Sports TheReview Wednesday, April 17, 1991 — A21 » Mixed results for soccer squads For one Peninsula soccer team, it was a step to the final. For another, however, it was the end of a long season. District Cup semi-final action came to Blue Heron Park Saturday, and the Division 5B Peninsula Harvey's Sporting Goods club advanced to the final with a 3-2 win over the Duncan Metro Toyota Falcons: In another contest, Division 7C Sidney Realty World lost 4-1 to the Sooke Cougars, It was the last match of the year for the plucky Realty World side. Harvey's moves on to the Cup final Saturday in Sooke against an as-yet unknown opponent. The team appeared down and out of the match against Duncan, . trailing 2-0 at the half. “Tn the first half, Duncan defin- itely dominated. Our offensive group just did not come together,” said Harvey’s manager Ron Muir. “There was no drive towards the goal.” As for Duncan, he says “they were just coming in wave after wave. I honestly thought we’d be blown away.” Duncan scored at the 17 and 33-minute marks of the first, and Muir says credit is due to goal- keeper Matthew Joinson and his defensive charges for keeping the score close.

Then, at the 17-minute mark, Scott Muir netted Harvey’s first. “Suddenly, there was initia- tive,” said Ron Muir. The offensive spark which was dormant in the first half ignited. Seven minutes after Muir’s goal, Harvey’s Michael Hughes was hauled down inside Duncan’s 18- yard box, resulting in a penalty shot. Hughes capitalized, tying the score at 2-2. With nine minutes remaining, Hughes got the winner, and Muir says Harvey’s dominated for the rest of the game. While Harvey’s advances, Realty World closes a successful season, one which saw them named team-of-the-year for Divi- sion 7. Manager and assistant coach John Degoey says Sooke deserved the victory, getting the better of the play for much of the game. However, the outcome was in doubt at the break, as Realty World scored as the first half was winding down to make the score 3-1. The half ended on a high note, says Degoey, but Realty World couldn’t carry the momentum in the second half.

Magic Colour eamed the berth with a 5-2 win over Oak Bay on Saturday. Coach Jamie Douglas says the score did not reflect the play, as Oak Bay put up a courageous battle, starting the game one man short, then losing another due to injury. Magic Colour opened the scor- ing on a shot by Darryl Unde- twood. However, the team sagged, allowing the undermanned Oak Bay club to dominate the first half, said Douglas. Oak Bay was ahead 2-1 at the break. Facing elimination, Magic Col- our responded with a splendid second half, tying the score and then surging ahead when an Oak Bay defender put the ball in his own net. Magic Colour netted two more markers in the closing minutes of the game. The team advances to the Dis- trict Cup final Saturday in Sooke.
