Queensboro FC II Becomes UPSL Spring 2022 Division Champions

Queens, NY, July 5, 2022 – Queensboro FC II and Oyster Bay United had only faced off once before this past week, in April, with Queensboro walking away from the match with a 1-0-win courtesy of our #11 Damien Barker.

Heading into Saturday’s championship fixture against Oyster Bay, Coach Diego Gomez made two adjustments from the semi-final starting lineup, as that contest left both #45 Daniel Alzate and #5 Fernando Cohate injured and thus unfit to start again. Replacing Alzate was a familiar face, our former #1, Pol Rodriguez. #31Joshua Saavedra, who debuted in last Saturday’s seismic 6-1 win against Philadelphia Lone Star FC, replaced Cohate in his first start for Queensboro.

Saavedra wasted no time in making his presence known on the pitch, as he opened scoring in the fourth minute after shaking his defender and meeting a perfectly placed near post corner from #23 Minguk Seo in the air. 1-0 Queens.

The ensuing 15 minutes would see Oyster Bay turn up the pressure, maintaining spells of possession in our half, but falling short in the final third. In the 21st minute however, #14 Jonathan Santillan and #11 Damien Barker put on a display of excellent counter attacking football, combining for a give-and-go that started at the half line and ended with Barker open at the top of the 18. Barker proceeded to send the opposing keeper the wrong way, calmly tucking the ball into the far corner. 2-0 Queens.

Despite the two-goal deficit, Oyster Bay refused to make things easy. After many attacking opportunities thwarted by the Queensboro defense, they would steal one back with just under ten minutes in the half. 2-1 Queens.

Queensboro was quick to respond, as 2 minutes later #2 Moussa Diara threaded a ball from the right side between two defenders straight into the path of a forward charging Seo, who struck the ball into the bottom corner. Before celebrations could begin, the linesman called the play offside. After some continued back and forth, including a massive 1 on 1 save from Rodriguez in the 42nd minute, the half ended 2-1.

Queensboro would once again open scoring remarkably early, taking only 48 seconds before putting the ball in the back of the net. #14 Jonathon Santillan received the ball off a throw-in at the 25-yard line, turned and took on the man in front of him, and continued forward past another defender to his right, while muscling through one on his left. With the space he created for himself in the box, he rifled the ball past the oncoming goalkeeper and into the roof of the net. 3-1 Queens.

The remainder of the half would see Oyster Bay attempting to use their physicality to claw back into the game, trying to exploit the age difference between the two sides. Their best chances would all come in a flurry late in the game, giving Rodriguez a couple of opportunities to show his class in net. He wouldn’t have to do it all on his own though, as Diarra tracked back for a goal line clearance in the 78^th minute.

Despite Oyster Bay’s best efforts, the excellent technical ability and defensive structure of Queensboro would prove to be too insurmountable of a challenge. Our boys in purple and black held on to the lead and hoisted the UPSL Northeast division trophy after the final whistle. Hard fought and well earned.

Head Coach of QBFC II, Diego Gomez on his team performance: “The final was perfect environment for the players development. A game that is all or nothing, with fans from both teams and vs a Top opponent. We not only play well but also we had the capacity to suffer and to grind when it was needed. I can not be more proud of the team. Also winning one of the best divisions in UPSL in our first season with such a young team is an achievement we are very proud off”.

QBFC II will travel to Boston on July 9th to face Santa Cruz FC at 4PM in the first round of the UPSL national championship at Veterans Memorial Stadium.

Ruari Daly, Owner of Daly’s Pub

Age: 43

Neighborhood: Astoria

National Origin/Family From: Ireland

On May 29, 2001, Ruari (pronounced like “Rory”) arrived in New York City to visit a cousin who lived in Astoria. What was supposed to be a two week visit turned into a lifetime love of the borough.

Why did you move to NYC, and why Queens?

On May 29th, 2001 I decided to come to New York for a 2 week holiday and, long long story short, nearly 21 years later I’m still here. I had a cousin that was living here for years and on one of his trips back he invited me out to see the Big Apple, learn what it was all about. He happened to live in Astoria, Queens. That’s how I ended up in Astoria.

