The
Under 15's played in the USA Cup in July 2003 in what is
the Top Youth International Football Tournament of it's
kind.
The
Squad are pictured here as they prepared to take on Teams
from all over the World. There were 56 Teams in his age
group coming from Brazil, Egypt, USA, Canada, Mexico,
Paraguay and the best sides from all over the world
The
Team played six Games and proceeded from the Group Stage to
the Quarter Final Knock out stage, where they won 1:0
against St Croix Arsenal with David Rock scoring the winning
goal with a header from an Alex Perry free kick with only
minutes to go
This
then took the team through to the Semi Final where they
played The Saints from Southampton, England. United had
chances and were unlucky to see a Steven Fitzpatrick shot
cleared off the line. The Saints won the match with a goal
in the second half when a long ball beat the United defence
and the striker finished with a perfect drive
The
Saints Manager paid tribute to the younger United Squad
saying that his Team were the Youth Development Squad with
Southampton FC and that this match against United was
probably one of their toughest this season
As
usual the Team went to the Valleyfair theme park, but this
year they were interviewed by Cable TV during a coaching
session with George Sasvari and featured front page news
with the local Soccer America Newspaper.
