The championship game was played in the late afternoon on Sunday against the Belleville Sharks. Linden was able to conquer them again with ending score of 2-1, leaving Linden undefeated for the tournament and earning them the title of Match Fit Academy / Montclair United Soccer Club Summer Kick-Off Tournament 2015 Champions for their division. Great job boys!
