Summer Clarke couldn't have provided a better farewell present to her teammates on Sunday.

The talented striker scored both her team's goals in the Richmond Red Hot Selects 2-1 victory over Burnaby in U18 Coastal Cup semi-final action.

The result not only gives the Red Hot Selects the opportunity to play in the Coastal Cup final against Surrey Pegasus on home soil (May 5-6), it also sends the girls to the Provincial Cup in Kamloops in July.

Clarke left Richmond on Monday to join the national team for a week long training camp in preparation for the 2012 CONCACAF Women's U17 Championships in Ciudad de Guatemala, scheduled for May 2-12.

She scored both goals in the opening the half, the first coming when she was hauled down in the box and she converted the ensuing penalty. She then added another 10minutes later on a spectacular run through three defenders.
