Day 6 - Super report.
Desert Rats played a home League match, and right-winger Patrick Tillmanns achieved Legendary status with his 4-goal performance, making a total of 14 goals in 6 appearances this season. Shaun Ruel (2) and Kostadin Marinov scored the other goals in a 7-0 win. Later in the evening, they had unfinished business in the Cup. An evenly matched team had pushed the Rats to the limit in a 0-0 draw in the 1st Leg, but the home advantage proved crucial to the Rats continuing unbeaten run. After a tight first-half in which a goal from Shaun Ruel was the only highlight, Desert Rats turned on the gas after the break, midfielder Mukhtar Hassan, Kostadin Marinov and Patrick Tillmans scoring to make the final and aggregate score 4-0.
Thanks to madflo and Awe Imoleayo Peter for the support today.
For Home Guard, the Management went shopping this morning, and picked up a couple of left-wingers. The main target was a two position attacking midfielder with the missing AMC position, but a two-position left-midfield player was up first and was bought as insurance in case the other bid failed.
Home Guard progressed to the next round of the Cup with a 5-0 aggregate score, Brian Barrett scoring the only goal of the 2nd Leg in a competent 1-0 win. The League match proved a different matter, Home Guard struggling against a much poorer team and being spared an embarrassing result by Nick Gill, netting off a pass by debutant Samuel Njewel.
