Best Result ever in ENB-EliteCup

On July 2, 2011, this year’s BGCE soccer team took part in the EliteCup. We were able to achieve rank 10 out of 14 participants of about 30 programs (have a look on the nice certificate ;-)). Only the goal difference in a strong group held us after a victory, a loss and an even match from away off the quarter finals! So a steep positive gradient compared to last year’s performance (10 out of 13) 🙂 Thanks to all participants and supporters!
