90 Seconds Away From League Title
Buckingham somehow manages a come from behind TIE with Springfield in their last game of the season to finish a mere ONE POINT ahead of the Freedom for the Intercounty U17F Division 1 title. No one realized it at the time, but the game tying goal by Buckingham with 90 seconds to play against the Freedom turns out to be the slim margin separating the Freedom from the division crown. Once again the Freedom posts an excellent season of soccer. Fox Chase Freedom...Rocks...Again!!!
