Freedom Cup Goes to Battle

6 - 1 Result Against Zenit Seals Trophy

The final match in the Freedom Cup will pit Zenit against CSKA but neither club can claim the Freedom Cup. That is thanks to the three braces netted by Alamo City this weekend. Kei Kamara, Eric Hassli, and Theirry Henry ensured that this season would garner some hardware for the Battle.

Return of Poor Form

Battle Have Nothing Left After 10pt Explosion

The Alamo City Battle have come into the first match of their 4th of July double header on their worst run of form in team history. For the first time ever, the club has failed to score in two consecutive matches. After putting up 10pts (5 of which counted on the score sheet) the Battle haven't come close to finding the back of the net since. That has cost the Battle dearly as they dropped the second leg of the BSL Classic and have once again seen the trophy go to the Gunners. Following that disappointment, the Battle failed to capitalize on a prime chance to garner 3pts in the standings against Hillcrest United. Now Alamo City finds itself on the outside looking in on both the Playoff and Major's Cup races.

The 4th of July weekend will give Alamo City the perfect shot at reclaiming their form and their place in the table. First they'll have to take care of Alliance FC and then the Pennsylvania Stoners.

The Lineup for the FIRST match (6/29 - 7/3) is as follows:

Plata
Hassli
Henry
Sapong
Kamara
Alhassan
Lenhart
Jackson

Kennedy

Brettschneider
Nazarit
Paladini

Rimando
Feilhaber

The lineup for the SECOND match (7/4 - 7/10) is as follows:

Plata

Kennedy
