Okanagan Whitecaps U14 boys win on the road

In a convincing display of committed soccer, the Okanagan Whitecaps dominated their Abbotsford hosts to run out 3-0 winners.
From the start Abbotsford found it difficult to cope with some clever passing through their defence, and were largely hemmed into their own half, finding it hard to break out. The Whitecaps showed their intent early on, with some good long range shots.
The inevitable breakthrough came — once again — through Matt McHugh, who did well to keep possession under pressure, creating enough room to strike the ball past the keeper. A well deserved second came again from McHugh, who ran onto a through ball and scored with a good shot. At this point, the Whitecaps were unlucky to get more as Abbotsford’s frustration began to affect their game.

Okanagan Whitecaps U14 boys move into second with solid 5-1 win over Coastal WFC
The Thompson Okanagan Whitecaps U14 boys were back in Super Y League action this weekend with back-to-back home games against Mountain WFC and Coastal WFC, traditionally two of the strongest Y league soccer clubs. The Okanagan boys started Saturday’s game in a confident mood after last week’s win over Surrey and got off to a great start with an opening goal scored just two minutes in by Andrew Stevenson after some great work on the wing by Jordan Garcha.
