The first 200 families the the Bucks-Kings Saturday game will receive a FREE Bucks scarf or American flag.

Pontiac, MI (July 2, 2008) - The Michigan Bucks begin their home stretch run to the finish of the regular season with a holiday weekend rematch with the Cincinnati Kings this Saturday, July 5 at Ultimate Soccer Arenas (7:30 kick off). The Bucks (10-1-0) look to keep their Premier Development League (PDL) leading record intact when they face their rivals south of the border; the same team they defeated in May 1-0 on a last minute strike by Kenny Uzoigwe. To honor our country and our hard working local team, the first 200 families that enter Ultimate Soccer Arenas on Saturday night will receive their choice of a full size American Flag or the brand new limited edition Michigan Bucks team scarf (each product is $15 at the merchandise table). "We want to fill the arena with fans waving American flags and Bucks scarves after each Michigan goal," said Kyle Karns, President of Soccer Operations. "We also appreciate our fans sharing some of their valuable holiday weekend with our players, who are all away from their families while they play with the Bucks during the summer."

Tickets for this Saturday’s match are $14 VIP reserved, $10 Adult reserved (16 and over) and $5 Youth reserved. Children 5 and under are always admitted free to Bucks games. After a long 10 day layoff from league play, the Bucks are chomping at the bit and ready to add some fireworks of their own to Ultimate Soccer on July 5. The team will be without team captain Mike Holody, who is training in Brazil with the University of Michigan’s college team. Also missing the match for the Bucks are Michigan teammates Alex Morisset and Mauro Fuzetti. Bucks head coach Dan Fitzgerald has already made his tactical changes to cover for the missing players and feels his team will be more than ready after consecutive training sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. "I look for our offense to come out on fire this Saturday. We owe our fans some goals in our home stadium, and the boys are all healthy after last week’s long layoff since the victory in Chicago last Wednesday night," said Fitzgerald.
