Getslow Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 With the announcement that FC Cincinnati would be joining the league next year and with more than three-fourths of the 2015 campaign already played, I thought a little LCFC update might be in order. Last night Louisville City beat Harrisburg 5-1. Forward Matt Fondy had FOUR goals and an assist, moving him into third place in the league in goals scored and tenth in assists. The win moved Louisville to 41 points on the season and to within three points of league-leading Rochester. The Royals are also now six points ahead of third-placed Charleston and seem ready to lock up a first round bye in the playoffs, which will begin the weekend of Sept. 26 and 27. It's been a fun season so far and I hope a few folks on the board manage to make it to one of the remaining home games: Aug. 22 vs. Charleston, 7:30 pm Aug. 25 vs. Orlando City, 7:30 pm (Friendly) Aug. 29 vs. Pittsburgh, 7:30 pm Sept. 2 vs. Harrisburg, 7:30 pm All games at Louisville Slugger Field. As I said at the beginning of the season, anytime someone comes out to their first LouCity game, I'll buy at least the first round. I hope you NKY and Cincinnati folks have even half as much fun with your team next year as I've had with this team and this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habib Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Thanks for the update. I was curious to hear what you'd have to say on that front. If I was still in NKY I'd definitely be making a trip down for a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 A little video the team put together following the July 4 game. Shows not only the stadium experience but the amazing work the Slugger Field grounds crew puts in to manage a baseball stadium playing temporary host to a soccer team. They've done a great job all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexitucky Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I despise LFC, GO FC Cincy. Getting it started early. I'm planning on getting season tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I promise our guys won't rough your boys up too bad next season. :lol2: Seriously, I'm excited to have road opponent so close. St. Louis is currently the closest team in the league and that's four hours. I'd imagine many folks from Louisville will be making the trip to Nippert next year.

Getslow Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 There's a fella playing here in Louisville named Aodhan Quinn. He's only scored two goals on the season... but when they look like this, I guess you've earned the right to wait for your spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I definitely soccer, but I just don't understand the "I'm going to run away from everyone" thing that soccer players do after they score a goal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
