Two Earn Week Eight Honors Stephen Basso and Brian Rowland were named to the USL-2 Team of the Week for their efforts in shutting-out the Western Mass. Pioneers. Let's hope they bottled that formula for success as we face Western Mass. again Friday night in Ludlow, MA at 7:30 P.M. |
Palace Win Two, Lose One After defeating Wilmington and Bermuda by identical 2-1 scores, Palace fell to Real Maryland 1-0. The loss gives the regular season sweep to our in-state rivals. The goal in this encounter came from former Eagles forward Cecil Lewis. This marks the third game in a row versus the Monarchs that has featured a goal from one of our former players. Next up for Palace is a road encounter with league leaders Harrisburg who are fresh off a US Open Cup victory over the New England Revolution. |

Match Date With Palace UK Announced We'll be receiving a visit from our parent club, Crystal Palace London this year, with the date set for July 13. The game won't be held at our normal stadium, but rather at Regency Furniture Stadium in Waldorf, MD. It's a bit of a drive from Baltimore, but I'm sure the game will more than make up for it. We'll also be entertaining guests from London so let's be prepared to give a good accounting of ourselves. |
Palace Fall on Island Despite an 11th minute goal from Jordan Seabrook, Crystal Palace fell to the league-leading City Islanders 3-1. Harrisburg equalized before the close of the first half and sealed the deal in the closing minutes of the match with two late tallies. The late match mishaps follow an unfortunate trend as Palace has let, or almost let, several teams off the hook in the later stages of their matches. Another pattern also played out on the evening as former Palace player/trialist Brandon Swartzendruber, exchanged with Harrisburg for Ryan Pierce, netted the last two goals of the match. We have run into instances of former players haunting us this campaign, especially when facing Real Maryland. We'll be looking for the Eagles to take tonight's lessons to heart as they face-off with Harrisburg at UMBC Stadium on Friday July 10. |

Who Says Baltimore Doesn't Have a Crystal
Palace!?!
Now if only they'd clean the darn windows! |
Kante to Cleveland, Brooks to Real Maryland Just in, former Palace defender Ibrahim Kante will be joining the Cleveland City Stars for their first season in USL-1 and forwards Gary Brooks and Cecil Lewis have signed on with the new look Real Maryland. Josh Alcala, a member of Crystal Palace Baltimore's 2007 edition, has been added to the roster of fledgling USL-1 team the Austin Aztex. Alcala, a native of the Austin, TX area, gets to live his dream in his own hometown after going on a trial basis to D.C. United during 2008 before joining the Aztex's U-23 team. Sean Rush will be joining in-state rival Real Maryland for the upcoming season after spending a season in Brazil. Best of luck goes out to all of them during the 2009 campaign...when they aren't playing us anyway. |
