Sometimes soccer truly lives up to its moniker of ‘the beautiful game’ and the Free Lions put all kinds of pretty on display en route to their B Tier Indoor Soccer Championship.
With some fantastic ball movement and great teamwork, the Lions sent a barrage of shots at the net in their 9-5 victory over The Ballsacs in the Comox Valley Sports & Social Club’s winter indoor soccer league. If not for a mix of stellar goalkeeping, a few posts and a number of shots just whizzing past the target, the score could have climbed higher.
The Lions entered the playoffs as the top seed with a 5-2 record and played like a team with numerous seasons under their belt. The Ballsacs entered as the third seed at 4-2-1 after putting together a solid first season in the league but couldn’t make it all come together in the final.
The Subs Bench finished in third spot with a 7-3 win over Gen-Y, the TC Valley Collision Write-Offs nabbed fifth spot with a 6-2 win over Balls to the Walls, and The Offside wrapped up seventh overall with an 8-3 win over the Toepunters.
The A Tier of the 15-team league is currently in their playoffs with Los Lobos (6-1), AFC United (6-1), Epic (4-2-1) and Blue Toque FC (4-2-1) the top four seeds shooting for first place.
Registration is open until April 14 for the CVSSC’s spring sports leagues, including the switch to outdoor soccer. Other popular co-ed leagues include both beach volleyball and indoor volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, flag football, slo-pitch and kickball.
