Once again it is time for the ever-popular, often imitated but never duplicated MOTW thread. As always, I offer up for your perusal the following MOTW candidates:
Surrey Coyotes host Port Moody Gunners (2A): Of all the matches in 2A this coming weekend, this appears to be the most interesting, though that's not saying a lot on a weekend full of top team/bottom team matches. That being said, however there is an intriguing element to this match in that it is being played out at the landing strip known as Erma, which may prove problematic for the turf-tested Gunners. Moody has not generally shown as strong on grass as on turf thus far this season, and could be tripped up by a game Coyotes squad. However unlikely, there is a very real possibility that Moody could falter here, and with LUFC playing woeful White Rock Moody can ill-afford to drop points here. MOTW?
Five Corners FC host Poco City United (2B): Poco faltered a bit this past weekend with a draw against Abby, but now the real test and fun begins for this team as they find themselves 11 points behind Aldergrove, with four games at hand. Theoretically, they are in the driver's seat in this table as running the table would give them top spot by one point over Alder. Not an easy test this weekend in FCFC out at MAP, but one that Poco should take nonetheless. That being said, if they do not bring their 'A' game it may just be a quiet trip back over the Port Mann thinking of an opportunity lost. Should be a good match. MOTW?
North Coquitlam Hades host LUFC Dynamo (2C): Here come the Hades...unbeaten in 8 since an opening loss to begin the season, the Hades appear to be eyeing promotion after last season's collapse. With a game at hand on DFC, Hades face a tough test in the Dynamo, who sport an identical record to the Hades and are also in the thick of the promotion battle in this table. Two fairly evenly matched teams on paper that played to a 1-1 draw in their first meeting. MOTW?
Make your picks, post your banter.
