They have not been part of the VISL for years - we have only had the 1 PR team as part of our League. The last couple years, the North Island Masters put a League together and were affiliated with BC Soccer. They asked to be part of our Masters Cup. I, others, and the Board also liked the idea and it was possible because they were BC Soccer members - so they played in our Tony Grover Cup. Much to my surprise, and I believe to the PR guys this year, the North Island Masters League decided not to become affiliated with BC Soccer. Because of that, we the VISL could not have individual teams just play in our Cup unless they were full members of our League. The PR guys were p**sed, but after I filled them in on the rules, they were not p**sed with the VISL as they understood our hands are tied. There is a ton of hoops to jump through in putting a League together. The rules you see as a team within our League are magnified even more when it comes to being part of BC Soccer. I am not saying they are not just rules or there for the right rules, but it is a bit on the governed side ....but we choose to be part of it.....and there is some worth in it as it is organized soccer, not just Intramurals. So maybe next year they will be affiliated again ? Up to the teams up island. I and the Board are still supportive of the teams playing in our Cup.....until the members tell us differently.

Cheers, thanks for the clarification. Hopefully the North Island Masters sort it out. Would be nice to have that all in place for down the road as opposed to having to re-build...again

I have no problem with that list except one. Gary Smith should be before Shel won more cups and played longer than Shel by quite a bit
