The 2011 Season has not even started and the Sacramento Gold are already winning! The Sacramento Gold played an exhibition double header Saturday at the Davis Legacy Soccer Field, against the Cosumnes River College team and the Davis U-23′s (aka Under 23). It will be no surprise to the loyal Gold Fans that the Gold one both matches (4-0 and 2-0 respectively).
The games gave the team some more experience with the old and new players playing together, and gave the coaching staff another look at the players before the final cut for the season opener next weekend in the bay area. The Gold will play the Bay Area Ambassadors at Chabot College in Hayward, CA on Saturday April 9th at 7pm. Should be a good game, we had some trouble with the Bay Area team last season, but eventually beat them when it counted in the playoffs.
The team’s first Home game will be on Sunday April 17th at 5pm at River City High School Stadium, (MAP) where the Gold will face off against the Hollywood Hitmen a new team to join the NPSL this season.
