This past weekend the Comox Valley Division 1 women’s team went to Richmond B.C. to compete in the provincial finals.
After being unbeaten through the whole season starting last fall, fate dealt the team a cruel blow. Into the final four minutes of extra time of the second half, the team was up 1-0, when the opponents scored, taking the game into penalty kicks and only their second loss.
The players are still proud to have made it this far, and were very well supported by their kids, partners, families and other Comox Valley fans.
Many fans living in Vancouver came out and, as the game was being broadcast live online, fans across the country and even in Europe were watching, and cheering.
The team was led by the talented coaches Mike Oldale and Curtis Cameron, who, along with the team, will now be taking a well-deserved rest.
