What a great season Celtic Florida families; lots of great wins and performances this season; from great results in the GYSA cup for our Recreational teams to great league,Region C cup performances and recent tournament wins for our competitive teams. Our new Celtic web site has delivered all of this exciting news with great team photos and lots of great information regarding all of our upcoming events.
As all of this great soccer has been going on there’s also been another competitive season running behind the scenes and we felt that we should recognize all of the hard work,and clever strategic plays from our Team Managers who have been battling it out to win the English Premier soccer fantasy league!
This is the third year that many of our coaches, players,Mom’s and Dad’s and special guests from Europe have been busy selecting their teams to battle it out to be the winning Managers of the Fantasy league. This year saw 35 Managers enroll into this “Free to Play” league where the only prize for winning is “Bragging Rights” many side conversations on the field,at Beef’s and via text has finally ended until the start of the new season during the fall of 2013.
Congratulations go to our winner for the 2012/13 Premier Fantasy League, Willie Dunn. Willie was invited to play by our very own John Myers; John met Willie at the Hibernian training facility during the 2012 European visit. Willie’s son is the Hibernian U14 Goalkeeper for the Scottish Premier League Club, Father and son visited us in April last year and participated in some of Celtic’s training sessions.
Willie beat our Goalkeeper coach and previous Fantasy League winner, Noah Risley by 9 points. Noah finished the season in a very respectable 2nd place.
Coach Chip Kuykendall finished in 3rd place and pipped Jason Howard by 2 points; well done Chip, bad luck Jason, if only you had chosen a different player for the final week you could’ve finished in the Top 3.
What a great season, well played to all that entered.
We will post the link on the web-site in time to enter the new 2013/14 Fantasy Premier league that starts in August 2013.
Stu’s Villans.
