June 3, 2021-The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) has been waiting two years to play the State Cup finals as what is normally an annual event was not played last spring because of Covid.
19 games will be played during the weekend––10 on Saturday, June 5 and 9 on Sunday, June 6––to determine the champion teams in Eastern New York. All 19 games will be played at a neutral venue, Stringham Park in LaGrange. The teams who have reached the finals come from all over, from Long Island, New York City, Westchester and Hudson Valley up to Albany and Utica.
The crowned State Open Cup champions qualify for the East Regionals from June 25 to July 1 at Hammonton, New Jersey as part of the National Championship Series.
