Because the other team only had 8 players present at the start of the game Saturday, the 6th/7th grade had the result of their game reversed, awarding them with a win instead of a loss.
According to CYO rules, a minimum of 9 players need to be present to start a regulation soccer game, so therefore the game that was played was nothing more than a scrimmage.
Referees are not suppose to officiating scrimmages, and should not have given either team an option of playing an official game.
Teams are allowed to scrimmage after the game is forfeited.
With the win, the 6th/7th grade's record sits at (2-0).
