James Sharman and the Footy Prime crew were quite complimentary of everything that went down in Calgary this weekend. Saw them swing by the supporters night near the end but didn't talk to them as I headed out not too long after.
Quote:
On Saturday, it was the Cavalry’s turn. It was poetic to see Day 1 player Sergio Camargo score the winner, with captain and fellow original Marco Carducci finally getting to lift the trophy having come so close before. If there is a more affable and charismatic head coach in Canadian sport than Tommy Wheeldon Jr., I don’t know who it is. The Englishman who has made Calgary his home since 2002 is box office, and a genuine league star who at some point will be targeted by bigger clubs in bigger leagues. For now, though, he deservedly gets his CPL title.
As do the Cavalry faithful. As someone experiencing Spruce Meadows for the first time over the weekend, their fans wowed me with their passion, support and footballing sophistication. If the CPL was able to magically clone Atco Field and its surroundings and stick it in every CPL market, they’d really be onto something.
