New Bedford Magnets

The New England Sharks were an American soccer club that played a single season - 1981 - in the American Soccer League. The team's home matches were played at Sargent Field (now Paul Walsh Field) in New Bedford, Massachusetts for the first half of the season, before shifting to Dunnell Park in Pawtucket, Rhode Island as a cost-saving measure. Despite the drastic cost-cutting, the franchise ran out of operating capital after playing just seventeen matches of its 28-game schedule, and dropped out of the ASL.
