On Sunday March 24th, some members of the AFC ’97 & & ’96 boys teams played in two futsal friendly matches with Ambassadors Pittsburgh at Destiny Church of Twinsburg. The boys played to a 6-6 tie in the first match and a 8-8 tie in the second match. It was a great day of fun and fellowship between the two teams. Ambassadors Pittsburgh has been working with inner-city youth for the past few years and looks forward to the developing partnership between their teams & the Cleveland-based club.
