Atlanta Concord Fire Tourney

The 97 Hurricanes Black Squad played up one age division at U-11 "silver division"and competed in the rain-shortened Concord Fire Tournament in Atlanta Feb 24th. The boys posted a 1-1 record falling in their initial game to the host Concord Fire team 2-0. This was followed by a Saturday afternoon victory over the Atlanta Futbol USA Club 4-1. Unfortunately the Sunday games were cancelled and the boys were unable to test themselves against the North Atlanta Soccer Assoc. Club who were unbeaten in their first two tourney matches. The lads showed their true competitive spirit and soccer skill in this initial test of the Spring 2007 season.
