Winkler Storm added a 1-1 tie to their record


Winkler Times — After 6 wins and 2 losses, the Winkler Storm added a 1-1 tie to their record after a game against the Britannia Rovers July 6.
The one point gave the Storm a first division best 19 points, one clear of the NKMB Saints and Lusitania as of Tuesday. The Rovers have 17 points.
Tight defence and sharp goalkeeping kept the game scoreless during the first half, but the Storm drew first blood in the second half. Jacob Lepp scored on a penalty kick after Nico Nickel was taken down by the Rovers’ goalkeeper in the penalty box. The lead was short-lived, however as Britannia responded with the game-tying goal about a minute later.
The Storm return to action on July 17 at 7:30 p.m. when they play a home game versus the NKMB Saints. They follow that with another home game against Polonia S.C. on July 25.
