Edit - finished as a 2-1 win. Bevan on at 73 mins (2-0)
Read somewhere Gael Sandoval has left Vancouver.

Cavalry now 9 pts clear, atop the league.

Cavalry now 9 pts clear in first spot.
Silverware for Myer Bevan & Cavalry FC, who win their 2nd ever CPL Shield after Forge FC defeated Pacific FC 3-1 in the later kickoff. This result meant neither side could overhaul Cavalry with two rounds left in the regular season.
Continental football for Myer Bevan in 2024!
Cavalry qualify through to the freshly renamed & reformatted CONCACAF Champions Cup, kicking off in 2024.
A fantastic opportunity to go up against some big clubs out of North & Central America.

Goal sees him finish the CPL regular season as joint Golden Boot winner with Ollie Bassett (Ottawa Athletico) with 11 goals each. So 2 ex Handy Prem guys with the GB title in Canada!
Cavalry won the title 13 pts clear in 1st. They have a playoff in 2 weeks against a yet to be determined opponent.
He'd go alright I'm sure. Is a few ex ALM fringe players in the CPL. Jesse Daley (ex Roar) plays with Bevan. Bevan himself has a Canuck passport, so that likely helped him get a deal there.
His goal courtesy of a deflection at about 4.35 mins into this highlights video.

That's a good endorsement for the game down this part of the world. Wonder if there's any interest in the pipeline from some of these Canadian clubs, whether they're Kiwi's or players coming out of the National League down here.
Could think of a few who'd be able to make the jump to that level.

Bevan a full game.
Forge straight through to the final which they will host in Hamilton, Ontario in a fortnight. Cavalry host Pacific (from Victoria, Vancouver Island) this weekend in the Elimination Final.

Canada beat USA 2-0 in Hamilton Jan 2022. Temp -6 Celsius for that game!
Bevan on the field for the full 120 mins.
29 games (28 starts) in the CPL for Myer. 11 goals.
Highlights. Bevan with the preassist for Cavalry's (in black) goal.

Good luck playing a game of football in Calgary in February. The Florida folk will turn into icicles.

Got to make the most of that fabled home ground advantage somehow. 😉
So they've moved their home leg some 1000 kilometres down the way to BC and the home of Pacific FC - Starlight Stadium.
Cavalry makes tough choice to house ‘host’ game of first-round Concacaf Champions Cup series in Victoria. Calgary not safe for playing soccer on natural grass of ATCO Field in February. Here’s our @CPLCavalryFC story … https://t.co/VD0KjfFOvg

Wasn't that long ago they were battling some serious forest fires and sweltering temperatures in the Canadian summer just gone....

Bevan always looked like a smart player - maybe a little slow, which I think has held him back as he is not the strongest, or most technical player either. Good at most things, just not quite good enough if that makes sense?

Any Kiwi strikers, attackers coming to Auckland FC are likely to be sitting behind strong top drawer visa players. If they are on reasonable coin in the CPL or USL they may just want to stay there.
Though if they are to give themselves any remote chance of the AWs & the 2026 WC, they yes will need to leave where they currently are. Got to be part of Tommy Smith's thinking, coming to the ALM.
Someone mentioned a year or so ago, how would Bevan have gone if say like Ben Waine he had gone through the Nix Academy system pathway. In many ways they have similar skills sets, but Bevan's sort of done it on his own through Nike Academy, Sweden, USA, South Africa & Canada - different coaching setups, maybe some poor coaches, not a lot of continuity etc etc. We are the decisions we make.
