And then there were 4............
Games on tap for tonight as the McGavin Cup gets into the 1/4 Final stages this weekend.
One of the oldest original trophies in the VISL trophy case, the Andrew McGavin Cup was first played for in 1933/1934, with the Saanich Thistles hoisting the sterling silver cup. The full listing of winner for this trophy, and others, can be found on the website under the Trophies Header.

VISL Teams;
Last call for interested teams for the Andrew McGavin Cup tournament.
Currently 7 teams confirmed; only 1 team from Div 1, 1 from Div 2, a couple from Div 3, and 1 each from Div 4, 5, and U21. $150.00 to enter the exhibition tournament that is opened up to all teams except the top 4 teams from Div 1 last year. Draw to take place on Thursday August 8. First games to take place the weekend of August 16-18.
-Season Start is fast approaching. Invoice payments sent to teams are due Friday August 9.
A reminder that all teams that have youth players MUST complete the Respect in Sport education that has been mandated by BC Soccer. The bottom of page 2 gives pretty clear direction. (see link below)
If the certificate of completion is not submitted to the league, youth players cannot participate in the VISL. This must be completed by team admin who will be in the coaching area and involved with the team.
-We would like to get the playing schedules confirmed and out to all concerned.
Please ensure your home days, fields and times are organized with your Club and / or community.
Teams facing out of town teams - certain restrictions apply. Victoria cannot host a game vs Campbell River (and vice versa) on a Friday night - so make sure you have a weekend spot available. Again, we are trying to avoid the later in the day/evening start times - keeping teams as safe as possible.
Any questions, feel free to reach out.

Euro's are 1 sleep away, and Germany will be hopping !
Will the defending champs be a threat ?
If you are unable to be in Germany, the next best place to watch the matches - at the Wicket.
Lots of 12 noon games to take in.
Great location at 919 Douglas, with many beverages and menu items.
We suggest pairing a Heineken with anything. :)
See you in the Games Room.

Adjournment
The VISL is sad to share the news of a fine young man leaving us too soon.
Cardin has a special place in many VISL hearts; particularly teams within Castaways, Saanich Fusion, and his hometown of Saltspring Island. Condolences to his family as well as mates on the pitch.
The Celebration of Life on Sat May 11 at GISS at 11 am will be a great opportunity to remember him.
