Early finish for me today, and now 29 hours until next game. Time for my players to have a break in the sun.

We started today with a Cup match in Israel, in which we started with a 3-1 lead. A draw was OK, but the fact that their goalie won man of match, probably sums up the match.

Result: ISRAELI TEAM 1-1 LONDON CITY
Goals: Alonso 35, Morgada 90
M.o.M: Borrowman (IS)

We gave a good account of ourselves, but it just seemed that it wasn't going to be our day, especially after our hosts took a first half lead through Alonso. We kept plugging away, but a defeat seemed imminent, until Hector Morgada headed a last gasp equaliser from a cross from Marcus Bentley. This is our third victory over a level 10 team, in the competition.


Our league match was at home against the 3rd place team, who were two points behind us. The win puts us clear in 2nd. Now hoping the leaders slip up tonight.

Result: LONDON CITY 4-2 TONGFANG UNITED
Goals: Kennedy 7, Morgada 28, Manning 32, Petrovskiy 46, Zola 60, Hafsa 84
M.o.M: Hector Morgada

The team were slightly apprehensive before the start of this top-of-the-table clash, but nerves were calmed when Dave Kennedy rifled in an early goal. Further goals came from Hector Morgada and Clayton Manning, before the break, seemed to make the game safe. At the start of the second period, Petrovskiy pulled one back for the visitors, but we soon restored a three goal lead when Adam Zola blasted a long range effort past the hapless 'keeper. A late goal from Hafsa, was just a consolation for United.
