Young Guns-Greek team event u15 champions

Sunday March 30th, the first (at least the last decade) Greek team champion for under 15 players was played in Illioupoli.
Athens kickers consisted by Giannis Vlassopoulos, Tasos Maroulas, Dimitris Koulosousas, Manos Kapsabelis and Manos Lysicatos, wrote history for the club. They lift the trophy after a hard battle against the extraordinary teams of Piraeus Lions and Ilioupoli Roligans.
The future of the club is written with golden letters and the Athens Kickers family are extremely happy with the youngsters

National tournament

Sunday march 15th, the 1st national tournament was played in Piraeus.

In the under 15 category kickers dominated. Giannis Vlassopoulos was the winner and Dimitris Koulosousas was second.

In the open category we had: in division one Giorgos Aggelinas stayed in the quarter finals and Thanasis Vlassopoulos stayed in the groups.

In division 2 Marcos Kapsabelis win the title, Serafim Koulosousas was 4th and Argyris Poulidis was 8th.

Major of Mons

Athens Kickers were present in the biggest tournament of the season, the famous major of Mons.
And our presence was impressive. 8 players (the biggest ever number of players from a single Greek club), 2 teams (included the first ever participation for our B team).
Unfortunately the results of both the two teams and our players were not so good. All our players and teams if they were qualified from the group, stayed in the barrage.
The B team (Serafim and Dimitris Koulosousas, Giannis and Thanasis Vlassopoulos) stayed on the group as they lost against the hosts of Hennuyer and the Italians Sessana. The A team (Giorgos Aggelinas, Jaime Silva, Argyris Poulidis and Marcos Kapsabelis), qualified from the group as second (lost against Stembert, won against Palermo) but then lost in the barrage against Napoli.

In the open Jaime qualified from the group just to lose against Casciano in the barrage. Serafim, Argyris and Thanasis stayed in the group.
The same happened in the veterans as Serafim stayed again in the group, as at the same time Giorgos and Marcos lost in the barrage.
Another barrage defeat was there for our two U15 players. Giannis and Dimitris didn’t have any further luck to proceed any further.
