Yorkton United Football Club opened its 2012 men's season with the beginning of a home-away series with FC Dauphin in a Thursday fixture at the Sacred Heart High School pitch on Thursday May 17. After two practices YUFC and its players were still getting comfortable with one another and getting back into form, but benefited from a short Dauphin side that only had eleven players, leaving them without a substitute. After a back and forth start of the game Brandon McCallum opened the scoring with a volley to make it one-nil followed by two more Yorkton strikes to extend the game to 3-nil. Dauphin managed to capitalize off two bad Yorkton bounces to score off of a deflection and a penalty kick but could not handle Yorkton's depth and skill and ended up losing 6-2 in the first of two games between the clubs this summer. Both teams looked better towards the end of the game and will use this as a stepping stone for improvement to begin their respective seasons.
Yorkton United FC's men's programs next event will be the beginning of their local summer league season on Sunday May 27. New players are still welcome and can either register on the Yorkton United FC website, or at Canada Soccer Shop on Broad-way.
