"Pxxx Poor" defending from Cavalry leads to dropped points, Dinos men stumble at home
Cavalry FC continued their push for third place on the weekend and battled Pacific to a somewhat disappointing 3-3 draw on Vancouver Island. Manager Tommy Wheeldon Jr had another word before "poor" in his comments about defending, but I wasn't sure if adding it to the title would trigger explicit warnings for this episode. We discuss the match.
The Calgary Wild are finishing up their season playing for pride and their jobs. They faced first place AFC Toronto at McMahon Stadium on the weekend and suffered another 2-1 loss to the league leaders. We review this match as well.
There were a lot of USports matches over the weekend and we provide updates on all of them, including the Dinos men, who only captured 1 of 6 possible points. The Cougars men had a win and a loss which keeps them in first place in the division. The Dinos women maintained their unbeaten season while the Cougars beat the other Cougars and lost to Saskatchewan.
The Calgary ACAC derby happened again over the weekend and as usual the SAIT Trojans swept the Ambrose Lions. Both men's and women's Trojans teams have clinched playoff spots.
A couple of former podcast guests found the back of the net in Europe this weekend. We give updates about Bori Fayale and Kendall Showers in our final segment.
