The fixtures have been released for the 2009 fall Delco U13 Division 1 season, in which the Dragons will face some familiar opponents as well as a number of new ones.
Haverford begin the campaign Sept. 12 against Hockessin Lightning, a team they have not played since 2006. That year, the Dragons beat the Lightning twice _ once in regular season play and the other time in the first round of the playoffs.
Among the familiar faces in 2009 will be Lower Merion Rage, Concord Revolution, Radnor Deportivo and Spirit United.
New opponents include Lanco United, FC Revolution, Greater Chester Valley, Council Rock and West Mont United.
The last time the Dragons played Lower Merion they beat them in the 2009 EPYSA Indoor State Cup in January by prevailing in the championship match on penalties.
Concord has been a familiar foe throughout the years in league and tournament play. In 2008, Concord bested the Dragons to take the Whitewater Challenge title in the championship match, but Haverford beat Concord in league play to take the top spot in the league.
It was Radnor that Haverford met in the EPYSA 3 championship match last December, falling 2-nil. And it was Spirit United that the Dragons beat in the first round of the playoffs to reach that championship match.
As for the new teams, some are moving up a division, while others are moving down.
Hockessin is moving up from US Clubs 1, as are Greater Chester Valley and West Mont United. FC Revolution, Lower Merion, Council Rock and Lanco United are all moving down from a variety of other divisions.
