So.....it begins again!
Looming, a mere week and a half away is the start of another exciting year of punishing, shin-kicking, head-butt-throwing, referee-abusing, kick-it-real-far FVSL Premier Football (The VMSL interpretation of course)
Week #1 brings with it some interesting match-ups. Which do you think is deserving of "Match of the Week" honours?
Poco vs Delta Metro (Fri. Sept. 10, Gates Park Turf, 9:00pm)
No doubt Crafty's side will be well prepared. How will Poco respond in the season opener with the leadership change in the off-season??? This is a tough one to call.
GN vs Langley (Fri. Sept. 10, Mackie Turf, 9:00pm)
It will be interesting to se how Langley will progress this season, after their 180 degree turn around last season. They won't catch many teams by surprise this season, as they have earned respect. GN's achilles heel is their inconsistency. One game they're world beaters, the next they can't beat their way out of a wet paper bag! Both teams claim to have improved themselves in the off-season.
Sikh United vs G.E.U. (Sat. Sept. 11, Newton Turf, 6:00pm)
Repeating as Champions is tougher than winning it the first time. GEU have their work cut out for them this season if they wish to achieve what they did last year. Not much known about the Sikh team with regards to their preparation. The edge would have to go to the reigning champs.
Whalley Storm vs N.D. Lions (Sun. Sept. 12, AHP Mathew, 2:15pm)
Newly promoted Whalley will certainly look to have a good first outing in the Premier league, and should give the Lions all they can handle. I'm sure we'll hear much about how the Lions are missing key college players.
P.A.U. vs Chilliwack (Sun. Sept. 12, South Surrey Athl., 2:15pm)
PAU will be looking to redeem themselves after last season's disapointment. Some new players added to the mix will change the look and chemistry. A few Chilliwack players out on suspensions for this match, most notably their captain C. Wilmets. 3 points for Chilliwack in their season opener would be a great achievement without their most influential leader on the pitch.
