Gurton’s wins in B.C. Cup action The Peninsula Gurton’s Gar- age Division 8 soccer team mm} stormed to a convincing 3-0 win over the Gordon Head Vikings in B.C, Cup action last weekend. Attacking strongly from the start was Tyler Kennedy and John Thompson, both hitting goal posts before teammate Andrew Scott-Moncrieff scored the first goal on a low-left- footed shot into the net. The team displayed solid defensive play with Sean Parke, Johnny Underwood and Luke Beyeks, fresh from a South African tour, keeping sporadic Viking attacks under control. Andrew Still and Andrew McRae controlled the midfield with determined tackles and hard running, a team spokes- man said. In the second half, Gurton’s kept the pressure on with tight passing from an aggressive for- ward line, resulting in Kennedy scoring from a low angle. About ten minutes later Charlie Harry and Ryan Oakley moved the ball forward to Jer- emy Jones, who scored with a powerful 20-yard shot to ensure the victory. Gurton’s now moves into the quarter finals and a match 4 against Lakehill Saturday. Novice all-stars prepare for big Seattle tournament A team of Peninsula hockey players are preparing to face the best the Pacific Northwest has to offer in Seattle’s Western Pacific Novice Tournament, April 6-8. The nine and ten year-olds have been doing a great job in most of their games so far this year —only losing three times in about 50 outings. The team is made up of three or more players from each of four minor hockey association house league teams. There is no rep team program at the novice level so players’ parents took the initiative to form and sponsor the team themselves, team spokesman Dan Kotyk said. “We bought ice time at Lake Cowichan and wherever we could get it,” he said. Team members have been selling chocolates and parents have been drumming up cor- porate support to help finance the endeavor. “Tt’s worth it, the kids love it, they can’t get enough ice time,’ Kotyk said. The team will gear up for the competition against their American counterparts with a tournament at the Racquet Club in Victoria this weekend. Way Editor: Glenn Werkman 656-1151 Magic Colour wins Lower Island championship Peninsula Magic Colour contin- ued its magic by winning its biggest game so far this season — the Lower Island B.C. Cup Cham- pionship for Division 6. : Colour played Lakehill Totem Towing, a much bigger and rougher team than any other in the league, coach John McDonald said. Despite the difference in size, Magic Colour used special strate- gy to defeat Lakehill 2-1. This came after a dramatic 1-0 win over last year’s champions, the Cordova Bay Hawks, March 3. The difference was that the smaller Magic Colour players played as a team and didn’t let the size and intimidation of the Lake- hill players get to them. Colour’s early defensive strate- gy was to try and trap the aggres- sive Lakehill forwards in offside positions by moving quickly out of their own end on change plays. The neutral officiating provided by Gordon Head Soccer Club was excellent and the result was Lake- hill was called at least five times in the first 15 minutes for offside infractions. This caused considera- ble frustration for several of the star Lakehill players and it showed on the field. The first goal of the game came early in the first half after a nice series of plays by Magic Colour players. Colour’s defense, headed by Jay Loveridge, Jon Goulet, Rease Larson and Brian Terrell, broke up a Lakehill play in their own end and cleared the ball out to centre field. Left-half Chris McDonald took ~ the ball on the run and crossed a long shot in front of the net. Centre half Gus Morris then quickly trapped the ball and hit it hard into the top comer of the net, past a somewhat bewildered Lakehill tender. Colour had several other golden opportunities to increase the lead in the first half. Winger Darrell Underwood headed a beautiful ball just inches outside the top comer of the net after another nice cross from Mortis. A little later McDonald scored after deflecting a nice shot from the right side but the linesman ruled a Colour forward offside on the play, disallowing the goal. Lee Dryden, Shaun Kingerley, Jim Saunderson, Chris Gray and Bill Farrant worked especially hard in midfield to keep the pres- sure on Lakehill. At the start of the second half Lakehill realized they were in trouble and began a strong assault on Peninsula. But Colour keeper Brian Timms was equal to the challenge, playing nothing short of spectacular in making several key saves that looked like sure goals. Despite the good tending, Lake- hill scored to tie the game about ten minutes into the half after their top forward, Nico Craveiro, broke down the sideline and was tripped in the penalty area.

Craveiro was lucky to score on the resulting penalty shot after Timms dove and almost deflected the ball wide of the net. About ten minutes later Lakehill had another good scoring chance that was thwarted by Timms. A Lakehill midfielder broke into the open a took a long hard, high shot from about 25 meters out. Timms, who was looking direct- ly into the sun at the time saw the ball at the last minute and some- how managed 1o jump high in the air with hands raised, just deflect- ing the ball wide of the net. Timm’s theatrics seemed to spark Colour back to life and the play switched back into Lakehill’s end. After several hard checks by Colour players, Morris made another of his patented crosses into the box, giving winger Unde- rwood a partial breakaway. Unde- rwood didn’t miss the opportunity a drove a hard shot into the left comer of the net for the game- winning goal. Magic Colour will now play against the Upper Island Champi- ons, from Nanaimo, within the next two weeks for the Island Championship. Dr. Roger G.
