As the Girls were playing the 15s Boys had a tough opener against top NB side Codiac and eventually fell to a 3-0 defeat with keeper Charles Horne in outstanding form again.

The evening action on Day One for CAPERS was rounded off by the 17s Boys battling to a 0-0 tie with the hosts CS Dieppe in the U18s bracket.

All three teams are back in round-robin action today (Saturday) as they bid to win a place in Sunday's medal games.
