The group of Fury Academy players had an amazing experience this past weekend as part of the Spurs Residential Camp. On Saturday afternoon the Boys traveled to White Hart Lane as Tottenham Hotspur hosted Blackburn Rovers. The Fury players were made part of the pre-game ceremony as they carried a 'Support England World Cup Bid' flag across the field in front of 35,000+ fans. The Boys then moved up to some special box-seats that the Spurs had provide for the Fury to take in the game that saw Tottenham prevail 3-1 - for many of the boys this was the first professional game that they have attended.

After an overnight flight from Ottawa, the Fury group of U11, U12 and U13 players have checked into their home for the next week - the brand new Peter Harrison Lodge at Gilwell Park near Chingford, London. Despite some jet lag, the Boys had a quick lunch and were soon enthusiastically on their way to their first practice with Spurs Academy coaches. The Boys will sleep well tonight! The week, designed to have the boys experience what it is like to be a Spurs Academy player, will continue tomorrow with a visit to the Tottenham Hotspur v. Blackburn Rovers game at White Hart Lane.

The Ottawa Fury U12 Boys (Red) captured the 2010 Coliseum Indoor U13 Boys Title on Wednesday night after posting a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Inukshuks. The Fury Boys (Red) posted a remarkable 13-0-2 record (W-L-D) for an undefeated regular season and top spot in the standings. The boys then posted playoff victories over the Storm (5-4), Capital United (5-1) and the Inukshuks (4-3) to take home the championship. Not only did the boys play some impressive soccer throughout the course of the season, but they finished the regular season with a goal difference of +61.

The Canadian Women's National team captured their second Cyprus Cup championship in the past three years after defeating New Zealand 1-0 thanks to a 71st minute strike from former Fury W-League midfielder Diana Matheson. After playing to a scoreless draw through 45 minutes that saw Canada own most of the chances, they took complete control in the second half and made goalkeeper Karina Leblanc's job very simple.

Fury Youth graduate Christina Julien started for Canada and while she failed to score for the first time in this tournament she certainly remained a threat on the field. Julien's 3 goals, which all proved to be game winning goals helping lead Canada to a 3-0-0 record in the round robin and a date in the championship final for the third consecutive year. Canada had won the title in 2008 before falling to England in last year's championship game.

It was exactly a year ago that Fury Youth graduate Christina Julien first donned the Canadian colours and set foot on the field to represent Canada at the Cyprus Cup. There, Julien achieved what many only dream of doing - scoring in her first game, on her first shot no less. Now, returning to the Cyprus Cup a year later she has led Canada back to the Championship final for a third consecutive year.

On March 3 the Canadian Women’s National team will face New Zealand in the championship final thanks in large part to three crucial goals from Christina Julien, better known as Corky to her teammates. All three goals proved to be game winners in victories over Switzerland (2-1), reigning Cyprus Cup champions England (1-0) and South Africa (2-1). 

The Canadian Soccer Association announced earlier last month the 24-player roster to represent Canada at the Cyprus Cup. One-third of Canada's roster is made up of current and former Fury W-League players that include Robyn Gayle, Christina Julien, Diana Matheson, Carmelina Moscato, Marie-Eve Nault, Kelly Parker, Sari Raber and Rhian Wilkinson.

It is with this Fury firepower that the team currently finished round robin with a perfect 3-0 record - (after beating South Africa 3-0 earlier today).  Returning Fury W-League player Christina Julien has been red-hot throughout the tournament, scoring against South Africa while also bulging the twine in the 2-1 victory over Switzerland and netting the lone winner in a 1-0 victory over England.

Earlier in February it was announced that former Fury SYL and PDL player Edson (Eddie) Edward had been drafted to FC Dallas of the MLS.  This week saw Edward make strides towards appearing for the squad in the 2010 MLS season - battling it out in pre-season training camp for a spot on this summer's team.

Edward has only been with FCD for a few weeks but has enjoyed his time to date.

Christina Julien's 9th minute tally was all that Canada needed en route to their 1-0 victory over the reigning Cyprus Cup champions from England. The goal is Julien's second of the tournament and second game winner as Canada has now earned a spot in Wednesday's Cyprus Cup Final. Julien has has tremendous success at the Cyprus Cup over the past two years. Last year she tallied her first international goal for Canada, in her first-ever game, on her first-ever shot. Fast-forward a year and Julien is back at it again and now how three goal in international play for Canada. Julien and her teammates will close out round-robin play on Monday against South Africa.

The Opening Day of the Cyprus Cup kicked off on Wednesday with all 8 teams in action that saw 12 Fury representatives in action for their respective countries. Canada opened group play against Switzerland and found themselves behind 1-0 after Lara Dickenmann put the Swiss ahead in the 23rd minute. Only days after tallying her 100th career international goal, Christine Sinclair knotted things up 3 minutes later on a penalty kick and the Fury's Christina Julien, who notched 11 goals in the W-League in 2009, slotted home the winner early in the second half (53rd minute) to give Canada a 2-1 victory. Canada will now prepare to face last year's tournament champions, England, who were 1-0 victors over South Africa on Day 1.
