Local USSF Developmental Academy rivals AFC Lightning came to Scott Hudgens Park this past Saturday to take on the Atlanta Fire United. The u-16's were first up and despite AFU creating some excellent chances in the first half they were unable to capitalize and where deadlocked 0-0 at the half. The stalemate continued in the 2nd half with Lightning finally coming to grips with the wet and soggy field and created some chance so their own. Neither team could find a way through and it finished 0-0.
The 18's were up next. AFU applied the early pressure but AFC came right back and scored midway through the 1st off a deep cross that was not dealt with by the AFU defense and a Lightning forward was on hand to poke the loose ball into the net. AFU upped the pressure in the 2nd half and put some intense pressure on the Lightning backline but some outstanding goalkeeping and spirited defense kept them at bay. 1-0 the final score, a disappointing loss but good motivation for next week when Virginia Rush and McLean Soccer Club are hosted by AFU.
Next weeks games will be held at EE Robinson Park at 2pm and 4pm on Saturday and 9am and 11am on Sunday. Please come out and support your AFU Developmental Academy teams.
