Rolling Back The Years. Initiated Champs 02/03 and 03/04


Initiated Champions Season 2002/03


Initiated Champions Season 2003/04

It's always imensily fun to look back at past Initiated Team rosters and see where these 13/14 year old kids are now along the Youth Set-up, particularly the 2003/04 Initiated Champions who are just now graduating to the Junior squad 27 months later after a 2 year stop at Juvenile level where they won 2 National titles back to back.

Ricardo Fernandes and Fábio Ferreira since then transfered to Chelsea.

Bruno Matias, Vivaldo Arrais, Adrien Silva now starting their 1st year as Juniors.

Valter Fernandes who has since then "moved" to FC Porto.

"Artilheiro" André Cacito who was top scorer in 03/04 and is also one of the Junior Forwards this season.

The 2002/03 Team which has given us Rui Patricio, Daniel Carriço, Tiago Pinto, João Martins, Bruno Matias and Fábio Paim was Champion with 92 out of a possible 102 points with 29 wins and 5 draws in 34 played games and 152-22 in goals and that I recall of the top of my head no Initiated Team has matched these numbers in the last 5 years, not as many points, not as many goals.
