Vita Inter Striker wins league title
Vita Inter striker Pietro Cutrona was named the league's leading goal scorer at the culmination of the season on Tuesday, September 5. Pietro proved to be nearly unstoppable throughout the campaign, creating chances consistently using a unique combination of speed, and power that few teams could cope with. The former star goalkeeper did take some time to adjust to his new role on the team and when called upon also put in some spectacular performances in net. In the Ambassador Tournament, Vita drew defending champions Rangers in the semi-final. The game was a tight affair and ended up going to penalty kicks, where Pietro overwhelmed the opposition. The 6'5 temporary keeper was an imposing presence and unprecedently stopped every shot that he faced, going 4 for 4 and getting the victory. Vita met the same skillful Rangers squad in the Presidents Cup playoffs where the game once again had to be decided by penalty kicks. Pietro took over as goalkeeper for the shootout and made some spectacular saves to secure the victory for Vita and for a second time in as many tries. Pietro finished the season with a total of 23 markers in 18 games.

Successful Season for Vita Internazionale
Vita Internazionale over came an extremely slow start to the season to finish in a commanding third place position. Not too many teams could salvage a season, which began with 4 losses in their first 6 games an uncharacteristic beginning for the maturing B division powerhouse. The turning point seemed to be a few encouraging results; first in the Ambassador Cup finishing in third place out of 16 teams and then a solid performance at the Mark Forster Memorial in Peterborough. After these tournaments, the team went on a bit a of streak in the league winning 6 games and tying 1. Pietro Cutrona took home top goal scoring honours leading the league with 18 goals in 16 league games. Midfielder Sal Cutrona finished the year with 11 league goals in 16 games, which was enough for 5th place in the league. Newcomer Mike Pacheco played an integral role in the team suring up the center midfield and drawing comparisons to famed Chelsea midfielder Claude Makelele from Coach Vito Cutrona. Dan Bernardino also made his presence felt, joining the team late in the season and potting 4 goals in 5 league games.
