The Final Whistle ep. 2
from Rivercity 93 Hosted by Rivercity 93
We're back for Episode 2, and this week we sit down with Richmond Kickers Head Coach Darren Sawatzky to unpack a rollercoaster run of form. We break down the highs and lows from the last five matches—including the US Open Cup exit to Virginia Dream, two league wins, and a pair of tough losses—with the Kickers still holding strong in second place. We spotlight the red-hot form of Darwin Espinal, the emergence of Maxi at left back, and Josh Kirkland’s impact up top. Coach also shares his thoughts on USL’s decision to introduce promotion/relegation in 2027, and gives us a look ahead at the next three matchups: Westchester at home, Louisville City in the Jagermaster Cup, and Greenville back at City Stadium. Plus, we check in on the squad’s health and how the group navigates this early part of the season. If you’re a Kickers fan, this one’s packed with insight you won’t want to miss.
