This was the game the boys had prepared for the last three weeks after conceding their firt loss in two years to the black and white Abbotsford squad. Right from the first minute the game was a hard battle in the centerhalf, with Abby trying to overpass the mid with long balls but the Mountain defense was focused to win the ball and re-build. It was not until the 30th minute that Mountain got close to take the lead when Gilbert Kyne headed a low ball and the Abby keeper was quick to deflect in a corner. Going into the second half the Mountain players were relaxed but knowing they had to stay sharp every moment of the game. And at the 8th minute mark Anthony Bordignon received a pass from Lucas Sweda and not receiving any pressure from the Abby players he unloaded a shot from 30 yeards that ended in the top right corner away from the reaches of the Abby keeepr. It was the moment everybody had dreamed of in the last 3 weeks. Shortly after iit looked as if Mountain would double the lead when Tanner Whright volleyd the ball from close range and the Abbby keeper at firt looked as if he could not handle the ball bbut in the last moment he was able to reach for the balll as it was crossing the line. The last 10 minutes of the game was intense with Abbotsford pushing players up and hitting the crossbar from a header. The final whistle of the referee was welcomed by Mountain ready to celebrate a well deserved win.

Mountain FC - 2 : 1 - Coastal
Half-time score : 0:1 (mtn:oppos)
Less then 24 hours later Mountain was back on the field on a cloudy, windy and cold morning. In order to maintain the lead in the standing it was paramount to start hard and keep up the pace. Although Coastal game plan was to apply high pressure to our back line during the build up, at the 10th minute mark a fast and well constructed play saw Jayson Santiago receive a golden ball on the righht side and when everybody screamed to the goal everybody was also surprised the ball just peeled off the far post. Just a few minutes later another golden chance when Jordan MacDonnell finds himself in front of the goalkeeper but his shots is well saved by the Coastal keeper. The next 20 minutes both teams are battling for possession with not a clear chance from both squads. It is until the 34th minute mark that the Coastal striker intercept a short pass and on a convoluted play in the 18yards box Coastal takes the lead. Mountain gets on the field in the second half determined not to loose a game that should have been won in the first 10 minutes. And it is from a cross fromthe right side that Miguel Bustamante deliver a nice volley in the back of the net to tie the game. Armed with the momentum Mountain forces Coastal in their half and at the 15th mark Lucas Sweda controls a ball at the half, dribbles away on the right side and sends away a fast cross which is met by a well timed elevation of Tanner Wright that headds the ball in the net. The last 5 minutes of the game Coastal creates some problems to the back line but it is all ordinary administration for a focused Andrew Hicks Mountain goalkeeper.

We had to wait until the 21st minute mark when Jordan MacDonell was brought down inside the penalty box and captain Anthony Bordignon did not waste any time to score fromthe spot. In the last 20 minutes Mountain could have scored more goals, first with Tanner Whright, while turning and twisting in the box shot the ball wide not realizing Lucas Reis was wide open in front of the net, then with Colton Walker who made a sttrong run down the left flank and then receive the ball while running toward the center, the ball missed the left post by a few inches. This win was needed badly to restore spirit and confidence among the boys.
