Amigo's and Amigo's,

What a perfect Sunday it was ! Crystal blue sky 26 degrees
and green smelling grass ! We saw the friends and family
coming out and watch the games and players laid back after
their game to watch the others compete ! Life is good !

There was a lot of excitement at the games and we got
surprising results which is good especially as we are in the
decisive time for the SPL Championship !

Super 48 - Flamenkos 2-5 Best score this season for the
Super Nova's who can be proud for their improvement week by
week. I guarantee if they stay on in our league they wont be
in the bottom next season ! Flamenkos ended one of their
best season on a high by clinching the SPL third place.
Already there were some rumors floating around that next
season the third place is not enough for them ! The Spanish
and Belgium blend has proven an instant hit maybe a trend to
follow for other SPL teams !

ERS - Dulwich 1-2 All red game both teams were eager to win!
ERS have been struggling this season because quite a few
of their best players left last year. Despite the fact that
their result didn't come out as they wanted they kept their
team spirit and fair play always in tact. For that they
deserve a big compliment !
Dulwich is on a high after qualifying fr the SPL Cup Final
and that was enough to give them the three points despite
the absence fo Jamie and John Hinde, or was it the otherway
round they won because they didn't play ??

Bulls - Japan 2-1 The game of the weekend. A master plan
created by Bilgin to eliminate a full squad Japanese
Pokemon's seemed not to work as in the first 15 minutes
Japan could have easily taken the lead. However when Bilgin
ordered his players to "play like a man" and not like
pussies they got the message. Two goals was enough to push
Japan further and further into their own half. Second half
the Bulls could have scored more goals and Japan got more
nervous by the minutes !
In the end Japan got one back but were never in the game.
The after game speech of the Japanese Captain and Coach
lasted for three days, still they don't know what went wrong!

Lions - Hawks 6-1 Lions were pleased with the Japan loss and
needed to win versus the Hawks which is easier said than
done ! First Half was very competitive with the Lions
getting the best scoring opportunities but failing to score.
1-1 the first half score / second half the Hawks were
getting tired as they had no subs. 10 minutes before the end
of the game suddenly 4 players of the Hawks went missing as
they needed to attend a Chinese wedding ! At 6-1 Lions
agreed to stop the game and go for beers instead of scoring
more goals !

So here we are the SPL title will be decided on the last
game of the season on June 14th at 15.30 don't miss that
game Japan - Lions !

This Sunday there are two postponed games :

13.30 PM Super 48 - Hawks
15.30 PM Lions - Dulwich

Weather will be great so come and watch the games with an
ice cold beer in your hands !

Cheers Freek / SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee
