BRADFORD, PA – Having just over a week until the ninth annual NY/PA Corporate Cup Soccer Showcase, it’s time to meet the teams and find out who to watch out for.
As far as local talent goes, Port Allegany leads the pack, being one of four teams to send multiple representatives to the all-star game. Although they don’t have the numbers such as St. Marys and DuBois, both of which hold six roster spots, respectively, the Gators will see one of their own as a team captain for the Pennsylvania Gold Team. On the Silver Team, which kicks off the action on Sunday, July 27, Port has another three of their own taking to the pitch. Bradford, on the other hand, will send one player to both the Gold and Silver teams as they look to show out for their home town fans.
The Silver match is set for a noon start time at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s newly renovated field, while the Gold game will take place at 5 p.m.
See below for a full breakdown of the Pennsylvania Boys Gold and Silver roster:
