U-8 CELTIC is in the Finals!!!

Championship at 2:30! Get thee to Frank Brown Park (fields in the very back), to cheer on Our Greater South Walton Community's YOUTH!!!

U-15 A.C. still awaiting results of match to see who they play in the Semi-Final.

 

[DCFinSCB]

This just in from U-8 CELTIC Trainer, Billy Johnson:

0 - 0 going into the second half. CELTIC is passing the ball well, and attempting to wear down the opposition. More exciting up to the minute info to come!! 'Mon the Celts!

U-15 A.C. back in action in the semi-final in 15 minutes!

 

[DCFinSCB]

U-8 CELTIC lose the nail biter in the end of the second half, 1-0. But we could not be prouder of them making it to the Championship and representing all of Greater South Walton so well.

U-15 A.C. just started their semifinal. Do the wave....:dothewave:

 

[DCFinSCB]

Halftime. A.C. Scotty's 1 - 0 Opposition.

In Scotland, they call this "squeaky bum time."


Let's go il Rossoneri!!

What a game and way to go Celtics. The team they lost to has not lost a game and typically dominates their opponents! It was a very exciting game and I think I am as tired as the kids!

 

[DCFinSCB]

That is awesome, Bobby. No way these kids should do anything but hold their heads high. We are so proud of them! It should be added, for the tournament, the rules called for goalkeepers, which we do not do in US98 Soccer (nor do I think any U-8s should do), and they had 6 players on the field instead of our standard 5. Great job adapting to the different demands of the game, and fantastic job overall! We hope all of the kids had a blast being part of this!!


Meanwhile, U-15 A.C.; 1-1 final, going into extra time. Penalty Kicks to decide who goes to the final.....

U-8 Murphy's CELTIC Re-Cap from The Gaffer:

Christian,


Game 1 - Celtic played hard and overcame the challenges presented by slightly different game play. A couple of our star defenders from US98Soccer assumed the mantle of Keeper and did a fabulous job adapting to that position. By the end of the game Celtic were learning to play "in the box" and that helped even the odds a little with the other team - Victory Celtic!


Game 2 - Viking had some big players and some really skilled players. They came out of the gate and popped three goals in before Celtic could change strategy. Victory Vikings.


Game 3 - Celtic started off a little slow (I heard some of the players really ate a hardy lunch from the concession stands), but as soon as the heavy bellys wore off - look out - it was Celtic all the way. Celtic really starting to understand the strategy for 6 on 6 with goalie, staying in positions, spread out, and passing game back on. Victory Celtic.


Game 4 was a hard fought battle, you can be very proud of US98Soccer Celtic!
The U8 Celtic played their hearts out - we held the vikings to 0-0 at the half with our impenetrable defensive strategy.
Unfortunately they sneaked one past us in the second half and the Vikings won 1-0.
Afterwards one of the Viking Dads and the Viking Coach said they hadn't ever had that challenging of a game.
The Viking's were used to 8+ margins all season and the Celtic were a real challenge for them.


I am really proud of all of our Celtic players and a special HOOYA! to Coach Billy and the Dynamo players (Zane, Christian, and Jacob) that donned Celtic Jerseys and played with great enthusiasm and Celtic Team Spirit.


We are #2 inter-league but Spring 2009 US98Soccer Celtic U8 will always be Champion's Supreme in my book.


Thanks for all your hard work and dedication.


US98Soccer ROCKS!


Ciao,


James Sumpter
