Annapolis Blues Recap: From Blowout to Blown Call

Sam Huston and Hiram Wainwright break down a wild Week 4 for the Annapolis Blues: a dominant 5-2 win over Hill City FC followed by a controversial 3-0 Father's Day loss to defending Chesapeake Division champs NoVA FC. Enzo and Dan Karsten each notch braces in the win over Hill City, with exclusive post-match audio from both. Then it's a tougher conversation, as Sam and Hiram dig into a contentious set of officiating decisions in the NoVA match, including a disputed penalty and second-yellow sending-off in the 76th minute that flipped the game on its head. The guys talk through the no-call on NoVA's similar challenges, check in on the current Chesapeake Division standings, and look ahead to a stacked schedule: Santo Laguna on Tuesday, at Bethesda on Wednesday, and the much-anticipated MD Derby vs. Christos on Saturday. Up the Blues!

Annapolis Blues Recap: Two Bad Beats and a Father's Day Forecast

It was a brutal week for Annapolis Blues FC. Hosts Sam Huston and women's correspondent Bella break down back-to-back road losses: a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat at Loudon United where Ben Madore's extra-time equalizer wasn't enough to save the Blues from a late collapse, followed by a frustrating 1-0 loss at Christos FC where the offense couldn't find the net despite a livelier second-half push. Hear from Matt Lenert and Ale Carrillo in player spotlight segments, plus Sam's post-match conversation with coach Colin Herriot after the Loudon heartbreaker. Then Bella takes over for the Women's Club segment — breaking down the 3-3-1 squad sitting in 3rd place in the Chesapeake League, previewing the final stretch of all-home matches, and weighing in on the playoff push against a red-hot VDA squad. Plus: which players Bella's still hoping to land an interview with before the season wraps. It's a big Father's Day weekend

Annapolis Blues Recap: Lionsbridge and PFA

Naptown Blues Fancast covers the full swing of emotions that is USL2 football. Wednesday brought East Coast semifinalists Lionsbridge to NMCMS, and the result — a 2-0 defeat — was hard to argue with. The Blues controlled possession and put up 6 shots, but none of them truly tested the keeper, and a quickly taken short corner early in the second half effectively ended the contest. Sam and Hiram don't sugarcoat it. We also get to know a couple of new faces: Brazilian newcomer Enzo DeAlmedia and substitute Ollie Snowden, one of the few bright spots on the night.
Saturday was a different story entirely. PFA came to town and the Blues were ready — scoring inside three minutes through Rich Monath, surviving a lightning delay, and then absolutely running riot for a 7-0 final. Penalty goal from captain Tyler Gabara. A cheeky chip from Roshawn Panton. Two rockets from substitute Caleb Pritchett. And a hat trick to close it out for Rich Monath. Crabtown Blues showed up loud for a wings-and-hair-metal tailgate and never let up. Post-match audio from Gabara, Pritchett, and Monath included.
Sam also previews the playoff picture and the road ahead — Wednesday at Loudon, then Christos the following Monday.

Annapolis Blues Recap - A Tale of Two Matches

You'll hear directly from the players and coach this week post-match audio from the pitch, straight from the people wearing the badge. Then Sam and Hiram dig into the first two matches of the season and what they're telling us about this Blues squad.
Match two at home ended 2-0 VBU — a result that didn't reflect the chances created or the effort put in. Defensive miscues, a phantom no-call on a penalty, a crossbar rattle on the best chance of the match, and a growing yellow card collection made for a frustrating ninety. The Blues are adjusting. The pieces are there.
Up the Blues.

Annapolis Blues 2026 Pre-season - Coach Colin Herriot

A new season of Annapolis Blues soccer is also most here! Sam Huston and Hiram Wainwright are back in the studio, and they're kicking off the new season with the gaffer. Annapolis Blues FC head coach Colin Herriot comes into the studio to break down Year 1 in USL 2, what he learned, and what this club is building toward in 2026.
They get into the moments that defined last season — the four-games-in-eight-days grind, the road losses that hurt, and why the boys walking across the field to thank a handful of travelling supporters after a brutal week said everything about who this group is. Coach Herriot talks about a 36-man roster built depth-first, recruiting to a profile from goalkeeper to striker, and why a Chesapeake Division that just added three new clubs is only going to make everyone better.
There's also a winter trip to Rio, a conversation about tactical cycles and modern football identity, and a genuine belief that the connection between this team and this city is something worth protecting — and building on.
We're drinking Navy Hill tequila soda — women-owned out of Richmond, VA, and great for the parking lot, Hiram's drinking a hint of lime. Sam's on grapefruit. Season 4 tastes good.
Up the Blues. 💙
