Season 125 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC had a patched-up team out for their home Cup Quarter-Final 2nd Leg match, and scraped out a 2-1 win to go through to the Semi-Finals 3-2 on aggregate. In the League, they played the bottom club away, and motored to a comprehensive 8-0 win. Recent recruit striker Fergal Ferguson netted his first hat-trick for the club, but left-winger Roberto Alatorre was carried off with an injury, the fourth such for the Rats in their last 5 matches.





Nouvion Ville FC also had a good win against a lower-positioned League side, but they didn't get on the scoresheet until 3 minutes after the break. They bowed out of the Cup to a -1%Q side, losing 0-2 away in the 2nd Leg, for a 1-5 aggregate defeat. Nouvion have started to pick up injuries too, Aaron Evans being the latest victim.

In the Associations Tournament, Nouvion's Association failed to qualify for the Final for the first time in 13 Tournaments. Nouvion Ville had a stunning 4-2 home win over a +10%Q team, but lost the return match 0-2, hampered by midfielder Aaron Evans getting the order of the early bath after two yellow cards.
