The Argyle Pipers and Bodwell Bruins both punched their tickets to the provincial soccer championships with emphatic playoff wins this week.

At the AAA level Argyle topped Burnaby North 4-1 in zone playoff action while the AA Bruins blasted Cariboo Hill 6-0 to earn their provincial berths. The Bruins and Pipers have one more piece of business to attend to before heading to provincials as they will play in the North Shore trophy game Tuesday starting at 3:30 p.m. at Sutherland turf field.

Two others North Shore teams scored important wins recently as the Sentinel Spartans knocked off West Vancouver and Burnaby South in AAA playoff action and the Sutherland Sabres took care of Windsor at the AA level. Both Sentinel and Sutherland are playing do-or-die playoff matchups against Burnaby teams today.
