Over the December 10th and 11th weekend, the Pateadores G2005 RSM captured the prestigious 2016 “Orange County Tournament of Champions" title. In one of the premier tournaments in Orange County, the Pateadores battled through their first three games in their 4 team bracket to advance to the finals. They bested PYSL Blast G2005 Ghio, Santa Barbara SC White, and Strikers FC Southbay in the bracket standings to advance to Sunday's finals. In a highly competitive evening final, played under the lights in Irvine, the Pateadores G2005 RSM had the chance to battle a very skilled Orange County Premier team that had outscored the teams in their four team bracket by a combined 9-1 score, dominating in the process. In a back and forth final that witnessed some outstanding goal tending, strong defense, and some tenacious offense by the G2005 RSM Pats - they bested OC Premier for an exciting 2-1 victory. Next-up for the G2005 RSM Pateadores team is the Pats Jr Cup on January 7th and 8th, followed by the Strikers Winter Cup January 21st and 22nd - as they gear-up for this years’ Presidents Level State Cup.
