The victory moves the FC Victoria Gorge team to first place in pool B with two victories and secures a semi-final berth to be played on April 1st.

Sunday's game was played under welcoming sunny skies and followed the youth girls tournament that was held at Hampton Park that day. Many young girls, 9 and 10 years of age stayed to watch two of the best amateur women's teams on Vancouver Island compete in the cup match.

YOUNG GUNS GET EXHIBITION OPPORTUNITY

ACADEMY GIRLS JOIN 1988-1990's IN MATCH VERSUS ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE
A Spring Break mid afternoon game was played at Hampton Park yesterday between FC Victoria Gorge and Royal Military College of Kingston, Ontario. The FC Victoria Gorge Women's team for this game was made up of 1988-1990 born players, players from the FC Victoria Academy program and one W-League veteran player in Carey Gustafson. RMC are in Victoria to compete in the spring cup hosted by the University of Victoria.

The FC Victoria Gorge Women's team were decked out in medium blue and white vertical stripes, a kit courtesy of Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship League. The only feminine hint was the pink script logo of the former sponsor of the storied franchise. The new look seemed to inspire the locals and gelled a group of girls, most whom never competed with each other in the past.

GUESTS BRING A's GAME TO HAMPTON

SECOND HALF PLAY EARNS VICTORY
FC Victoria Gorge were caught emotionally light in the opening half versus an inspired Victoria A's squad in league action on March 4th. The guests withstood an early surge and then took advantage of some defensive miscues and nearly walked away with a lead at the half. Some alert play by keeper Amanda Baart kept the game scoreless at the half.

The halftime discussion led by coach Dew gave direction for style of play and the girls responded with diagonal through balls and well executed crosses into the primary target areas learned in training. Kate's cross from behind the Vic A's back line from the left side hit the target area populated by Heather who made no mistake in forcing the ball to the back of the net.

Rawnsley would finish the scoring on a clever run from her left fullback position. Cheryl fed her a nice roller that allowed our defender to walk in and finish neatly to the near post to complete the scoring.

Credit to the Vic A's and their courageous play on the day. The 2-0 result is a credit to their determination and effort on the day.
