U13 boys qualify for provincial championships
By Liana Pesi
Kelowna United’s U13 boys team 1 will advance to the provincial championships after knocking out Vernon and Kamloops with 5-1 and 4-3 victories Sunday in Salmon Arm. Stefan Obradovic, Steven MacLean, Nikita Taylor, and Matt Fielding scored in KU’s first somewhat lopsided game against Vernon. Obradovic opened the scoring in Sunday’s game against Kamloops off a nice pass from Tomas Pesi. Kamloops retaliated almost immediately with a beautiful cross and header to make it 1-1. Pesi scored on a solid strike just inside the 18-yard-box and Mathew Fielding added a third when a penalty kick was awarded seconds before the half ended, leaving Kelowna ahead 3-1. Kamloops came out hard and suddenly it was a 3-2, however Kelowna stayed calm and continued to work well together and soon forward Dominic Haynes took control and planted a nice one just off the Kamloops keeper’s fingers to make it 4-2 for Kelowna. Kamloops took the score to 4-3 on a close free kick however it wasn’t enough and the victory went to the United 4-3. Kelowna’s always-solid keeper David Denton had an outstanding game.

Intense season-ending game for United U17 boys
By Al McKay
The Kelowna United U17 boys came up short in a hard-fought fast-passed season-ending game against Kamloops this weekend. All season Kamloops beat KU by one goal and Sunday was no exception. An early goal in the first four minutes was all that was needed for the win. Kelowna outplayed Kamloops with numerous scrambles in front of the net but could not put one past their keeper. Kelowna came close when a corner kick tapped in by Mike Miller in the dying minutes of the game was disallowed. United continued playing with heart but was unable to score the go-ahead goal needed to advance to the provincials. Rounding out the solid squad are Kassym Dorsel, Stefano DePieri, Domenic DeMarinis, Brandon Evtushevski, Eric Failes, Josh Gabriel, Taylor Lorincz, Tremayne Koochin, Colin Lowenberg, Justin McKay, Devon Maguire, Cody Martin, Tyler Turner, Mitch Westgate, and James Scott.

Double shootout puts abrupt end to provincial hopes for U14 boys
By Randy De Foy
The Kelowna United U14 boys opened scoring in the first half of Saturday’s game against Shuswap when Alex Stavrou scored a nice header off a cross from Riley Carlson. Alex De Foy had a chance but put it off the cross bar. Kelowna held most of the play in the first half and led by 1-0. Ayden Basher came up with a big save to preserve the lead after Shuwap was awarded a penalty kick. Shuswap applied pressure but Kelowna’s defensive corps of Charlie Tucker, Hayden Ward, Andrew Humphreys, Keaton Roper, Braden Peters, and Chris MacDonnell kept Shuswap off the board. Shuswap scored when they snuck behind the Kelowna defense on a questionable play to tie the game and send it into extra time. The tight game continued as Shuswap went up on a penalty kick, only to have Kelowna tie the game at 2-2 when Humphreys sent a free kick sailing over the Shuswap keeper and into the net. Shootout play was intense with Kelowna kickers Charlie Tucker and Rostam Turner scoring for KU to match Shuswap’s two and force the game into a second shootout Shuswap won with just two goals to Kelowna’s one by Stavrou. Enough cannot be said about Ayden Basher performance in net. Midfielders Spencer Loyd, Ryan Lawson, Jesse Nanci, and forward Tyler Papps also had strong games.
