This year, the U10 team won all three of their games against Erie Admirals, Penns Forest (Pittsburgh) and Century United (Pittsburgh). This is the second year in a row that the U10 team has gone undefeated.

The U12 Boys team, playing 11-aside for the first time all year, won all three of their games against Century United, Northern Steel (Pittsburgh) and Erie Admirals. This team played exceptionally well for their first time on the full field.

The U14 Boys team won two games and tied one against Century United, Erie Admirals and Pittsburgh Rangers. This team also played exceptionally well against strong opposition.

The U13 Girls team won one game and lost two close games to Century United, Excalibur (Cleveland) and Northern Steel. The girls played well and could have won all three games.

Well done to all of the BFA teams and their coaches.
