BC Clubs embark on Toyota National Championship events in BC, PEI and Ontario
Newton Athletic Park will be the host venue for the top U17 boys and girls teams from across the country, Gorge FC aims to make Jubilee Trophy history, while BB5 attempts to win back-to-back Men’s Challenge Cup honours after a two-year hiatus.
BC Soccer wishes all of its participating teams the best of luck as they prepare for the Thanksgiving week tournaments from coast to coast.
There will be some extra incentive to visit Newton Athletic park over the course of this Thanksgiving week, as 3 BC teams vie for National honours…with two of them coming from the host community.
Both of Surrey United’s U17 girls and boys teams earned their spot in this year’s tournament by winning their respective Premier Cup finals in June, while the U17 Vancouver Island Wave will also be seeking glory in the Boys division.