What was it like arriving in New York City in your early 20s from Derry, a historic Irish city, but one of less than 100,000 people at that time?

From the minute I got off that plane I was hooked. Everything was massive here. It took me a week just to wrap my head around things. How could you not fall in love with it—the hustle bustle pace of life, dodging people, dogs, bikes, cars, buses. Astoria was just the melting pot of people from every corner of the world, absolutely mind blowing. That’s how I fell in love with it.

Your bar, Daly’s Pub, brings together a great community of regulars. Tell us about the bar that inspired you to open up a spot of your own.

The local bar that I was hanging out in [when I first moved here] is called Doyle’s Corner on Broadway & 42 St. in Astoria. That bar blew my mind. You had Irish, Spanish, Greek, Croatian, Asian, Black, Brown, White – everything, even real Americans! And it was amazing because even though the bar was 70% Irish it just had a great vibe – everyone treated everyone like a family no matter who you were or where you were from. Everyone I met there, no matter where they were from, were all sound, good people. They welcomed me with open arms.

When did your love of The Beautiful Game begin?

The love for football growing up in Ireland was basically drilled into you from the day you entered this world. A day in the life would be to get up for primary school in the morning, meet up with my best friend to walk to school, and he would always have a football in his garden. There were 8 kids in his family, mostly boys, and a big football family. I think they all played. You would grab a ball from the yard and basically the 10 minutes that it would take you to walk to school you would be dribbling the ball the whole way or kicking it off the wall on the way. Then you would go to class, have a break in the morning, and rain, hail or shine you would have a mad kick about for that 15 minute break. By the end of morning break the teams were picked for lunchtime.

Sounds like football was a big part of your life in Ireland.

In our town football was part of growing up, yeah. When you finished your homework it was back out to the street to meet up with your mates. We had no watches back then so once the streetlights came on and it was dark you knew you had to get your arse home asap for dinner. There were other sports—Gaelic football, hurling, rugby—but, for the most part, everyone preferred football. Football was culture, how you met new friends, where you got your first idol, pretending you were George Best or Maradona. It’s just an inspiration for life, it gave us the drive to get up for school in the morning.

Did you ever play footy as you got older, not just as a kid?

I was useless at football, had two left feet. But just because I was shite at it didn’t mean I didn’t love watching it or love going to our team games for Derry City, which was a very rare occasion and a treat. The buzz, the songs, the chants, the abuse to the other team, the whole atmosphere, hair standing on my arms, the goosebumps. It just felt good.

Who’s your favorite team?

Growing up, my father was a die-hard Liverpool fan. It was just who you were going to support because that’s all you heard when he would speak. Before you knew what life was all about you were a Liverpool fan, or whoever your father supported, which I’m ok with because Liverpool are the best football family there is besides Queensboro FC.

Football has the power to connect us not only in the moment but through shared memory, or big losses and even bigger wins. Do you have a favorite football memory?

My best football experience was the Madrid 2019 Champions League Final, Liverpool v Spurs. I grew up with two brothers and a sister, and unfortunately my younger brother passed away a few years ago. So when Liverpool made the Champions League Final I swore to myself that I would bring my father and other brother to a Final, whatever the cost. I basically did it to pay respects to my late brother, and to share the experience of a massive game with my father and brother. I knew we might never get another opportunity and my father, at 70 years old, might never get another chance to see his team at the biggest stage in the world. It’s safe to say we had a blast and will remember the whole experience for the rest of our days.

What excites you the most about Queens having a pro team to call its own?

It’s amazing to have a football club in Queens to call our own. Queens needed something like this, especially in this day and age where football has started becoming so popular in America. I’m sure it will give kids and families an option to follow one of the best sports in the world while having all the emotion and excitement which we had growing up. It’s such an important part of life. It shows us teamwork, gives us drive for the games during the weekend, and brings us together as a community. The songs, the chants, it gives inspiration.Queens is a melting pot for many cultures from European countries, South American, Asian, all over. This team will bring us all together to watch the game we all love and cherish. It’s a universal language of love and it brings us all together no matter who you are from !!!

