Ukrainian Indoor Soccer Tournament 2007


On February 24, 2007 F.C.LIONS won the first place in annual indoor soccer tournament held at ukrainian cultural center in Whippany, NJ. The following teams have registered for the tournament: "Krylati" Yonkers, "Tryzub" Philadelphia, "Levy" Stamford, "UACCNJ" Whippany, "Sitch"Whippany.
As the tournament unfolded, the fierce victory over "krylati" yonkers with the score of 6-2, reserved for "lions" a place in play-offs, which led to the final match against "sitch". The game was tough .... additional time was running out with the score of 4:4. Everything was to be decided by penalties. And sure enough, luck did not turn away from Lions. May be Yaroslav Demchenko knew that as well, by saving the last penalty. The save granted our team the victory, that was so desired and yet well deserved.
After all, soccer is not about one guy, but about the whole team. Especially: Pasha Khurtenko, Taran Wolodymyr, Dima Dudnyk, Ihor Senyk, Aristarkh Kovalenko, Mihal Turek, Sergey Kazakov, Yuriy Strus, and entertaining goalie-coach Serhiy Rayko - they all played important role in that final victory.
