The Notts Forest BU13 Red Team are Champions of the SDSC President’s Cup Silver Bracket. Coach Peter Green and the boys should be proud as they showed what hard work and good sound play can do when it all comes together. The tournament was played on big fields with artificial turf on the campus of University of San Diego. The fields and perfect playing conditions allowed the boys to play a quick passing game that utilized the full field for build up, ball control and attacking the opponents goal.
The Notts team dominated play in their bracket. Over the whole tournament they had a combined record of 4 wins and 1 tie. The team scored 20 goals in 5 games while only allowing the oppents 3 goals. After winning their group they cruised through a semi-final match where the outcome was never a question.
The championship game put them in a battle with a capable and talented Albion Red team. Early on after forcing the play at the Albion goal and hitting the post twice in the first half the game remained 0-0. Albion scored the first goal at the waning moments of the first half on a nice cross and header into the top corner. The Notts boys showed up in the 2nd half with desire and focus to finish what they had started. The boys out scored Albion 2-0 in the second half to win the final game 2-1.
This tournament should be a good springboard for their efforts in the upcoming CalSouth State Tournament.
