Match Report - US Open Cup Round 2, Ocean City Barons 4, LI Rough Riders 0 Thursday, June 30, 2005 By Paul O'Donnell The PDL Ocean City Barons defeated the USL Div 2 LI Rough Riders tonight 4-0 in US Open Cup Round 2 action. Actually, a cleaner touch here or there and it might have been an even bigger surprise. The Barons played their best half of the season in the opening 45 in a solid effort and put their mark on the match even though the scoreline at the half was only 1-0. The match began well for them, and the best chance in the early going fell to Adam Williamson whose strong drive forced a well executed kick save from Paul Grafer in the 11th minute. In the 17th Ruben Mingo's dangerous shot was well saved by Grafer. |

Open Cup Round 2 - Long US Island Rough Riders @ Ocean City Barons Wednesday, June 29, 2005 By Paul O'Donnell Syracuse got a stiff challenge from the young Barons in last year's Open Cup Round 2. From that point they went on a run that took them all the way to the Eastern Conference Final against eventual A League Champion (now USL Div 1) Montreal. There was another consequence of last year's Open Cup challenge that planted a seed in the minds of the Barons. Neil Holloway said it this way; “we're gonna bring an MLS side to Ocean City” and he recently told me after the win over Atlas “we're one step closer to making that come true.” Step two is next. |
