By Caps Press Services; Victoria, Sun October 4, 2009 9:33 PMThe Victoria Capitals were visiting the three-time provincial champions Semiahmoo Thunder at the South Surrey Athletic Park turf field this weekend. The Capitals knew Semiahmoo would be a tough, fast passing team and they would have to play a strong team game to do well. The Capitals took it to Semiahmoo immediately with a high work rate and well-disciplined two-way game. The Caps game shape and discipline to it, and the players trust in each other worked well for them throughout the game giving up only a couple of shots with some nice forays into the Semiahmoo third. With a 1-0 lead at half-time, they came out in the second half and broke Semiahmoo’s spirit with a quick goal 1 minute into the second half. This was definitely their strongest showing to date.
The Caps victory, brings two quote to mind...
"Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work"
Vince Lombardi – Football Great
"When a gifted team dedicates itself to unselfish trust and combines instinct with boldness and effort, it is ready to climb.”
Pat Riley
The Capitals wish the Semiahmoo Thunder great luck at the National Championships this week.
