The men's bracket was exciting and thrilling, match after match. Each game showcased highly skilled players with a true passion for soccer.  The veterans of Lexington Eagles kept each match close, while SVU, Playwright, New England FC, and Future all battled to see who would make it to the finals against undefeated Safira.  It should be noted that the men in green, Playwright, came the closest to  containing Safira, holding them to a 1-0 victory with Safira scoring in the last minutes of the game.  

It was, however, the men of SVU who fended off all other teams and earned another shot at Safira in the finals.  SVU put forth a valiant effort with good defense and pure tenacity. But Safira's ability to spread the field and complete the extra pass opened the game up after their 3rd goal.  The Safira men demonstrated artistic passing, great foot skills, team play, and most of all a passion for the game of soccer. Safira prevailed in the men's final 7-0.

Team Future gets an honorable mention for moments of brilliance on the field and true entertainment off the field.

***Individual highlight of the tourney goes to Safira's Hermann Souto for his bicycle kick shot on net!! ***

Thank you to all players and teams who participated this weekend.  We hope you enjoyed an exciting and enjoyable day of soccer.
