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.
Coach shares insight on the continued rise of Kirkland, the backline struggles that have led to recent high-scoring affairs, and what it means to finally earn a result in Chattanooga — even if it came on a soggy, storm-hit pitch.
We also touch on Beckett Howell’s first start, Nils Seufert’s stunning free kick, and look ahead to a stacked schedule with Spokane, Westchester (again), North Carolina FC in the Cup, and Texoma.
Plus, Coach gives his thoughts on the newly announced friendly against La Liga side CD Leganés — a huge moment for the club and the fans.

In this episode of Rivercity93, we dive into a busy week for the Richmond Kickers both on and off the pitch. First up: the Kickers announce a mid-season friendly with La Liga side CD Leganés, who bring some international flair—and American ownership—to City Stadium this summer. We break down what this matchup means for the club and the community.
Next, we explain the new FTC rule on ticketing transparency. Wondering why your ticket price looks a little different? We’ve got you covered with a breakdown of how fees work and why this change is actually a win for fans.
We also cover the club’s latest youth signing—Jonathan Gomez from Orange County SC—and celebrate Becket Howell’s first official start. Finally, we revisit last weekend’s waterlogged 0-0 draw in Chattanooga, where even Mother Nature didn’t want to see anyone score.
Tune in for all that, plus our usual takes, updates, and listener shoutouts.
