rankings are based on the number of tournaments attended (and thus
not always a true judge of a team or clubs ability), the standings are
one
measure of comparison with other teams/clubs.The Boys U-19 team ranked
#1 in PA WEST ahead of the state champions-Beadling; tied for #10 in the
region ahead of FC Delco (Eastern PA state champion) tied for #33 in the
nation (out of 407 teams ranked). Great Work gentlemen! STM will field a
U-19 boys team this spring (playing a limited schedule).
New players welcome to try out. Please e-mail name, address, phone, etc.
to www.stmsoccer.org.

Findlay Township Opens New Complex
Leopold Lake Complex in Findlay Township hosted its first soccer match
on Saturday, October 27, 2007. Steel Town Magic 97B hosted Hotspurs
in a close competition that saw Hotspurs defeat Magic 1 - 0.
The new complex consists of a baseball field, a deck hockey park, a
rollerblade maze, and a soccer field. The hockey and rollerblade areas
are well lighted for evening usage. The sports facility is built at
various
elevations and from the top field spectators can view a beautiful scene
of the surrounding hills and valleys.
Special thanks to Gaye Kline and Rosalie and Derek
McCracken who were
instrumental in arranging the first time usage of the soccer field.

Congratulations - AGAIN!
The STM Tigers '89 did it again! This time they won the Elite Bracket in the
U-18 age group of the
FC Nike Challenge Cup held in Columbus, Ohio. The team
only allowed 1 goal to be scored against
them in the 4 games they played. The
final game was a cliff-hanger - the score was 0-0 until the
last 5 minutes when they clinched the title. Great Work team! Thank You!
