Fryatt, Chairman Alex Kemp, Secretary AK/ 25/5/1986 - 8 - BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCCER ASSOCIATION CHAIRMAN'S REPORT A number of significant events have taken place in the soccer world since our last annual general meeting. Canada's participation in the World Cup Finals in Mexico for the first time was a historical occasion. Canada surprised the skeptics who predicted the team would be "run out of the park". The team performed well and included the following eleven players who learned their soccer in British Columbia ... Paul Dolan, Bruce Wilson, Randy Samuel, Bob Lenarduzzi, Ian Bridge, Randy Ragan, Dale Mitchell, Jamie Lowery, George Pakos, Mike Sweeney and David Norman. Coincidentally, when Canada entered the.World Cup for the first time in 1957, playing games against the USA and Mexico in the qualifying rounds leading to the World Cup Finals in Sweden in 1958, that team also included eleven players from British Columbia. They were Ken Pears, Dave Stothard, Roy "Buster" Cairns, Doug Greig, Pat Philley, Jack Steele, Gordon Ion, Brian Philley, Art Hughes, Gordon "Gogie" Stewart and Norman McLeod. Canada's Pan American team were winners over Bermuda by identical 1-0 scores in home and away games played in April and will now take part in the Pan American Games scheduled for Indianapolis in August this year. The Under 20 Canadian team won the CONCACAF Youth Tournament, held in Trinidad-Tobago last August, without a loss. Ten countries participated in the event. Canada played seven games in all, winning six and tying one with the USA, scoring 23 goals with only 2 against. Canada and the USA qualified for the FIFA Under 20 World Finals to be held in Chile in October this year. It is interesting to note that the Under 20 team played two exhibition games in April against Chile ... winning 2-1 in Toronto and tying 1-1 in Hamilton, Ontario. In July this year Canada will host the second FIFA Under 16 World Youth Tournament in Toronto; Montreal; St.
