Warwick Football Academy Conclude Texas Cup Tournament
|
 Warwick Football Academy U16 Boys Conclude Participation in the inaugural Texas Intenational Cup Tournament.
The WFA team entered match day 3 with the need to win against the #1 ranked team from Tulsa, Oklahoma to advance to the final on Sunday.
Warwick had recorded 2 wins and 1 loss, while Tulsa Soccer Club had 3 wins in the group matches prior to today.
The match up would be as intense as the heat and temperatures it was played in. The teams traded attacks and both defended with commitment and resistance to keep each other at bay during the first half, which failed to produce a goal.
Warwick were forced to weather a period of sustained pressure from the restart of the 2nd half, but refused to be broken before starting to claw its way back into the offensive mode.
The match would go down to the final secs with both teams resolute in their desire to achieve the needed outcome. At the full time whistle the 0 - 0 stalemate would be enough for Tulsa to advance to face off against Sting Soccer Club on Championship Sunday, but Warwick can be proud of their performances and results over the course of the tournament, finishing with 2 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw.
The team will enjoy a day of leisure on Sunday, before making the journey back home to welcome cooler temperatures on Monday.
Warwick Football Academy is proud of the effort and performance from the players and team, who have represented the club, their families and Bermuda well and garnered many compliments both on and off the field.

Day Two Warwick Football Academy. in Texas
|
Day Two of the Texas International Cup for Warwick Football Academy.
The WFA U16 boys endured searing heat with 99 degree temperatures in Arlington, Texas to come away with a win and loss on match day two of the tournament.
In the opening match at 9:30 am, WFA would fall 2-0 to Sting Soccer Club from West Texas. The match was a close contest with both teams testing each other with skill and pace. Sting would take a 1-0 lead 2 minutes before halftime to seize control of the match.
The 2nd half continued with a midfield battle, before Sting doubled their lead just after a mandatory water break due to the high temperatures.
Warwick had to quickly recover and replenish for the 2nd match which started at 3:30 pm with temperatures at the peak high for the day.
Against Lubbock Soccer from Texas WFA controlled the early proceedings creating multiple chances to score but could not find a way to beat the goalkeeper.
There were now two mandatory water breaks during each half to help keep players hydrated and safe from heat-related health risks.
At half time the teams remained deadlocked at 0-0. WFA would finally break down the resistance of the opposition when Jah’Zion Taylor scored his first goal for the tournament to give Warwick the lead.
Taylor would add another goal along with a goal from Qash Lambert to help Warwick rebound following this morning’s loss with a 3-0 win.
Tomorrow WFA will play against Tulsa Soccer Club, with the winner most likely advancing to the final on Sunday to play against Sting Soccer Club.
The quality of the competition at the tournament is high, and several WFA players have caught the eye of college coaches in attendance.
