2003 Girls do well in Ottawa!

On May 25th and 26th, the Bradford Eagles 2003 Girls (U10) participated in the Ottawa Icebreaker Tournament hosted by the Ottawa Internationals Soccer Club.  The team represented Bradford well with their determined effort throughout the cold and windy weekend.  They came in second in their group round robin and advanced to the playoff rounds in which they secured their spot in the semi-finals.  They won 3rd place  in their division of 11 teams.  The bronze medal game was won thanks to superb teamwork. The single goal by Christina Gomes and two monster in-game penalty shot saves by Madison Spencer delivered the victory!  Great effort was made by all team members on their 2013 season tournament debut.  Their hard work training at the Bradford Sports Dome over the Fall and Winter with coaches Mike Spencer and Nick Warman was evident.  This was an exciting and  promising start to the 2013 season!  The team, coaches and parents would like to thank all the sponsors for their support, especially the main sponsors Ashley Woodturning and Infinity Group Construction.

On May 18 and 19, the Bradford Eagles U13 boys travelled to Orangeville to defend their title in

 The Stormfront Tournament. The boys played three hard games on Saturday in a round robin format vs Aurora, Georgetown, and South Simcoe. The team finished second behind Georgetown in the division. On Sunday morning, the team faced Richmond Hill White in the semi-final. A hard fought match came down to a penalty shoot-out.  The Eagles came out victorious and advanced to the final to meet Spartacus of North Toronto.

The boys played extremely well, winning their first league game 3-2 against Aurora. Good work to Austin Rodrigues, Hollan Spataro, and Daniel Yousif for the goals. Strong play by Andrew Ariza between the pipes preserved a good early season win.

The Eagles’99 U-14 Girls (sponsored by Roddie Saunders of Century 21) started their 2013 season by playing SC Toronto in Cherry Beach on May 22.  It was a hard fought match that ended in a 0-0 draw. A strong effort in net by Kate Turner and on defense by Cortnee Andrade, Chantal Lott, and Marissa Hunt kept the shut out.  A strong effort by Sabrina Pea and Madelina Liougas in the midfield produced a number of scoring opportunities. A special mention OliviahTaylor, for all her help on the bench, the team is all hoping she will be back in the line up soon.

Bradford Eagles U11 Boys began their season also on May 22. It was a great first game in the YRSL First Division against the Oakridges Knights. The boys opened the season with a hard fought 5-4 win!  Goals scored by Christopher Warren, Ryan Jensen, Nathan Moniz and Hugo Ponte.  The team relied on great defensive work by Sasha Chervonyy, Adam Lapierre, Noah Miranda, and Gabe Nogueira.  Devon Martin and Filip Zendelek where great sharing the Goalkeeping duties. An outstanding  start for the boys in the YRSL!

May 22, also saw The Bradford Eagles’00 girls in action versus Glen Shields at home in CGSL L4 Premier play. The Eagles performed well in a 1-0 victory. Later that night girls of the U-18 team where victorious against Woodbridge 3-1 in the CGSL L3 division.

The U15B Girls Bradford Eagles (sponsored by Trillium Hearing Centre), played their season home opener on May 23 at Cericola. In spite of cold temperature and weather conditions the UG15B Bradford Eagles squad team effort, outstanding dedication, continuous focus and commitment rewarded the team with a victory over the Oshawa Kicks with a match score of 2-1.

March Break Camp

The Bradford Soccer Club this week at the Bradford Sports Dome has been running  it's first March Break Camp. The camp has been a great success!

High level coaches have been working with a great group of players from the club. Both competitive players as well as players who just want to get better are participating in this all day camps. The age of the kids range from 7-13 and include both boys and girls.

This program will kick off the club's Development Programs for the remainder of the spring and into the summer. All the information about these programs is on the club's website or you can speak to Georgio about our full range of development programs for players.

Bradford Dome

As you may or may not know on Thursday night due to a rip in the material the Bradford Sports Dome collapsed down. The heavy snow on Friday has very much complicated the issue. In order to better access the situation and begin repairs the snow needs to be removed. The management of the dome has reached out to the club to help out. On Sunday February 10 at 10:00am we hoping to have as many members out to the dome to try and remove as much snow as possible. So grab a plastic (no metal) shovel and meet us at the dome to help out. Let's show some club spirit to do our part to get the dome back up and running so we can get back to training.
