The U9s went to Nordonia and came back with a 7-5 win.

Tshepo's U11d1b team beat Kenston at home 5-2. Jeremy's Hat Trick (3 goals) led the team, Tladi's brace (2 goals) completed the scoring.

The U13 team lost to Twinsburg 4-0.

And the U14 team dominated Fairview Park 6-0

Coach Krus' team, managed by the coaching team of Callanan and Alcorn, played a tough and disciplined game against a talented Shaker Hts team in U11d1A, and won at Shaker 5-1. All the goals were scored in the first half, and included a header off a ball bouncing in the box, a cross that deflected off a defender and in, and a screaming upper 90's shot to the far post by Charlie E. Thomas collected a hat trick in the game.

Kyle Gisser's U12s beat Twinsburg 2-1 by playing a determined defense on a week when the offense just wasn't clicking. The team simply refused to lose and it showed in their play.

Robbie Helfgott's U14 conceded their first goal of the AASL league season in a 4-1 win over North Royalton. The boys are now the only undefeated team in the AASL U14 Division B, and sit atop the standings at 3-0-1. They play 5-loss Fairview Park next Sunday, and then a showdown with 3-1-0 Midview in the game that may determine the championship next Tuesday night May 11th at Canterbury at 6:30.

The U9s beat Kenston on Sunday 3-2.

A rough week for the U13s resulted in a midweek loss against Chagrin Falls in a squeaker 3-2, then a 5-1 loss against Mentor on Sunday.

Tshepo's U11d1b boys lost to SEL 7-3, while the undermanned U10s lost to Mentor 2-0.

The U14 Boys applied for and were admitted to OYSAN's State Cup competition, but as a new entry, were required to play a play-in game to get to the tournament. The boys, the only travel team in the premier competition, met the MSC Wave this morning at 10:00 at Copley fields.

The Eastside Kickers, with only 12 players on their State Cup roster for today, dominated possession and took 10 shots and 3 corners to the Wave's 4 shots and 1 corner. However, with 2 minutes remaining in the game, the lack of subs took its toll and the Wave were able to break through and score to go up 1-0.

The Eastside Kickers still had a chance and earned a corner with time expiring. With the goalkeeper pulled up into the offense, a desperate save from the Wave goalkeeper preserved the win and sent our boys home. A great performance, the boys earned the respect of the league for getting where they were, and we vowed to be back next year.

Now on to a clash with AASL Div B #2 Rocky River for top spot in the league at 5:30pm!
