Season 93 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Home Guard FC played their League match of the day this evening against 3rd place in the table, and won 4-0. Ellis Wardell, Fabio Cicia, Brice Morel and Christian Okuorobo scored, and Home Guard finished the day 8 points clear of the chasing pack, and with only two matches left to play, have claimed their 3rd League Championship.



Almost as an afterthought, Desert Rats FC kicked-off an hour later as Champions Elect in their League match against 12th place. Two goals up in the first 10 minutes through reserve DMC Madalin Vlasiu and striker Charlie Howell, it wasn't until the Management decided to shake things up after 10 minutes of the second half that the goals flowed again. Patrick Tillmanns took only 5 minutes to settle in, diving in to head in a corner from Hadi Pakizeh, and the second substitute, recent Youth scheme graduate Gavin Burley, was given 20 minutes or so to to show his promise, and he converted an Eric Yeste corner from the other flank with 5 minutes left to make the final score 4-0.

With a Champions League Final in the offing tomorrow, the last thing the Rats needed was an injury to first-choice DMC Mohamed Lotfy, so it came to pass that the fickle finger of fate pointed to said player five minutes from time. The Management will be hoping that the magic sponge works overtime overnight to get him ready for the match which will decide whether Desert Rats achieve another treble...
