Following two practices, the GU-8 Select Team came together for their first tournament. Starting with a 1-0 victory over Macclesfield United, the team posted it's first shut out. This exciting start was quickly followed by a 2-0 win over Plymouth Soccer Club. Showing steady improvement with each game, the girls then faced Deep Run and posted a 5-0 victory. With 3 shutout wins in 3 games, the Team were rewarded with First Place in the Tournament.
Remarkably energetic despite the rain and mud, the girls enthusiasm for the game and team spirit shone though both on and off the pitch. Everyone played every position displaying the versatility necessary at this young age and everyone played an equal amount of time during the games. This truly was a team effort as the goals were spread around many scorers spurred on by enthusiatic support from both players and parents on the sidelines.
