Scores for Weekend of April 25-27
The KU U14 Boys team 1 earned their 3rd consecutive win with a 3-0 victory over Shuswap. The Kelowna boys outshot Shuswap 13-3 in the opening half, however their only goal of the half was a strong attack on a loose ball by Joey Ferstel. “Man of the match” Quinn Wright scored two dynamic goals in the second half, the first a header from a well-place corner kick by Adam Boehm and a the second a low inside the post off a great forward pass up from midfielder Austin Axenty.

The KU U13 Girls Team 1 played to a 1-1 draw against Shuswap after taking the lead early in the game with a strong goal belted into the back of the net by Haleigh Penner off a well placed pass from Kaileigh Mapson. Shuswap countered with a goal early in the second half and despite relentless pressure KU was unable to score the go ahead need to take the game. Kailey Nicholl dominated play anchoring the back line along with goalie Haley Loudon.

The KU U12 Boys Team 1 edged out Vernon’s team 1 in a close fought game that ended 3-2 with goals by Max Morgan, Aaron Obedhoff and Joe Steward. Defensive Play was anchored by Tristan Richardson and Jory Dickie.

Shannon MacGillivray scored her first goal of the season in a spirited game that saw the KU U14 Girls team 2 defeated 5-1 by the Penticton Pinnacles. Raquel Schneider, Maddi Roberts and Zoe Bigwood all played exceptionally well, as did Kelly Goon, in goal for the team’s absent tender.

A well-placed goal late in the second half saw the KU U13 Boys team 1 overtake the Penticton Pinnacles 3-2 in what was a close match. Braden Peters scored Kelowna’s first and third goal, assisted both times by Ayo Fashanu. Goalkeeper Ayden Basher was solid in net making some great saves, while midfielders James Gass and Spencer Lloyd had strong games.

Kelowna United’s rival U15 Boys teams battled one another in a hard fought game that ended 2-0 in team 1’s favour. Goalscorers were Nathan Whitling on a pass from Dylan Vicaretti and Patrick Chore on a pass from Tristain Moench. Goalkeepers Ariel Aguilar (team 1) and Tim Edwards (team 2) had awesome games.

The Bank of Montreal Thompson Okanagan FC U16 Boys won the Skagit Valley Invitational tournament in Burlington, Washington defeating North Whidby Island 2-0 in the final game with goals by Vernon’s Joel Malouf (off a corner kick by Kelowna’s Kirby Carter) and Vernon’s Enzo Paal. The tournament began with the TOFC team overtaking Washington Crossfire 2-1 and continuing on to douse Bellvue 3-1 with goals by Vernon’s Alan Recht (off a pass from Manbir Sandhu of Kamloops), Kelowna’s Graham Myers and Vancouver’s Will Westcott (off a throw-in from Kelowna’s Jordan Brucks). In game three, a single by Paal, scored off a corner kick from Surrey’s Aaron Kandola, was enough to secure 1-0 victory against Washington’s North Point team.

The Thompson Okanagan FC U13 Boys won two of their three games at the Starfire Spring Classic in Washington, their first match a challenging duel that ended in a respectable 2-0 loss to the Washington Crossfire; champions in their state. TOFC deserves much credit for keeping the game tight and scoreless in the opening half and for battling hard throughout the second half in spite of well-taken goals that gave goalkeeper Jake Bainas little chance. The boys were back on the pitch the next day, beating Eastside FC 2-0 in a game that saw keeper Bainas pulled off a remarkable double save that proved critical as Okanagan took a 1-0 lead with a goal by Mackenzie Rigg. Andrew Stevenson doubled the lead in the second half with a dipping shot from well outside the penalty area. Pressure on Greater Renton was relentless in game three, when TOFC showed themselves worthy recipients of a 4-0 victory and third place standing overall. Jayden Rutkowski scored a pair of goals along with Andrew Stevenson and Robin Whittaker.
