Vic West, of the Lower Island Soccer Association, opened the competition with a 5-0 win over Surrey United before they faced off against the Fraser Valley's Packenham Cup champions Chilliwack Rivers FA and brushed them aside 3-0 in the quarter finals. Which set up a Semi-Final matchup with last year's Provincial Finalists, BB5 United. Again, Vic West came out victorious with a 3-1 victory and conceding just a single goal on the way to the finals.

ICSF Columbus, of the VMSL Premier Division, opened the competition with a dominant 5-1 victory over Gorge FC before an all-VMSL matchup with Croatia SC which they won 2-1. Then, Columbus had another all-VMSL matchup with NVFC Norvan which they handled with ease as they booked their ticket to the finals with a 6-1. 

Keith Millar Men's B-Cup: Campbell River Golden Wings vs Meraloma FC

Campbell River had a dominant home record throughout their VISL season and this continued into the opening rounds of Provincials. The Golden Wings started things off with a 3-2 win over Serbia United before a 2-1 win over Ladner FC. Then Campbell River travelled down to Victoria to face Juan De Fuca, who they narrowly beat out in their regular season. This time, Campbell River handled business with relative ease and won 4-2 to punch their ticket to the finals. 

Meraloma FC is coming off a very strong VMSL season which saw them lose just once and secure promotion to Division 1 next season. The Lomas had a tough route the finals as they had to travel out to Mission, where they came out with a 2-0 win, before heading back to out to the Fraser Valley to face Abbotsford United, which they won on penalties. Then, in a Semi-Final matchup with the Richmond All Blacks, Lomas had a comeback for the ages as they scored twice in the final few minutes to send the game to penalties yet again.
