Prince George, B.C. - The Prince George Football Club (PGFC) played their hearts out tonight in the first of two exhibition soccer games against the Edmonton Drillers at the CN Centre this weekend. Although the team would fall 8-5, fans were on their feet at the end of the game as they cheered on the local players. The game started off rocky for Prince George as they would score on themselves only minutes into the game. It was obvious Prince George had been practicing together for some time as they passed the ball and worked well together, however The Edmonton Drillers would answer back with their experience as they were first to many of the balls and out shot PGFC.

Organizers of the event were very happy with the attendance of 2140 and the atmosphere of CN Centre.

Sonny Pawar, Assistant Player Coach of PGFC was thrilled with the support and the crowd. “I was a little disappointed with the loss however we just have to regroup for tomorrow’s game, the atmosphere was absolutely amazing.”

Sipho Sibiya, Player Coach was very excited as he stated “this is a dream come true for a lot of these guys, and me too as I have really wanted a franchise here for so long.
