The team ended the year at Cup Day Saturday, Aug. 29 in Uxbridge with game one a tie 1-1; game two a 1-0 loss; and game three a 2-0 win. This wasn't good enough to advance to finals on the Sunday but you'd be hard pressed to find a team that had as much fun as they did. Many thanks to the terrific coach Dennis Romeril.
