2009 Sun Cup - Day 1

The 2009 VA Rush U-15 Nike Boys kicked off their fall season with the Beach FC Sun Cup. On a blistering hot day the Nike team ended up 1-0-1 after the first day of play.

The Nike boys took on the Braddock Road Elite 94 Royals in the opening game and took the lead 1-0 after just two minutes of play. The 94 Royals equalized in the second half and despite numerous chances for the Nike boys in the second half the game ended 1-1.

The Commack SUSA Academy from New York, was the opponent in the second game. The Nike boys again took an early 1-0 lead on a very nice chip of the SUSA keeper (photo below). The score remained 1-0 until late in the second half when another goal made the score 2-0. This game was marked by physical play and numerous yellow cards.



At the end of the first day our U-15 Nike Boys are in first place in the Premier Division with Beach FC Red in second on goal differential. Braddock is in third place with a 1-1 record and SUSA is in fourth ending the day 0-2.

First and Second place meet tomorrow morning at 9:30 an when the VA Rush Nike boys take on the Beach FC Red. These two teams know each other very well. Should be fun!
