Rainmaker Boys Vancouver bound this weekend for Tournament play next week



The final tune ups are all but done for the Charles Hays Boys Soccer team, with the Rainmaker squad heading to Vancouver on Sunday, ready to take on the best in British Columbia in the Provincial AA Soccer Championship finals.

The Charles Hays squad punched their ticket to Vancouver last month with success at the NorthWest Zones in Kitimat, since coming back to Prince Rupert with the banner the team has been raising funds for their trip south, all while they continued on with their workouts to keep in game shape for the challenges ahead.

The Charles Hays Rainmakers look to add to their banner collection next week
