Smithtown Roma Are the New Boys Under-16 Eastern New York Premier League Champs
New York Youth Soccer News: Smithtown Roma defeats the Valley Stream Warriors in a back-and-forth battle between two undefeated teams.
Two penalty kick goals from Dustin Brown propelled Smithtown Roma to the Boys-Under-16 Eastern New York Premier League (ENYPL) title as they defeated the Valley Stream Warriors, 2-1. This Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) championship game between two undefeated Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) teams was played on Saturday, June 18 at the Peter Collins Soccer Park in Plainview.
Valley Stream, whose goal was scored by Jean-Gardy Derineau, had a penalty kick of its own but a phenomenal save by Smithtown keeper Ethan Donovan kept the ball out of the net.
“The difference in the game was our defense as we won the 50-50 balls. Our forwards did a very good job pressing against a very talented Valley Stream team,” explained Smithtown coach Mike LaCarrubba.
