242-667: The Spokane Spiders (in which Cameron Wilson scored twice) in late May, were in contention at the early stage of the season.

The Mariners ultimately won just four games all season, their final two victories coming via an unexpectedly comprehensive 6-0 revenge victory over Yakima that featured

264-434: The fourth game (2-1 over Yakima Reds ), and only managed three more victories all season. Things hit an all-time low on the final day of the season with their 5-0 demolition at the hands of Cascade Surge, and they again finished way off the pace, 19 points behind champions Cascade. 2005 saw Abbotsford slip even further behind their competition, finishing their season a full 29 points behind defending champions Cascade Surge in

286-663: The resurgence was too little too late for the team, and the season ended with them in fourth place, and Jason Jorgensen as the top scorer. 2004 saw the Rangers move into a new home at Bateman Park , and hire a new player-manager in the shape of former Hamilton Academical and Canada defender Colin Miller , who had been in the Canadian squad for the 1986 FIFA World Cup .

308-409: The season wound down, Abbotsford was one of three teams vying for the playoffs, knowing that two victories in their final two games would take them into uncharted territory.

However, their postseason

330-555: The season, with 7 goals, while Justin Cordick scored five goals and contributed 4 assists. 2009 was a return to the disappointing form of previous years for the Mariners, despite starting the season optimism following the hiring of local soccer personality Alan Errington as head coach.

374-450: The story of most of the rest of the season. 2008 was the year of 'boom or bust' for Abbotsford, where almost every game was either a resounding victory or a humiliating defeat: they beat Cascade Surge 5-0 in a game that featured a hat trick from Adrian Kekec , beat Spokane Spiders 4-0 at home, and put another four past Cascade at the beginning of July.

440-483: Was a short one, as they lost 3-2 to Orange County Blue Star first time out, despite being 2-0 up at halftime. Colin Miller left Abbotsford in the 2006 close season to become Billy Davies ' assistant at Derby County in the Premier League , and he was replaced by former Canadian international Shaun Lowther for the 2007 campaign.

484-417: Was worrying for all involved. Then, quite inexplicably, everything changed in 2006. Miller's men were hot from the get-go, with an opening day tie with newcomers Tacoma F.C. , and then back-to-back victories over Yakima Reds and the other Northwest newcomers, Ogden Outlaws . June saw the team embark on an unprecedented 6-game unbeaten streak, the highlight of which was a 4-0 road thumping of Cascade Surge. As
