RICHMOND KICKERS
Kickers win third straight title
Posted: Sunday, September 4, 2016 8:15 am
Right before the playoffs began third year manager Mike Korrigan announced that at the end of September he would be leaving the club.
"These three years have been amazing, I would love to continue coaching here but honestly my time has past, I have done so much for this club and now it's time for someone new to take over."-Mike Korrigan. We had no doubt that Richmond would win the league again but we were not expecting this.
The match was so close that it had to go into penalties. Unlike last year when these two meet this was a much tighter affair. The key missing player was striker Luke Lekics who was called up for World Cup Qualifying.
In the shoot out it was defender Chris Korb who would be the hero as he scored the clinching goal. With this the Kicker have not lost a match in 81 USL PRO matches. It was a bitter sweet fanalie for a few other than Korrigan. This was John Thorrington and Sacha Gorres' final match as they will be retiring in a few weeks.
The Kickers will be returning to preseason sometime in January with a new manager. Will this person have the same success as Mike Korrigan did? We wish him luck in the future.
