AC Hillside

AC Hillside were a Mount Laurel Premiership team, established in 2009, when it joined as the league's sixth team. They were founded by former Parkway goalkeeper Mike Nitti, who took several Parkway bench players with him, and joined them with former Lenape varsity soccer players. In their first season, this formula worked magic, and got them to the 2009 Evans Cup Final. After a rally forced overtime, a Joe Porco golden goal, sealed it for Hartford City. In 2010, however they finished the season cold, and by losing the final match of the season to Parkway Wanderers, their father club, they missed the 2010 MLP Playoffs. Due to commitments in Baltimore, Nitti left the team under the interim Captaincy of assistant Captain, Vince Gattinella, also originally from Parkway Wanderers. They limped through the 2011 season, forfeiting most games and folded after the season. The reason for this was that many players left with Adam Schwarzschild and Jason Quimby for Bende, gutting much of the team's core. After the folding, Nitti retired, and Vince Gattinella returned to Parkway.
