Yara Centre’s outdoor fields will host the 4A boys provincial soccer championships this weekend.

Central will host the four team tournament this weekend to determine 4A boys supremacy. 

Regionals to qualify for provincials took place last weekend. The Peacock team coached by Jordan Jeffery lost their quarter-final game against Yorkton Regional 5-3 in the boys 5A regional tournament played in Yorkton last Friday. The Central boys, last year’s provincial silver medal winners, coached by Jason Brown and Ray Rawlyk played in the 4A boys regional competition, but lost to Regina Luther 3-2 in their regional semi final.

Central will play a provincial semifinal at the outdoor field beside the Yara Centre at 2 p.m. against Se Se Wa Hum boys today. The winner will face the winner of Luther or Humboldt on Saturday at 2 p.m. in the final.

In the girls side, Peacock, Vanier and Central all competed at regionals in Regina for a chance to make it to provincials. Peacock’s first game ended scorless, and after penalty kicks, it was Yorkton moving on to the semi final against Central who were silver medalists at last year’s provincials. The Cyclones won 1-0 over Yorkton Sacred Heart.

The Vanier Spirits won their regional quarter final game against Regina Luther 4-3 and then won a semifinal against Notre Dame 3-0. Vanier and Central then played the regional final, which was settled with penalties. Vanier won penalties 5-4 and will now appear in 4A Girls Provincials in Yorkton this weekend. Vanier girls coached by Daniel Atkins, will be making their third straight appearance at provincials. They will face Martensville in a semi final at 2 p.m. in Yorkton tomorrow.

The winner will play in the gold medal game at 2 p.m. Saturday against the winner of Se Se Wa Hum and host Yorkton Sacred Heart.
