The Shuswap U18 boys travelled to Vernon on Sunday for the final meeting of the year against the Vernon U17s.
As the season progresses, every game is important to ensure home-field advantage in the playdowns.
Shuswap was well-organized from the outset and had two-thirds of the possession in the first half.
Constant pressure and a dose of recently added speed resulted in a 3-0 lead by half time, including a howitzer from an advancing defender as Vernon struggled to clear a corner kick.
In the second half, Vernon attempted to get back into the game with more possession and attack, but in the end it was Shuswap with the only goal. The 4-0 win was the fourth clean sheet in a row for the Shuswap U18s.
The next game for the team is versus Penticton on Sunday, June 2 at 6:30 p.m. at the Blackburn 1 field.
