Amigo’s,

We had a great weekend of football with a lot of goals and “fair” played entertaining games !

Bulls – Hawks 1-3
Highly entertaining game with a lot of opportunities fr the hawks in the first half. It seems that andrea’s tactics to have an Italian defense, Chinese midfield and Brasilian attack is paying off this season, as they took a 2-0 lead after free kicks fm Thiago and Alex. Bulls were dangerous with Nico trying to break the Italian “Gaetona Scirea” but Hawks scored again in the second half, Bulls pulled one back 1-3 final score.  Hawks still on top of the SPL at least for another 10 days !

Galacticos - Lions 1-3
Classic Encounter in the rank of Celtic – Rangers, Barcelona – Madrid and Dalian – Shanghai. Lions as usual played well the first half, scoring three goals ! Galacticos pulled one back. After the break the Lions sat back in defense trying to keep the scoreline in tact despite the Galacticos pressing forward more aggressive it stayed 1-3 !

Japan – Dulwich United 4-0
According to John Hinde of Dulwich most of his players were either in the local hospitals or undergoing counseling after their dramatic defeat last week against the Lions (4-3). Japanese were fresh like sashimi as they had a bye for two weeks, first half Japanese players were all the opponent, resulting in a deserved 1-0 lead, going into the tea break. John’s team opted for English Breakfast Tea to wake up his players and Japan refilled with Japanese Green Tea. After the break the Dulwich had several chances but the Green Tea seemed to work better as Japan scored three more goals in the final 15 minutes of the game. This year Japan is looking dangerous in their “all black” outfits.

This Sunday there will be no games so that everybody can recover from fever, injuries, colds, economic crisis, divorces. Next games will be Nov 30 as our weather predictions don’t go that far forward can only tell you that it will be colder, around 10 degrees and only 5 pct chance of rain. 

We are interested to talk to potential sponsors of the league or on the website. If you know interested companies please introduce them to Frederik or Freek (easy !)

Our first 11 a-side Christmas tournament and party will be held 7 December fm 12.00 pm onwards at the Jiangwan Stadium, will give you full details next week. 

November 30 games :
Hawks – Lions 10 AM
will be a great game with both teams trying to go or stay at the top of the SPL 
Bulls – Dulwich 12 PM
Surely a lot of goals as both teams are attacking teams and pay less attention to defending !


Enjoy your break ! Cheers / Freek Boelen SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee
