Season 90 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC played at home in the League, and took it a bit easier than in the previous five League matches, cruising to a 3-0 win over the 7th place team. Patrick Tillmanns opened the scoring, but Kostadin Marinov weighed in with a double to keep up in the race for the Golden Boot.

Three hours later, they were in action again, this time in the Cup Quarter-Finals, with an away 1st Leg and some 15% better Quality than their opponent. It took until the 62nd minute for the deadlock to be broken, left-back Garry Crawford firing home from short range after a free-kick was deflected off the defensive wall. Kostadin Marinov shook off the attentions of a defender and rounded the 'keeper for the second Rats goal with 12 minutes to go, and it looked all over. The home side weren't finished, however, and they struck back with two goals in the last seven minutes to level the scores, but Desert Rats take two away goals into their home 2nd Leg. The Rats suffered a blow when Patrick Tillmanns was injured. Thanks to madflo for the support.

Home Guard FC also had their Cup Quarter-Final 1st Leg away, and scored twice without reply in the first-half to take a 2-0 lead back to the Home Ground. Nick Gill and Supachai Sunthornpit were the scorers, but Sunthornpit will miss the 2nd Leg after picking up a booking late on in the match.
