Back again with another week of former Wizards updates. First off, congratulations to Stephen
Armstrong and John Wilson, two former Wizards who are on the Charleston Battery team that won the
USL-2 title this past weekend, beating former Wizards Edson Elcock and Yomby William 2-1 in the
final. Elcock got Richmond's goal in the losing effort.
Due to the international break and Euro 2012 qualifiers on Friday, there'll be no Premier League
or Championship football in England this weekend. Football fan James Doe saw an opportunity, and
declared Saturday, September 4th Non-League Day. So all football fans who usually support big teams
are encouraged to go and see their local non-league team in action.

The USSF Second Division entered its final full month of play with the two-way race for the top
as tight as ever.
Top spot in the second division will likely go to either Rochester Rhinos or Austin Aztex, with
the Texan club holding an advantage of having two games in hand.
If you are a fan of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup you have been to the www.TheCup.US at some point
in time. Outside of Adrian Hanauer there may not be anyone who follows this tournament like Josh
Hakala and his crew over there.
As I researched the history of the Open Cup, I noticed that so few teams have defended their
title, and in the "modern era" -- also known as the professional era -- no team has defended their
crown.
