History
Boston Cambridge Somerville Eleven began in the mind of Logan Wangsgard, looking to play for a competitive club in the area but finding it tough to join mid-season decided to start a new club. After a lot of name ideas and crest designs the club began to take shape with a name that pulls together 3 of the great urban cities in the metro area. The idea of the Eleven comes from teams like London XI and Copenhagen XI.
Boston Cambridge Somerville Eleven began in the mind of Logan Wangsgard, looking to play for a competitive club in the area but finding it tough to join mid-season decided to start a new club. After a lot of name ideas and crest designs the club began to take shape with a name that pulls together 3 of the great urban cities in the metro area. The idea of the Eleven comes from teams like London XI and Copenhagen XI.
The London XI was an association football representative team, specially created to take part in the 1955-58 edition of the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the precursor of today's UEFA Cup. It was decided to create a team especially for the tournament, using the best players from each London-based club. Membership of the team varied considerably between matches. BCS XI strives to have the best players in the metro area and the best eleven on the field.
Things really began to roll when Tom Allen moved to the area from Salt Lake City. Logan and Tom got to work improving the club details and getting things to be official. In early 2009 the club was admitted to the Bay State Soccer League and so the club began.
With a lot of work from Tom, Logan and Mike Gove BCS XI came together deciding on uniforms, new team members and our home field, Dilboy Stadium in Somerville.
The 2009 season saw ups and downs through injury and roster changes. We worked hard, especially with player/coach Darren Johnson to improve and the 2nd half of the season saw many fewer losses and a much higher goal tally. The rough stretch early on in the season was too much to overcome in the 2nd half and we did not reach our goal of promotion, finishing mid-table at a respectable 5th out of 10.
