This past weekend, the U11 Bristol Soccer Club Girls squad played in the championship game of the Oakwood Premier Invitational.

And the program from the Mum City battled throughout, dropping a tough 4-2 loss in the title tilt against Oakwood’s ECNL team.

Bristol went 3-1 overall, carrying a victory over that same Oakland program along with triumphs against Oakwood 2013 elite team and the 2012 Boston Bolts Elite.

For the Bristol contingent, keeper Alyssa Robidoux played extremely well in the goal while the duo of Maddy Ciminera and Mikayla Memmott were tough on the defensive end for the Strikers.

Bristol’s Natalia Assis led the offensive attack while teammates Ella Gokey and Laney Connor also scored along the way.

More about the Bristol Soccer Club

The Bristol Soccer club has done an excellent job over the years preparing players for the next level.

According to the program’s website, the Bristol Soccer Club is a non-profit civic/athletic organization dedicated to the Bristol Community, welcoming youth players from the ages of 5 to 19, their families and friends regardless of social or economic background. This organization fosters safe, recreational, developmental, and challenging soccer experiences.

Our coaching and training staff encourages each player of the Bristol Soccer Club to focus on the improvement of the physical, psychological, technical, and tactical aspect of the game of soccer.

During this process, players will be taught good sportsmanship, and to respect themselves, their teammates, their coaches, those officiating their games, and their opponents.

The Bristol Soccer Club believes the game of soccer to be a vehicle that develops self-confidence and self-worth which helps to develop mind and body, and by doing so; produce a responsible decision maker, and a productive citizen.
