Amigo's and Amiga's,

Finally the good weather arrived and with all other leagues
finished in the rest of the word all the the eyes are on the
SPL !

I had the pleasure of watching the Semi Cup Final Dulwich vs
Galacticos and what a "Thriller" it was. MJ must have been
proud......!

Dulwich started stronger and seems more eager to take a
place in the final. For 30 minutes there was no shot on
either goal and all the battles were fought over on the
midfield. I was about to fall asleep.....Just at the end of
the first half Dulwich scored a header from a free kick.
Second half it was the opposite Galacticos turned on the
"war" button and there was a series of attacks. They had
numerous occasions to score but finally Ned found the Net !
1-1 !
Dulwich could only defend and 8 minutes before time it
looked as Galacticos sealed it ! 2-1 !  Dulwich pushed
forward and almost got rewarded when a long cross seemed to
fly in but a brilliant safe of Santi saved the Queen !
However the following corner landed straight on the head of
Chris Balls and the ball flew thru the Net.
So it was a penalty shoot out ! This one can straight go
into the SPL records books. Both teams missed one but after
that every taker scored.......we were at 10-10 !! when the
drama unfolded. As all the players took a penalty it was
down to the goalies. Poor Santi who had a great game shot
over and the Dulwich goalie made no mistakes and shot
Dulwich into the SPL final on June 20th !

Flamenkos - ERS 7-4 Old rivals but no cards shown and goals
everywhere ! ERS was playing well especially in the first
half but a tactical move after the break to call back Danny
(after two years absence) as goalie proofed deadly and
secured the Flamenkos the third place spot this season.

This weekend we have 4 important games and the weather
forecast is excellent Sunny and 28 degrees !! So bring your
girlfriends to the field and show them your capabilities to
score goals and score credits !

9.30    Super 48 - Flamenkos
11.30  Dulwich - ERS
13.30  Japan-Bulls
15.30  Lions-Hawks

For some teams it will be their last game this season others
still have to catch up a few games !  Life is good now and
we need to enjoy it ! That means ice cold beers after a good
game of Football !

Keep 20 June free in your agenda as we have a Fun Tournament
plus the end of the season party + price ceremony !

See you all on Sunny Sunday ! Cheers Freek / SPL President
on behalf of the Committee !
