Saturday October 3 - The SSI U9 Amityville Strikers took to the road again, this time traveling to Brentwood to take on the Black Falcons. Once again the Strikers were taking on a more experienced team in a higher division and once again they refused to back down. Joey Carman was a force on both sides of the ball zipping all over the field. Joseph Crema played strong defense, refusing to

be pushed around by the larger Falcons and constantly

rushing into the offensive zone. Kristian Rafsol was

10”

fearless in net and kept the Strikers in the game, and at

the end of the day the scoreboard said the Strikers lost, ENTERTAINMENT

but the smiles on their faces told a different story.
