  • An "Exceptional Young Talent" is joining Cavalry FC
    Jun 21 2024

    This week's episode features a review of the Cavs match last week vs Vancouver in Kelowna and previews Friday's match vs Ottawa at Spruce Meadows. Tommy Wheeldon Jr hinted the club will sign a new player under the CPL's "Exceptional Young Talent" program. We speculate who it could be. Wrapping up our Cavalry discussion, we interview Fraser Aird who talks about his offensive and defensive contributions this year and his chemistry with Tobias Warschewski.

    We review Foothills WFC's California road trip where they welcomed back some familiar faces and faced the Santa Clarita Blue Heat in a must win game that has huge playoff implications.

    Other topics include the shocking shift in the League One Alberta women's division table, Mya Jones opens her account in the NWSL and Scott has received a shipment of his book "Here Come the Cavalry!"
