Hundreds compete at youth soccer event at South Surrey Athletic Park

More than 400 local soccer players competed at the Delta Cup, which was hosted by Peace Arch Soccer Club March 3 at South Surrey Athletic Park.

Even the rain held off.

“It wasn’t too bad at all,  just a little windy, that’s it. It was a good day,” Peace Arch Soccer Club president Brandt Watkins said.

The Delta Cup featured 28 teams – and more than 400 players – from throughout the Delta Youth Soccer Association – which includes Peace Arch, Ladner, North Delta and Tsawwassen youth associations.

In addition to the Delta Cup, which was for under-11 to under-14 players, a windup for Peace Arch’s mini and micro divisions (under-5 to under-0) was also held at the park.
