Surrey United 2 - West van 0 (OT)

Rizal got both goals in the second half of overtime... first one off a PK, which was questionable and the other on a nice set up by Angus on a counter attach with West Van pushing up. Ill leave the details of the PK for two-nine to talk about.

Congrats to SUFF......it was only fitting to have one of each club with their respective cups today. :D

I would like to see preseason predictions.....as I do think I might have gone SUFF 1st with West Van second......or the other way around. :D

would have been exactly the same situation and result @ the other end of the pitch if it were in the SUFF penalty area. end of story.

good game, good battle.

Good on Riz for both goals, redemption from last years loss on the same pitch v wvfc!

First of all congrats to Surrey for their win. no berg i do not think that surrey is a better team. I think that we are very evenly matched and both teams battled hard yesterday. For a game like that to be decided by a ref is bullshit. No need to be the center of attention Kevin. But for some reason he bit on the pk call. It was terrible and embarassing. Second half of ot and that is how the game was decided. Disgrace. He let so much stuff go during the game and then gets fooled by a flopper. Whatever we have all had those calls with and against us and now we have to move on to bc's. The ref should give his head a shake and take off those stupid red contacts.

29 after the game, I walked by a bunch of Croatia guys who were standing on the bluff by the washrooms at the northeast corner of the park. So they would have had a birds eye view of the OT PK call. They emphatically pointed out that they concurred with your comment about the non-foul that the ref bit on. He did get himself noticed though, I guess that's the main thing with him.

Oh well, if West Van would have buried one of their chances earlier, hopefully this would have been a non event. Good win by Surrey though.

Nk was the only team in the Imperial cup to score not one but two goals against Surrey!Is there still any haters out there that think NK shouldnt be in Div.1 or are we considered a "quality" Div.1 side now?

The final definitely was "a battle" and it was a shame to see it decided on a controversial call by the referee. I thought there was no way the player in question could have suddenly soared through the air like that without any contact but I guess that was the case. A West Van player pointed out that had he not dove, contact was surely going to happen anyway...still, no contact equals no foul equals no PK. Only the players involved truly know.

Other than that, a fairly entertaining game with both teams missing some chances to score...as always, some key players out due to suspensions, injuries, signing with pro teams etc. In my opinion, Angus and Steph really stood out for Surrey and ultimately helped them get the victory but it was a great effort by both teams. Congrats to Thomo and Surrey United.

Surrey United with a crack at the treble this year...I will go out on a limb and predict that they see West Van again in the semi final.

Speaking of predictions....Regs, now that we know all the participants, how is the Masters and Open bracket pool coming along? :D

Mr. McSherry,

Correct me if I am wrong here but nobody said you weren't a quality Div.1 side, nor that you shouldn't be in Div.1. If I recall it was just said that you guys weren't Premier material. That you are a quality Div.1 side is apparent just by virtue of your finishing 4th. If you guys add a bit more scoring punch, look out because you'll be knocking on the Premier door. Close finishes against Punjab, Chile and Van Olympics mean you are just a step behind them. All in all the train had a good year in Div.1 and should continue to build on a successful 2009-2010 campaign...Just please spare us from anymore of that poetry next year :D

congrats to surrey!...and to west van. easily the two best teams this season.
a bunch of us had a great view of the play in question. from our view(cornerflag) it looked like it was a dive with no contact.
the debate ensued after because some guys(strikers??) were saying that the su player did the right thing by selling it. i say falling is acceptable, but diving is cheating. but thats just my opinion.
not that pk's are ever a good way to end a game, but its too bad that didnt happen. seemed destined for them.
both teams also seemed frustrated by the lino across from us. he made some bad calls, and non-calls for both teams.
and so ends "the year of the officials". branca must be proud. his boys are becoming famous...for the wrong reasons. in my 17 years of mens premier, this was easily the worst officiated season i have experienced.
Bobby Brown...we miss you!!!

I hardly think the credibility of that particular crew makes your claim valid.

Not getting excited at all, just cheering on our VMSL champs Sneds. Who's the man to watch this year over at the Callies? When do you guys kick off for the season? I'd wish you luck but I don't think you know how to react to compliments...
