round of the Pakenham Cup. North Delta scored two goals in each half to win the
game 4-0. The defense of Stewart Reimer, Zach Dahl, Jordan Eisenhauer and Dave
Klassen was solid, limiting Delta to a few scoring chances. CBC had two good
chances to score in the first half but Rhett Jewett and Brian Dean were both
unable to slip the ball past a charging keeper.
CBC lost another close
game on Sunday, this time 3-2 to the Dewdney Razorbacks. Dewdney opened the
scoring on a free kick but the 'Cats quickly replied before the half when Joel
Rempel scored. The Razorbacks then got two quick goals to start the second half
to take a 3-1 lead. Brian Dean got one back for the 'Cats but that's as close
as they would come. Dean had a good chance to tie the game in the final minutes
but a diving Dewdney keeper got a hand on his bending shot.

chance they had. Rhett Jewett hit the post and put the rebound just wide and

final whistle.

2-0. The Royals were able to score in the last minute of the first half to come
within one but CBC kept going hard in the second half as Bancroft added two more
goals, one on a penalty kick to make the final 4-1.

Wolves keeper the difference
Sept. 22, 2006

scoring and the game remained 1-0 until early into the second half. That's when
the Wolves scored two quick goals in a row, able to take the lead on
miscommunication between the CBC keeper and centerback. Tyler Bancroft, who
missed on a breakaway earlier in the game, made good on his shot with about 10
minutes remaining to tie the game. The 'Cats nearly had the winner late in the
game when Brian Dean got behind the Wolves defense for a breakaway but his shot
hit the post.

time the Wolves withstood the pressure of the 'Cats for a 3-2 win. Walla Walla
opened the scoring on a corner kick that was deflected in the CBC goal. CBC
tied the Wolves when Brian Dean beat the keeper to a through ball and had a
