PORT ORCHARD, WA—Port Orchard Mayor Rob Putaansuu issued a proclamation honoring the 2023 season of Port Orchard Football Club during a championship gathering on Sunday August 27 at Marina Park in Downtown.
The Mayor presented a copy of the proclamation to POFC Club Coordinator David Falk and then read the document to the crowd.
The celebration began with a 6-minute audio clip of CPL2 Championship Match play-by-play highlights from friend of the club Dave Radovich being played by DJ and Host Steven Stanton. The crowd listened intently to the presentation. When the Mayor read his proclamation next, the crowd stopped the reading several times with rounds of applause.
Falk spoke to the gathering about the very beginning days of POFC and how the community rallied behind the idea of the club.
Head Coach Patrick Leonard addressed the crowd to thank his players and the community. He stayed around after to pose for photos with fans.
Assistant General Manager Tyler Brown presented player Nick Riders with a signed, framed jersey in recognition of his goal on May 7 which goes down in history as the first-ever goal for POFC.
Supporters posed for photos in front of the new championship banner and with the new championship trophy. Many lingered to visit and enjoy the sunny afternoon on the beautiful Port Orchard waterfront.
