In a game interrupted by a blowing storm for about half an hour, Ponoka FC managed to defeat hosts Leduc 3-2 on Sunday June 1. Following the kickoff at 6:00 p.m., thunderous lightning and rain forced the referee to suspend the game after the first 30 minutes of play, when Ponoka was in the lead with 1-0.

The game was shifted to another pitch but weather continued to be a negative factor as both teams struggled to control the ball when it was in the air.

In the end, Ponoka came out of the scoring dual at the top with all three points scored by Kian Blanchette.

Ponoka FC play their next game on Sunday in Camrose.
