From the VISL website.... Here's what Vic Gorge have put up on the Island this season, in 16 games played:

12 wins
4 ties
no losses

39 goals for
8 goals against

They've also swept all their Jackson Cup games. Hmm.

Oddly enough, it would seem that losing the Jackson Cup final would stand to benefit either Vantreights or Gorge, as it now ensures them a home game in the first round.

While I highly doubt either team will consciously "throw" a Cup Final, you have to wonder why BC Soccer decided to do the draw three days before the Jackson Cup final (Saturday, April 2nd) was to be played.

First round Provincial Cup games aren't until the week-end of April 16th/17th anyways...couldn't they have waited until Monday, April 4th to complete the draw? Would have made a lot more sense. It's not teams need more than two weeks to figure out travel arrangements.

Seems a bit strange to me.
