Coach George Kayal took his Mahwah Raiders boy’s U15 soccer team, supplemented with other Raiders, to Denmark to compete in the International Tivoli Cup soccer tournament in Hillerod, Denmark. Sixteen players and four coaches attended the event held over the week of July 7th. The Raiders played teams from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Northern Ireland and Uganda. In the Wiibroe Cup, a consolation tournament to the Tivoli Cup, the Raiders upset the Hillerod 2 team from Denmark in penalty shots. The trip was a tremendous educational experience for everyone. The trip even included a visit with Danish native Kasper Kurland, a former Raiders trainer.

Team Participants were: Adam Reckseit, Andrew D’Angelo, Anka Tezcan, Brian Pupel, Charles Scully, Colin Eibert, Harrison McIntire, James Kayal, Jordan Kayal, Mark Skinner, Matthew Busch, Matthew Raia, Michael Picinich, Nick Tashjian, Robert Pepper, and Zack Borglum.
