RISA Soccer - u14 BOYS : Eight teams, ONE Winner - AMBRIT!

 Ambrit's u14 boys grew into this tournament, improving with every game. A 2-0 win in their opener versus New School (Gabriele F, Giovanni Z) sent them into game 2 versus St Francis in a confident mood. SFIS shook them though with an early goal but Ambrit responded magnificently. Francesco scored straight from a corner and Rocco made it 2-1. Antonio headed in a third and then Rocco struck again. Daniele scored the fifth. The last group game was against Marymount,who had been winning too. But Ambrit were now unstoppable. Kevin, Daniele, Rocco and Gabriele (2) scored for an easy 5-0. 

And so on to the SF versus Acorn. After a tense start, there was Rocco again - always pressuring the defenders, always looking for an opening. He got it and converted and Ambrit settled down. Daniele scored a beauty from a free kick and Rocco chipped in a third to send Ambrit into the final. Here they came up against AOSR, who had beaten our boys 1-0 at the Ambrit tournament last month. But today Ambrit had one team and one idea: WIN! And they did!! This time it was Gabriele who scored the opener, turning in Rocco's corner. Dani then played the assist for Rocco to make it 2-0 and Giovanni set up Rocco soon after for a third.

All in all, a great team performance with some outstanding individual contributions. A special mention to Giovanni Z who dominated in midfield, never put a foot wrong in defence and was happy to let others score the goals up front.
