Amigo's and Amiga's,


After the year of the Tiger which brought a lot natural disasters we are heading for the year of the Rabbit.
Rabbit's are calm, gentle and persistent and usually years of the Rabbit are peaceful and quiet. A few famous Rabbit's include Einstein, Brad Pitt, David Beckham,Tiger Woods and My Self.....!! Rabbits like home and family not sure what kind of Rabbit Mr Woods is ?? We can call him the "Jumping Rabbit" !

Recently I have to get used to phone calls from anxious Capitano's asking about scores from other teams. It’s a good sign and it means our league is living to its full potential. We have several title contenders this season and we got some surprise results for you !

Flamenkos - ERS 4-1
Some things don’t go together.....If you have an all French team and they go home and celebrate Christmas and New year and come back and try to beat the world Champions Spain and Belgium. The extra kilo's proofed to be a burden to the French Players and the Flamenkos cruised to a comfortable win.

Hard Days Night - Pistolera Bulls 3-2
Well we asked who could end the Bull run and the boys from Hard Day's Night just did that ! First half was 1-1 and even but the second half Mike Mcgoo of HDN thought it was time to go for the "goal of the season" glory and passed five Bulls players to score with the help of the post. Another low strike from Dan sealed the victory for the HDN'ers but a game is never over versus the Bulls, they got one back but too late as Kevin the referee called it a day ! 

Hawks - Lions 3-3
Great entertaining game ! Hawks had the best of the field possession and controlled the match with fast passing Brasilian Samba Moves. But the Lions were dangerous on the counter attack they took the lead three times but every time the Hawks managed to get one back, 3-3 a fair result !

So we will enjoy the Chinese New Year Break and we will restart on February 13 with a full program 3 postponed games
+ the SPL Cup extra game !

9.30   AM Flamenkos - Pistolera Bulls
Let's see whether the Bulls can bounce back fm their loss or that the Flamenkos are going to be unbeaten in 2011 !

11.30 PM Lions - Super 48
Lions would like to increase their goal tally but will face the famous Blue Wall !

13.30 PM HDN - Galacticos
Revenge for the poor start of their last game against HDN is what the Galacticos are looking for !
