Pirate SC Vs Monterrey Rayados July 2nd

El Capitano Speaks About April Antics

Dark Avenger Brendan

Wow, what a couple of weeks we have had down at the Pirates Cove me hearties.

Sunset Palapas joined us to become our away shirt sponsor and the shirt looks superb with their logo upon it. I think with it was the golden emblazoned logo that attracted the Pirates to them, either that or the Palm tree looking Palapas that reminded us of our days plundering the Caribbean island towns. Arrrrrrrrr!

The Mayor has also been getting himself involved with the Pirate gang, when he met us for a not so secret parley on the beach for some photos. Back in the day, we might have banged him on the head, took him aboard our ship and held him for ransom. But those days are past and the now alliance with the Government of Galveston stands true and strong. Jean LaFitte would be standing wide eyed at such a partnership!

This weekend returns us to the Lamar Hunt Open Cup qualifying matches and we are under no illusion as to the task in front of us. First match sees us play HFA Premier Champions for the 8th year in a row ASC New Stars. This will be a tough tie to kick off our campaign but we aim to give our all and try and swab the decks with them.

Our other scurvy games include matches against unknown teams from South Carolina and North Texas although both sides are sure to be full of talent and skill. To be this close to qualifying for the Cup, they will be good, we have no doubt about that but on our day, we can defeat them. Arrrrr the Pirates are coming!!

What else has been happening, oh yes the small matter of the Monterrey international challenge match.

The Rayados will be in town July 2 and after Wednesday nights CONCACAF Champions League victory, the temperature is rising as tickets start to sell. The win on Wednesday night saw Monterrey become the club Champions of the CONCACAF region for the second consecutive year. Like the Pirates of old, they have conquered the whole region and we look forward to welcoming them into town and celebrating a huge event for the whole City of Galveston.

Where's me rum?

Lastly, before I head off into the Sunset (Palapas) for some more rum, tickets for all our NPSL games are now available for 10 pieces of gold. Go to that interweb thingy and type in www.galvestonsocial.com to buy yours. Don't be late, don't miss out, get them quick before they disappear! Arrrrr!

Get yourself down to HASP Friday night for our first teatime tussle in the US Open Cup as we try and grab ourselves some pieces of eight. 8pm kick off.

We're Back In The US Open Cup Me Hearties!

Haaarrr harrrrrr!

We're back in the hunt for the Lamar Hunt Cup mateys!

The bigwigs at the headquarters of the Silvery Chalice have looked at our record and have granted us access to the potential golden treasures of Open Cup soccer as best runners up. Haaarrrrrrrr!

Glance your beady eyes over the details here.
