Rebels Bounce Back with Impressive Win at Syracuse

The Albany Rebels bounced back from last week’s loss in their New York Cup opener by crushing the Syracuse Gaels 3-17 (26 points) to 1-9 (12 points) on Saturday at Corcoran High School in Syracuse. The victory keeps Albany’s hopes alive for the league cup. They likely need to win out, beating Syracuse next month at home and then Buffalo in August on the road, while also erasing the four point deficit from their first match. "It was great to see us bounce back only a week after such a frustrating loss," said Rebels co-head coach Ryan Moloney. "We knew we had to travel to Syracuse and play our best and we did just that. Now we need to keep the momentum up for the second half of the schedule."

Match Preview: Rebels at Syracuse (6/22)

A week after the New York Cup began for the Albany Rebels in defeat, it seems they are already facing must-win games. The first test comes this Saturday when the Rebels will travel to play the Syracuse Gaels at 12 p.m. at Corcoran High School in Syracuse. It is a pivotal match as the Rebels and Gaels are both 0-1 in the New York Cup, and Buffalo leads the competition with a 2-0 record.

The Rebels got off to a slow start, and although they settled down, could not make up the difference. At times, the Rebels showed quality, moving the ball through midfield and manufacturing good chances. But they squandered some goal scoring opportunities and point attempts. Even as Cillian Flavin knocked in some important points in the later stages, they could not overcome the deficit. The Rebels cut the deficit to three points with about two minutes left in the game, but Buffalo quickly responded with a point to put the match out of reach. "We di

Match Preview: Rebels vs. Buffalo (6/15)

The James Connolly Albany Rebels begin the New York Cup on Saturday when they host the Buffalo Fenians at 12:30 p.m. at the Plumeri Sports Complex in Albany. This marks the third annual competition for the New York Cup, being contested this year by Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse. Each team will play the other two clubs at home and away over the next two months. Albany and Buffalo’s last match ended in a draw in the 2017 New York Cup final. Because of Albany’s loss to Syracuse earlier in the day and Buffalo’s win against Syracuse immediately afterward, the league title went to Buffalo. “This is a big game for us,” said Rebels co-head coach Mark Adam. “We’ve had a great start to the season, but
