Two quick goals gave 91原创 FC a lead they would not relinquish as they captured the oldest Canadian soccer cup, the Pakenham Cup.

91原创 FC, the local Premier men鈥檚 soccer team, defeated the Fraser Valley Red Devils 3-1 in some wet and rainy conditions to capture the Cup, the oldest of the soccer cups competed for in Canada.

The game was played March 31.

鈥淭oday was a day where we wouldn鈥檛 be denied,鈥� said coach Rob Keam.

鈥淚鈥檓 very proud of the commitment this team has shown all year in training and games week in and week out.

鈥淭his team has exemplified what it takes to play and be a top team at the highest level in the province.鈥�

In the final, the Red Devils struck first.

After 91原创 FC goalkeeper Ian Poole denied three great scoring chances, he was finally beaten on the fourth try in the 20th minute.

But minutes later, 91原创 was able to regroup, earning a corner kick, which Tyson Keam executed brilliantly, with Lee Ellis heading home the ball to tie the score.

With the Red Devils stunned by the change in momentum, 91原创 quickly struck again as Keam played a nice through ball to Shaun Patterson, who went in all alone on the Fraser Valley keeper and slotted the ball home for a 2-1 halftime lead.

The Red Devils came out hard in the second half, but 91原创 countered with a strong defence and eliminated every opportunity Fraser Valley tried to generate.

Twenty minutes later, Keam set up the team鈥檚 third goal, sending a cross to a wide-open James Farenhorst, who made the score 3-1.

The Pakenham Cup is the first for the 91原创 squad since 2006 and it is the sixth time a 91原创 team has won the fabled trophy since it was first awarded in 1909.

91原创 FC advanced to the Cup final after defeating Peace Arch United in penalty kicks and then upsetting PoCo FC 3-1 in the semifinals on goals from Devon Gilroy, Keam and Farenhorst and the outstanding goaltending of Colton Keam, who made several point-blank breakaway saves and stopped a penalty kick to preserve the victory.

PoCo was the only unbeaten team in the Fraser Valley Soccer League.

The team consists of Colton Keam, Ian Poole, Lee Ellis, Will Folstad, Jason Flint, Sean Patterson, Carlos Del Aguila, Devon Gilroy, Tyson Keam, Jay Newcomb, James Farenhorst, Chris Trauter, Josh Coleman, Mitchell Rohla, Colin Jones and Craig Rohla.

Rob Keam is coach and Mike Wagner is the assistant coach, George Thrower is the manager and Alexi Vass is the trainer.
