The Aldergrove United Premier Mens Soccer Team is competing in provincial championships for the Adult Provincial A Cup (open age group).
They had their first provincial game Saturday, April 22 at Langley’s Yorkson Creek Middle School against the Bays Utd FC from Vancouver Island. The score was 4-1 for Aldergrove. Aldergrove’s Josh Brown, Brett Wiens, Mitch Kuemper and Ko Ota scored.
Each game is elimination, so if you lose you’re out. There were 16 teams in total that made it to provincials, and now there are eight teams left. Aldergrove will be playing against Vic West FC this weekend. It will most likely be Saturday at the same field.
There are five Fraser Valley teams that qualified for the provincials – Aldergrove United, Langley United A, Abbotsford United A, PMO Rangers, PMO Lordco Gunners A, along with teams from the Vancouver Metro Soccer League and some teams from Vancouver Island.
After the first round, Aldergrove United, Langley United A and PMO Lordco Gunners A are still in it and will be competing in the semi-final rounds this weekend.
