Castellano, Coventry & Chavez Selected to Presidents Cup Nationals

On Monday, June 16, the Eastern Presidents Cup hosted its final match officials meeting of the tournament—a pivotal moment often referred to as “the Big One” at regional events. This high-stakes session is where officials learn who will take the field in the Eastern Presidents Cup Finals and who has earned selection to the prestigious National Presidents Cup.

For the New Hampshire delegation, the day brought outstanding news: all four attending match officials were appointed to Final Matches, and three of the four were chosen to advance to the National tournament. The announcement capped off a successful showing and underscored the strength and professionalism of the Granite State’s officiating crew.
