Pumas on the Road This Weekend in Georgia
Atlanta and Augusta Stops Will Make It the Toughest Road Trip of the Year
Thursday, June 1st @ 7pm
@ Atlanta Silverback Park
Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta- The Atlanta Silverbacks organization is a model of what the Pumas would like to follow in Palm Beach. The Silverbacks have a pro team at the USL Division 1 Level, W-League & PDL Franchises, and a youth system. As the Pumas continue to build their youth outreach, college prep and PDL programs they continue to seek and develop land for soccer complexes that will cater to their programs. The Pumas are making progress in these areas and will be making future announcements regarding soccer fields. It is the Pumas goal to have a W-League Franchise and Pro team to compliment our youth and PDL programs.
Atlanta Silverbacks New Stadium will not be open
for the Pumas match on Thursday
Atlanta is 1-1-2 with 5 points. The Silverbacks are led by forward Damone Priestly who has 4 goals. John Drammond (Scotland), a veteran midfielder has 2 assists in the early season. “Records mean nothing this early in the season. Atlanta has had a tough schedule, like us they have only lost one game.” said Pumas Coach Bobby Lennon. The Silverbacks have tied the Cocoa Expos, a team which the Pumas lost to 4-0.
Augusta Fireball
Saturday, June 3rd @ 7pm

Augusta- The Augusta Fireball are one of the more talented teams in the nation. Like the Pumas, Augusta defeated the Raleigh Elite 2-1 last week. The Fireball roster is full of National Team Pool Players and players from traditional soccer powers Duke University and Clemson University. Augusta is off to a 3-0-1 (10 Points) start this season. They also tied the Cocoa Expos. The Pumas will have to focus on several key players.
