FC Bascome U14s Fall to Narrow Defeat in Classic
FC Bascome's Under 14 Premier Division team faced their second challenge at the prestigious USL Pathway Classic in Tampa, Florida, this time falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat against the Chattanooga Red Wolves SC.
The USL Pathway Classic, which has expanded this year to include US Youth Soccer teams alongside USL academy sides, continues to provide a competitive platform for young talent.
Following their opening 3-1 victory, FC Bascome encountered a tight encounter against the Chattanooga Red Wolves SC. Despite a hard-fought effort, the Bermudian side were unable to find the back of the net, and a single goal from their opponents proved to be the difference between the two teams.
While the result will be a disappointment, the experience gained in such a competitive environment remains invaluable for the young FC Bascome squad as they continue their campaign in the USL Pathway Classic.
