The 2012 Xara Winter Cup was played January 27-29 and our 00’ Black team had a tremendous showing. After defeating the Mustangs FC 00’ White team 3-0 on Friday night, they came back on Saturday morning to defeat Texas Lightning 3-2 and get a draw with a tough Dallas Juventus 00 North team. On Sunday, the girls played in the Final Match against the Mustangs FC 00 Navy Team. Our girls shined and dominated possession but allowed 1 goal in the second half, on a set play just outside the box. It was a great weekend for the team and they just came up short of winning the Final match.  Congratulations AFC 00’ Black, great job! Keep it up.

 It was hot and windy last weekend but that didn’t seem to bother the 01 Girls Red team. They went down to Arlington to play in the Arlington Labor Day Shootout and brought there A game. When they returned home, they brought the first place trophy with them. Congratulations to the AFC 01 Girls Red for winning the Arlington Labor Day Shootout. Excellent play!

Congratulations to the AFC 03 girls Black team for completing an undefeated indoor season and defeating Liverpool-Carragher 3-1 to take the League Championship.  The girls scored 51 goals during the season while only giving up 7. The team is set to kickoff the SDL season in September. Earlier this month, the girls also won the Ayses Summer Classic by going 5-0 in tournament play. 

The AFC 00 Girls Red earned 2nd in the Childhood Cancer Shootout on August 27-28. The girls played 4 hard games in 104+ heat and battled into the Championship match. 

The Childhood Cancer Shootout is a hosted Soccer Tournament to benefit 6-yr old soccer player, Kodi Tutt. Kodi loves Soccer & playing with her friends. Since being diagnosed in March 2010 with Neuroblastoma Cancer she has been unable to play soccer. AFC was a proud sponsor of this tournament and we want to wish Kodi and her family all the best.

To learn more about Kodi and her fight against Neuroblastoma please visit her Caring Bridge site and her Journal pages. 

Apparently the heat was not a factor for the AFC 03 Girls Black team, because they went 5-0 in the Ayses Summer Classic to become the 03 Tournament Champion. This is a very good little team and one to keep your eye on for the future. Congratulations 03’s and Coach Kenny Blevins!

Congratulations to the AFC 98 Black for getting into Lake Highlands. With a 2-1 win over Dallas Kicks SC and a tie against Internationl on Saturday, AFC came out on Sunday to defeat Solar Silver 3-1, propelling them into Lake Highlands. The club said all along that this was a Lake Highlands caliber team and we’re very proud you achieved this team goal. Great job ladies!

It only took 1 day, 2 games and a bunch of pressure for the AFC 00 girls Black team to reach their goal of being promoted to the Lake Highlands Girls Classic League. On Saturday, the girls defeated FWFC 00 White 1-0 and Avalanche 00 1-0 to earn the hard earned promotion. The club is very proud of the girls and we are extremely excited about the coming year.

Congratulations to the AFC 01 girls Red. They made it to the Finals of the 2011 Puma Cup. They defeated Dallas Kicks SC 2-1 in the Semi-Final round on Sunday morning. They played the Diamonds in the Finals and though they were not able to bring home the victory, they have much to be proud of. Great job ladies! 

Congratulations to the 99 Boys Squad. They advanced to the Semi Finals in the Carey Tournament.  Great Job!

Congratulations Aces 98 Boys team for coming in 2nd place in the Texas Lightning Youth Cup! The boys lost to OC United 2-1 in the Championship match but played great all weekend, scoring a total of 10 goals in four games. Great job guys!
