Winkler Times — The Winkler Storm made it three in a row Aug. 11 when they blanked the Britannia Rovers 2-0 in Winnipeg.
After missing out on a number of chances to score in the first half, the Storm put the game away with second half goals Jeremy Hamm and Rineildo Oliveria scored back-to-back goals.
“Basically, our defence didn’t give up any chances,” said Storm coach Henry Enns. “We played our best game.”
The three win streak began with wins over Scotia United and Polonia S.C.
As of August 14, the Storm were still in first place in the Manitoba Major Soccer League’s First Division with a 9-4-1 record. Second place NKMB took home a scoreless tie against visiting Polonia S.C. on August 11 to bring their record to 7-3-4. Polonia is in third with 7-4-3, while Britannia’s loss dropped them to fifth place behind the Spitfire.
The Storm finished off the home season Wednesday night against Spitfire F.C. Game results were not available at press time. They will conclude their regular season against NKMB on August 30.
