During the Thanksgiving Holiday the U14 OBGC Rangers traveled to Orlando to play in the Disney Wide World of Sports Junior Soccer Showcase sponsored by Chelsea football club. The Rangers were victorious in their efforts and won the top flight of the U14 bracket. With the help of three guest players the Rangers defeated teams from Texas, North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. In the finals the Rangers defeated the Dallas Texans premier team 4-1. Following the awards ceremony the boys had their team picture taken with Mickey Mouse.
It was a great experience for the boys to play against other high ranking teams. This opportunity was made possible in part by the generous support of OBGC. During their down time, Coach Matt Pilkington escorted the boys on many of the wild rides at Universal Studios. Not only was it a successful trip for the players but also a good time had by all.
Preceding this exciting trip to Orlando, also late in November 2009, the U14 Rangers wrapped up NCSL league play by rendering a Division 1 championship! It was quite satisfying for the boys, especially having come so close to winning the division in the spring, 2009 (we ended up in the #2 spot).
