[ [http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1916.html The Year in American Soccer – 1910] ] Two years later it was the champion of Philadelphia’s St. George League. [ [http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/year/1916.html The Year in American Soccer -1912] ] The next mention of Centennial F.C. comes in 1928 when it entered the Eastern Professional Soccer League and was eliminated in the first round of the 1928 National Challenge Cup.
