For the second consecutive year, the Portola Valley Soccer Club has won the California International Soccer League championship in the over-45 age group.
The club clinched the title with a 6-0 victory over Britannia Arms at Rossotti’s soccer field in Portola Valley.
“It was a great accomplishment, considering the team had started the campaign with a couple of tough losses, having sat in last place,” said Bobby Lane of Atherton, one of the club’s two goalkeepers.
The team, made up of men ranging in age from 45 to 57, most of whom are residents of Menlo Park, Atherton, Portola Valley, and Woodside, finished the season with 15 wins, two losses, and one draw.
