Vidalia then came back with a 5-3 win over Liberty County to begin play on Saturday.

VRD then went on to defeat Grady County in a tough game that ended 7-6 in a shootout.

That set up VRD for a rematch with Madison County in the State Championship Game.

The 8U VRD All-Stars won the rematch against Madison County to win the State Title.

What a year it was for the VRD 8U Soccer All-Stars as they won the first ever Soccer District Championship and Soccer State Championship for the Vidalia Recreation Department.
