Selkirk Journal — Soccer season is over for both of Selkirk’s mens teams as they come up just short in divisional playdowns.
The Tri-S Div. 2 team managed a quarter round 3-2 shootout win over the Kildonan Cavaliers Sept. 23 but could move no closer to the championship match as they lost in the semis to Spitfire F.C. 2-0 on Sept. 25.
With Spitfire the only team Selkirk was unable to topple this year, the local club appeared due for a win as they held the Winnipeg team in check. The game was 1-0 until the final minutes when a second goal ended Selkirk’s hopes.
Ivar Helgasson scored twice in the Kildonan game with goalie Kyle Swystun adding the winner in a shootout.
Selkirk finished the regular season in third with a 11-8-3 record.
The Tri-S Div. 5 team likewise finished in third with a 14-6-4 record but were dumped in the quarterfinals by sixth place Granite United 1-0 as the vaunted Selkirk offence was held pointless.
With their finish, the Div. 5 club is expected to move up to Div. 4 next season.
