Rino's Westside "A" Soccer Club

It's been four years since a BC team took home the Men's Amateur title
from the National Championships and the team that did it then is the same team
that will be trying again this year: Rino's Westside. The 99/00 season saw Westside pull off a feat that's never been done in BC soccer. The win over Metro Ford, last year's champions, in the Provincial Cup, meant that Westside were not only Provincial Champions but also Imperial Cup Champions and Vancouver Metro Soccer League PremierChampions. It was a treble that had never been achieved before. Here's the squad :
 Keepers:
 Mike Wickens: Wicksy's always there with the Go Go Gadget extendable arms snaring crosses that would sail over backboards. Mike Moorlag: Some might call Moorlag a physical keeper. Others might say he's a linebacker who was given the wrong directions to practice one day and ended up staying.
Defenders:
 Nicky Alvarado: Intent on bucking the over 30 trend of Westside's back
four, Nicky smoothness on the ball almost makes you forgive him for owning the world's ugliest boots. Martin Best: Glasgow aggro wrapped in versatility with sublime skill as an alibi. Knows more positions than Chasey Lain. Gary Kern: Fancies himself a bit of a Kaiser. As per Westside tradition, likes to play himself out of situations tighter than Stockwell Day's ass. Mike Mosher: Spending his remaining years re-inventing himself as an elegant player content to sling 40 yard balls onto particular blades of grass. James Prescott: Most people are happy to win their share of 50-50s. Jammo goes out of his way to turn 30-70s into 50-50s with speed and malevolence and then win almost all of those as well. Gregor Young: Former legendary leaper now petitioning Visa to make thinner credit cards so sideline hecklers will stop cracks about inability to get over one when going for headers.
Midfielders:
 Boban Aleskic: Remember when people used to say the Yugos where the Brazilians of Europe. This is why. The complete player. Cody Barker-Greene: If Paul Scholes wasn't nearly as good as he is...he'd be a bit like Cody. They're both Ginger midfielders, both get forward and score. Cody still saves his best strikes for training though. Shawn Bobb: Probably has the best goals per touch on the ball ratio in BC soccer history. Doesn't like to waste time. Prefers to warm up with a couple of goals early on. John Chou: Less than half the age of some on the team, JC's composure on the ball belies his age. We just hope he leaves the Pokemon cards at home. Steve Dickinson: Makes defenders very tired. Scary to see how much he keeps improving after only deciding to take the game seriously a few years ago. Markus Felderer: Looking to contribute more than his last shot at Nationals when he got injured the first game and spent the remaining four days figuring out how to work crutches without spilling his beer. Still fast, still wants it. Colin Pettingale: Looking for proof that he's the locomotive that runs the team? Watch for the occasional burst of steam that comes out his ears when he doesn't get the ball after asking for it. Sees more cards than a Hallmark employee. 
Strikers:
Craig Chiasson: Can sniff a Golden Boot award and a Mr. Tube Steak vendor
with equal acumen. Scores goals he has no right to and then exercises his right to tell you about them for years to come. David Griffith: Doesn't seem to matter....dreads, shaven or 'fro Griffy is lightning with and without the ball. Currently keeping Dwight Yorke on his toes as Trinidad national team coaches keep inviting him down for look-sees. Oliver Heald: Some defenders are still spinning from being beaten by him months ago. Consummate lad. Treats opponents like the cow's eye you dissected in Biology 11. Simon Heald: Averages a goal a game and a practice per month. Not bad for a curler.
