Mid-Isle Soccer Club hosted its first annual five-a-side soccer tournament Saturday and Sunday at Forrest Field. The two-day tournament served as a fundraiser for the Mid-Isle Highlanders and saw a total of 28 teams — including five teams of adults — battle it out in friendly competition. With the addition of Under-21 B.C. Soccer League teams and a new technical co-ordinator, Bill Merriman, to the club this year, Mid-Isle president and coach Willow Hartig said this is the first season their younger players have had older players and older teams to look to as they play. The five-a-side tourney is a great way to support the Highlanders, Hartig added, and “a fun opportunity to play with their friends after the season actually ends.” In bottom right photo, Kalem Baker (at left), Rodrigo Jepson, Ben Villares and Ben Martin pose with Striker, Mid-Isle Soccer Club’s mascot, at Forrest Field during the tournament.
