By The Nelson Daily Sports
The Nelson Selects secured a berth in the Les Sinnott Memorial U15 Boys Provincial Cup by blasting Columbia Valley 5-0 in Kootenay Soccer Playoff action last week in Cranbrook.
The Selects advance to the provincial tournament July 7-10 in West Vancouver.
With the backline of Jesse Harold, Kiefer Barclay, Iyra Cristofoli-Couling and Brett Anderson keeping the Columbia Valley offence under control, the Nelson strikers had a field day with Moss Caney leading the attack with three goals.
Josh Sookorukoff and team captain Max Spielman added singles to close out the scoring for the Selects.
Midfielders Jaiah Lotus and Matthew Wouter dominated the pitch to feed many great passes through to the strikers.
Keeper Ryder Marzicola was solid between the pipes to secure the clean sheet.
Nelson advanced to the Kootenay Final by sweeping Kootenay South in a two-game, total goal series.
The Select outlasted Kootenay South 5-4 in Nelson before thumping the West Kootenay rivals 5-0 in Trail.
Coaches for the Selects are Tony Marzicola and Grant Anderson while Jodi Wouters is the manager.
