Adding another chapter to a friendly and increasingly even rivalry, the Blue Toque FC club defeated the Untouchaballs by a 6-5 count to earn their first indoor soccer championship with the Comox Valley Sports & Social Club.
With Emma Greene sniping goals from the right wing and Grant McLeod providing a booming shot from the middle of the floor when he jumped up into the action, the Untouchaballs had a difficult time shutting down the varied Blue Toque offence. Captain Alex Mackay and Owen Embree helped keep the defence stout against the Untouchaballs’ talented snipers like Micaiah Kind and Darren Bergh.
Third place in the A Tier of the 14-team co-ed league went to Cona Hostel is Neato with an 8-7 win over the Red Card Heroes. The Shin Splints notched a 10-7 win over Word of Mouth for fifth place and the Spartans finished in seventh with a 7-2 victory over Das Grun.
In the B Tier, the Thrifty’s Goal Diggers won 10-4 over the Honey Badgers to take first place and the Free Lions notched a 5-3 victory over the Beer Leaguers for third. And Footloose managed a 4-3 victory over Abusement Park to finish in fifth in their tier.
