Apaseo wins 2009 Copa Charleston Print

Image(1-30-09) After losing to Real Miraflores in last year's Copa Charleston final, Apaseo was not about to relive the same outcome. Instead they won the 2009 Copa Charleston tournament with a convincing 9-5 win over FC Brazil. Ironically, they did it without the firepower of Ian O'Shea who had up until the championship tallied 23 goals in the tournament. Eusebio "Chivo" Perez took on that responsibility by scoring 4 goals to lead Apaseo. The Brazilians were not able to play at their usual level due to several injuries to key players like Vladimir Silviero and Wesley Silva and their goalkeeper who had been out since their morning quarterfinal match. Ian O'Shea did however win a personal double taking home both the "Golden Boot" and tournament "MVP" awards.

Lowcountry  Soccer would like to thank the following businesses and organizations for their tremendous support:
Madra Rua Pub, Lloyd's Soccer, Joye Law Firm, North Charleston Recreation Dept. and North Charleston High School.

The tournament is a 6v6 World Cup style event that offers the soccer community a truly exciting, highly skilled and high scoring soccer atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in Charleston. We encourage soccer fans young and old to come watch these players dazzle you with their soccer skills.

The event is being held at North Charleston High School's stadium across from the school on Montague Ave. This year's tournament will also have food vendors featuring Brazilian, Mexican, and American food. Admission is only $2.00 and free to children 12 and under. Lowcountry Soccer is also donating proceeds from the tournament to help raise funds for the North Charleston HS soccer program.