QBFC II Finishes the USL-A Group Stages with a 2-1 Win Over Southern Soccer Academy

Queensboro FC II entered Saturday already knowing they had clinched a birth in the Championship Game on Sunday night, but still had a job to do in their final match of the group stages. Thanks to the team’s playoff birth, Coach Diego Gomez was able to rotate his squad and give other players valuable minutes while providing much needed rest to many of the usual starters. A much deserved shoutout is in order for Head Trainer Glenn De Kler and Strength & Conditioning Coach Kashif Anthony, who have been absolutely instrumental in keeping our players in top shape through a grueling few days in Tampa.

The game kicked off under the beautiful Florida sun with a heavily rotated Queensboro FC II captained by Queen’s own #13 Juan Cruz. With nine changes to the side that beat Weston FC, it was clear that the guys needed a few minutes to gel before they could truly kick on. For the first time all tournament, QBFC II found themselves down only 12 minutes into the match. Southern worked a through ball to their striker forcing Juan to come charging out of his box in an effort to thwart the opposition’s attack. Despite his best effort, the Southern player was able to sneak the ball into the net giving the opponent’s a 1-0 lead.

As soon as this happened, #17 Joel (Jojo) Favard shouted instructions to the team and displayed some amazing leadership to ensure the boys focused and didn’t abandon the game plan. This was the youngest lineup QBFC II had ever put out, so it was crucial to have somebody step up the way he did in that moment. Jojo continued to display his abilities both on the ball and off the ball, constantly shuffling players around and making sure they operated as a cohesive unit.

QBFC II began to settle into the game, but couldn’t break the deadlock prior to halftime. At the break, Coach Diego encouraged his players to keep pushing on. They did just that and were rewarded five minutes into the half with the equalizing goal.

After cracking a shot off the post only two minutes prior, Jojo was involved yet again. This time he whipped in an inch-perfect free kick in from the right wing. The ball curled towards the back post where #3 Nick Wilson got up high to head the ball home. A much deserved goal to bring the game even at 1-1.

Southern nearly answered right back to regain their lead, but #2 Jordan Price was determined not to let that happen. He put himself in harm’s way to clear the ball off the line and keep the score line at 1-0. QBFC II thought they had taken the lead a few minutes later, when #11 Ronan Flanagan beat his man to the end line and squared the ball into #18 Caleb Taylor. Caleb collected the pass a yard out in front goal before slamming it home. The entire team, bench included, mobbed the QBFC II striker in what was an amazing moment. Sadly, there was an offside flag up from the assistant referee in the buildup to the goal deeming the celebrations premature.

There was no doubt that Queensboro FC II was hungry for the go ahead goal, which eventually came in the 58th minute. #22 Kenny Hernandez was a man on a mission, as he carried the ball up from right back and took his defender 1-on-1 to the touchline. After dummying his opponent, he was able to find enough space to squeeze the ball central into #16 Niko Vidal. Niko then played the ball into the path of Caleb, who slotted the ball into the net for the 2-1 lead. There was no doubting the celebrations this time, as they were well deserved.

12 minutes plus stoppage time remained, but the QBFC II players played with poise and maturity to see the game out. The referee’s final whistle was blown, giving the team a third win in as many matches.

Technical Director of Queensboro FC, Luis Gutierrez, is very pleased with how the team finished the group stages of the tournament and emphasizes the importance of cohesion. “We are very proud of this group. Everyone has participated and start at least one game. We were very happy to see today in the celebration of the goals that we have a great group that is a family and is pushing each other to be better. We have completed an exceptional group competition and we see the players ready to enjoy the last game in the AI Lang Stadium.”

Sporting Director Josep Gombau was extremely pleased with the performance. He said, “I am so happy with the work that the boys did today on the field. We played with a very young squad and they did very well. We played the style of football that we are working on and truly deserved this win. I am also so happy that all of our players in the squad have now gotten minutes in the tournament. This is something that is very important for us as a club.”

On the tournament as a whole, Josep said, “I think we are doing very well. We are competing and we deserve to be in the final. Tomorrow is a big day for us. We will try to work hard and win the trophy.”

