Home Guard FC played an away League match very early this morning, and overcame a lively bot team 5-0. Recent recruits Matias Rolando and Hudson Mendes Ribero each scored in the first 12 minutes, then Micky Agbo provided a perfect free-kick for Samuel Njewel to glance into the net with 25 minutes on the clock. A minute later, Agbo was on hand to convert a cross himself, right-back Scott Barlow providing the pin-point defence-splitter. Mendes Ribero added one to complete his brace mid-way through the second-half, and Home Guard then cruised to the final whistle.

This afternoon, Home Guard had unfinished business in the Cup Semi-Final, at home against a lower-Quality team which had given them a good run for their money in a 3-3 1st Leg draw. The home side weren't in a mood to as generous, however, and Hudson Mendes Ribero, Samuel Njewel and Supachai Sunthornpit each netted one in a 3-0 win which puts them through to their first Cup Final with a 6-3 aggregate score.

The Desert Rats Management took up residence in the Transfer Market yesterday evening, looking for a player with DMR position to upgrade their capability there, but drew a blank. At the time, there were only two 5* players in the market, both 5*/55Q, a 20yo ST and a 23yo GK. While sitting there, two further 5* STs suddenly appeared, with about 5 minutes (29yo, 56Q) and 6 minutes (26yo, 59Q) left on the Initial Round. The 59Q ST immediately drew the Management's attention, but as he wasn't in the market for an ST he decided to see what happened. To his surprise, no-one else was interested and a bid with one second left on the clock procured the player for 1T.



On to today's action, an early evening League match at home to 6th place in the table. Kostadin Marinov got the match off to a good start for the hosts, hitting the net twice in the first 19 minutes, striker Shaun Ruel adding a third goal five minutes before the break. In the first five minutes after the break, Patrick Tillmanns was starting to think it wasn't his day, hitting the post twice and having a close range shot saved by the oppostiion 'keeper, but he persevered, and eventually got onto the scoresheet in the 67th minute. Ruel added the second to his brace and Emerson de Alencar Arraes scored a solo goal late on to seal the 6-0 win.

Home Guard FC have also been busy in the transfer market, and have picked up a nice left-sided defender.



In the League this evening, at home against the 3rd place Bot team, Samuel Njewel continued his recent scoring spree, netting a hat-trick. Striker Supachai Sunthornpit also bagged a brace and Home Guard won 5-0. Next up in the League, away in the top-of-the-table clash against 2nd place.

Another visit to the Transfer Market for the Desert Rats Management, trying to find the elusive player with DMR position and another failure, but an opportunity to upgrade the midfield presented itself, and another 1T purchase made.



MC Mashoor Ibrahim is now on the market.

The new recruit was immediately put onto the bench for the home Cup Semi-Final 2nd Leg match, with Desert Rats defending a 3-2 win gained in the 1st Leg. Emerson de Alencar Arraes opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, but 5 minutes after the break, the visitors equalised. The Management made a couple of substitutions of poorly performing players, but it was the second, introducing Michal Kaczmarek in place of Mukhtar Hassan, that goaded the home side into further action. Maximiliano Arcamone and Eulogio Noguera made the score 3-1 before the Rats Debut Goal struck again, Kaczmarek running onto a through ball and slotting the ball past the 'keeper. The visitors scored a consolation goal just before the end, but Desert Rats qualify for their 4th Cup Final in four seasons, 4-2 on the day, 7-4 on aggregate.

Thanks to Clover Field, madflo and Gert for their support today.
