The Gulf Islands Secondary School (GISS) senior boy’s soccer team goes through and around the Shawinigan Lake School defence. The GISS team took this first home game 5-1.
They are playing at Portlock Park while they wait for the new grass (recently pictured) at the GISS fields.
I’m not a fan of shootouts to determine a winner in a game. Too much stress all around. And I’m sure glad I’m not the goal keeper in a soccer shootout.
In this senior high school game the game ended in 1 – 1 tie. And the shootout went on a long, long time.
The photo above shows the local team racing toward their keeper after the shootout save that ended the game.
From my vantage point above and behind the goal, I noticed what I assume are senior girls. It was fun to watch their faces with each shot during the shootout. The two photos below describe the final two shots from each team:
Harrison Jason was first to the ball in Saltspring FC’s 5-1 victory over the Vantreights. Jason scored two goals in the match.
Saltspring United U18 Girls Silver continue to dominate league play with 10 wins and 1 tie; with 55 goals for vs 10 against, and with another one sided game Sunday. The girls pounded seven goals past the Gordon Head/Cordova Bay keeper. Wearing jersey number four, Jody Pringle scored four goals.
That’s not right. So thought the referee as Sean is pushed off course, is awarded a penalty shot, and as a result, scores the winning goal.
