U12A: WINGS RED READY TO REPEAT

PRESS RELEASE – Defending champions Wings Red are poised to repeat for a second championship this year with an undefeated record moving into playoffs of the U12A division of the Triple J Auto Group Robbie Webber Youth Soccer League Fall Season at the Guam Football Association National Training Center.

“I hope we win the championship again,” said Wings Red’s Justin Joseph. “To win again, I think we need to strengthen our defense and also make better passes with each other to build up more plays to score.

“Most of us have played on the same team for a long time, so we know each other on the field and how we play. We also have a good coach who helps us and encourages us at our games,” added the 11-year-old student at Harvest Christian Academy.
