Galactics played a friendly game against the Premier team, Dynamo New Tampa, last Friday, in preparation of the Region III tournament.  The Region III tournament will take the team to Jacksonville for four days of top team competition from May 23-26. 

This past week the team had 6 practice sessions and one friendly game against Dynamo New Tampa (Premier Division), which ended with another Galactics Victory of  4:1. During these 6 practice sessions the team focused on recovering and reconditioning for the upcoming Region III tournament in Jacksonville, Fl.  This week also helped players Charlie de Souza, Robert Rivers, Felipe Libreros, Birahim Diop and Marvin Arzu work on their injury rehabilitation with professor Mauricio Rodriguez.

Galactics III, the Galactics youngsters (U20), played the Chairman's Cup in this year's State Cup.  This highly competitve tournament marked the team's first tournament participation and the entire team is to be highly commended for their achievement in making it all the way to the finals and coming home in good spirits with the Finalist Trophy.

The Galactics II Team did a great job, taking on the tough competition of the President's Cup and fighting their way magnificently to the finals. The team played a truly memorable semi-final against Belag F.C., winning with a close 2:1 score in the 20 minutes overtime.  Since all other games had already finished, the entire Galactics crew (Galactics I, Galactics III, Galactics O40 and all fans and staff) was kept on the edge of their seats until the relieving 2nd goal sent an explosion through the crowd.

Filled with joy over the latest triumphs achieved during this season (Suncoast Division 1 Champions, Florida Champions and Florida State Cup Champions),  Galactics I resumes activity after a deserved 3-day break, now focusing on playing teams that qualified for the Region 3 from different states, such as Texas, North and South Carolina and Georgia.
