Nelson plays host to BC Soccer Girl’s Provincial B Cup
“(BC Soccer) officials will talk about how they’ll proceed with concerns about the smoke and weather when they arrive,” Palfenier said.“It’s starting to cool down, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be water breaks during the games,”This is the third time in Nelson Youth Soccer history the association has hosted the Provincial B Cup.The inaugural event happened in the early 2000’s with the last time being in 2009.Palfenier, part of all three tournaments, said it’s a bit of a crapshoot to see if there’s any home field advantage for the Nelson teams.“I think there’s always the pressure being the host team but there’s also the relief of being able to sleep in your own bed that compensates,” Palfenier explained.Nelson U13 Selects are the first team to take to the pitch Thursday at 11 a.m. against Kelowna.At 1 p.m. the remaining two teams open play, the U15s up against North Shore while the U14s place Kelowna.The complete schedule can be seen on the BC Soccer website.The Opening Ceremonies go Thursday afternoon, beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the Lakeside Rotary Park.All action takes place at the Lakeside Soccer Fields.The finals are slated for Sunday.GOALKICK: Nelson Youth Soccer also has teams competing at the BC Soccer Provincial B Cup in 100 Mile House and Penticton. Organizers will be monitoring the heat, and smoke, from the local Sitkum Creek Wildfire when the BC Soccer Girl’s Provincial B Cup comes to Nelson beginning Thursday at the Lakeside Fields.Tournament Coordinator Kim Palfenier said officials are hopeful the city has seen the worst of the fire that began Saturday.“The air quality was our main concern because of the fire but the air quality alert is worse in Vancouver than it is here so we’re looking pretty good,” Palfenier said on the eve of the tournament.“(However) officials will be monitoring the smoke, warm temperatures and any thunderstorm warnings that may crop up during the tournament.”The four-day BC Soccer Tournament, hosted by Nelson Youth Soccer, features age categories U13, U14 and U15.The tournament begins Thursday through to Sunday with 24 teams competing in a full slate of games.Each age division features eight teams from the various zones around the province divided into two pools of four.The teams in the pools play a round robin with the winner advancing to the gold medal games Sunday against the winner of the opposite pool.The second-place teams meet for the bronze medal while the remaining teams play for consolation rankings.
Rivoli United scored a massive win in their battle for survival and in the process dented UWI FC’s hopes for a semi-final place after scoring a 4-3 win in a goal fest at Spanish Town Prison Oval yesterday. However, the Marcel Gayle-coached team’s demise was mainly down to faulty goalkeeping from the usually reliable Amal Knight, who had three blunders that resulted in goals for the Spanish Town-based Rivoli. Kemar Bennett fired the home team in front after 10 minutes. He had Knight to thank, as the goalie allowed a tame long-range effort to creep between his legs. Valentino Gardener then capitalised on a poor clearance from the goalkeeper to slot home the second six minutes later for a 2-0 lead. Dino Schaffe’s towering header from a corner on 37 minutes reduced the deficit for UWI. But Nicholas Scott restored Rivoli’s two-goal cushion when his weak shot slipped under Knight to make the score 3-1. Anthony Grant pulled UWI within one goal again, in the 67th minute, when he turned home a cross from close range However, Dellon Dixon made it 4-2 on 72 minutes. Girvan Brown made it 4-3 from the penalty spot, after former Rivoli frontman, Anthony Greenland, was pulled down inside the area. However, Nicholas McMorris missed a great opportunity to steal a point for the visitors when he headed over the bar from 12 yards, in time added. Rivoli’s assistant coach, Marlon Williams, believes they can save relegation. “I am feeling so great. This three points is really good for us, it can only build our confidence so we move forward. All season we have not scored four in a match and we did that today, that shows the boys have made the commitment. It’s a great boost for our team that we can score goals now and three points from UWI who are in fourth means that we can save relegation,” he commented. UWI’s Gayle said it was just a bad day for his goalkeeper. “It was just one of those days, it’s unfortunate (for Knight). We went behind early and we tried to come back, but it was tough conditions to play under, the under footing (Muddy conditions) wasn’t good today. But I give credit to the guys; we went 2-0 down early, then 3-1 and we came back 4-3. It was a tough one on the road, but (semi-final position) it’s still in sight and we are going to come out Sunday (next game) and work hard again,” he said. Meanwhile, the game between Boys’ Town and Reno at Barbican was blown off after 10 minutes with the score at 0-0 due to heavy rain and a waterlogged field. In the late match, Harbour View defeated Waterhouse 2-1 on a late double from Nicholas Beckett. Bottom of the table Waterhouse led for 85 minutes through Jermain ‘Tuffy’ Anderson’s goal.

Ward, who is 19, was charged with handling stolen goods after Garda Paul McGee seized €36k of copper wiring from a van Ward was travelling in a week ago at the Dry Arch Roundabout in Letterkenny.Ward was released on bail with strict conditions including that he stay out of County Donegal until his trial, except for court appearances.He was also warned to stay at the address in Cavan he had given to Gardai.However at today’s court Inspector Michael Harrison told Judge Kelly that Cavan Gardai had called to the address on a number of occasions and there was no sign of Ward.Gardai, he said, were not satisfied that Ward was actually staying at the address he had given.Defence solicitor Patsy Gallagher told the court that he had been given assurances by the landlord of the property that Ward was staying there.Judge Kelly remarked: “Proof of the paying of rent is not proof that he is living there.”However Mr Gallagher said his client just happened to be out of the property at the times Gardai had called.Judge Kelly ordered Ward to give his mobile phone number to Gardai and said he must respond when contacted by Gardai.A co-accused Tom ‘Ernie’ McDonagh, also 19, of 42 Hazelbrook Crescent, Letterkenny, has been charged with theft and handling stolen goods.He is currently in custody.The men were driving a van with the registration plate 04 CN 6132 and had been using the address 11A Ard Glass, Letterkenny.TRAVELLER GANG SUSPECT WASN’T AT ADDRESS GIVEN TO GARDAI was last modified: September 10th, 2013 by John2Share this:Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)Click to share on Telegram (Opens in new window)Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)Click to share on Skype (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window) Tags:TRAVELLER GANG SUSPECT WASN’T AT ADDRESS GIVEN TO GARDAI
