DALTON, Mass. — The 30th annual CRA Just for Kicks Soccer Tournament delivered an outstanding weekend of youth soccer, featuring exciting competition, dramatic finishes, and an incredible showcase of talent from teams throughout the region.

 

With more than 140 games played over the weekend, the tournament once again demonstrated why it has become a special tradition for youth soccer in the Berkshires and surrounding communities.

The U12 Girls Division 1 championship was equally dramatic, as Dalton Blue scored an incredible goal in the final minute to capture the title.
