After a hard fought 90 minutes, Beach FC came out on top 2-0 after surviving relentless pressure from Richmond United in the 2nd half. Sam Braidwood was in goal for the clean sheet while Will Jennings and Ryan Walsch both scored for Beach FC.
Will Jennings
Will Jennings
Will is a shifty outside forward who has a knack for scoring that cannot be overlooked. He loves to attack wide and is technical wizard in the final third. Knocked in the game winner for Beach in their 2-0 win over Richmond United. Looks to goal first but is also a great distributor in the box.
Andrew Richmond
Andrew Richmond
Andrew was ECNL Mid-Atlantic First Team All-Conference for the 2021-22 season and plays up a year on the 06’s. A box to box super versatile midfielder who plays both attacking and defending positions. Outstanding 1 v 1 ability, looks to take on defenders and can get off a shot quickly in tight spaces. Makes the game look easy at times.
Samuel Braidwood
Samuel Braidwood
Sam is a technically and tactically sound keeper who is active and has good size. Has helped lead Beach FC to a 3-0-0 start while posting a 1.00 GA. He is a physical presence in the box and not shy about initiating contact to win the ball. Communicates well with his back line and Beach FC builds out of the back through him. Very comfortable with the ball at his feet.
Tobechukwu is a big physical forward plays the traditional 9. Good with his back to goal, he has a quick powerful turn and then looks to go forward with pace. Great aerial game, he uses his body to gain an advantage. Capable of getting off a shot anywhere in the final third.
Highlights
Carson Danner
Carson Danner
Carson plays left outside back and has the speed and cardio to get up and down the pitch. Very comfortable moving up into the attack with or without the ball. Outstanding 1 v 1 defender. Calm under pressure, he recently scored the game winning penalty (8th round) in the 2022 VA class 4 state quarterfinals for Great Bridge high school.
Griffin is a holding mid who has great vision while both defending and attacking. Looks to find space while his team is in possession and provides good options. Good 1 v 1 defending, has very quick feet and good burst of speed. He was an ECNL Mid-Atlantic first team all-conference for the 2021-22 season.
