"Key to winning- team effort and not giving in when we were down 1-0 in both games (semi final)
Overall the team was consistent, we were creating chances, plus knew the goals were going to come.
Joe Hallihan, Alex Hallihan, Jonah Peterson, Dylan (goalie) Riley Keenan, Daniel Richard, Daniel Moody. As a whole the team was very successful, and were all excited but still unselfish.
Still excited about the win.
