The Desert Rangers Under- 9 team became the Season Two champions of the Jebel Ali Youth Football League.
It was a hard fought season and on the last day any of three teams could have become champions.
In order to win the league title the Desert Rangers youngsters needed to win their last game of the season against the Soccer Kids team, which they did in style with a 8-0 margin after dominating play on the wings with splendid long passes and positional play.
"The boys have performed exceptionally well all season long and have worked hard to become champions. Also many thanks to the unending support from the volunteers and parent groups on and before the tournaments," said Amir Daowd, the under 9 squad manager. "I have to thank my teammates and all the parents extra for their cooperation and the time devoted for training. Just hard work and determination on the field alone throughout the season would not have given us this title," team skipper Jude Daowd. - moni@khaleejtimes.com
