Genesee Amateur Soccer Association held its annual Round Robin Tournament for the U8 Division, Wednesday July 30 at Lions Park. More than 300 players and spectators were treated to a surprise visit from Rochester Rhinos Midfielder, Leslie “Tiger” Fitzpatrick. “Tiger” didn’t allow the rain to prevent him from enjoying the events. He walked the fields talking to players and coaches, signing autographs and posing for pictures with the kids through the entire evening. One young Rhinos fan was overheard saying “this is the best day of my entire life” commenting on having “Tiger” watch him play. GASA was praised by Fitzpatrick and Rhinos representative Rich Randall for running such an enthusiastic youth program.
