The Niverville Rush boys soccer team has been busy practicing all summer in preparation for the playoffs. The team qualified in the spring, and have been sitting tight for their chance to make good. They will enter the playoff as one of the top seeds.
The Rush will face four playoff games in September, two which will be home games in Niverville’s Hespeler Park. The first match is scheduled for Tuesday, September 5. They’ll play again a couple of days later on Thursday, September 7. Both games run from 5:30 through 7:30 p.m.
The Rush are competing for the first time this year in the Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association (WYSA). The move has exposed them to a higher level of competition, to which they have so far responded with great success. The team completed the regular season with eight wins, two losses, and two ties. In total, they scored 42 goals and were scored against just 15 times thanks to a tight defence and strong goalkeeping.
