The U9 Girls 3V3 soccer tournament started off with a nail-biting game between Montville and Roxbury Yellow, ending in a close 4-5.  Next, the Kicker Crew (U7 Boys) took on Roxbury Purple, defeating them 4-1, followed by another confident game against the Montville girls, winning 5-0.  Roxbury Yellow and Kicker Crew, both wearing yellow, earned their places in the Final game, which entertained the crowd with the high level of defense. Matthew O'Flynn played an awesome defensive game, allowing Stevan Patino and Alex Brandon to play the ball down to Ted Rosenfeld, the new-found striker, who scored more than half of the team's total goals.  Great variation was apparent in the game, allowing all the players to take turns in different positions, which seemed to have worked to their benefit.
 Although the effort was there, the Crew fell two goals too short in the finals to the Roxbury Yellow, who were almost twice their size.  The Kicker Crew surely impressed the crowd by playing two levels up, and making it as far as they did.
