Ocean City FC and AC Premier are delighted to announce a partnership designed to enhance player development and provide players a national stage to showcase their talents through play in the United Soccer League’s Super Y-League.

“We are delighted to associate the Ocean City FC brand with AC Premier,” said general manager Neil Holloway. “It was evident early on that we shared the same vision for player development. AC Premier has quickly become the elite girls club in southern New Jersey and this partnership will enable the best female talent in the area to be showcased on a regional and national level.”

It was soccer madness this summer in the United States with not only the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but several high-profile preseason exhibition matches that were played from coast to coast. Teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid and AC Milan all came to the U.S. to prepare for the upcoming 2010/11 club season in their respective countries.

Ocean City FC was able to be involved with one of those mega-clubs, as they continue to develop a relationship with Italian giant Inter Milan. The defending European and Italian champions came to the U.S. for three full exhibition games in Los Angeles, Dallas and Baltimore and some smaller training matches against other clubs.

The Ocean City FC U12 Girls created history by becoming the first Nor’easters team to win a tournament. The girls battled through 5 games to become the U12 Central Jersey Invitational champions on Sunday afternoon. The first game resulted in a 3-2 loss to FC Amity Blue Lightning conceding from two penalty kicks. After a change in tactics and shape the team moved onto the second game which turned out to be a complete contrast from the first game, the girls managed to create several clear cut chances in front of goal and easily winning the game 3-0 against Toms River Breakers. That result meant we had to either win or tie with our remaining group game to progress to the knock out stages.

U13 Boys: The U13 Boys remain the only undefeated team in Group B of the Mid Atlantic division. With a few more positive results they are sure to qualify for the SYL North American Finals in Tampa, Florida. After three successive tied results the boys will be looking for a much needed win against Match Fit Chelsea this Saturday.

U14 Boys: Mixed results for the U14 Boys leave them in a comfortable mid table position after 5 games. The team most recently defeated Real Maryland FC with a 2-0 result, they will look to take that form into what will be a busy weekend with three back to back games. They will be playing Princeton Soccer, Match Fit Chelsea, and Real Maryland FC.

U15 Boys: After some spirited perfromances in recent weeks the U15 Boys have started to gel into a team. A few close results have gone against the U15 Boys but the way they have developed as players has been promising. They have 6 games left which they will be looking to gain as many points from as possible.

U16 Girls: After playing 5 games the U16 girls currently sit in 4th position with 11 points out of a possible 15. The most recent game was at home against current leaders Match Fit Chelsea which resulted in a 2-2 tie. The girls will next be in action on Saturday July 17th at home to Rage SC.

U20 Women: Some promising performances from the U20 women have seen them compete well with the leagues best in recent weeks. July 8th saw the women lead Princeton Soccer 2-0 only to lose the lead and unfortunately lose the game 4-3. The women have one remaining game against PSG Spartans on Saturday July 10th.

U20 Men: A tough season for the U20 Men comes to an end on Saturday as they play their last game against DC United. A few committed performances from the men in the last few weeks saw them have an outside chance to make the national finals. Unfortunately a defeat last weekend means they are unable to qualify however they will be looking to finish strongly and show a good account for themselves before some of the boys leave for college.

Ocean City FC U13 boys had a very successful weekend with two successive shutouts. Saturday May 22^nd Ocean City FC hosted Super Nova FC and the team were able to finish the game with a 1-0 win. The goal was scored by Thomas Dovell who cleverly rounded the goalkeeper after receiving a through pass from Luis Ferreira. The second game of the weekend saw an attacking display from Ocean City FC with them managing to score four goals in a 4-0 win against Rage SC.
