Girls Match Weekend #2

January 22, 2012 - Fayetteville, NC;  The ASL girls took to the fields for match weekend #2 at the Triangle Friendlies in hopes of playing 3 quality games on the weekend.  Unfortunatley the weather turned wet and the event fields closed down on Sunday.  Most of the ASL teams got 2 games in but as the rain continued to fall and the field conditions deteriorated and eventually became unplayable. 

"The field sites stayed open as long as possible in an attempt to accomodate the teams that had travelled in from up and down the east coast - but eventually had to shut them down as the fields were saturated and the player safety became an issue." says ASL Commissioner Kevin Darcy "The last things that any of us wanted was to cancel the Sunday matches but the continuous showers that came through Saturday and into Sunday made continuing impossible.  We appreciate the efforts by the tournament staff and facilities to allow the games to be played through Saturday and hope that this week brings sunny weather so the fields are fit for the boys weekend that kicks off on Friday."

The boys Match Weekend #2 will begin on Friday as part of the Triangle Friendlies with 90 teams from U14-U18 competing to position themselves in the league standings.  For information on the event and for the scores from the girls weekend CLICK HERE.
