Pioneers extinguish Jeff at Firefighters' Cup

Providence pipped hosts Jeffersonville to the boys' junior varsity Firefighters' Cup at the weekend.

In the first game of the three team tournament played last Wednesday, the Pioneers beat Butler 3-0 thanks to an Andrew Wimp hat-trick.

The deciding matchup between Providence and Jeffersonville on Saturday was a tight affair, with the game scoreless at the half. However, the deadlock was broken with five minutes remaining when sophomore Grant Vance netted what turned out to be the clincher.

In the final game of the tournament, Butler took a 2-0 lead against Jeffersonville but the Red Devils staged a comeback to run out 4-2 winners, thanks in no small part to a hat -trick by junior Gavin Leavell.
