FUTSOC FUTALAN – YELLOW U18 Starts 2017 Season With Another Tournament Triumph

November 8th, 2017

This last weekend our FUTSOC club was proudly represented by our FUTSOC FUTALAN Yellow U12U14U16 and U18/19 squads, at the Soccer Skills Pre-Thanksgiving Tournament, held at various locations throughout Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

In what constitutes our first event of the new season, our FUTSOC FUTALAN Yellow U18 squad, won the Championship match against a formidable West Florida Flames FC side, by the score of 2::1. Inspired by a convincing 3-0 record in group play, which included a strong victory over nemesis Weston FC by the score of 3::1, it opened the path to the eventual triumph at this highly respected event.

Our FUTSOC FUTALAN Yellow U14 squad, reached the 3rd place match of the same event on the strength of group play victories over Parkland FC, Miami FC and a tie with Doral FC – Blue. In the Silver Final, our team jumped into an early lead and flooded the opponents net with 3 unanswered goals, holding that lead intact until late into the second half, where we substituted liberally, and the opponent scored with less than a minute remaining on the clock…resulting in a 3::1 victory over a fine Doral FC team.

Strong performances by our FUTSOC FUTALAN Yellow U16 (eliminated by goal differential in group play), which looked in very strong form at such an early juncture of this season, and the surprising competitiveness of our FUTSOC FUTALAN Yellow U12 (our very young squad comprised mostly of U11 players at their first event ever with two losses and a 1::1 tie) rounded out the very competitive presence by our club as a whole!

Overall, this was an outstanding start to our very young and promising season. With only a few weeks of training, we held our own against much larger clubs that have been active since mid-August.

We urge you all to follow up on our website for upcoming scheduled events for all teams during November and December.

Congratulations to all!
