Celebrating in championship
style, the Iere Sports Club
shared its moment of glory
with a soccer success story
this past season in the
Toronto and District League,
Iere triumphed in the first
division and will advance
into the premier division in
the 1985 schedule.
Members of the team were
awarded commemorative
trophies, and were
congratulated by the club’s
supporters at the banquet.
Soccer is our raisond’etre,
and last year we enjoyed a
successful season” said Iere
club President Wilbur Wright
in congratulating the players
on their winning
performance.
Going into its 16th season in
T&D the Iere team is
preparing for a stiffer
competition expected in the
top division. Accordingly
Wright encouraged the 1984
champs to continue to shoot
for the top in 1985.
“We cannot sit back on our
laurels. Let’s sustain our
momentum. If we reach for
the stars, we won’t fall far”
the club president said.
Stars of the Iere team were
also highlighted during the
ceremonies, and awarded
special trophies for
outstanding performances.
The main player mastermind-
ing the Iere attack, Aldwyn
McGill, scored 28 goals in the
22-game schedule. Besides
earning the club’s Most Goals
trophy, the fleet footed
forward was also honored as
Iere’s Most Valuable to go
with the Toronto & District
Soccer League Player of the
Year award.
“It was a team effort’ McGill
said modestly. “We were
always together.”
McGill, until recently was the
president of the Toronto
Caribbean Soccer League
and captain of the defunct
Players team, was also
similarly honored by the
TCSL for his 1984 efforts.
Before joining Iere team,
McGill played with the Colts
Sports Club in the first
division of the Port of Spain
football league in Trinidad
and Tobago.
“It comes second only to my
excitement when I was called
to be a member of the
national squad in Trinidad”
he added .

Two of this city’s top West
Indian teams will advance to
the Premier Division next year.
Iere and Magic finished first
and second in this years’
Toronto and District First

concluded.
Iere was out to win the
division outset, having missed
promotion last year in a
controversy. Midway through
the season they were
unbeaten and realized they
could go for an unbeaten
record. But on Oct. 2 their
string was broken when they
lost a controversial 1-0
decision to Hellas at St Clair
Stadium. Their final record
stands at 20 wins, 1 tie, 1 loss,
57 goals for and 15 goals
against for a total of 41 points
in 22 games played.
Magic needed to win their last
game against West Indies
United to assure themselves
of 2nd spot, and went out and
won 1-0. They scored the
most goals in their division
(63). Their record is 15 wins, 4
ties, 3 loses, and 19 goals
against for a total of 34 points
