page 6 The Douglas College Royals Mens’ Soccer Team had a busy time of it over the past two weeks, playing five games and going unbeaten in three of those. by STEWART WOOLVERTON Tuesday, Oct. 16, they came away 4-2 winners over. Trinity Western College in Langley. Goalscorers for Douglas in that game were Paul Piovesan, with two, Lucky Gill, and Karnail Mangat. On Thursday, Oct. 17, the Royals faced Malaspina College Mariners in a game that had been postponed from the weekend before. .This was a four-pointer in more ways than one. It had been agreed upon by the league that the game was to count as a make-up for both missed games; a win being worth four points in the stand- ings. Therefore, both teams went into it with a great deal of enthusiasm. Douglas struck first, however, when Rob Su, set up on a free kick by Lucky Gill, ‘put the ball past the Malaspina goalkeeper 10 minutes into the game. Malaspina tied it up 18 minutes later, and the score remained that way for the rest of the game, although the Royals had an edge on the play. Most memorable quote of the game came from a Malaspina player: ‘’l can’t see the ball, man.’’ Friday, Oct. 19, Douglas played the return game against Trinity Western. It looked at first as if the score would be similar to Tugsday’s game, espe cially when the Royals minute into the game.

Doug- las had a number of chances to score after that, but could not put the ball in the net, even when Rob Su and Dan Dos Reis had a breakaway in the last minute of the game. On Saturday, Oct. 27, Douglas played against a tougher opponent, Capilano College, and did not fare quite as well. Cap was up 2-0 by halftime, and managed to raise that figure to 4-0 before the Royals showed any signs of fighting back. However, when they did finally get on the board, it was in great style, as they scored three goals in 11 minutes, interrupted only once by a reply from Capilano. Jim (he never did say what his last name was) scored the first goal on a pass from Paul Piovesan. Cap followed eee this one with a goal eight minutes later. In the next minute, Billie (never got his last name, either) scored off of a free kick to make the score 4-2. Then, only two minutes later, Paul Selezinka scored on a pass from Jim (again, last name unknown) to close out the scoring.
