FC clips ’Caps Rain of near Biblical proportions cascaded down on Willoughby Tuesday evening, but that didn’t stop the Gold Key Langley Athletic FC Super 20 and Vancouver Whitecaps prospects teams from battling to the final whistle. While the men’s soccer match was considered an exhibition friendly, the pace at Willoughby Turf was intense, despite Mother Nature’s best efforts at a wash-out. In the end, the hosts came away with a 3-2 victory, powered by a pair of first-half goals from Jordan Marini and a second-half tally from Jerome Lou.
••• On Sunday, Langley travelled to Lacey Wash., where it blanked Thurston County Premier 5-0. Lou, Carlos de Aguila, and a secondhalf hat trick from substitute Nate Turner provided the offence. ••• Langley Athletic FC provides top class soccer for boys leaving the youth system.

The Langley Thunder faced some of the best peewee A1 lacrosse teams in the province last weekend at the Trevor Wingrove Memorial tournament in Coquitlam. In its Friday opener, Langley ran into penalty trouble against Port Moody, taking eight minor penalties in the opening frame. The Thunder recovered to tie the score at 5-5 near the end of the second period. Port Moody went on to score seven unanswered goals to win 12-5. Spencer Mitchell was awarded the Thunder’s game star for his gritty play. Langley then faced the Saanich Tigers in its Friday night contest. The teams traded the lead several times during the first two periods before Langley pulled away in the final frame. Hugh Brown scored a hat trick and Caleb Pearson notched two goals and an assist in the Thunder’s 9-4 victory. Cole Radke was awarded Langley’s game star, playing one of his best games of the season. On Saturday afternoon, the Thunder faced the peewee A1 league-leading Ridge Meadows Burrards. The Burrards showed their skill in a 14-1 win.
