Richmond United are 90 minutes away from repeating as Metro Selects League U18 champions.

Richmond United are 90 minutes away from repeating as Metro Selects League U18 champions.

The boys team haven enjoyed another outstanding campaign, winning 18 of 19 games, and can cap the impressive run when Richmond hosts the Central City Breakers Pegasus (Surrey) on Sunday at 11 a.m. at Hugh Boyd.

United has managed the dominating run despite having a roster that features just 13 players. It has resulted in players from the Richmond Youth Soccer Association's U16 Selects squad being called up on a regular basis.

Goalkeeper Ante Boskovic leads the league with 12 clean sheets and Alexander Escobar (27 goals), Rylan Sangha (21) and Armando Matok (14) pace the Richmond attack.

"We scored 83 goals and only allowed 15 against this year which we thought we still could have had allowed even fewer," said captain Fergus Kennedy.

The U16 Selects are also looking to secure the league championship. They will host Vancouver F.C. at 1 p.m. on Sunday at Boyd.
