GCDS Boys Varsity Soccer Team Wins FAA Championship

Greenwich Country Day School’s (GCDS) Boys Varsity Soccer team won the Fairchester Athletic Association (FAA) Championship on Nov. 8, defeating Greens Farms Academy 2-1 in the finals. The Tigers had home-field advantage and entered the finals after an impressive undefeated FAA season. 

At halftime, the game remained 0-0. Early in the second half, GCDS drew a penalty kick, which Dylan Ever ’26 converted into a 1-0 lead. GCDS then conceded a penalty kick to GFA, tying the game. With minutes left to play, Devin Kellan ’26 made the winning goal securing a 2-1 lead that held until the end.

“We set out to win the regular season, and achieving that with seven wins from seven games was incredible,” said Head Coach Alan Marsh. “To get a home draw in the playoffs was massive for us. The final was typically nervy, and GFA put up a great fight, and gave us some real scares. I couldn’t be more proud of our players–they have a great camaraderie and work really hard for each other. It’s a squad game and we are lucky to have real depth.”

Director of Athletics Tim Helstein praised the coaches and players: “Coach Marsh, Coach Clearly, and Coach Morant emphasized possession and teamwork from the first day of preseason, and the team they created was exactly what they had envisioned. Our players controlled the games through patience, communication, and tactical play. Congratulations to the Boys Varsity Soccer Team for making it to their third straight FAA Final and bringing home the trophy to Offit Field."
