McArthur Island open for business for provincial soccer and KIBT
KAMLOOPS — All is a go for a big sports weekend at McArthur Island.
Rain on the Canada Day weekend forced the closure of all fields — soccer and baseball earlier
this week.
But things have dried out the last two days.
“The city just inspected all the fields at McArthur Island this morning.” says city Parks and Civic Facilities Manager Jeff Putman, “Up until today we know that Norbrock Stadium was closed, as well as all the soccer fields — but I’m really happy to report that as of right now everything on McArthur Island will be open going forward —- which means we are going to have a fantastic KIBT baseball event and we’re going to have a fantastic provincial soccer event.”
Kamloops Youth Soccer is hosting the girls Provincial B Cup tournament involving 48 teams which have qualified through the eight regions of B.C. Soccer for provincial championships.
KYSA has team in five of the six divisions.