The ultimate goal is now in sight, as Queensboro FC II will take on Indy Eleven in the USL Academy League National Championship game will be held at 630pm on Sunday, December 5th. The game will be livestreamed via the USL Academy YouTube page.

The entire season comes down to this. Regardless of how the final plays out, this Queensboro FC II team has undoubtedly made the borough proud.

QBFC II Beats Weston FC 4-1 to Advance to USL-A Playoff Finals

December 3, 2021 (Tampa, FL) – Queensboro FC II continued their winning ways in Tampa with a 4-1 win over Weston FC.

The National USL-A Playoff Tournament has quickly proven to be a tough test and Weston FC was no exception. With the nonstop nature of four matches in four days, there are a number of added elements to consider from the coaching staff to keep the team fit, flowing and competitive. There were 2 changes from yesterday’s win over New Mexico United with Moussa taking #3 Nicholas Wilson’s place on the back line and #17 Joel Favard slotting into midfield in place of #10 Nestor Cabrera.

From the first whistle, it was another cagey and physical battle with both sides trading blows early on before QBFC II really got a foothold in the game. The boys from Queens began to take control, but for the first 26 minutes couldn’t seem to break the deadlock. In the 27th minute that would change. Moussa was able to burst forward down the left wing before slotting the ball into #9 Damien Barker to slot home for a 1-0 lead – his 3rd goal of the tournament.

After going down, Weston FC pushed forward looking for an equalizer. Despite their best efforts, our #1 Pol Rodriguez made some key saves to bring us into the halftime break with the 1-0 lead intact.

When the match resumed in the 36th minute, QBFC II came out like a rocket. The team dominated from the off and six minutes later got their reward. In the 42nd minute, the captain, #6 Piero Elias doubled our lead. #16 Nikolas Vidal worked the ball down the right hand side and into #14 Cristian LoGrasso, who dropped it back to Piero to finish the move off by putting the ball into the back of the net.

While QBFC II continued to dominate, their momentum was momentarily halted after Weston FC managed to pull a goal back against the run of play in the 63rd minute. While less experienced teams might have had a bit of panic set in, the squad showed their resilience by maintaining their composure and not letting the momentum shift.

QBFC II quickly moved to shut the door on their opponents with an array of forward moves that resulted in the team’s third and fourth goals, effectively putting the match to bed. The third goal was the result of some wonderful play down the left from #7 Gabriel Enriquez, who controlled the ball with a wonderful touch off his heel, before beating his defender and squaring the ball for Niko to redirect into the back of the net. Niko bagged a brace just 3 minutes later, when this time Damien beat his man to similarly cross the ball across the face of goal for Niko to slot home.

Shortly thereafter the referee blew the full time whistle, not only securing three points, but punching QBFC II’s ticket into the USL Academy League’s championship game on Sunday, 12/5 at Al Lang Stadium.

Technical Director of Queensboro FC II, Luis Gutierrez, is happy with how the team is progressing thus far in the tournament. “The team is improving game after game, getting closer to the level that they have showed during the year. Weston proposed a difficult match. Playing teams with 5 players at the back is always a challenge, but I think that Diego and Pau are doing a great job helping the players to understand the opponent’s weaknesses”.

Pau Rovira Crua, Goalkeeper Coach for QBFC, believes the team’s chemistry off the field has played a key factor in achieving the positive results these first two days. “What makes me happy is not only the results we are getting on the field, but how all the boys are getting along and supporting each other off the field as well. We’re a big family and that’s one of the most important aspects of our success”.

Head Coach for QBFC II, Diego Gomez, was very impressed with how his team came out in the second half. “Weston FC were very organized in their own half. To break down this type of defense is never easy, as it requires a lot of patience. Today we displayed that patience and the reward was the four goals, the three points and securing a spot in the final. It was huge.”

The match will be streamed live at 6:30pm EST via the USL Academy YouTube channel. In the meantime, QBFC II still has one more group match tomorrow (Saturday, December 4th) at 11:00am EST against Southern Soccer Academy. We’ll be back on Twitter providing live updates throughout that match.

Until then, Vamos Queens!
