SKELETONS UNITED FINISH ITS “BONE VOYAGE” WITH CONQUEST


February 24, 2013
Morris Plains, NJ


     The reigning U8 3v3 futsal champs, the Skeletons United, returned to fight for Short Sided Soccer’s 3v3 turf title.  Starting the tournament off strong, Skeletons United claimed a win against Millburn Fury, a solid competitor in past tournaments.  Westfield proved that the Skeletons weren’t the only team with a strong offense, finishing the tournament with six points.  In the blue division, the six-year-old Lady Kickers brought a monumental passion to their first game, playing an incredible game of offense against the Falcon Fury.  The audience was entertained by the young girls’ fight, and the players were awed.  Falcon Fury, however, scored the winning goal in the last couple of minutes to defeat the little ladies, 6-5.  The Lady Kickers’ hot start to the tournament gave the players confidence, but their following competitors vanquished them with experience and size.  Falcon Fury met Skeletons United in the final game.  United played the field almost mechanically, making precise passes around defenders.  Their simple game play and keen vision led them to victory.
 
     Congratulations to all teams for playing in Short Sided Soccer’s last U8G 3v3 tournament of the winter.
