Cumberland Athletic club won their inaugural match against the Alamo City Battle 3:2. "We take it as a point of pride to put a marker down for all the league to see that we are not to be taken lightly, particularly at Campground Field," said manager John Ellinger after the match. The match started strong with an early 2:0 lead due to contributions from Omar Gonzalez and Captain Robbie Keane. But, at halftime the owner of ACB was heard to say, "...2:0 leads are the most dangerous..." He was not out of line, because the put their Battle on and tied the score 2:2 before Bill Hamid brought home the win for the Wild Marys.
Man of the Match is Robbie Keane for scoring the first points in the history of the team. (Which comes first the goal or the assist that leads to the goal?)
Coming up next for CAC is the first road trip in the BSL, traveling to fellow expansion side SC Canada. Director of Soccer Operations, Andy Williams, said, "It is unclear where we are going in Canada, though judging from the Beaver on the badge, we believe it is in Saskatchewan. Our bus driver says he knows where to go." With Hamid out for a scheduled international tournament break, it is likely new acquisition Donovan Ricketts will set up between the pipes. The rest of the starting lineup is still under consideration.
