The BU9 Irvine Pateadores finished up a 3 consecutive weekend tournament stretch, by reaching the finals in both the Pat’s Cup and South County Showcase, as well as winning the Anaheim FC Summer Showcase this past weekend! The BU9 Irvine team outscored their opponents a combined 20-3 in group play (Anaheim FC 3-3, OC Premier Black 12-0, South Bay Galaxy 5-0) and then shut out a very talented and physical OC Premier Orange team 4-0 in the finals.
Throughout the 3 tournament stretch, Coach Paul Needham masterfully aligned, rotated and made key substitutions to take advantage of key match ups and situations. Under Coach Paul, the BU9 Irvine team has now participated in 5 tournaments, successfully reaching the finals in 4 of those and winning 2 tournaments.
Congratulations on a phenomenal 3 consecutive weekend tournament stretch, well done boys and Coach Paul!
