To all Williamsburg Legacy Supporters:

 

Welcome to the new season for the Williamsburg Legacy, your Premier Development League Team that represents the Peninsula area. It is now only 6 days until our home opener against West Virginia Chaos. In our inaugural year in 2002 the Legacy were the Mid Atlantic Division Champions and in 2003 and last year we were the runners up. This years’ team again has a decidedly local flavor with several former Williamsburg Soccer Club players and players from the College of William and Mary. There are also two foreign players that will give the team a certain flair. The remainder of the squad this year is made up of players from colleges in Virginia and North Carolina. For a full list of the roster please go to our main Williamsburg Legacy web site at www.williamsburglegacy.com.

 

Former Williamsburg Soccer Club players in the squad this year are led by Brannon Thomas (College of William and Mary), Charlie Howe (Virginia Tech), Robbie Wright (University of Virginia), Galen Small (Christopher Newport University), Justin Madrid (Campbell University), Andrew Hoxie (College of William and Mary), Brock Hughes (Christopher Newport University), Shawn Trueblood (Christopher Newport University), Daniel Fogarty (Christopher Newport University), Matt Page (Christopher Newport University), Bryan Davis (Christopher Newport University), and Jon Anderson (Christopher Newport University).

 

Returning players include Goal keeper John Connelly (Old Dominion University), Clayton Voss (College of William and Mary), Ado Fazlic (Old Dominion University), Charlie Howe (Virginia Tech), Justin Madrid (Campbell University), Galen Small (Christopher Newport University), Brannon Thomas (College of William and Mary), Ricardo Valverde (Virginia Commonwealth University) and Robbie Wright (University of Virginia) . There will also be 22 new faces in the squad this season. For a full list of the roster please go to our main Williamsburg Legacy web site at www.williamsburglegacy.com.

 

The Legacy will play an 16 game season with 8 home games and 8 away games. There will be five teams in the Mid Atlantic Division: Raleigh CASL Elite, Carolina Dynamo, West Virginia Chaos, Richmond Kickers Future and Williamsburg Legacy. The five teams will vie for the top two spots in the division that will assure a place in the play offs. A full schedule can be found on the web site. Tickets for games can be purchased either on game day or at the Williamsburg Soccer Club office. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children under 18.

 

The team will again be coached by Richard Butler, Director of Coaching for the Williamsburg Soccer Club. He will be assisted by Johnny Kamara. Butler has led the Legacy to the play offs in all three seasons the team has been in existence. During the 2002 season the Legacy was 14-4-0, in 2003 the team was 10-6-2 and in 2004 10-7-0 losing each year in the first round of the play offs.

 

Butler said: “We are all looking forward to getting back home and playing at Busch. The squad again will be very solid. If we stay healthy and we get some breaks I think we will be in with a shot come the end of the season. It’s a tough division with any one team able to beat any other team on any occasion. It was very tight at the end last year and I expect the same again this year.”
