This Week 1-14-19

The SuperDraft was held this past Friday and continues Monday.  We’ll have an update this week on the full results.

In the meantime the Quakes report and the 3pointsport spin on the event.

JASA Redwood City had a match over the weekend against Cal United FC II from the San Diego area for the UPSL West title.  The result was not meant to be, with the San Mateo County club losing 1-0 to the second team of Cal United FC.

 

 

Cal United FC II moves on to the UPSL semi-finals, while JASA prepares for the upcoming off-season wondering what may have been.  If you have a need for a soccer fix, support the lower leagues.  Most of the games are free, and a chance to maybe catch the next future top-flight player. Congratulations to both teams, plus the local UPSL clubs Oakland Stompers, San Leandro United, San Ramon, and Real San Jose to name, on a well-played season.
