PITTSBURGH (April 6, 2017) – The Keystone Derby Cup, presented by K&L Gates and the Pennsylvania Lottery, will continue this season, as both title sponsors have announced their renewal for the 2017 campaign.
The renewal marks the second-straight season that K&L Gates, a global law firm, and the Pennsylvania Lottery will be sponsoring the Keystone Derby Cup.
Created prior to the 2015 season, the Keystone Derby Cup highlights the long-standing rivalry between the Pittsburgh Riverhounds and Harrisburg City Islanders. The clubs have met a total of seven times since the cup’s inception, with the Hounds capturing the cup in its inaugural season before seeing the City Islanders win it for the first time in 2016.
Pittsburgh and Harrisburg will face off for the first time in 2017 later this month at Highmark Stadium. The match is the first of three on the season and is set for 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 29. Tickets are still available for purchase at www.riverhounds.com. Fans can also follow all the action live at USL Match Center.
