The MVHS Pulamoo moved to 6-1 with a pair of victories this week.

On Tuesday MVHS faced the WA Losier Bisons in a game where defence dominated.

The Pulamoo backline of Mike McGinn, Greg MacDonald, Branden Sears, Sean Russell and Luke Savard shut down the Bison and secured a 1-0 clean sheet for Mike McEachern.

The lone goal in the game came 20 minutes into the second half when Matthew Stewart, who was moved from his wing half position to striker, ran onto a through ball from John Mullin to score from just inside the 18 yard box.

On Thursday the victims were the Bathurst High School Phantoms as MVHS earned an impressive 4-0 win.

Matthew Stewart opened the scoring for the Pulamoo early in the first half to put his team up 1-0. That's how it remained until the 15 minute mark of the second half when the flood gates were thrown open.

Justin Gorges gave MVHS its second of the game before Stevie Green battled his way along the BHS goal line, striking the ball hard into the keeper. The keeper gave up the juicy rebound for Mike Manderville, who buried the ball, sending the Pulamoo ahead 3-0.

Big Michael Sears rounded out the scoring with on a penalty kick giving MVHS the 4-0 win and McEachern his second straight clean sheet.

The team faces a busy schedule to close out the regular season facing BHS at the MVHS soccer pitch Tuesday night at 4:30, visiting JMH Thursday for the second boys soccer derby of the season before closing out the year at home against ESN Friday night at 4:30.
