Good luck to all of our teams as we close the regular season schedule this weekend.

Mountain FC teams engaged in a very tough back-to-back weekend facing Revolution FC on Saturday followed by games versus Coquitlam Metro Ford on Sunday. In all, 14 games were played with Mountain FC teams managing to record points in 9 of them. Several of our teams are locked in very tight Divisional battles that look like they will go to the wire. Once again this coming weekend, most of the teams will play twice. Saturday’s host match day involves the Thompson-Okanagan FC followed by Sunday matches in Surrey versus Coastal FC. This weekend may well determine most of the SYL Finals qualification spots in the Pacific Northwest Division. Follow the teams through their game reports in the submenus above. Best of luck to all of our teams as they enter a critical portion of the schedule!

Also, congratulations to our U12 Boys and U12 Girls teams who have now concluded their seasons.

Mountain FC was involved in their busiest weekend to date as several teams were challenged with back-to-back games. While the U12 Boys were idle, the U12 Girls battled to a 1-1 Draw on Friday night versus Coquitlam but had difficulty finding their legs the following day dropping the game to the Whitecaps Prospects. The remaining Mountain teams faced Coastal FC at home on Saturday then traveled to Abbotsford on Sunday. In total, 13 games were played with Mountain teams taking points in 11 of them. Overall, an excellent weekend for the Club as our teams continue to establish positions in the very competitive Pacific Northwest Division. For game reports, please refer to the team submenus above.

With a two week break in the SYL schedule, Mountain teams will have an opportunity to re-group in training as well as engage in exhibition matches. Four of the teams will also be competing in the Baker Blast Tournament. June 25 – 27. Good luck to all of our teams….

While the U16 Girls, U16 Boys and U14 Boys were victorious, the U15 Boys, U14 Girls and U13 Boys settled for draws in each of their games. Meanwhile, the U12 Boys were busy in Surrey Sunday afternoon taking on their counterparts from Coastal FC. For game reports, please refer to the team submenus above.

We would like to congratulate all coaches and players on their outstanding efforts this season and this past week in Florida.  Although we narrowly missed another Championship Title this year with the U15 boys losing out on penalty kicks in the final, and having the U13 and U16 boys eliminated in the Semi Finals, all the teams were extremely competitive and represented the club in a professional manner on and off the pitch.  We are very proud of the results we have achieved and look forward to more success in 2010.

In a nail biting finish, the Mountain WFC U15 Boys team just lost out in the finals which went to a penalty shoot out - see the following game report from the Whitecaps ( www.whitecapsfc.com)

Congratulations to the Coastal WFC U16 Boys and Girls teams who won their championships.

Mountain WFC U-15 Boys 1-1 RSL Florida (RSL Florida win 5-4 on penalties)

Looking to emulate their club's U-16 Boys' championship run of 2008, Mountain U-15 Boys had to settle for a runners-up finish after falling 5-4 on penalties to RSL (Real Salt Lake) Florida following a 1-1 extra-time draw.

Both goals came in the first half, with RSL taking the lead before Mountain's Mike Jasinski levelled matters before halftime.

Though much of the contest was evenly balanced, Mountain created the better chances to win the game. Lucas Reis just missed the top corner of RSL's goal in the first half, while Miguel Bustamante had a header cleared off the goalline in extra time.

Though they fell to defeat in a shootout, Mountain head coach Andrea Agnoloni was proud of his team's efforts. "This team is strong and well balanced in every position," he said. "Going into the Finals in Florida, we were confident we would get to the final, which we did. I was impressed by how the players prepared themselves and by their determination to make today's final game."

Mountain technical director Hubert Busby jr., meanwhile, was full of praise for the efforts of all the partner clubs in Florida. "Credit to the Mountain organization in helping the players and coaches prepare for Florida," said Busby. "It's always great to see one of our teams and other BC teams like Coastal advance to the final stages. It's a measurement of the progression being seen by our club and the other partner clubs in the province. In particular, I give credit to my colleague Mark Rogers and his staff at Coastal. They've done a great job in winning two titles today. We're always competitive with each other on the pitch, but we're also very supportive of their program and all of our partner clubs' programs. Many congratulations to them."
