The Comets did it again - amazing results when it counts!!!

When the dust was settled, the U12 Comets took home a plaque with the word "Finalist" on it. However, the Comets deserve the title "Champions" for everything they did this past weekend in Region 1 Championships hosted by Soccer Maine.

12 teams vied for the title; CT, VT, and VA won wild card draws and sent 2 teams each. Both VA teams competed in the second semi final while the Comets played VT #1 (Nordic).

The Comets started strong and beat West VA 4-0 (maximum goal difference allowed is 4) only to fall short 0-2 on day 2 to VA #1 (Jr. Majestics Gold) who will spoil the final match later on for the Comets. Day 3 presented a real drama between Academica FC and the Comets. Academica’s tie allowed the Comets to advance into the semi final round after the Comets beat VT #2 (Capital SC) 4-0 to face VT #1.

The semi final was a physical, fast-paced game that ended with the Comets scoring 3 while conceding 2 to meet their rivals from day 2 - VA #1.

After a great comeback in the second half to tie the game at 1-1, the Comets failed to keep the score even. Nevertheless, the Comets take back tons of positive experiences on and off the field and know that the future in bright!!!

GO COMETS!!!
