Shore winners of the Three District
Soccer League .(TDSL) Pioneer
Cup recently.

The locals blanked Wesburn 2-0
arid overwhelmed Edmunds 6-0 on
their way to the April 12 cup final
against Dunbar Bulldogs at
Swangard Stadium.

exciting of the two-day tourna-
ment. A goal by Lynn Valley’s
Kunihiko Hashimoto just after
halftime tied the game at 1-1. The
Falcons eventually won the game
on corner kicks.

Team captain Danny Carlson
needed help from his teammates to
lift the hardware as the Falcons
also won the most sportsmanlike
team trophy. ;

The TDSL is a new league con-
sisting of teams from Vancouver,
Burnaby and the North Shore.

The boys travelled to Victoria
for a provincial cup semi-final en-
counter with Vancouver Island
champion Gordon Head United on
April f1.
