Interesting draw. You will have at least one Premier team knocked out in Round 1 because of the South Delta - Temple game. In Round 2 unless there is a huge upset, there is the Castillians - Delta United match which is pretty much the Championship match based on the run of play so far this...
South Delta 2 - Temple 0
Good win for us to go into the Christmas break. Temple are a good skilled team and battled us hard, however we had a slight edge in play after the opening 30 minutes. We hit 3 crossbars and a post on a PK. They had a few good chances but our keeper came up big when we...
South Delta 4 - Langley 1
Both teams fairly short on numbers. It was a pretty even game for the first 30 minutes. They felt aggrieved about our first goal. Cross floated over and headed goal bound, but it hit another one of our players who appeared to be offside before entering the net (just...
Should be an interesting game in Langley tonight. Langley earned one of their wins against us last time, and this week we should have a relatively small squad for the first time this season due to a plethora of Christmas parties etc. As our team operates with a philosophy that everyone gets...
Based on our recent run of form, Friday night's thrashing was unwelcome, but not entirely unexpected (we knew one streak was going to end that night, either our run of poor play or our success against the Champs).
All in all a bit of a weird game for us. The Champs were definitely the better...
North Delta 1 - South Delta 0
Our troubles scoring continue, only 1 goal scored in the last three weeks.
North Delta were the better team in this game. They only had 11 guys but they were in good shape and didn't tire. Really should have been 3 or 4 to 1 for them because they missed a...
South Delta 4 - South Surrey 1
South Surrey had a couple of chances early, but this was pretty much our game. If our finishing was as good as it was against Poco this would have been a bit more one sided. We probably had 20 corners to their 1. Our first goal came from a steal in front of the...
First result of the Weekend:
Fortress Winskill holds! South Delta 3 - PoCo 2
South Delta gets off to our typical slow start and the Champs dominate play for the first 20 or so minutes. The get the first goal off a corner kick. Ball is swung to the back post and their forward makes a...
Re: the Delta Derby
Not much to add from what has been said. Delta United came out hard and fast and dominated much of the first half. Their first goal was a gift, courtesy of a bad pass by our sweeper. The second goal came off a scramble after a free kick. The ball popped out of a pack to...
If we could throw away the first ten seconds of the game, and the last 30 seconds of the game, South Delta would have had a comfortable 2-0 win over North Delta, but since those time periods unfortunately count it was a 2-2 tie. North Delta started the season with a record that will probably...
Oh, and let me also say something controversial. We have had by far the easiest draw (Bye, Island 4, & North Shore 3). As much as we appreciated the expanded playoffs this year because they allowed us in (Fraser Valley 4), I believe the allocation needs to be tweaked for next year. In my...
Final Score South Delta 5 - NAFC 0
We scored in the first minute, and then got a second one about 10 minutes later. Also hit the crossbar and had some other chances in the first half. NAFC woke up after about 25 minutes and played us fairly even until about 25 minutes into the the second...
Will give a bit more detail on the South Delta result.
Everyone who guessed 2-0 South Delta should be very happy with themselves. There was a very strong wind that ran straight down the pitch. In the first half South Delta had it at our backs, and used it to keep a majority if the play in...
Some random thoughts about our draw (South Delta's) from both a team and personal perspective:
Team Thumbs up - First Week bye. We can get some practice in, maybe even think about doing some running. In fact I'm thinking about running right now. I hope it's getting me in better shape...
Well I did have a great post prepared, however since others have beaten me to it, we did win 5-0 over the Champs. Honestly the real difference is that we had something to play for and Poco didn't. Both teams were missing key players, but we found a play that seemed to work for us, and it lead...
