U12 Strikers Win LDYSL Challenge Cup

The Chatham Girls U12 Strikers capped off another incredible season at the London District Youth SoccerLeagues’s Challenge Cup Festival in Woodstock this past weekend. The Strikers went 4-0 in the tournament and won the U12 Tier 1 Division Pool.

In their opening match on Saturday the Chatham Strikers beat London AG in a thrilling, highly contested and competitive match 1-0.

They proceeded to beat Middlesex United 3-1 and then advanced to Sundays final games where they beat St. Thomas 3-1, and then faced their league rival, the London German Canadians in the final game.

The Strikers dominated possession throughout. A single goal proved to be enough and the Chatham Strikers prevailed 1-0 to go undefeated in the final tournament of the year.

In addition to their tournament success, the Strikers went 16-0 in the Lambton Kent District Soccer league and 12-3-1 in the London District Youth Soccer League. This season’s success was a repeat of the Strikers London District Youth Soccer League Championship crown last season.
