The Harrisburg City Islanders and Pittsburgh Riverhounds announced on Monday the 2016 edition of the Keystone Derby will be presented by K&L Gates and the Pennsylvania Lottery. The annual rivalry series between the clubs kicks off this Saturday at Highmark Stadium.

Last season, the Riverhounds claimed the rivalry trophy after taking the season series three wins to one. Among the highlights were two thrilling comebacks, the first of which saw Pittsburgh overcome a two-goal deficit as the game entered the final minute to win 6-5 at Highmark Stadium. The other saw the City Islanders turn the tables at Skyline Sports Complex, as down a man in the second half they rallied from two goals down to take a 4-3 victory.

Saturday’s contest is the first of three games between the clubs this season, with the second meeting arriving on the Fourth of July at Highmark Stadium. The City Islanders will host the final meeting of the season, on August 27 at FNB Stadium.
