The U12 team brought home the hardware in the event designed to provide teams with a second chance at the postseason.
Tewksbury took the pitch during the Mass Cup, a tournament hosted in town with more than 50 teams of various ages. And one Tewksbury team showed the visiting teams just how it's done.
The Tewksbury boys U12 team earned a championship Sunday in the Mass Cup, which is designed to bring in teams from throughout the region who missed their league's playoffs.
