We have completed registration for The Azzurri Eagles in the Association Cup, the Northern California State Championship for class 3 teams. Subject to being postponed for weather, the dates to save are Jan 10-11 opening weekend, January 17-18 middle level playoffs, and semis and championships the weekend of January 24, 25, 2009. Based on past years, it is not uncommon to be postponed one or two weeks. I offered to host any portion of the tournament at Wheeler Auto Soccer Complex at Riverfront Park. The teams we play against will be drawn the middle of November and we may hear shortly thereafter when and who and where we will play. In order to do well we need to work on our league games the next three weekends. Then we need to work hard and play hard in the District Cup. So for now don't worry about the Association Cup, just save the dates!
