Castlega ‘The Tom Cats had beaten the other Castlegar team, the Lions, in the previous weekend, but were surprised by the Inn-mates who are exceptionally strong at the skilled positions. “Our new quarterback, Les Yard, came to us from Vancouver and he’s made a big impact,” said Inn-mate player Dave . “Last year we were 2-7 and didn’t really have a quar- terback.

Wednesday, September 21, 1994 Selects make a drive for WKSL pl It has not been an easy season for the intrepid players of the Castlegar Selects soccer club. They have won their fair share but they have also suffered some heart breaking defeats. The start of the second half of the season was supposed to bring a renewed spirit of opti- mism but instead it has brought a load of injuries. Going in to last weekend's play, the Selects had a tenuous hold on the final playoff spot in the West Kootenay Soccer League. Since the second half of the season resumed on August 21, the Selects had won one and then lost two straight. The first game was against powerful Nelson Heritage and the Selects posted an impressive and easy 40 victory. But then they seemed to lose their optimism and games as well, losing to Nel- son Savoy and Rossland. Those losses set up a critical game at the Castlegar Recreation Complex last Sunday as the Selects took on a rough Nakusp squad. Nakusp is chasing the game seemed to promise an entertaining game as the Selects went up 2-0. Unfortunately things tumed ugly too quickly. Referee Carlos Amaral kept his penalty cards handy all game and he was not shy to use them early as he sent Evo Amaral packing midway through the first half. Four more red cards and at least seven yellow ones followed. “We were told the cards would be out at the beginning of the game and they were,” said Selects player Herb Amaral. “It was a zero tolerance game and that’s probably the way it should have been.” soccer,” continued it turned into bush soccer. Both teams couldn't keep their cool.” When the dust settled, the score was 2-2 and both teams were forced to go home with a tie and one point. “These games coming up [ver- sus Nelson Savoy and then Nakusp again] are very impor- tant,” said Amaral. “We have to at least win one of them to make the playoffs. Then we will have the chance to rest some of our injuries and get key guys back.” Injuries have been a problem for the Selects who have been missing at least five players every KaBaTorrF's BUILT-IN VACUUM SYSTEMS + NO Bags to buy + NO Fitters to clean + 4.1 peak horse power + 140° water litt + 10-year motor warranty $ ral wine HAND TOOLS (Other models available) 365-5087 the ayoffs game. Also, some players who have gotten hurt rushed back into the lineup and ended up re-injur- ing themselves. The combination has led to a shortage of players. In fact, the Selects are putting out a call'to anyone who can lace up a pair of cleats. A team will take to the Castle- gar Complex field this Sunday at 2 p.m. to take on Nelson Savoy and there is still a little optimism. “They're weak and we can beat them,” said Amaral. “They have a lot of young guys who are inexperienced. Whenever we've played them in the past, we've never had a good solid team together. We probably have the best team in the league when all our players show up and we're clicking.” Hopefully the spectators will be able to hear that click this Sunday at the Complex field.
