Spain vs. New Zealand

Here are some highlights from the recent Spain vs. New Zealand game in the Confederations Cup. There are great examples of ball movement in these highlights.

Bombers Take Gold at Summer Games!

The Bombers took gold in the Summer Games over that last weekend and did it in dramatic fashion. The tournament started off with a victory over a U16 Division 1 team, USA, 4-2. Next came Brigham City which the girls tied 2-2. Then the Bombers got on a roll. The final pool game saw the Bombers take it to Rampage, a Division 1 U15 team 4-0. In the Semi Finals the Bombers played a familiar opponent - The Warriors from Weber County, another Division 1 team. After a slow start and giving up an early goal that saw the team down 1-0, the Bombers roared back to life with a 6goal output to win 6-2.

The gold medal game saw the stiffest challenge as the Bombers faced Razzia FC. Razzia recently finished in the top two in U16 Division 1 of the state league and will be promoted to the premier division next Spring. Playing the older team presented a challenge however both teams were up to the task keeping the game tied at 0-0 throughout regulation forcing an overtime. In a very physical overtime the Bombers ended up scoring the game winner on a header with one minute left in the first overtime. The team then held on for the last five minutes of the second overtime period to capture the gold! We could not be more proud of the effort and character that the girls showed.

Bomber Plays ODP

This past weekend Emma Pasley played for the state 94 ODP team in the Mountain States ODP Friendlies in Orem. She showed well tallying a goal in Utah's 4-2 victory over Idaho. She followed that up by having a goal and an assist in Utah's 2-1 victory over U14 state cup champion Utah Rush. Way to go Emma!
