The CBS Metro Strikers recently captured the BU16 Metro League Championship with a 2 - 1 win over the St. John's BU14"A" team. Mitch King put the Strikers up 1 - 0 with a beautiful header early in the second half. St. John's tied the game with 10 minutes to go on a penalty kick. The championship game appeared to be headed to overtime, until Ian Martin gathered a nice pass inside the penalty area and placed a low shot to the back of the net. One minute later the celebration was on. CBS keeper, Jordan Berniquez made several great saves during the game to help the Strikers to the win.

Members of the Championship team are:

Trevor Fleming, Ian Martin, Jordan Berniquez, Mitch King, Brady Reid, Adam Scott, David Haines, Geoff Campbell, Josh Cole, Evan Slaney, Shane Tobin, Ryan Power, Zach Hynes, Ryan Baker, Josh Horwood, Mitch Smith, Mark Richards, Josh Cole, Justin Broderick, Keegan Lewis, Mike Stone.

I would like to take this opportunity to Thank all Players and Parents for their continued support. The hardest part of Coaching is the selection of Players I hope all Players remain focused and keep working hard. I know that next year is going to be an excellent year for the CBSSA and in particular the BU-14 age group with such good talent.
