In a 0-0 draw this past weekend against the Mid Isle Mariners, Okanagan FCâs offensive masterclass of 29 shots on goal was not enough to earn a victory.
Out-shooting the Mariners by 23 shots, OKFC were looking to continue their two-game winning streak and continue to distance themselves from the three straight losses they had to begin the season.
Coach Andrew Stevenson said itâs important to stay positive despite missing out on the extra points from a win.
âItâs far from doom and gloom, in the last three games we have won two and have a draw in one,â he said.
âWe didnât play badly, but we had a ton of chances to put the ball in the net, and our biggest disappointment was not being able to give the home crowd something to cheer about.â
âIt just wasnât our day.â
