A large crowd gathered and braved what turned into a snow storm on Friday evening in order to watch the one of the closest final games to be played in the Bowen Island FC co-ed league in recent years. The snow started to fall roughly fifteen minutes in to the game between Team Green and Team Light Blue.
Tied 4-4 by the end of full time, both teams scored in overtime taking the match to a second ten-minute overtime that would end in sudden death.
Steven Reid with Team Light Blue scored the winning goal.
“No one deserved to lose,” says Phil Carlington, co-ed league co-ordinator with Bowen FC.
The money made through registration fees for the co-ed league go back into the Football Club, which is a non-profit.
Soccer-lovers of all skill levels are welcome to join the next round of co-ed league games, which will start in the spring.
