Middletown U14 Boys Soccer Team Brings Home the State Cup

The Middletown U14 Boys Soccer Team captured the state cup on Sunday with a 3-1 win in Smithfield over island rival, the Portsmouth Pirates.

The Middletown Youth Soccer Club team participated in the June 25-26 2011 Rhode Island Cup Soccer Championship Cup in Deerfield Park, Smithfield.

To advance to Sunday's title match, the Middletown squad first beat out Burrillville in a semi-final match in which Middletown's Connor Murphy and Matt Violet each scored goals for the 2-0 win. Coach Tim Brown also credited a tough defense with exceptional performances by the U14's Justin Bartenbach and Alex Leite.  

In their match-up against the tough Portsmouth Pirates team on Sunday, Nate Offenberg, Max Lennon and Rodrigo Pelayo scored the goals for the day to secure a win 3-1 and bring home the title. Jameson McQuade, Tim Powell, Matt Shinego and Dan Brown did well in defense for that match, said Coach Brown.
