EDC FC Burnaby falls in Cup finals

Premier and under-21 teams both lose one-goal games to West Van FC

It was an unpleasant Saturday on a number of fronts.

Not only was the weather characteristically uncooperative, but the decisions EDC FC Burnaby was looking for in both Imperial and under-21 Cup finals also failed to materialize.

The premier men lost 1-0 to Vancouver Metro Soccer League regular season leader West Van FC in the Imperial Cup final at Trillium Park East on Saturday, while the Burnaby-based club’s grad team also fell to West Van 3-2 in overtime earlier in the day.

“The men’s game … could have gone either way, (West Van) really only had one clear chance and scored in the second half,” said EDC coach Claudio Ramirez.

EDC had two glorious chances at goal, but the West Van keeper was stellar on both attempts, Ramirez added.

“We pressed the last 25 minutes hard, but they were solid in the back. It was a great run for our club,” Ramirez said.

In other results, Guildford FC clobbered Twin Arrows 5-0 to take the Div. 2 Cup final.
