Right then, I finally get round to a Rhondda Rovers update. I last left you with a 3-0 win over Atletico Alberto.

Due to the 1st leg of the CL against some Thai team (keeps coming up with squares as the team name for me), Rhondda Rovers had to play the majority of the backup away against Marko FC. Needless to say, the backup were very impressive.

So the time came against a strong opponent in the CL semi final first leg. While I had the quality advantage, they could not be underestimated, especially as they have not lost a league game all season. Both manager's watched this game to try and get the upper hand to take back to the Rhondda Rovers Stadium. In the end, Rhondda Rovers managed to emerge with a very good win.

Yesterday saw Rhondda Rovers play an important league game against Muss FC. With AC LaPili suffering a shock loss at home to PSM KAKASSAR, a win would bring Rhondda Rovers ever so close to winning the league title for a second successive season. Despite both managers, as well as Atletico Alberto's support for Muss FC, watching the match, Muss FC were no match for Rhondda Rovers.

Today saw three season defining matches. The first match saw Atletico Alberto play AC LaPili in a match that could have huge implications for those between 2nd to 5th. Atletico Alberto had to win to keep the pressure on AC LaPili, while AC LaPili had to win to keep the pressure on Rhondda Rovers. In a very close match that saw both manager's watching and two supporters, one for each club (Rhondda Rovers being the Atletico Alberto supporter), Atletico Alberto was victorious.

This result meant that one point from the remaining four games will seal the title for Rhondda Rovers. With an all important 2nd leg of the CL later on, the backup had to be relied on to get the point that was necessary away to Gilstead FC. They did Rhondda Rovers proud.

The final update saw Rhondda Rovers play the 2nd leg of the CL against the Thai team, with Rhondda Rovers having the upper hand with a 2-0 away victory from the 1st leg. Could the Thai team make a comeback against Rhondda Rovers, or was it too much to ask?

No special moments this time.

Final score - Rhondda Rovers 5-1 Thai Team

Rhondda Rovers, in a similar scenario to season 2, will play FC Rapid in the CL final. Both teams have met already in the CL Group stages, where Rhondda Rovers emerged victorious on both occasions. Rhondda Rovers secured their only CL trophy against FC Sergach in the final after playing them in the group stages. Could history repeat itself?

However, FC Rapid seemed to have improved considerably this time around and should not be underestimated.


Tomorrow sees Rhondda Rovers against FCbarca at home in the league. Rhondda Rovers will not just sit back and relax, as they will play a full strength squad to get some ratings up.
