The VISL Awards night was held on Friday, April 20th at the Portuguese Hall. The evening was well received and enjoyed by all who attended. Congratulations to all the award winners and thank you to all the people who made the night a success.

For the 1st time in a long time, the VISL had a Challenge series for promotion.
3 teams – Peninsula 4A, Lakehill 4B and Castaways 4C – were to play each other in a round robin to see which team will get promoted to Division 3.
Castaways 4C has gained promotion to Division 3 with wins over Peninsula (4-2) and Lakehill (4-1).

Congratulations to Castaways.

Lori at the Soccer office will be able to confirm whether or not a specific player is eligible or not.

Once a player plays for 1 team on permit, he can only play for that team for the remainder of Cup play.

Please ensure forms are filled out properly with the releasing coaches signing where necessary.
