Striker John Matejicka had a good season Thursday night, scoring four goals and setting one up as the Silver Stars put away Lake Country 6-1 in men’s 50+ soccer play at Marshall Field 3.
Rob Ross also scored for the Stars, who gained an own goal from Lake Country. Midfielder Wayne Aasen had a strong game for the Stars setting up several goals.
Stars’ keeper Yogi Kongsdorf had a relatively quiet night almost finishing three chapters of Fifty Shades of Grey, and only losing his shutout in the dying minutes from a cracker from just inside the 18-yard box. The Stars are 10-8-5.
Kelowna #1 brushed back Vernon Kal Tire 2-0 at Mission 71 Sports Field.
Dave Shorter scored on a 20-yard free kick with keeper Geoff Bradbury staring into the bright sun, in the sixth minute.
Walter Morel buried a rebound through Bradbury’s hands after a fabulous save on a rocket from in tight, completing the Kelowna scoring late in the first half.
Jim Sparrow struck the post on a partial breakaway for the Tiremen (13-8-2), whose Sleeman’s Man of the Match was central defender Gordie Campbell.
n Players and teams are needed to fill two adult co-ed indoor divisions for play starting Friday, Oct.12 and going until the end of March.
Plans call for one recreational division open to everyone, all skill levels. The competitive division is more geared to experienced players or people wanting a more competitive game.
