In this episode of The Final Whistle, we sit down with Head Coach Darren Sawatzky to unpack a rollercoaster stretch for the Richmond Kickers. From the thrilling 4–4 draw against Westchester (featuring a dramatic last-minute goal from Josh Kirkland) to the tough USL Cup loss against Louisville City, we dig into what’s clicking and what still needs fixing.
