Umbro Challenge Cup - May 18-21 in White Rock

http://challengecup.southfraserfc.com/

Another tournament has popped-up on the soccer calendar, this one in White Rock/South Surrey on Victoria Day weekend.  This is the same weekend as the Kamloops Slurpee Cup and equivalent in terms of hotel and entry fee expenses, but travel time would be significantly better.  I expect the level of opponent should be higher than Kamloops, certainly if more Lower Mainland Metro-Select teams enter. 

A tournament in mid-May is ideal and I suppose Bellingham is only a short-drive away.  South Surrey Athletic Park is one of the premier soccer facilities in the province so that is a plus as well.

Should we go for it?  I'll put a poll up on the blog.

Update on the Upper Island Tournament that I was contacted about and briefly discussed at practice last night.  The tourney is set for Courtenay the weekend of March 30/April 1st - the same weekend as District Cup Finals and (possibly) first round of Coastal Cup.  I think we'll adopt a wait and see on this tourney.  Thoughts?

    If the girls win the League Title, they would not qualify to play in the District Cup. The girls would enter the Semi-Finals of the Coatal Cup April 20/21/22 if they win the Island B-Cup Title.
