Always enjoy watching these two teams play. Was a bit disappointed in the result of Vernon losing but I must say that defensively and offensively including there goal tending that Penticton was the better team and deserved the win having played a full 60 minutes. I hope a better effort will be displayed by our home team on saturday. GO,VIPERS, GO.
