Pegasus moving up

Surrey soccer squad blanks Columbus

ICST Pegasus continued its climb up the Premier Division standings last weekend, blanking Columbus FC 4-0 in a Vancouver Metro Soccer League game last Friday night at Newton Athletic Park.

Pegasus, which began the season with just two wins in its first 11 games, is on a 7-1-1 (won-tied-loss) run and in sixth place in the 14-team league.

Ryan Powell, Diaz Kambere, Sahil Sandhu and Niko Marcina were the goal scorers for Pegasus, while Amar Dhinsa earned the shutout.

Pegasus will be in New Westminster tomorrow (Saturday) to play the Sapperton Rovers.

Pegasus was one of three Surrey teams to post victories last weekend.

The Surrey United Firefighters maintained their slim one-point atop the Premier Division, blasting Sapperton 5-0 at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

Andrew Proctor with two goals, Steve Kindel, Angus Burke and Cam Wilson netted the United goals, helping Surrey to its sixth straight win.

United has a 15-2-3 record, and a slim lead over the 14-4-2 Coquiltam Metro Ford Wolves. They will be on the road to play the Richmond FC Hibernians tomorrow afternoon.

The other two local teams in the Premier Division clashed head-to-head Sunday night at Newton Athletic Park, where Akal FC eked out a 2-1 win over the Punjab Hurricanes.

Cam Hundal gave the Hurricanes the lead after a half hour of play, but B.J. Rockson and Desmond Tachie replied for Akal.

The win moved the 4-6-10 Akal crew to within a point of the 5-4-11 Hurricanes, who are in 11th place.

Akal FC will play Croatia SC in Vancouver Sunday, while the Hurricanes are at home at Newton Athletic Park against the last place Serbian White Eagles.
