The Atlanta

Silverbacks defeated the Lighting Club All Stars in a

spectacular preseason indoor exhibition game win of 6-3

Saturday at the Soccer Center in Fayetteville.

The game

evens the exhibition series between the All Stars and

Silverbacks at 1-1.

The

Silverbacks players put on a clinic for youth players

before the game. With a crowd of over 300 people, the

stands were packed and the excitement overwhelming.

"I

felt it was a very entertaining game for the fans. It was

good to see so many people come out and support the

Silverbacks," said general manager Mike Balson.

The

Silverbacks player roster included Iggy Moleka, Jacenir

Silva, Stillian Shishkov, Ahmed Moyeldin, Jerome Samuels,

Guy Norcott, Guy Valcourt, Sylvan Bednar, and newcomers

and local Atlanta stars Danny Care and Ramon Luna. In

goal for the Silverbacks was Mike Spurling from Columbus,

Ga. Silva, Shishkov, Moyeldin, Samuels, Valcourt and Care

were the Silverbacks' goal scorers during the night.

The

Lightning Club All Star roster included former NPSL

players Franklin Mcintosh, and brothers Mo and Caleb

Suri, both fomer NPSL All Star players. Suri plays for

the Silverbacks, but was chosen to participate on the

Lighting team for the evening. Danny Care played for the

Lightning Club as a youth player, and was able to reunite

with and play against his old team. General manager Mike

Balson and JT Batson served as referees for the game.
