The Dayton Dutch Lions FC (5-2-2) travel to Louisville to play the Derby City Rovers (0-8-1) for the third time this season. The first two matches resulted in victories. The Lions continue to sit atop of the Great Lakes Division tied with Lansing United with a game in hand. Dayton are coming off a 2-0 upset loss this past weekend and need to get back on the winning track.
"This is a tricky match for us," shared Head Coach Dan Griest. "We have played Derby several times and the games are very hard fought, we are coming off a loss and we have four very tough matches remaining after tonight. We cannot look past Derby City or we might not get the result we want. One of our strengths all season has been to stay focused on the current game and we must do that today. I believe the boys are ready for a strong performance and I look forward to a great match."
The Lions will be home this Saturday, June 30 at the DOC stadium on the campus of West Carrollton High School. They host the Michigan Bucks with kickoff at 7:00pm.
Tickets are $10 adults and $6 youth, military and veterans at the gate (5 and under free). Specially priced discounted tickets are available for groups of 12 or more by calling the ticket office at 937 530 2123.
