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 master-
minding 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 along 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 .
