Rust Belt United

WHAT A FEELING

3-1 L to @nWo4LifeFC. Good luck to them in the finals next week, well deserved win. A season of what ifs but still an unforgettable one. Big thank you to @OfficialBDSL for another great season, RBU will be back stronger than ever in 2026. #RBU4Ever #Family

Another chapter gets written in the RBU-NWO rivalry today. This time with championship Sunday and potential promotion implications. One will fall, one advances, last man standing match.

@BangarangBDSL Appreciate the high praise! You guys showed us the way, a perfect mix of adding talents but still keeping a great culture. These trophies are great but hard not to miss RBU and Bangarang in west Seneca battling for 8th place 🤙🏻

Whether you like RBU or not- credit has to be given for the turnaround over the last few years. Congrats to the lads

We'd like to extend our congratulations to our fellow cup champions @_Sharpshooters and @RustBeltBDSL. We hope you all enjoy your nights as well.

@bflonight @_Sharpshooters @OfficialBDSL Man, from fist fighting us in the Matthews Cup in 2023 to now Wood Cup Champs, that’s growth right there, well done boys 🫡

@RustBeltBDSL @_Sharpshooters @OfficialBDSL Love that our name from 2023 isnt on it yet

Would’ve been so easy to chalk the season up but when setbacks happen, you either stay down or you get up. Rust Belt always gets up, no matter the odds. Shoutout to Sean who teamed with Ian and wanted this one badly. What a run, more work to do, still so proud of this team.

Heritage. Legacy. Family. It’s what the Matthews Cup is all about. The Reds are a hell of a team and played with extreme heart. Honored and privileged to be Matthews Cup champions. #Family

5-0 Forfeit Loss to @bflonight2. Congratulations to @WNYPhoenix for gaining promotion, well deserved. Matthews Cup semifinals on Thursday vs our old friends @celticclassic92. #RBUvsTheWorld

@WNYUnitedSC @Sjapanther73 @OfficialBDSL @celticclassic92 @NCollinsunited @QC_Mavericks Ref clearly communicated to both captains before kickoff that it would go straight to PKs after 90. Late game at Tapestry, im assuming we only had the field for a certain amount of time.

@Sjapanther73 @OfficialBDSL @celticclassic92 @NCollinsunited @RustBeltBDSL @QC_Mavericks Some cup games go straight to kicks after regulation. Depending on how much time is available for the game. But that is supposed to be communicated with the captains/managers by the refs before kickoff
