The Comox/Campbell River Waves U15 boys soccer team dropped a close 2-1 decision Sunday when they hosted their rivals Nanaimo Harbour City FC at Pinecrest.
Despite the greasy field conditions it was perfect weather for a soccer game. The Waves played well, controlling the ball in the midfield. Waves' Torin Halverson scored first, beating the Nanaimo keeper. A few minutes later Nanaimo equalized as one of their players broke in and went one-on one with the keeper.
Waves battled hard, shutting down most of Nanaimo's through balls. In the last minute of the first half Nanaimo scored on a successful rush down the middle, making it 2-1.
The second half saw much action at both ends of the pitch. Waves had several great chances to tie the game. The best opportunity was on a corner kick but the redirected ball hit the crossbar.
