Two United boys teams — U13 (Neale) and U14 (West) — added TOYSL playoff titles to their regular-season championship and will make a bid for a BC Soccer crown at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial Cup in West Vancouver July 7-10.

They were given a bye to the provincial tournament by virtue of being the only team in the Thompson-Okanagan in their age division.

Meanwhile, the BC Soccer Provincial B Cup for girls will be played in Penticton on the same weekend, with five Kelowna United teams vying for the Cup at Kings Park.

Leading the way will be the U15 United girls, who added a TOYSL playoff championship to their regular-season title by defeating Penticton in Sunday’s title match in Penticton.

The U13 United (Lommer) upset regular-season champion Kelowna (V) in the playoff final on Sunday while Kelowna U14 (Smith) downed Shuswap 3-1 in their title match. Ashlyn Eisenkrein, Llaya Joseph and Madison Dyck scored for the United U14s.

While the Kelowna United U16 and U18 girls finished as runner-up in their TOYSL playoffs, U16s will play as hosts at provincials because Penticton doesn’t have a team in that age division. The Kelowna U18s will play as hosts as Penticton won the TOYSL championship.
