Sporting an 8-1 season record last fali, O'Connor went on te defeat Ajax in the LOSSA finals and Father Persani in the DYSSAA finals te advance te tbis year's OFSSA finals. DO'C soccer coach Jim Boyd expects is team te- place -witbin the top four, eut of a total cf 18 teams participating in tbe competition. "The boys are aIl in excellent condition," says Boyd. "If we play well our chances are good." He sees the long pericd that bias elapsed since the team last played as tbe only weakness. 4>"To get it tegether after five montbs is pretty teugb," says Bcyd, adding that "Many cf the players belong te otber clubs tbat mnay bave better coaching and training and by using our systemn it could be tougb te, get the guys te play together effectively." In preparation for OFSSA, the \team bas played six exhibition gmsthis spring, and was te, \lay~ fin al exhibition xnatcb on ïondéy before leaving - for Sükýbury.

Boyd expects the stiffest cempetitien te come from the Neill.McNeill squad from Scabooublast yers OFSSA champions. I think the further our team goes, tbe better our chances are. Se if we play a weaker teamn for ourfirst game, it will help the team a lot," says Boyd. As for on next year s soccer team, Boyd says "Most cf the seniors will be remaining and we bave some 'excellent juniors ceming up. We'll have a strong squad fer next season." Heéaney, whe tried eut for Canada's under-19 team, and Paul Pescbiselido, a ffember of that national team,,will Iead the O'Connor team.
