After winning Bronze South during the 2010/2011 season; this team finished in 1st place in Silver South for the 2011/2012 season. This white team has the BU13 blue team, coached by Andy Thomas to thank in part. Not only has Andy helped the boys out over the past 2 seasons, but his team tied the top rated team in their final season game to propel the white team into 1st place. That is how a club supports its fellow teams!
