The defending champs host the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the semi-final game this Saturday at 7pm at City Stadium. Come on out and support the team! Tickets are $12/adults and $7/youth(ages 3-17) and are available at RichmondKickers.com.

To get yourself excited for the match I suggest watching our video from the championship victory last year!

• The  Richmond Kickers  kept it close until the first minute of stoppage time but couldn’t hold on. The Mexican National U-21 team scored two in the final three minutes to bring the score to 1-3.
• The  Richmond Flying Squirrels  swept the New Britain Rock Cats and leave the series with a 7-7 record. After a couple of happenings around the division the Squirrels are now in third place. The team takes the day off today before heading to Reading on Friday.

• The  Kickers  take on the Mexican U-21 soccer team tonight at 7:30 pm — assuming the game is not canceled by weather.
• The  Squirrels  finish up their series with New Britain tonight — again assuming weather isn’t an issue. The Flying Squirrels have won five of the last six an are now 6-7.

Our very own Richmond Kickers are scheduled to play Mexico U-21 National Team THIS Wednesday at 7:30pm at UR Stadium, and we’ve got two pairs of tickets to give away. Hooray!
