The Batavia Community Soccer Fields open tonight and host their first game which is a Rochester District Soccer League 2nd Division Men's game between Central Western United and the Rochester Rockets. Central Western United is a team based out of Genesee County that is run by Alex Taille and Chad Flint and features many players from Genesee and Livingston Counties as well as some players from in and around the Monroe County area.
The game is at 6:30 and I would like to welcome anyone interested in seeing some great amateur soccer to stop out and see the game. Central Western United won the 3rd division last year and was promoted to the 2nd division where we have continued our strong play remaining near the top of the table. CWU also knocked off Red Stripe of the 1st division in the league cup before falling to Bristol Valley in the 2nd round.
CWU features many local college players on its roster. I am on my way out to get ready for the game and will post more information about the team later on including a full roster.
I would like to thank everyone involved with the Batavia Community Fields for providing us with a great place to play our home games, especially Ted Hawley who has worked with me to assure that we have a place for our Men's and Women's team to play our home games.
If you come out to the game stop and say hi, I wear number 3 and usually play at either left or right back (defense for you non-soccer people).
