WEEKLY REWIND
Whitecaps FC Girls Elite have been crowned the women’s regular-season champions as the division’s playoff teams are confirmed.
Rovers race on
TSS Rovers FC faced both Burnaby FC and Altitude FC in Matchweek 11 in the Men’s and Women’s Divisions, and accumulated 10 points from a potential 12.
The men’s team continue to lead the way in the standings after edging past rock-bottom Burnaby by 2-1 on Friday, before scraping a 1-0 win against title rivals Altitude on Sunday. Massud Habibullah scored all off TSS’ goals in a clutch week from the forward.
Rovers’ women’s team remain fourth in their standings following Friday’s 2-2 tie at home to Burnaby – Kaitlan Cerney stealing a point for TSS after Shanya Dhindsa thought she may have won it for the visitors in the 82nd minute – and Sunday’s 4-2 victory at Altitude which confirmed Rovers’ their playoff spot at their opponents’ expense.
Whitecaps win women’s regular season
It was a memorable weekend for the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite academy as they went into their game against Harbourside FC having guaranteed top spot in the Women’s Division regular-season standings and their place at the League1 Canada Women’s Inter-Provincial Championship this August.
They had an enjoyable day at the office with a 3-1 win over Harbourside – Mia Guterres’ brace proving the difference as Whitecaps secured their ninth win of the season and handed their opponents a seventh defeat.
It was a different story in the Men’s Division as, for only the second time this season, Whitecaps Academy’s men’s team were on the wrong side of the scoreline as they went down 2-1 at home to Harbourside thanks to Charlie Purcell’s late goal. Harbourside now occupy fourth in the standings.
Rivers make a splash
Rivers FC’s men’s game against Unity FC saw them pick up a precious 3-2 win thanks to Domenico Comita’s dramatic injury-time winner, as the Kamloops team’s points tally for the season moved into double figures.
But the three points went the other way in the Women’s Division; Unity climbed to second in the standings after a 2-0 success at Rivers, who remain one place and point above rock-bottom Harbourside. Mansha Sidhu’s strike in injury-time wrapped up the win after Jenaya Robertson’s opener.
It was a key win in Unity’s bid for a Women’s Division playoff semifinal at home, as they now share the same record as rivals Burnaby. Unity still also have an outside chance at making the Men’s Division postseason.
