Thoughts- Wow I didn't expect this, although to be fair, for the most part, this WASN'T the Palace first team. It was more Crystal Outhouse then Crystal Palace. I think everyone for Richmond played well to be honest. Bulow's 2nd goal was a beautiful cheeky little back heel. Ralphie put Palace's eye out with a well placed BB in the 89th minute. Then Adrian slotted home a nice goal about 30 seconds later which was nearly identical to Burke's goal half an hour earlier. Now we have a week to rest and heal up before taking on the winner of the Harrisburg- Crystal Palace first round game Wednesday night... here's hoping for 30 minutes of extra time and penalties in that one.
Good showing by the 5 or 6 Palace fans who made it down, they didn't shut up the entire 90 minutes. Good to see that in a very one sided match.
