Desert Rats FC Season Review.

How do you follow a treble-winning season? By trying for another, but this time the Champions League and Cup would be at a +1 Level.

At Level 7 in the League, after a slow but steady start, the Rats really got into gear when they found themselves on top of the table after a catastrophic day of results for their nearest challengers, and gradually pulled away into a comfortable lead, which withstood their first loss in the League for two seasons late on in the competition.




Desert Rats were drawn in a Level 8 Champions League, which included only three Level 7 teams, two that were treble-winners, and the other only just missed out on a treble, losing their CL Final in the previous season. The Group stage was pretty much a cake walk, barring the unexpected last Round defeat which did little to prevent the Rats finishing top of the Group. After a stunning 5-1 win in the 1st Leg of the Round of 16 over a higher-Quality team, progress was made to the Quarter-Finals where they hit another higher-Quality team, but this time failed to qualify.



The Management searched in vain for another Level 7 team in the Cup draw, and thus concluded a tough season was ahead. He couldn't have been more wrong, as the reeled off a draw and nine wins to reach the Final, against a team 10%Q-higher. The Management decided to wheel out the trusty 4-5-1V and the team recorded an impressive 3-1 victory to win the Cup.
