Nice result. Oh course it's only the Royals, generally seen as the "Riverhawks" of the PSL.

Wait until you play a real team, like the Hounds!

So, how do the Jago kits look? They have a nice story on them, but no pic.

Anyhow, good result. Hope the Att. was good.

You're right about the Royals being one of the weaker clubs in PSL, but I think that's why they were a perfect opponent (especially on the road) for the team's debut game. A win in our debut is always nice and probably helps some in generating more public interest in the team.

We get to do the Charlotte-Wilmington road trip in two weekends, so with those common opponents we should get some idea what to expect when you guys (the Hounds) come to Harrisburg for our home opener.

weak team or not, it was good to see Harrisburg start off on the right foot. I hope it helps bring much support when the City Islanders debut at home. It looks like they will be very competitive this year. I look forward to seeing them when they come here to play our hounds.
