Congratulations to the Patriot Cup Champions and Finalists. We saw a lot of great soccer during the tournament, and hopefully it was a good warm-up for all the teams. Complete tournament results are posted in the link to the left.
Many thanks to the tournament sponsors: Hard Times Chili Cafe (Fairfax City), Tamir Linhart’s Golden Boot Soccer, and DC United. We had a great time at the social Saturday evening, and appreciate Golden Boot and Hard Times underwriting the social.
