Season comes to close

Perhaps the only blemish on Langley Athletic FC’s first season in the United Soccer League was the fact the local side did not qualify for the post-season.

Playing in the USL’s Northwest Division, Langley finished with a 5-2-2 mark in their inaugural season. But unfortunately for the squad, they lost their final two games and finished second to Surrey’s Revolution Football Club (7-1-1).

Only the top team from the division advances.

But other than that disappointment, club manager Ewen Dobbie was very impressesd with the league and plans to field another team next spring.

Dobbie is also looking to field a local team to compete either in the Fraser Valley or Vancouver Metro league this fall and winter.
