Love To ComPete 2007 - 3v3 Soccer Tournament

8/19/2007

0 Comments

 
We switched our Love To ComPete tournament from basketball to 3v3 soccer this year, and it was a big success. It was held at Skillings Field in Winchester and featured 39 teams in divisions for GU-12, GU-14, Boys’ H.S., Girls’ H.S., and Men’s Open. Players came from all over the area, including western Mass. and Nashua, and enjoyed some very competitive soccer on two beautiful sunny days.
        All proceeds from the tournament went to the Peter French Memorial Foundation, which gives grants to needy young adults and to ARVD research. This year’s tourney raised around $4,000.
        The U-12 Girls division kicked off the weekend with some exciting and entertaining soccer. The Middleton Thunder knocked off the Framingham Panthers 4-2 in the final to take home the title.
        The winning team in the Men’s Open was Vinho da Madeira, who made a magnificent comeback in the last few minutes of the finals to beat the Gunners 9-8 in overtime.
        The biggest draw was in the Boys’ High School division, which saw 10 teams vying for the championship. Winchester fought hard but lost in the finals 9-5 to SF Vikings, a club team from the North Shore.
        The Girls’ High School division had the most exciting finals of the weekend. The game went into a shootout, with Winchester squeaking by Delta FC (a club team from the Dual County region) 5-5, 3-2 PK's.
        The U-14 Girls division was perhaps the most competitive, with all teams showing soccer prowess. In the end, the Cranberries knocked off the Stars of Mass 6-4 in the championship match.
        The anxiously awaited raffle drawing was held at the end of the weekend with an autographed Claudio Reyna game jersey and a pack of four category one Revolution tickets going to the winners.
        We would like to thank the players, volunteers, and sponsors for making this event possible and are looking forward to Love To ComPete 2008.
