Congratulations to the Castro Valley Soccer Club Castro Valley SC CVSC United 2017 Boys Green Team. On November 10, the team won the 2024 NorCal Premier State Cup U9 Copper 5 Championship in South Davis, Calif., over the South San Jose Soccer League 17B Blue Team by a score of 7-1. Castro Valley played a series of six games to take the title. The first two matches were played on October 19 with mixed results as the CV Green Team defeated Piedmont SC Highlanders 2016B Grey 6-5 but lost the second match to Ballistic United BUSC 2016 Select Gold 3-5. The next two matches on October 20 were also split, with Castro Valley losing 2-6 to Albion SC Central Valley B16 Premier in the opener. However, in the Quarter Finals round, the Green Team racked up an impressive 14-0 shutout of North Coast Futbol Club North Coast FC 17B Blue. When it came to the Semi-Final round, Castro Valley showed its resiliency against the Alameda Soccer Club Islanders 16B White, defeating them 6-2. South San Jose could not get past Castro Valley’s defense in the Finals, and the Green Team sent them packing.
