    Welcome again from beautiful City Stadium in Richmond, Va.! It is a lovely sunny day just south of Carytown, and a lovely day for the Richmond Kickers to take on the Rochester (Ragin’) Rhinos.

    After getting four points in their last pair of back to back matches, the Kickers go on the road to North Carolina and lose both games, including a 4-1 loss to the Charlotte Eagles.

  • Richmond Kickers fall to the Wilmington Hammerheads

    The last time that the Richmond Kickers scored more than one goal in a game, it was against these same Wilmington Hammerheads in City Stadium, with two goals scored in extra time. Since then, the Kickers have just one goal per game, but were able to win two and tie one. With a new defensive…

    As I said in my preview, 4 points out of this road trip would have been good for back to back games. However, I expected it to be backwards to what actually happened. These results put the Kickers on 14 points out of ten game, and in 4th place so far in USL Pro. While…

  • Richmond Kickers 1:1 Harrisburg City Islanders: Lightning ends the game

    This match started with the threat of rain hanging over, and ended in the 84th minute due to an extended thunder and lightning storm. In between, however, there was a back and forth match which included alternating 15 minute stretches in which each side had the upper hand. A 1-1 tie is a fair result…
