Island Times: A Quick-Strike Visit to Harbourside Sets Up a Big Finale in Victoria

Rovers Hunt for Points & Playoff Positioning in Their Last Lower Mainland Match, Look Ahead to Harbourside
Rovers are a-roving this July, off on the road for the last five matches of the 2023 League1 BC season, but this ain’t no Summer vacation.
