While more than two months had passed since the last Ravens’ home game, the faithful turned out in good numbers to take in the BC semi-final on a summer like day at Jericho.

The 19-5 half-time scoreline flattered the Ravens.

BC Premier Quarter-Finals Rosters & Results: Capilano Edged by JBAA, UVic Defeat Westshore – Women’s Premier CW Fall to Westshore

The quarter-final results are in and the favourites won most of the matches. UVic upset higher ranked Westshore in men’s Premier but with the Cooper Coats factor we had predicted that upset. The Bays had a very close match with Capilano as the Caps raised their game for their final match of the season. In women’s Premier, Westshore put in a strong home field performance and glided past CW, earning them a trip to Meralomas for the semi-finals. In men’s and women’s Div 1 all the higher ranked home teams claimed victory and move on to the semi-finals. That pattern held true right down to Div 2 and Div 3.
