Blue Devils Champions in First League1 Season 40 Jon Kuiperij Sports Editor “Connected to your Community” [email protected] Sports Thursday, October 8, 2015 | October 8, Thursday, Blue Devils champions | in rst League1 season It took until their nal game, a 2-0 win Saturday in Brampton over host ProStars FC, for the Oakville Blue Devils to clinch the League1 OAKVILLE BEAVER Ontario men’s soccer championship. To Blue Devils head coach Duncan Wilde, however, much of the league title was earned before the team even began its inaugural sea- son in early May. “We sat down and evaluated how we saw it going, what the re- quirements would be, and we got it right,” Wilde said of prepara- tion for the 2015 campaign. “We had to recruit a powerful squad, one that what we thought at the outset was as close to a (Premier Development League) squad www.insideHALTON.com | www.insideHALTON.com as we could… That really set the foundation.” Wilde saw the writing on the wall. By mid-season, many teams in the league would lose players who had to return to their university and college teams, both in Canada and the United States. A fast start was critical. That’s what the Blue Devils delivered, going undefeated in their rst 12 league games before nally tasting defeat. That rst loss, a 1-0 decision against the Woodbridge Strikers, was followed by an- other 1-0 loss, this time at the hands of the Vaughan Azzurri.

Debuting at their new home of Stewart Burnett Park, the Aurora men found themselves down early to Master's Futbol of Toronto Saturday night when a cross found the back of the net 14 minutes in. Karamvir Mehmi notched his first goal with the Aurora club just a few minutes later, though Aurora found themselves down 2 ? 1 heading into the half. With just twelve minutes to go before stoppage time, Morey Doner put home a pair of back-to-back goals to give Aurora its first lead of the game, though Masters found the 3 ? 3 equalizer before the final whistle. "It's a new field, out first game and I thought they put on a great performance," said Aurora head coach Derek O'Keeffe. "Unfortunate not to win, but credit to the team for getting a point in the first game. It was a good experience out and most of our players tonight are younger, and they held their own." O'Keeffe said he was ?satisfied? with his team's opening performance. "The way we approached the game in terms of our mindset, our attitude, our mentality, was second to none and I just think we need to keep that going and we can be a very competitive team this year." The men return to the pitch at University of Windsor Stadium on Sunday, before returning home to host the Vaughan Azzurri on May 13.

  • Aurora FC Stopped Short by Unbeaten Clubs
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Mon Sep 27 12:23:09 2021 / +0000 GMT Aurora FC stopped short by unbeaten clubs By Jake Courtepatte Both sides of Aurora FC entered week six looking to hand their opponents their first loss of the League1 Ontario season, yet both remained unbeaten when the dust cleared. The men entered Sunday's matchup on the opposite end of the spectrum from their opponent Toronto FC III, still in search of their first win of the season while the Junior Reds enjoyed a three-game winning streak. Aurora head coach Derek O'Keeffe knew his team's best chance at a win was by playing a defensive style of game, allowing Toronto most of the possession in the first half though limiting their chances. Poor luck was the culprit behind Toronto's opening goal at the 23-minute mark, when a mistimed tackle by an Aurora defender took down a Toronto attacker in the box. Goaltender Adam Scanlon guessed wrong on the penalty kick, giving Toronto an early 1 ? 0 lead, though Aurora stormed back thirteen minutes later when team scoring leaders Dylan Rennie and Morey Doner connected to tie the score on their only shot of the half. Surprising Toronto by bringing a 1 ? 1 tie into halftime, the league's top team brought their offense early in the second half, beating Scanlon in close to once again take the lead. Toronto put the game away for good on a tap-in in the 67th minute, while Aurora managed zero shots on net in the latter frame.
