CHELSEA Soccer Club has its own team of ‘The Invincibles’ after its under 13 side went undefeated for the whole 2016 season.
Arsene Wenger’s English Premier League title-winning Arsenal team were given the name when they went unbeaten throughout the 2003-04 season.
After finishing first in the Sportsmart South Division, Chelsea Soccer Club’s under 13s played Glen Waverley in the semi-final winning 3-2 and then went on to win the metropolitan championship against the Western Eagles defeating them 2-1.
Coach Carl Cafun and assistant coach Marius Roman have been coaching the core group for three years.
“The great parent and club support for the players has helped them achieve their success,” Cafun said.
The club’s under 18s girls team finished as runners-up in the Metro League, a great achievement since the average age of the team is 16.
Former Melbourne Victory champion striker Archie Thompson visited the club last month at the club’s annual presentation day on Sunday 18 September to hand out medals and trophies.
The Chelsea Soccer Club’s annual general meeting will be held on Monday 10 October at the Edithvale Reserve in the HD Thomas Building.
