Our U13 boys reached the finals of the Disney Showcase Tournament held over the Thanksgiving weekend, eventually loosing to FC Florida to two late goals.
The team opened the competition on Friday with a convincingĀ 5-1 win against AFC Lightening who are currently ranked in the top 30 teams from Georgia. In the second group game on Saturday the team lost 2-1 to the team they would meet again in the finals, FC Florida, despite taking a first-half lead. Saturday ended with a hard fought game against Team Boca with Celtic the eventual winners 5-4 which was enough to put the team through to the semi-finals on Sunday.
In the semi-finals the team faced Concorde Fire Central who were unbeaten in the group stages. Celtic played the game with high intensity and it was all too much for the team from Georgia who are ranked 9th in their state. Celtic cruised to a 7-0 win much to the delight of the parents who enjoyed the performance.
Despite a great effort in the final and a disallowed goal mid-way through the first-half the team lost the game 2-0.
