The Port Moody Nitro squad had no room for injuries when they took the field in an under-16 soccer game on the weekend.
A lack of extra players forced the injury-riddle squad to keep all 11 starters on the field for the entire game. The fatigue may have cost the squad, which dropped a 2-0 decision to the third place West Van Fusion.
