PRESS RELEASE – With just two weeks left in the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League, many players are not quite ready to hang up their cleats just yet.
“I want to keep playing soccer even after the league is over,” said 7-year-old Chloe Esteves of the Southern Heat. “I like playing soccer because it’s fun and I like taking the ball away from other people.
“My mom (Tina Esteves) was the one who got me into the sport, and my whole family plays, too,” added the Merizo Martyrs Memorial School student.
For teammate Jaron Meno, one of the highlights of this season’s youth league was receiving a Fair Play with Triple J green card during a Week 2 match. Meno was one of dozens of youth athletes who received a Triple J “jimmy” ball as a prize for fair play during a short ceremony Saturday at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.

The Rovers and the Wings play in a Week 8 U6 division match of the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.
“Soccer is fun and it’s all about playing fair,” Meno said. “If someone falls – your teammate or from the other team – it’s good to make sure they are OK and help pick them up.
“I got a green card for fair play and I won a jimmy ball. The jimmy ball is fun to play with and I can keep practicing soccer with it,” added the 8-year-old Merizo Martyrs Memorial School student.
In Week 8 U17A matches, the Wings Red enter the division’s playoff race ranked No. 1 after a 6-0 win over the ASC Trust Islanders. Toy Matsushita and Kaito Inoue scored twice and Ricky Katsumata and Shashikant Kotwal once each in the win.
The Wings Black edged the Guam Shipyard Wolverines 6-5 with three goals from Thomas Park and two from Jordan Jasmin. Hinako Ito also scored for Wings Black. Jestin Escobar finished with a hat trick and Randi Jo Paulino scored twice for the Wolverines.

The Paintco Strykers defeated Southern Heat 6-2 led by Justin Johnson’s two goals. Michael “Jake” Benito, Brandon Flores, Kazu Yoshida, and Ray Gudmalin also scored in the win. Riley Jones scored both goals for Heat.
