Kapa‘a Warriors open season with win

LIHU‘E — A late-game goal by Gabriel Sifuentes put the Kapa‘a Warriors up 4-3 over the GIFC in the Boys Under 12 division of the Kaua‘i Soccer Association Saturday.

Earlier, a Robert Bartolo goal in the first half put the Warriors up 1-0 at the half, but GIFC responded with goals fromEzekiel Bagano and a pair of nets from Bryson Miles to stalemate the match.

Sifuentes and Bartolo each netted two goals in the win.

KSA opened its spring season with 15 games at the North Vidinha soccer fields.

Kevin Devitt, the KSA commissioner, said there are almost four dozen teams ranging in age groups from 8 years old through 18 years.

“We thought we could play all the games on Saturday, but I guess with this many teams, the older kids will probably be playing on Sundays,” Devitt said.

The largest group are the Girls Under 10 division where there are seven teams on the roster.

 The Boys Under 10 have six teams, but with just one Boys Under 9 team on the roster, the Westside Falcons BU9 squad will be grouped with the Under 10s.

Six Girls Under 12  teams is another large group, and the inclusion of Lokahi, a Girls Under 11 team, in the grouping gives that field seven teams as well.

The public is invited to view the competition each Saturday when teams square off at the North Vidinha fields starting at 8 a.m.
