Tirecraft improved to 2-4, while Turn-Key dipped to 3-3 in the North Okanagan Soccer League.

Tirecraft were down 1-0 at the half with Johnny Colovos replying for Turn-Key on a free kick that turned into a scramble‎. Jordan Vandermeulen started his first game in goal, making a few nice stops to keep Tirecraft off the score sheet until late in the game.

“Our guys got tired on the hot evening and started making turnovers and Peters capitalized twice to win the game,” said Turn-Key veteran Nathan Tucker.

Tirecraft upped their game in the second half and tied it on a great header by Kyle Richardson after a perfect cross from Kenzel Aarts-Roman that the keeper couldn’t quite keep from going across the line.

Maintaining pressure, Aarts-Roman broke through on a fantastic feed from Brock Reim to score the winner. The Longhorn Man of the Match was Aarts-Roman.
