August 24, 2011: The Warriors have been bumped up to the Tuesday "A" Division for the Summer/ Fall 2011 LA Municipal Soccer League 30+ season, paired with the likes of Hollywood United, Los Andes, Martin Fierro, FC Armenia Deportivo and GOALFELLAS. All of these squads placed in the top three of their divisions last season, with FC Armenia Deportivo capturing the playoffs cup title. The complete season schedule is now available here.
"B" Division includes: Silverlagos, Silverlake FC, Dinamo Lokamotiv, Altered Glass FC, UFA Kronos and Beercelona.
The top two squads from each division will advance to the playoff round following a regular season of 10 matches.
Apache FC again kick off their season as the home side against Hollywood United, Tuesday, August 30 at Griffith Park with a 7 PM start. The following week they will tackle a tough Martin Fierro side, also at Griffith Park with a 9 PM start.
Coached by Billy Alarcon and Rahoul Ghose, the Warriors will see at least 15 returning players, and several new additions in midfield and defense, shored up -- at least in the early season -- by the goal keeping talents of JC Salinaszelaya. Work commitments have unfortunately kept keeper Carlos Guerrero out of the picture for the coming season.
Returning players include: Nick Midulla, Richard Taylor, Mike Lewis, Richie Million, Ivan Miller, Matthew McCallum, Esteban Zelaya, Juan Salinaszelaya, Rahoul Ghose, Alex Martinez, Bryan Moore, Sammy Xaylitdet, Doug Koontz, Custis Smith and Ger McManus. Joining the lineup so far are defender/midfielders Michael Gemballa, Alvaro Ramirez, Cruz Roque and Pep Lupo. The remaining three spots are yet to be confirmed ... one of which is being held for a full-time keeper. Potential additions are Sergio Delgadillo, Rob Greene and Guillermo Herrera.
Look for this season to be highly competitive and physical as three of the squads joining Div. A had the highest instance of yellow and red cards last season.
Here's to a successful second season.
