For the second weekend in a row, Coach Martinez’ BU10 team successfully made it to a tournament championship match, succumbing to a strong Nomads SC team in the final match (2-0), at the Irvine Memorial Classic this past holiday weekend.

Handily winning two pool games against Newport Mesa SC (6-0) and the Santa Anita SC Strikers (2-0) and tying the third match (0-0), the team allowed no goals until the final match. Although the boys took home second place, Head Coach Charles, Assistant Coach Kelsey, their families and friends are extremely proud of the effort and discipline that these talented young players exhibit from week to week.

Congratulations!

LAFC BU10 takes first place at the 2008 Irvine Memorial Tournament as they finish undefeated over the weekend of May 24-25. They had some tough competition as they fought their way to (3-2) and (4-3) wins on Saturday. On Sunday they came to play as they won 2-0 to secure 1st place and advance to the final. The final saw them start slowly as they let in the first goal but then came to life, scoring 5 in a row to win (5-2).

Fighting against 106 degree heat at the San Bernardino Soccer Complex, the LAFC Black team successfully took the Championship match for the 2008 CSL Spring Cup in Flight 3 on Sunday, May 18, shutting out the Empire Soccer Club, (2-0). LAFC Black handily won Pool Play to advance to the Championship game with three wins, 11 goals for and only 1 goal against.

The physically strong Empire SC team fought to keep the game to a (0-0) draw through the half. However, LAFC Black came back with strong skills and passing to score two solid goals and to put away the Championship match.

Congratulations to Coach Martinez and his very talented players !
