CBFC U15AA BOYS ARE NOVA SCOTIA CHAMPS

Aug. 25, 2024

CAPE BRETON FC U15AA Boys were crowned Soccer Nova Scotia Provincial champions on Sunday as they edged out Final rivals Storm 6-5 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

The island boys had to show courage to fight back from a goal behind at Mainland Commons in Halifax and Felipe Caicedo hauled them back into the match with a crucial equaliser.

CAPERS had already come through a shoot-out on the Saturday to defeat United DFC after keeper Charles Horne made a vital stop following a 4-4 tie and so it proved it again as the #ForeverOrange no.1 saved a spot-kick from his opposite GK.

That left CBFC 2024 Team of the Year centre-half Ryan MacQueen with the decisive kick and he buried it to bring the banner back to Cape Breton.
