2012 BSL Cup Champions

Congratulations to the owner/operator of Rose City FC. In the clubs inaugural season, the Flyers have won the BSL Cup. In retrospect it was a dream season for the new club. After an aggressive preseason, the club debuted with a line-up failure in week 1. After the early mistake, the owner got organized and won 3 straight matches including a win over the 2011 BSL Champions (CD Gunners).  Rose City made the most of its early offense, or lack of it, by winning 4 games between weeks 6 and 11, without scoring more than 2 points. Three of those matches were 2-0 wins, and one was a 1-0 win. While hardly impossing, these wins allowed the club to stay in the top 4 of the standings. Lucky? That's up to the fans to decide. What those early wins did do is give the Flyers time to improve on the clubs offense which it did to close out the year. The stats don't lie. Rose City in 2012 is a great club. Cleverly built and consistent and highlighted by its ability to avoid a losing streak. In the playoffs, the Flyers dominated outscoring its opponents 11-2. Rose City are the first BSL Champions since 2009 to not qualify for the Majors Cup in its championship season.
