Drillers win Robbie silver

By NANCY CAMPBELL

BAGK EAST they were
called Squirts, but the
Lynn Valley Drillers
gave the lie to the name
as they battled to a
sterling finish in the
Robbie International
Soccer Tournament.
The tournament was held at
the end of June in Scar-
bourough, Ontario, and
featured teams of both sexes
and all ages from 11!
countries, including 21 states
and seven provinces.

The Drillers are an Under-
8 club in the Lynn Valley

Soccer Association,
reknowned for its select
Falcon teams. Although in
B.C. the age group is
commonly known as Under-
8 in league play, in Ontario
the youngsters are known as
Squirts.

(Older group names in-
clude Atoms for Under-10s,
Mosquitos for Under-12s,
Peewees for Under-14s and
Bantams for Under-16s.)

The Drillers won five
games straight in their 28-
team division before losing a
10 decision to a Scar-
borough club in the finals
and finishing with the silver
medal.

team finished with 13-0,
their defensive style of
playing becoming all the
more obvious when Lynn
Valley outshot them 14-3 in
the final.

The Drillers were the only
house team competing in
their category — all other
teams were selects. On their
way to the top the boys
defeated the favourite, St.
Andrew of Ontario, 4-1.

Finishing off their
preliminary games were wins
over Armourdale (4-0) and
Erin Mills (7-0), both of
Ontano.
