The Desert Rats Management was up earlier than normal so that he could attend the Rats first ever Association match, and was pretty pleased with what he saw. A hat-trick by Patrick Tillmanns and one from Ireneusz Jezierski sent him off on his trip to London with a 4-1 win in the bag.

Arriving late on the scene because of no reception on the Piccadilly tube line, the Management was in time to do a bit of tinkering with the tactics in Desert Rats home League match for the day, but it didn't make a blind bit of difference... Left-winger Kostadin Marinov netted in the first-half, and this was enough for the home side to record their 21st win of the season to secure the League Championship with one match to play. Thanks to Niko and three others for keeping the seat warm while the Management found his way up the escalators to street level reception.
