A fortunate start to the campaign?

Not a chance.

Any doubters of Cavalry FC’s early season success were left in the dust after Wednesday night’s action in the Canadian Premier League.

Just as was York9 FC in a dominating 3-1 effort by host Cavalry at Spruce Meadows.

It was attack, attack, attack by the home side in a match that actually saw them score six goals but only get credited for three, as the Cavs — with time on their side in the past week instead of running all over the country —returned to their dominant ways and to the win column in the CPL for the first time in a month.

“We were magnificent, weren’t were?” said Cavalry GM/head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr., with a big grin gracing his face after the decisive victory at ATCO Field. “That’s what I say about giving us (practise) time on the grass. Do that and we’ve got time to have a look at a few things and work on some rhythms.

“It should’ve been about 15-1. But we’ll take this.”
