PRESIDENTS CUP WINNERS
Palatine Celtic, Campton United & GLSA Libertyville

Top to bottom: Palantine Celtic U15, Campton United U16 and GLSA Libertyville Premier Orange U 17.

Palatine Celtic (U15 G), Campton United (U16 G) and GLSA Libertyville Premier Orange (U17 G) overcame wet conditions and some very strong opponents to win the Fall Illinois Presidents Cup and earn a spot in the Midwest Regional Presidents Cup that will be held in June.

Midwest champions then move on to play for a National Championship.


Under-15 Girls Final
Palatine Celtic: 1 - SASA Spirits: 0


A first half goal by Rachel Bank proved to be enough for the Celtics who defense held strong in the second half as both teams fought through periods of torrential downpours.

Under-16 Girls Final
Campton United: 3 - Palatine Celtic: 1


Sarah Marturano gave Palatine an early advantage when her high kicked ball from 15 yards outside the box bounced up and over the fingertips of the Campton keeper at the 6 minute mark. Campton would score three unanswered goals, two by Carly Spencer (14th & 43rd minute) and the game winner by Mary Landry in the 23rd.

Under-17 Girls Final
GLSA Libertyville Premier Orange: 1 - Palatine Celtic: 0


Last year's U16 Presidents Cup champions, GLSA, defended their state title in a very hard fought match that was not decided until the 84th minute when Chelsea Olson knocked in the game winner.

U13-U14 Girls and Boys U13-U17 divisions will be played in the Spring 2013 Illinois Presidents Cup.
