Senior Boys’ Soccer 2017 CAIS Tournament
Last week, the Senior Boys’ Soccer team traveled to St. George’s School in Vancouver for the 2017 CAIS soccer tournament. It was bleary eyed group of boys that gathered at 6:30 am Wednesday at Pearson Airport for the long trip west. Upon arrival, the team made its way to Stanley Park for a light practice and kick around. By the time they returned to the hotel everyone was ready for a shower, dinner and then bed.
On Thursday morning, Vancouver lived up to its reputation by bringing some of the rainiest and coldest weather ever seen by the players and coaching staff. Nonetheless, the team played on and were able to strike late to earn a 2-2 tie with Bishop’s College School. After lunch and some hot showers to thaw their weary muscles, the team headed out to play Ridley College in the afternoon under skies that threatened but never delivered any rain. CDS went up 1-0 in the first half but were unable to hold the lead and eventually fell 2-1.
Friday was a beautiful day in the Lower Mainland with sunny blue skies and warming temperatures. The weather was so nice it distracted the team from playing their usual high press game and they fell hard, 9-2 to Saltus Grammar School from Bermuda. The team recovered their bearings in time for the afternoon match against Albert College as they crushed their opposition 8-1.
That result put the team into the Bronze division Championship game on Saturday morning against Stanstead College from Quebec. CDS continued its winning ways defeating their opponent 5-0 to claim the title.
