Cowichan (left) and Salt Spring played a spirited match of men’s division 2 soccer this weekend. Cowichan came out on top by one goal. But the “off-island” referee, imported to put a lid on the scrappy scoundrels, was the real winner thanks to clear calls and yellow cards.

The women’s Div 2 team played the first half short one player, but held the Castaways to a 0-0 draw. Injured high schooler Ashley Swinton “couldn’t watch anymore and decided to play through the pain for the second half”. Big difference; lots of scoring chances and a 1-0 win over the Castaways. The Salt Spring women remain in first place.
Above, Ashley beats her check and surprises the keeper with a scalding low shot to the bottom corner to score the game’s only goal.
*update: in her next game Ashley scored 5 goals.
