With the new season quickly approaching, both U10 Boys Divsion 1 teams, Manchester United, and Arsenal, enter the Goal to Goal Soccer Tournament this past weekend in Boca Raton, Florida.  Being placed in separate brackets, both teams played with focus and determination, defeating each team game by game.  After each win, each team, inched closer and closer to the finals.  By the afternoon of the second day, and one more game to win, it was a matter of hours before both of Weston’s U10 teams would meet in the finals. On Sunday, both Manchester and Arsenal arrived with one focus-- the finals.  Both teams, once again defeated their opponent, each securing their spot in the finals.  Manchester and Arsenal both placed first in their group and it was on to the Championship game.

 

With so much success, One club in the finals was going to prove to be a spectacular show of skill.  Each team, focused and ready to play.  Both Weston coaches perched on the sidelines, the game began.  Each team driven by a compassion for soccer, displayed phenomenal skill on the field.  Manchester scores, Arsenal scores and a 1-1 game for now.  Manchester scores again, Arsenal scores again and the game is 2-2.  Each team consistently showing their skills, and their hearts on the field, battling eachother, and each refusing to give up until the whistle blew. The game went on in two 5 minute overtime periods, each player remained driven and consistent.  At the very end of the second overtime period Manchester scores winning the game 3-2. 

 

With such an outstanding performance from both teams, the accomplishment alone, for two of Weston’s teams to meet in the finals proves that both are contenders.  Congratulations to both team’s players, for a job well done, as we were and are just ONE club!
