VMSL Masters A Cup 2009

[bohica]

West Van 2-1 winners in OT

 

[Hands of Stone]

So is there a Imperial/Masters Cup Double header at Kinsmen with WestVan as the hosts with the mosts. I think I would take a Sea Bus for that one. When is the last Sea Bus home to the surrey from the shore on a sunday night?

West Van 2, Columbus 1. A bit like Friday night, I thought the WV side did not play very well, although had more of the play. We went up one and then gave one back on a screwup in the back. Hose was dangerous all day for Columbus and Frank played very well in the back.

SPADA, coming off a year long knee rehab, came in in OT for 8 mins, undressed the Columbus defender and set up Danny for his second of the game.

HOS.... with any luck the games might be played on a saurday which would leave you at least one full day to catch the sea bus home? I have heard the final will be played with the winner taking home a velvet blazer???? SIrM... I was sitting court side today did you see the columbus goal or were you too busy organizing your subs? West Van was lucky, they are a good team but lucky today with a depleted columbus line up. The final should be good but sapp as the favorite should win by one.....

 

[eagles]

This is Eagles in San Diego!!!! ESPN reports that Spada was man of the match (okay man of overtime!!) Spada must have stayed in the night before.

Great job lads!!

When is the final at Kinsmen??

Just to let you know it is supposed to be 80 degrees today, off to SeaWorld today.

Rickey Pimlott says we should just watch me at the hotel pool instead of spending $$$ to watch Shamu!!!

 

[Sir M]

Eagles stay out of the pool. You're scaring everyone.



And take your toy boats with you.

 

[dickens_cider]

Eagles all you need is Mack their to do the beached seal....

Columbus definitely done in by numbers and injuries, needed a full squad at this time of the year... Hose could have used guys coming forward to help out later in the game -- maybe even a couple of 50+ for overtime... we could still chase down Spada! Throwing in fresh guys in the 100th+ minute though, is that even sporting?

First sighting of the Anti-Fan for awhile, good to see him out of the tree-fort. He appeared to be kind of enamoured with the big fellow up front for Columbus... "give it to the big guy" seemed to be his catch phrase for the day. Of course everyone on the field seemed to be a bit bigger, except for Spada...

Should be a good final, hope it is a bit warmer, I am definitely not big enough for this weather.

 

[Sir M]

Despite rumours, North Shore hopes, tradition, etc, there will not be a cup final double this year at Kinsman. The Masters A Cup final will be at Point Grey AT at 1000 on March 29. The Imperial Cup final will be at Kinsman at 200 PM on the 29th.

Sir M.

Anyone know why the final is being played there?

Turf?

Don't understand why there couldn't be a double-header.

 

[Hands of Stone]

Not that you boys care or anything, but the FVSL is having all the finals at one park over a full day, it is in Mission (100 years of the Pac Cup) were the Cup started. Why can't the VMSL get the same thing done, it only makes sense for the League. There is even a 7-a side tourney for teams that are out of the Cup.

7 A Side Tournament TBA - TBA Mission Sportsplex TBA
Playoff Premier/D1 TBA - SFC Rangers Div 1 Mission Sportsplex Sat 12.30pm
FINAL President's Port Moody Gunners - Athletic Club BC Mission Sportsplex Sat 12 Noon
FINAL MASTERS SFC Rangers - Delta Metro Utd Mission Sportsplex Sat 2pm
FINAL U21 Port Moody Gunners - Poco City Rovers Mission Sportsplex Sat 2.30pm
FINAL Pakenham Athletic Club BC - Chilliwack Rapids Mission Sportsplex Sat 4.30pm

Why not a 8 AM final at Bby Lake on Field #1. I hear the Chinese league isn't using that football field that morning.
I know we're old, but throw us a bone once in a while, VMSL. It would have been a better day all around to watch the Imperial right after the Masters. Even though no one would show up to the Master's final, at least it would have guaranteed a larger crowd and better atmosphere for the Imperial.

Sapp 3 - PCOV 0
(20th, 50th, 80th)

PCOV had limited players. They fought hard but ran out of gas at the start of the 2nd half. Arnie with the first 2 from close range. Geoff J ended on a spectacular move that the goalie bit on way too early. It left Geoff with the open net. I would have been proud of that goal.
Tommy made one great stop from long range to preserve the shutout.

 

[AntiFan]

Way to drop the ball again VMSL... Why play the two finals at the same park back to back double header

 

[Hands of Stone]

It is the same day as the FVSL Finals in Mission, I guess that VMSL brass know when they can't compete, why try to go up against 100 years of Pac Cup.

At least the games are on the same day, and it isn't wear retro kit day, WAB would have you boys in tighty whities for the match.

[AntiFan]

HOS you are so right! and WAB and the boys ( no mater what the year) should not be prancing around in their tight whites pretending to play football. Although I am sure WAB is droolong over the thoughts of Sully and Arnie Beers in their tight whites..... maybe we can all join the FV league to avoid this debacle...... Ranger forever... Cheers! and coach........ piss off and start posting you #$%@

 

[AntiFan]

SCK.... hope your enjoying your pints at Mackers, Powder Hounds, and the break dancing at MAck Daddy's tonight at Sunpeaks

 

[AntiFan]

Just curious on everyone elses thoughts.... nothing to do with north van but should not the Premier and masters final be played back to back no matter where the location is chosen? I am sure the masters would like to have a few pints afterwords and enjoy the premier game???? Is this not good for the vmsl? The Frser Valley is full of fruit cakes ( HOS) and terrible soccer, but atleast they have their finals in order. No names mentioned but I love metro ford..... now get your act together...... CJ should we book you a room at the squamish nation cacsino?

 

[Hands of Stone]

The Frser Valley is full of fruit cakes ( HOS) and terrible soccer, but atleast they have their finals in order.

They even have a back-up plan if there is snow in Mission, all the games are moved to Cloverdale athletic, now that is a top class league, does Azzi have a back-up plan. The FVSL is getting no love, but I have to tell ya, the three teams that come out of the league this year will do some damage, Delta works so hard, and are solid in the back, even with out big Jolly. Mission are tough to figure out, they have beat all the tough teams, but have had the odd stinker too. Then it is PAU White or Rangers.

Still can't believe the league can't get the finals back to back, it not even April 1st.
Sign me up for the Casino, is Eagles going to show us around?

It is ridiculous to have the Imperial, U21, and Master finals not only at different parks, but different days as well. U21 - this Sat, Imperial - next Sat, Master - next Sun. This is supposed to be the build up to the pinnacle of the league. I just wish a little more thought was put into organizing the games together - Even if it meant having one game at another field close by (ie Ambleside) if they feared over use of the field.

The FVSL has done well. Reminds me a bit of the 90s Okanagan Challenge of the PCSL. Great promotion, bad soccer.
