A New Start - Holmesdale FC (Level 1)

[talisman]

The team gets to play

The Friendly

Details of the friendly played during the Tutorial reveal that there was a hint that some expenditure on defence would be needed, and in light of subsequent events, that is something that the Management will deal with tomorrow...



The First Match

Holmesdale FC played their first competitive in the Cup at home. Their Seating upgrade finished just before the stadium opened for business, and a full house of 400 saw them take on their evenly-matched opponents. Laurens Bloemen opened the scoring in the 31st minute, and continued making history, being the first player injured in the 68th minute, and the first Man-of-the-Match for Holmesdale. The visitors got the last word in, however, equalising in the last minute as the match ended in a 1-1 draw.





The 2nd Leg takes place at 08:52 tomorrow so a quick opportunity to put the tie to bed.

More Building

Final act of the day was to get the Medical facilities at the Holmesdale ground started, the Level 1 First Aid facility costing $4k (down from $6k) and taking 6 hours to build.

Finances

At the end of the first day, quite a lot has been going on, finance-wise - the balance sheet shows a net expenditure of $196k, but there are three new players on the books, and four separate building phases at the Stadium have been paid for.



More tomorrow...
