FVSL Newsletter - Week 3-2021

From the Media Desk of the Fraser Valley Soccer League…

After three weeks of play the semi-finalists have been determined in the Soccer City Cup. The FVSL’s top
teams have boiled themselves down to just four sides remaining with a chance at the trophy. How did
we get here and who is going through? Check out the SC Cup Review for all the answers.
Two side have emerged as the early leaders in Division 1. Convincing wins for both TWU Spartans B and
Tzeachten FC mean that they are the only two teams on nine points through three games played. TWU
routed Premier FC U21 7-0 as, after a close first half, Spartans blew things open after the break led by a
four-goal outburst from Alexander Roxburgh. For Tzeachten it was a 4-0 win over Juba FC with Dale
Long notching a brace and Jonathan Vugteveen nosing ahead in the Golden Glove race with his second
clean sheet of the season. Premier and Juba are still looking for their first points of the season along
with Langley United B who were edged 3-2 by TSS FC Rovers II U21. That was also the score in a win for
North Delta SC NEWWAY over Surrey United SC Reds U21 while Abbotsford United C recorded their
first win of the campaign with a 2-1 success over Port Moody Piranhas. Goalkeepers Carlos Kiel and
Nathaneal Lott took centre stage for FC Tigers Vancouver B and Surrey United SC B respectively in the
other match of the weekend which finished as a 0-0 draw.
The pace setters in Division 2B through three weeks continue to be North Surrey Mustangs. They made
it a perfect three wins from three with a 6-1 triumph over Surrey United SC C. Two further goals for
North Surrey’s Joao Victor Carvalho took his tally to six for the campaign and has staked him to an early
lead in the Golden Boot race. Mustangs are all alone atop the 2B table, with second place Langley
United Young Guns sitting three points back after beating local rivals Langley United Dragons 5-2 on
Friday night with five different goal scorers getting in on the action for the Young Guns. Across in
Division 2A it was a third win of the season for Abbotsford United B. They put Mission SC A to the
sword in a 4-1 win with Manveer Dhillon acting as the offensive catalyst this week, scoring a brace.
Abby are, so far, being matched stride for stride by Ridge Meadows SC United who overwhelmed Surrey
United SC Elite with a barrage of early goals to take a 5-0 lead before cruising to a 7-2 victory with goals
from seven different players. It is shaping up to be a two-horse race in that group with third place FC
Faly B U21 already four points behind the leaders. Faly earned their first win of the year this week after
successive draws to begin the season. Dylan Katshunga Djungu-Sungu was the hat-trick hero as he
scored all three goals for Faly to lead them to a 3-2 win against promoted side Langley City FC.
Our Match of the Week was a top of the table clash in Division 3B. However, it was a one-sided
encounter as Pacific United FC had little trouble in a 5-1 win over WRU Cloverdale FC A. It was
Inderpaul Gill doing the damage with two goals in the game, alongside Tajinder Grewal who also had a
brace. Karamveer Bhullar added another while Vigna Mariano had the lone reply for Cloverdale.
Pacific remain tied atop the 3B table, though, as Thakur Pal had a pair of goals to help deliver a third win
of the year for Surrey FC Royals in a 4-2 victory over North Surrey Mustangs B. Parity continued to
reign supreme in Division 3A this week. Both Abbotsford SA Graduates U21 and Ridge Meadows SC
Rowdies were handed their first losses of the campaign and, as a result, sunk down the table
dramatically. Graduates were edged 4-3 by Mission SC U21 thanks largely to a pair of goals by Jacob
Carl, while Rowdies were on the wrong side of a 1-0 loss to Tri City FC A. The lone goal of that match
was tallied by Matthew Varrick with Michael Yip chalking up a second shutout of the year. The only
team who came into the weekend on top of the table to pick up a win was Langley United Impact, who
now sit alone in first place on seven points. Two goals by Jeremy Amberg were enough to see off the
challenge of PoCo FC Rockets and deliver a 3-1 win.
While Division 4 is used to seeing big goal scoring performances, it has seemingly seen team spread
their goals around to begin the season. There were no individual standouts this week, but PoCo FC
Pacific registered a big 6-0 win, showing Ridge Meadows SC Folly the error of their ways. PoCo are
sharing space in the 4A penthouse with Abbotsford Phoenix SC who put a quad past Tri City FC B in a 4-
0 win. There are no perfect records left in 4B either after new boys Grass & Hops FC were beaten 3-2 by
North Delta SC United SJ. Perhaps this is a new era of parity in Div. 4? We shall have to wait and see.
The Masters 1 division continued to deliver quality matches this week and appears as though it should
be worth keeping an eye on this season. North Delta SC Rangers, along with Langley United Knights
and Chilliwack Rapids were all winners this week, moving them all onto six points. Jairo Rodriguez
scored again for North Delta, adding two more goals to his tally in their 3-0 win over rivals Surrey United
SC with Graham Baskott recoding the clean sheet. Jason Flint was the hero for Langley with both their
goals in their 2-1 win against WRU South Surrey FC while it was Craig Robinson who had a brace for
Chilliwack to help the Rapids double up 4-2 on Aldergrove United Players. None of the three league
leaders play each other this weekend, so we will see if they can all breakaway from the pack or if anyone
is clawed back down into the maul.
MATCH OF THE WEEK

This week we drop in on Masters 2 where we find a top of the table clash between Ridge Meadows SC
Wolves and White Rock United. Both teams have began the season with a perfect three wins in three
weeks, but now their will face off head-to-head with both sides looking to move into sole possession of
first place. Ridge Meadows come into this match having scored 13 goals while only allowing three
against and might be slight favourites, especially considering they will be at home in this match. David
Morin and George Zaspal have been producing regular offense for the Wolves and are both on a goal
per game pace through three weeks. At the back, Luis Ramirez will be looking to build on his first clean
sheet of the year last time out after seeing his goal breached in each of the first two matches of the
season. Also in top form at the minute for Ridge Meadows are Dave Sambol and Kasrah Lohrasb and the
home side will dearly hope they can continue in that vein.
Lining up across from Ridge Meadows will be a White Rock side who have shown an ability to find a way
to get a result. They began the season with a narrow 1-0 win and followed it up with a pair of 4-2
successes. It would seem then that they are comfortable in tight affairs along with more open matches.
They will be relying on the play of Marlon Cullimore to get the job done offensively, while Darcy Kube is
going to have to be at his best in goal to keep out Ridge Meadow’s high powered offensive threats.
White Rock will also need big performances out of Sam Kombe and Scott McNeil if they are going to be
able to take anything out of this match. The calendar page has only just turned to October, but already
the games are starting to have big ramifications for the season!
Ridge Meadows SC Wolves vs. White Rock United goes Friday night at 8pm at Pitt Meadows High.
