Firecats Kickoff the Fall at Oceanside Tournament

9/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The Firecats had a successful day at the Oceanside Tournament on Saturday, September 2. Struggling through close losses in the first (0-1) and second (1-3) games, the boys battles to a much needed win in our third (4-0) match to earn a 3rd place finish in the White Division in the U13 bracket.

The first game against Massapequa was close and the teamed hoped for a tie, but gave up a tough goal. The second game against Great Neck was a tale of two half's where New Hyde Park had a lead going into halftime, but fell short in a very physical second half battle. The Firecats found their spark during the third game against tournament hosts Oceanside, completely controlling the match. The opponent did not register a shot on goal, which the team realized was a tremendous accomplishment. 

These were the first 11v11 matches for the Firecats. During the summer, the team added several new players and were missing a couple of teammates for this event. Despite the changes, the Boys showed grit, determination and a passion to find on-field success. The team is still learning how to play as a unit, on a bigger field while the coaches are assessing how all the pieces will come together. 

The Oceanside tournament itself was managed well. Mitchell Field was a better travel destination for the team than going to Oceanside Park. The referees for the 3 matches were great! Having two line judges made the course of play much smoother than having just a center ref. 

The team will host its first league game Saturday, September 9 at Tully Park. With two practices in-between to solidify positions and strategy, team trainer, Ace, will create a plan based on what was learned from the tournament. The team looks forward to a great LISJL season in the U13 5W Division.
