Big Pakenham Cup wins for PMO Gunners and Chilliwack at the weekend (so big that it must have crashed the Pakenham Cup thread because I cannot seem to find it...)

It keeps those teams in the hunt for a Provincial Cup berth as they had fallen back from the pack in terms of the top 5, thus it will in all likelihood require a Cup title for either team to qualify.

Things getting closer and closer to being decided.

Dasmesh finish bottom and will be relegated (unless perhaps the Division expands??). Will be interesting to see if they stay together and bother with Div. 1 given that they only came into existence this season and were granted immediate access to Premier.

It appears that Coastal has done enough to stay in the division given that the second and third place clubs in Div. 1 already have teams in Premier, though, as mentioned previously, not sure if the one team per club rule is still in affect given PoMo's pair of Premier teams. With Coastal having got their shite together down the stretch, I would think they would be favoured in any potential playoff anyway.

Abby is in pole position to claim the final automatic Provincial spot with only West Coast having an outside chance of catching them for third. It would seem that the league is planning on cramming the SC Cup into the next couple of weeks so we will have to wait and see how that final Provincial spot shakes down. Thus the race for fourth is important, given that if the SC cup is won by a team that has already qualified, that berth would presumably be given to the next highest placing team in the standings? Surrey Utd. lost to Chilliwack on Wednesday which means that they must win their final game against PMO Gunners and hope West Coast go winless against Chilliwack and Abby if they want to vault into fourth.

Just saw on the updated schedule a playoff game between Coastal and Westcoast div 1. I wonder if those guys are planning on leaving the club?

Jesus, wasn't there a Pak Cup final yesterday?

All I could find were Twat feeds. Pomo Rangers win.

So, haven't followed the league, but didn't these guys start out really poorly? Wasn't this squad the one that had the 3 or 4 SFU kids injected in after their season terminated?

Quite the comebac in a tough league to snare a Provincial birth. Not as much drama as Twmple taking masters, but a pretty good story. What happened to Langley and Aldergrove down the stretch? Matter of having to focus on one task (the table vs Cup) due to the snow / compressed schedule?

How was the atmosphere at the park?

Ok trying to sort through this quagmire that is the last FVSL Provincial Berth...

Here's what we know:

Aldergrove, Langely and Abby are in for finishing 1, 2, 3 in the league and Port Moody Rangers are in as Pakenham Cup Champions.

As for the final spot, it's going to the SC Cup winner, but that is, of course, not straight forward.

Group B is all played and settled. Semi Finalists are Port Moody Gunners (1st) and Aldergrove (2nd).

Group A is a clusterf*ck. Of course the "Cups" page on the website is not updated (because that would be convenient) but, as far as I can surmise by looking back through the weekly schedule, the current standings are:

Langley - 9 pts; 0GR; +3GD
Port Moody Rangers - 7pts; 0GR; -2GD
Surrey Utd. - 6pts; 1GR; +6GD
Abbotsford - 1pts; 2 GR; -1GD
Dasmesh - 0pts; 1GR; -5GD

So here's the fun part. I cannot find any record of a game between Dasmesh and Abby, but Dasmesh forfeit to Langley midweek and, given their impending relegation and potential, one assumes, folding, it would be safe to assume that they will forfeit the SC Cup game against Abby as well. That puts Abby on 4pts with one game remaining against Surrey. The tiebreaker in the SC Cup is goal difference, thus, Surrey Utd.'s 5-0 smashing of Port Moody Rangers on Wednesday has actually eliminated the Rangers. A draw in the match would put Surrey on 7pts and a win for Abby would put them on 7pts and both teams have a superior goal difference to Port Moody. Obviously a win for SU would put them on 9 pts and, actually, see them win the group on goal difference.

Stay with me now, because this is where things really pick up. This final game of the SC cup group stage is scheduled for Saturday, with the Semis lined up for Monday and the Final Wednesday to get in under BC Soccer's deadline for Thursday's Prov Cup draw. Surrey's only chance at the Provincials is to win the SC Cup and, in order to facilitate this final group game, SU forfeit the last game on the Premier League schedule against Port Moody Gunners. The best case scenario for the league is that Surrey or Gunners go on to win the SC Cup and the accompanying Provincial berth as this keeps things simple. Should one of the other teams (Langley, Aldergrove or Abby) win it things get murkier.

Surrey's forfeit moved Gunners into a fourth place tie with Westcoast. According to the information given to BC Soccer, if one of the already qualified teams wins the SC Cup, the berth goes to the next highest finishing team in the UPL. Ties in the UPL standings, unlike the SC Cup, are not broken by goal difference, but instead by head to head results and head to head goal difference. Wouldn't luck have it, Westcoast and Port Moody Gunners tied BOTH their UPL meetings this season. In that case the third tie breaker is, you guessed it, a playoff game. Now if Wednesday's final is between two already qualified teams (ie. Langley and Aldergrove) then this playoff game could take place Wednesday as well, but if Surrey or Gunners make the final Wednesday night and lose then there's no time to get the playoff in.

I guess the "spot" could just be drawn on Thursday and then the playoff to fill it could happen over the long weekend in advance of the first round of Provincials???

Fun...
