Bielert said he is hopeful Cobleskill-Richmondville can be one of the Colonial Council’s elite teams this season.

“We want to finish in the top five for the Colonial Council,” he said. “However, we realize this season will be very competitive, and we are going to work hard to get wins. We are going to play an attacking style of soccer, with an emphasis on possession.”
