~ Colour forced to defeat sister team as
* Coastal Cup playoffs kick into high gear

The Peninsula Magic Colour
soccer team got off to a flying start
in the B.C. Coastal Cup playoffs
with a 6-0 first-round win over
Harvey’s Sporting Goods, Satur-
day.

Unfortunately, the Division 5A
won its berth to the second round
at the expense of its Division 5B
sister team — Harvey's — which
was the Peninsula’s only other
entry.

Magic Colour coach John
McDonald said the cup game was
far more closely-contested than
the scoreline suggested.

In previous matches between
these two teams the action has
always been very competitive
because of a keen rivalry. This
game was no exception, he said.

Harvey's strategy in the first
half was to try and shut down
Colour’s offence by using close
one-on-one checking on Colour’s
forwards.

“I told each of my boys to stay
with their checks no matter where

they went on or off the field,”
Harvey’s coach Carlos Carvalho
said.

And the plan worked well. Col-
our had possession of the ball for
most of the half but was allowed
few scoring opportunities because
of the close checking, McDonald
Said.

Harvey’s goaltender also made
some excellent saves on the shots
that did get through.

However, about 25 minutes into
the game, Colour’s left winger
Chris McDonald finally found
enough space to make a break up
the win and fire a pinpoint cross

into the centre.

It was met by Mason Walker,
who blasted off a quick shot that
right winger Darrell Underwood
deflected into the net.

Harvey’s pressed hard after this
goal. The feisty players pressed
hard, looking for the equalizer for
about five minutes, but they
couldn’t provide any clear shots
on goal.

Magic Colour soccer player Chris Gray is watched by

serching for a common ground, he

said.
A drama theme will be used in

the learning process to make it a
fun activity, Scott added.

Dealing: with conflict while the
children are still quite young is
important in that behavior pat-
terns, beliefs and attitudes are not
ingrained at this stage, he said.

“Younger kids are more open to
new ideas than teenagers are. At
five to ten years of age, their
primary influence is still the fam-
ily,.” he said.

If differences can be solved at
this tender age, then the lines of
communication will likely stay
open even as children develop into
teenagers, he said.

“The language and the issues
will change as they get older but
the process of communication

won’t.””

One of Scott’s big hopes is that
ACT will work as preventative
medicine to avert future conflicts
that tend to be much greater when
parents and teenagers have a fall-
ing Out.

“Kads sometimes feel powerless
at a young age but as teenagers
they often rebel and say “You can’t
make me do that’,” he said.

What ACT training boils down
to is learning to influence loved
ones with “principled negotiation
skills,” he said.

A little effort on the part of both
parents and their children can help
form a lifelong bond of caring and
understanding, he said. _

The first class of the 12-session
program will begin on Feb: 5 for
the eight to ten year olds and it
will run from 6:45 p.m. to 8:45
p.m. at the Deep Cove Elementary
School.

The inaugural session for the
five to seven year olds will start on
Feb. 7, running from 6:15 p.m. to
8:15 p.m. at the Sidney Elemen-
tary School.

Registration is open to all Penin-
sula residents and costs $45 per
family, regardless of how large the
family is.

However, no one will be tumed
away if they cannot afford the fee,
Scott said.

For more information, call Scott
or Venables between 8:30 a.m. and
4:30 p.m. on week days at 656-
0134.

In the second half, Harvey’s
tired and Magic Colour took
charge of the game by shifting into
overdrive and scoring five unan-
swered goals, McDonald said.

The first two goals carned
Underwood his hat trick, though
much of the work in setting up the
goals came from passing plays by
Jon Goulet, Shaun Kingerlee and
Walker.

Singles were scored by Gus
Morris, Walker and Bill Farrant.

Instrumental in setting up these
goals were midfielders Bryan Ter-
rell and Lee Dryden, McDonald
and fullback Jay Loveridge.

Colour’s next league fixture will
be played away from home on
Saturday, while the team’s next
Coastal Cup playoff game will be
at Lochside Park on Feb. 9 against
league-leader the Cordova Bay
Hawks.

Last year Colour beat the Hawks
1-0 in a very close game to go on
to the Lower Island finals.

TheReview

The Parkland Panthers senior
boys’ basketball team suffered a
hear-wrenching 57-54 loss to
Esquimalt in a game that was
decided by the last basket, Jan. 21.

Panthers coach Joe Milligan said
his players turned in a strong
come-from-behind performance
but the clock ran out before they
could tip the scales in their favor

Parkland was caught off guard
early on by an Esquimalt team that
“came out flying,”
early first quarter 19-4 lead.

“They pressed us from the start
and we had some throwaways that
cost us in the first five minutes,”
he said.

But the Panthers didn’t take long
to regroup and mount a rallying
comeback, which saw them reduce
the deficit to only four points with

Panthers’ clock runs out

the score 34-30 at the half.

The powerful offence of the
Esquimalt team was held in check
for much of the- game and Parkland
had the offensive edge as the
Sidney team grew from strength to
strength.

But the Panthers weren’t able to
close the gap fast enough and a
crucial opportunity to tie the game
with 20 seconds left came to
nothing. -

“We played a good game and
did well to keep Esquimalt’s score
down,” Milligan said.

“But we have to learn to play

“hard for all four quarters and not

just for three. That mistake cost us.
We really didn’t deserve to lose.”

Leading Parkland’s scoring was
Justin Gayler who netted 20
points.
