CFC Returns to ‘Fort’ Finley

June 18, 2018 By Dick Cook and Contributed Article Leave a Comment

Chattanooga FC is BACK! After a five match road trip, the boys in blue return to “FORT” Finley Stadium to take on long time rival Atlanta Silverbacks this Wednesday, June 20th at 7:30 p.m. 

CFC last played at home on May 26th, drawing New Orleans Jesters. Since then, the team went 3-1-1 and are coming home with sole possession of first place in the Southeastern standings. 

“Overall, this was a good stretch for us,” said Sean McDaniel, GM for Chattanooga FC. “Obviously we would like to have stayed undefeated, but we’re glad to be home and look forward to seeing what we can do against the Silverbacks.” 

“We got a good look at our team, and we’re starting to put the pieces together,” said Bill Elliot, head coach for CFC. “I like where we’re heading as a group, and look forward to seeing how we progress the rest of the way.”
