WHAT A team. The North Shere Metros under-16 squad continues to
bring home the trophies — most recently winning the national Petro-
Canada Cup. Kathy Houlden (left), Nancy Ferguson (centre) and Tiffany
Chester show off the results of recent wins. Chester holds the Petro-

Canada Cup, won in Ottawa last week.

THE DREAM came true for the
North Shore Metros as they won
the Canadian under-16 girls’ soccer
championships in Ottawa with
three straight wins Thanksgiving
weekend.

The Metros became the first
North Shore girls’ team ever to win
a national title by beating
Lakeshore of Quebec !-0 in the
final with midfielder Sophie
Spilborgh’s long, high drive.

The North Shore team complete-
ly dominated the first 45 minutes,
but Quebec had some great oppor-
tunities in an even second half and
goalkeeper Christine Corben need-
ed to be in the right spot to keep
them off the scoreboard.

The B.C. champions edged
Sherwood Park, Alta, 4-2 in the
opening round as consistent
pressure led to a 2-0 halftime lead
with both goals coming from left
winger Tiffany Chester.

Alberta charged back to tie it
midway through the last half but
Spilborgh’s lofty leftfooter with
two minutes to go dropped in
behind the keeper and became the
winner.

Striker Lisa Eastman then
scored on a breakaway pass from
Chester with 15 seconds left.

St. John’s, Nfld., was no match
for North Shore in the second
round as the Metros rang up a 9-1
triumph that began with striker
Catherine Pickup’s breakaway
goal four minutes into the contest.

Then Chester scored five con-
secutive goals — the last two on
headers — before the half ended,
several on superb crosses from
right winger Julie Westerman.

Two second-half tallies by
striker Kim Wallace and one by
midfielder Jennifer Gardiner
wrapped up the winners’ scoring
before St. John’s scored again.

SOCCER PLAYERS Dan Crouch
and George Mrsic of North Van-
couver are expected to be an im-
portant part of Canada’s indoor
soccer team at the World Champi-
onships now on in Australia.

Joining four other soccer players’

from the Lower Mainland on’ the
Canadian Amateur Senior Men’s
Indoor Soccer Team, Crouch and
Mrsic, both 22, will apply their
skills in the squad's drive for a de-
cent showing.

“George is really looking
sharp,’’ team manager Charlie
Cuzzetto said last week before the
team left for Australia. ‘‘He’s go-
ing to be one of our key guys (and)
open some eyes down there.’”

Sixteen countries will be com-
peting in this third world champi-
onship, with Canada playing in
Group B along with England,
Paraguay and Mexico, which was
brought in after Portugal pulled
out.

With Paraguay ranked second
and Mexico the latest winner of the

is up against some stiff competi-

“We think we have a pretty
good shot at it,’’ said Cuzzetto,
who pointed to Crouch’s goalten-
ding skills as playing an important
part in Canada’s efforts. ‘‘We feel
with the team we have we can take
them.”’

Played on an arena slightly

larger than a basketball court, in-
door soccer is a more technical
version of its outdoor counterpart,
requiring greater control and
finesse.

petition, winning a third straight
title.

stalwart group of defenders that
included Kris Brown, Katherine
Donovan, Michelle Leber and Liz
Palmer.

Nancy Ferguson, relentless at
centre midfield, joined outside
midfielders Kathy Houlden and
Patty Hansen as important factors
in the tournament.
