The Belleville Soccer Club’s Elite Landscaping & Construction U13 boys competitive team celebrated a tournament victory at the Peterborough Challenge Cup held June 18 and 19.

They went undefeated in four games, including a 3-1 victory over the Oshawa Kicks in the final, to capture the tournament title.
