Follow Your Dreams




Sometimes in sports we see fairytale endings, and sometimes fairytale beginnings. This weekend a young lad from Newark, Delaware who began playing soccer at Kirkwood club started his young professional career in fantasy fashion, scoring the winning goal on his MLS debut.

“It’s a great story, from a classy kid and family. You can see the emotion from Anthony when he scored, and I can only imagine how his Mom (Kim) and Dad (Anthony) must have felt. It’s hard to script a better start really” commented Director of Coaching Ian Hennessy. “From a Kirkwood club perspective and for any young player in Delaware, Anthony’s story will serve to inspire them and in fact, we already have players that are following in his footsteps through our relationship with the Union Academy”

                                                                          

“The senior pros and staff with Philadelphia will be happy to let Anthony savor this moment, but I am sure they will remind him very quickly that they have another big game coming up this weekend against Columbus and there is work to be done. I am also fairly certain, knowing Mom and Dad, that there are family chores that don’t get done by themselves and no amount of goals can help with those” joked Hennessy.

The Union return to action, at home this Saturday at 2pm against the Columbus Crew. Come out with your Kirkwood banners to support Anthony.
