On the pitch last week

Womens Side

The Classic Premier ladies dominated a game on Wednesday, but couldn't find the back of the net and ended in a 0-0 tie. Right now the team is sitting in second place in their division.

The Division Two ladies had a similiar game, but unfortunately lost 1-0. Currently they are sitting in the middle of the pack, which is great for their first year in this division.

The Division Six ladies lost their last game 4-2 and are sitting in the middle of the pack.

The U18 Girls beat the SW Sting 3-0 in the first playoff game. Played great soccer in the second half with Erin Greeves scoring and excelling breakaway goal and assisted Nikki Cook for her two goals.

Mens Side

The Div. 1 lost 2-1 to Brothers with the last kick of the game. A very close game, but they just couldn't score at the right time. Nathan Templton had an excellent game in goal.

Both the Div. 1 and Div. 4 men are struggling a bit this season and are sitting near the bottom of their division.

The Over 35A team is sitting middle of the pack.

The Over 35B team had an exciting game last Monday against Explorers45 in the Centennial Cup. Cochrane was helped by a resilient defensive line commanded by Greg Barclay and a barrage of goals from Ziad Dagher, Yuri Marmuta, Gordon MacDonald and Sergy Prokushev.

In league play the Over35B team met the Calgary United Old Boys, who unfortunately could only field a team of eight and lost 8-0 to the Rangers

Currently the Over35B team is sitting second in their division.

The Over 45 team played the Red Devils and came from behind to a 3-3 draw. The Rangers dominated play in the second half and were helped by Terry Norman, who scored all three of their goals.

Rangers News

Last Week

Just a couple of games to report on:

Over 45 Mens

O 45 A team played against the Rangers FC to a 2:2 draw.

They had lots of chances to put the competition away and send them home with no points, but in the end the Rangers had to come from behind for the tie with only a few minutes left.

Over 35B Team

As reported by Manager Greg Barclay

Our first goal was assisted by Bart Frasca against the SWU Relics Monday night who sent a perfectly weighted pass to the feet of Ziad Dagher who slotted his first of the season under the diving goalkeeper. The Relics tied it up on a corner kick and then they took the lead when John Rovere pulled a calf muscle and lost the Striker who scored a great goal past our keeper Douwe Van der Molen. Late in the second half with a minute to go Gordon MacDonald managed to break out of his defensive position and out onto his preferred right wing where he took a free kick, bound for the top left corner only to be palmed out by the wrong footed goalkeeper. The ball fell to the feet of Kurt Sollid who blasted the ball at the recovering keeper, the rebound then came to Sergi Proskushev who made no mistake and buried the ball into the back of the net to tie the game in the dying minutes.....

Div 6 - Womens

The women had a tough game against a tough team and fell 0-5.

Classic Premier - Womens

Won their game on Sunday 2-0

There are no games for the rest of the week. Enjoy your long weekend and Happy Canada Day.

Ranger News

Last week on the Pitch

The rain let up a little bit for a few games to take place.

Here is a report from Patrick Ryan, coach of the Mens Div. 1 team and the Girls U18.

Mens Div 1 played against Vipers and lost 2-1 - very close game. Had lots of chances, just couldn't put the game away.

U18 girls played a very good Blizzard team and were blown away in the first half giving up 6 goals, but played a great second half to lsoe 7-1. The score line doesn't do them justice, as we had 4 great chances in the second half - one on one vs the keeper - to make the score a lot closer.

The Over 45 Mens team had a game last Saturday against Serbia and ended in a 3-3 tie. Gunther thought they should have won the game, but couldn't captalize on numerous chances.

The Over 35 Mens B team played the Intrepid Hoods in a Centennial Cup game and won 3-1 last Monday night. On Saturday the 18th, they played Fusion FC and won 3-0

The Womens Div. 2 had a successful game on home field last Tuesday winning 3-0.

The Womens Classic Premier won both their games last week 4-1 and 8-0, with the later coming against a short handed team.

On the Pitch This Week

Wednesday: Mens Over 35B at 6:30pm and Mens Div. 1 at 8:15
Saturday: Mens Over 35A at 12:30 and Mens Over 45 at 2:15

If you can come cheer the teams on.
