Amigo's and Amiga's,

Last Sunday for the first time we got less rain than
predicted ! It was a perfect day to be out in Green City and
play our beloved sport. We had loads of goals (29 !!) and
even a new SPL record in our history books. Four games and
only three yellow cards is a clear sign of "Fair Play".

Japan - Lions 2-2 The BIG game of the weekend. Japan never
been in this position was eager to finish the Lions off. The
Lions looked crippled as they could barely field 11 players
due to injuries and lets blame the rest on the Iceland
Volcano. Within five minutes Japan took the lead but the
Lions fought back with two goals from Big M who left the
pitch after half an hour with a shoulder injury. Japan got
another goal and the Lions were looking tired versus the 30
Japanese players. However in the second half the Lions got a
goal disallowed and hit the post. Japan had a dangerous
header from the smallest and fastest player on the Pitch but
Nicolas saved it.  So both teams had to settle for a draw and
will have to battle it out for the SPL Championship in the
remaining 5 games !

Dulwich - Flamenkos 5-6
While I was enjoying an ice cold beer at Latina's I noticed
something was going on at the field. Goal another goal
another goal, goal goal goal.....everytime I looked I saw a
goal. First half score 6-4 an absolute SPL record ! For
Dulwich it was a painfull day as they were trailing from the
first whistle 0-3 down in five minutes. Flamenkos had lost
6-5 to the Galacticos this season and that bad experience
helped them not to let that happen again this time.

Bulls - ERS 0-4  Bilgins orders of elimination of the
opponent were not executed. Rumours were that he was sipping
champagne at the Formula 1 instead and the Bulls without the
Boss looked un-inspired. The French Friends were happy to
take advantage of it and took three valuable points.

Super 48 - Galacticos 0-10 Daniele got her third goal of the
season and the Galacticos enjoyed the afternoon as they got
almost all their players on the score sheet !

This coming Sunday we can experience the end of the winter
and a perfect Spring day in Shanghai ! Four pure
entertaining games on the menu ! Good time to bring your
Grandmothers and Ayis and Girlfriends to the field and show
them our skills !

9.30 Galacticos - Bulls Watch out for Bilgin's action but
can he stop the Galacticos winning streak ?

11.30 Japan - Flamenkos The Lions lost against the Flamenkos.
Was that an accident or are the Flamenkos that good ?

13.30 ERS - Lions How many French players will there be on
the pitch ?

15.30 Hawks - Dulwich Only a win for Dulwich will wash away
their frustration of the last two games but can they do it
versus the rested Hawks ?

See you all on a Sunny Sunday !

Cheers Freek SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee !
