November 16, 2021 (Boulder, CO) We are still very much living in a Covid climate amidst the re-opening of public places, The Great Resignation and civilians launching into Space. Through all of life’s ups and downs Harpos OG has persevered and delivered more hardware together. The initial concept of this squad was to be a home for our alumni and veterans, but after winning the Colorado Premier League (CPL) Over 30 League three times in a row, a change was needed. This fall saw our bros embark on a new journey in CPL Elite Division (second tier after earning promotion) and take on teams with players spanning from 18 yo on up. Per standard and tradition, we went 25 games unbeaten, won 3 trophies including Vail Invitational Silver Division and finished the year on a high note with a 2-0 win over FC Denver Legends to earn promotion to the CPL Premier Division (first tier). Leading the way are Manager Ryan “Big Mac” McAleer and Kevin “Captain America” Rosser. It’s been brilliant to see this group develop and to embody our ethos Brothers, Character, Excellence. Well done in 21. Bring on 22!!
Side Before Self
October 18, 2021 (Boulder, CO) - It was a good battle in the U.S. Open Cup second round qualifier vs Peak XI on Saturday, October 16. Our squad put side before self which helped us to successfully execute our game plan. The first half was back and forth including lots of fouls and tackles while we missed some gilt-edged chances. Our patience, quality and teamwork shone through in the second half which propelled us to a 1-0 victory. Freddie Braun earned Man of the Match for his clever runs and game winning goal. Max Steinmetz earned Bro of the Match for his complete play and game winning assist. Now we advance to the third round qualifier vs Azteca FC on November 20 or 21 in what will be an epic clash.

Expect the Unexpected
September 20, 2021 (Boulder, CO ) - Sometimes there’s nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile. So many things have happened during the past several weeks with FIFA and U.S. Soccer which have led to confusion, disappointment and frustration. 92 amateur teams nationwide have felt the negative impact of the new player clearance process which hit us right before U.S. Open Cup Qualifying First Round Matches on September 12-19. We were able to cobble together our best squad possible amidst administrative challenges which were literally out of our control. Our 1-0 victory over Union Jerez on September 15 in #usoc222 was a special group performance and we couldn’t have done it without the unwavering support of our staff, players and fans. Now we shift focus back to Colorado Super League, continue with our 12 game winning streak and look forward to taking care of business vs Guadalajara on Thursday, September 23 at 8:00pm at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park Field #18. Are we ready? You know it!
Fresh Fall Season
August 17, 2021 (Boulder, CO) - It’s been an epic summer for our club. We thoroughly enjoyed training, scrimmages, games and social events together with our families, friends and fans. FC won the Colorado Super League in June with an undefeated season of 10-0-0. OG won Colorado Premier League Over 30 Division in June and the Fred Ammer 50th Annual Vail Invitational Tournament Silver Division in July. U23 ballers came in June from NJCAA, NAIA and NCAA D1, D2 and D3 universities. They trained, played and integrated well on and off the pitch then headed back to college preseasons in early August. Now we shift gears to focus on Fall Season 2021 full of friendlies, league matches and FC participating in U.S .Open Cup 2022 Qualifying Tournament. Our core is strong, our newbies are quality and our ambition is sky high. Come join us and support America’s favorite pub team as we embark on fresh journeys of development, learning and triumphs together. Photo courtesy of Kevin Pugh.
