Another Successful Georgia FC Invitational in the Books
August 13th, 2007 Posted in Futbol, Georgia FC Invitational, Southeast, Georgia, Soccer
The clouds were kind to those in attendance at Day Two of the 2007 Georgia Futbol Club Invitational. Championship Sunday’s weather was a bit more tepid, allowing the players to focus more on their competition and less on overheating. Nine separate teams were crowned champions of their respective divisions - results can be found below.

In the title game, GFC faced a Norcross Fury Blue that cruised into the finals with an undefeated record and a mere seven goals against.
