For a second year, Bowen Island FC placed an open men’s team in the third division of the highly competitive Vancouver Metro Soccer League. Building on a solid showing in their inaugural VMSL season in 2013-14, the Bowen men proved themselves to be one of the top teams in the division, fighting to the wire for the Divisional Championship with Howe Sound rivals, Squamish FC.
Led by all-star center back, Andy Cuba and the prodigious goal scoring of team captain, Steven Reid, the team boasted an impressive overall record of 14 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses for the season.
Bowen Island residents who played on the team included: Allen Sorrell, Amos Rosen, Andy Cuba, Burns Jennings, Gabe Sentlinger, Greg Alexander, Jackson Miller, Jake Carechelo, James Milligan, Jason Campbell, Jesse Gruneau, Morgan Quarry, Nick Page, Tobi Volkmann, Steven Reid, Spencer Reid, and youth call-ups Rod Watts and Brian Cuba.
The men’s team will start training again in March, rain or shine, for competition this spring in the North Shore Sportsmen’s League. Any prospective players interested in trying out for the spring team should contact the BIFC men’s program director, Rick Gruneau at [email protected].
