Rough Riders to Face Off Against Ocean City Barons

June 16, 2005 - United Soccer League Championship (USL)
Long Island Rough Riders News Release


The Long Island Rough Riders will play the Ocean City Barons on June 29th, 7:30 PM at Carey Stadium, South New Jersey in the 2nd round of the US Open Cup.

The PDL side primarily made up of college players came through convincingly in a very physical battle against a more experienced NY Greek American Atlas Soccer Club, 3-0 in the first round of the US Open Cup.

The Rough Riders last faced the Barons three years ago in what was the Jersey sides last game at Ocean City for 3 years. The teams played out a 2-2 draw on that occasion. It is therefore something of a nice soccer coincidence that in their first year back in Ocean City we get to play them again.

The Long Island Rough Riders 2005 Year Book is now on sale. Packed with interviews, features and profiles it is this season's must-have soccer gift. Call the Rough Riders office for further details.

This weekend the Rough Riders will travel north to face the New Hampshire Phantoms on Saturday, June 18th at 7:30 PM. The game will be the second meeting of the two teams this season, with the Rough Riders taking the first match 2-1 at home. The Rough Riders will look to get back in the win column after their loss against the Harrisburg City Islanders last Saturday.

Next week will be our most exciting week of soccer yet! The Rough Riders will take on the Western Mass Pioneers at Mitchel Field on Wednesday, June 22nd at 7:30 PM. Later on in the week, the Rough Riders will face the Northern Virginia Royals in the second half of a double header with the Lady Riders. Kickoff for the Lady Riders versus the Western Mass Lady Pioneers is at 5:30. For ticket information visit our web site at www.liroughriders.com or call the office at 516-622-3900. Come out this weekend for a double dose of Long Island soccer!
