Champions!

Plymouth United won the U11 Boys League championship with a 14-4 win over Canton Celtic Silver.
The teams entered Saturday afternoon's game tied for first with 6-1 records, but it wasn't much of a contest.
United dominated from the opening whistle, building a 4-1 halftime advantage behind two goals from Justin Wojcik and single tallies from Cameron Cieslik and Sean Rocker. Riley List stood tall in goal, making a few key saves and frequently and effectively playing the ball with his feet.
The teams traded goals early in the second half before United netted six unanswered to put the game out of reach.
Wojcik led all scorers with five goals.
The players received trophies after the game.
They return this week to Futsal training and will join a Futsal league next month.

Plymouth United U11 boys indoor team drops 1st game of session

The Plymouth United U11 boys indoor team won its first six games, and none of them were particularly close contests.
United's margin of victory ranged from three to 10 goals during its undefeated run to start the session.
Then came Saturday.
United lost 8-4 to The Jets.
Bad news, right?
Wrong, according to coach Mario Ramirez.
"I'm so proud of how we played," he said. "(The Jets) deserved the win. They played with great intensity.
"But our kids played very well."
The Jets scored twice in the game's first 90 seconds and led 5-2 at the half.
Thomas Dono drew United within two goals at 5-3 when he slotted home Gabe Rosas' centering pass with 23:13 remaining in the game.
After The Jets scored to go ahead 6-3 10 minutes later, Justin Wojcik put the ball down for the restart, waited for the referee's whistle and calmly rifled a shot past the stunned Jets goalie.
United feverishly tried to cut the margin to a single goal, but couldn't find the back of the net for the remainder of the game.
Sean Rocker and Shane Young scored United's first-half goals.
The loss dropped the teams into a first-place tie.
United closes out the session against Canton Celtic Silver (5-1) on Dec. 17.
