The Battery have a by in the first round and will enter in the second round taking on the winner from Reading United AC (PDL) v. NY Greek Americans (USASA). The match will be played at Blackbaud stadium on Tuesday, May 22 at 7:30pm.
Kudos to Nicki Paterson and Andrew Dykstra for being chosen for the USL Pro team of the week. Nicki's header and great play and Dykstra's vital saves and keeping a clean sheet were the key to their selection. John Wilson and Sallieu Bundu were also given honorable mentions.

The Battery take on Antigua Barracuda this Friday night for the first time in the Battery's history. The Barracuda's are virtually the Antigua National team, the same ones that will take on the US Men's National Team June 8 in Tampa, Florida in World Cup Qualifying.
Antigua will play the Wilmington Hammerheads on Wednesday before traveling to Charleston to take on the Battery. Following the Battery match, Antigua will travel to Trinidad to compete in the qualifing rounds of the CONCACAF Champions League. It will be interesting to see how their squad approaches the travel and the compact schedule of matches.
Up the Battery

Nice shots from the MBFC game. I hope these teams can do this every year and I obviously expect the next friendly will be a little closer.
On a Battery related note, the right back for the Mutiny was Jamal Geathers, who I think trialed with Charleston a few years ago
jamal was was here in Feb. at the invite only trials. I wish I could have gotten out there this Sunday but glad Kim did go. she has been taken photos of the Battery of the Battery for a couple years and is kind enough to share them with us!
