Local club team wins Spring Cup Tourney

The Cypress Futbol Club LA (for Los Alamitos) Girls U10 won the Spring Cup Tournament Flight 1 Division. The road to the Championship was hard fought, especially because they played with only 10 players in most matches. The tournament began three weeks ago with trips to San Bernardino every weekend with only the winners advancing.  This past weekend was the semifinal and final. The girls won the semi final against FC Golden State with a 1-0 score. The Final game was against an undefeated Corinthians SC where the outcome was decided on penalty kicks. Cypress Futbol won 4-1 and the heart and mental toughness the girls displayed was unbelievable to witness. “The transition to a new club, loss of friends and players and playing short most of the matches shows just how much strength these girls possess,” coach Henry Salazar said.
