YOUTH TEAMS

"A" Team Loses the Semi-Final Home Leg - June 14, 2009 

The "A" youth team (1990-91) lost the home leg of the national semi-final against Steaua Bucharest, 3-4. Paul Dirjan scored first for CFR with a nice shot from the edge of the box after Marian Pop and Cucuruzan both could not find the target.  Steaua then somehow managed to score three unanswered in the first half after several dreadful defensive errors. The score at the break was 1-3. The youngsters came out from the dressing room much more determined and were the better side in the final 45 minutes.

Second Youth Team Barely Misses Advancing - June 12, 2009

CFR's second oldest junior team (born 1992-1993) failed to reach the regional final, after a goalless draw against Timisoara and a 2-0 victory over CSS Slatina. Timisoara defeated Slatina 3-0, so based on a superior goal-difference they, not CFR, will move on. So, the "B" youth end their season in a somewhat disappointing manner, but they certainly played well overall and showed few signs of weakness.

"A" Youth Qualify for National Semi-Final - June 10, 2009

After a tense and very even game, CFR's oldest youth team claimed victory in the Regional Finals, defeating AS Rovinari 2-1 with Cucuruzan and Cristea scoring the goals. Due to this critical win, CFR will now play Steaua Bucharest  in the national semi-final in a home-away fixture system. For these youngsters, the following few matches could quite possibly be the most important steps on the path to professionalism. Good luck!

"A" Group Qualifies for Regional Final - June 8, 2009

The "A" group (born 1990-1991) defeated Jiul Petrosani 3-1 with goals by Marian Pop 2, and Sucala last week. In their second match, the youngsters beat CSS Botosani 6-0 and qualified for the regional final against Otelul Galati (goals by Marian Pop 2, Kiraly 2, Cucuruzan and Leoh). The final game will be this Wednesday and will decide which team participates in the national tournament. 

Group "E" Youngsters Win Cup - June 8, 2009

The "E" youth (born 1998) won the Silvania Cup, defeating FC Baia Mare, Viitorul Zalau, U Cluj, and Arsenal Bistrita, whilst suffering only one loss. The goalscorers were Lacatus 2, Moldovan 2, Lesan 1, Petrus 1, Teth 1, and Chereches 1.
