Boys U15 Avon Revs Win Connecticut State Cup Again

The Avon Soccer Club boys U15 team (The Revs) beat Weston in thrilling fashion to win another State Cup. Under the coaching leadership of Shawn Peter and John Muirhead, the gritty Revs scored with less than a minute to go in regulation to force overtime. In overtime the Revs scored early and dominated play to run out the clock.

\In a wild game that included late game heroics, overtime, multiple penalty kicks, a Weston coach ejected, and opposing players receiving multiple red cards, the Revs kept their composure and ground out a terrific win.

The boys celebrated their win with a November swim in the Farmington River.

The Revs are now undefeated in their last three State Cup runs and will advance again to the regional tournament in Virginia.

The Avon Soccer Club, established more than 35 years ago, is a not-for-profit organization run by all volunteers with the goal of offering the game of soccer to Avon youth residents. For more information on registration and tryouts, go to www.avonsoccerclub.org.
