Highlanders FC USL PDL | artsy images for the blokes by Randy

An engaging match featuring attacking styles by both squads last night. Two supporters sections banging drums and keeping the beat to the game made for an electric evening. The score ended up even also at 2:2. Thank you Victoria Highlanders FC and Lane United FC for the entertainment.

Home opener for the lads Victoria Highlanders FC at new digs, UVic's Centennial Stadium. Not the result we'd hope for in return to USL/PSL standard. But great to see old faces and new on the pitch and in the stands. ....these images are time exposures (6sec-10sec range) with an infrared mounted filter. Not sports photography.... but yeah, best captured during stoppages in play. Lots of motion prior to restarts!

Congrats to this guy (keeper coach, Bob Stankov). Became a proud pop with birth of first child, a daughter. She's a beautiful keeper.

....those who follow me on Instagram will know of my experimental landscapes I have been photographing the past year and a bit. These are infrared, long exposure monochromes photographed May 2, 2015 with the lads vs. Kamloops in PCSL action. I hope to see you all at Highlanders USLPDL matches this season up at UVic.

Highlanders Done July 8, 2012

after the Highlanders, the Sea Wolves has the greatest name in the PDL. The local lads did us proud with a superb 1:0 victory. Jordie earning a little spending money from pops with the early second half goal. The boys were on for 5-6 goals were it not for the stellar play of the 18 year old Sea Wolves keeper. A great final home game win... Simonsen keeps his job ;)

Keeping It Real... The Lakeside Buoys reveal the Juan de Fuca Plate in all it's splendid glory. Truth be known... Victoria is the best place on the planet to be a football fanatic.

An entertaining match played out at Royal Athletic Park on Saturday night in view of 1,078 fans. Gorman Thomas scored a ripper of a volley that was celebrated the proper way. The lead could not be held with the final knotted with the Portland Kindling at 1:1. What a frenetic pace at the end too. Exciting brand of soccer that bodes well for the future.
