A football match for the ages

Tomorrow is the big showdown between Gregor Robertson’s Team Vancouver (anchored by the spectacular goaltending of Andrea Reimer) and Portland FC, led by captain Sarah Blyth, whose prowess for the goal at any costs has been aided by years of bumps and bruises in the mean world of skateboarding.

It all goes down at Moberly Field, located at 7646 Prince Albert Street, between 10:30am and 2:00pm.  It should be a good time, if for nothing else to see whether anyone has the guts to get rough with the Mayor, who I hear tends to bring his rugby aggressiveness to the field.

UPDATE: Kurt has just informed me that Turkey will be served for both players and spectators.
