The U12 Juventus girls, along with their sister team Ajax, traveled to Hershey, PA for their final competition of the year over Father’s Day weekend, June 20-21, 2009. While the "competition" started on Friday with feats of courage (rollercoasters) and strength (chocolate consumption) at Hershey Park, the girls dug out their cleats and shin guards on Saturday to play some football.
Juventus, with some key support from sister Dynamo, were bang on form in their division with victories over a team from New Jersey (3-1) and then fellow WAGS sides ABGC White (2-1), and then NVSC Blue (1-0) in the semifinals. Playing with only two subs, Juventus really turned on the style for a rematch with ABGC in a dominating 3-0 performance in the final. At the same time, Ajax made no mistake in their division going unbeaten for the top spot.
Coach Chris, who enjoyed a special Father’s Day weekend with his family and the girls he’d coached for the last four years, is tremendously proud of his teams playing so well in his last games as coach, and was thrilled to walk off the pitch together with both Ajax and Juventus as Champions. Congratulations Girls!
