Amigo's and Amiga's,
Rain, Rain and Rain that’s what Shanghai is about these days !
I have never received so many SMS text messages over a weekend, its started with Andrea asking on Friday whether the games were on on Sunday. Bilgin,Nicolas,Ned,Cai and several other players followed soon. However our grassmaster Adam did the final check on Saturday evening standing on the field in the soaking rain and his comment was " The field is good to go tomorrow ".
Well all credit to him as the field was fantastic !
We had two SPL Semi-Cup Finals and one postponed game :
Galacticos - Lions 3-3 full time. Absolute great cup fight as the Lions found themselves trailing 2-0 behind after twenty minutes. However they managed to fight their way back into the game and equalized. Ned thought he scored the winner for the Galacticos 5 minutes before the end 3-2, but Lions were not ready to give up and found the net just before the end of the game. Unfortunately the unavoidable penalty shoot out ended on a sour note as the Lions goalie made noise on the third penalty but was left unpunished by the referee. Lions went thru after a few more misses of both sides. Suggest in future we will have extra time with a golden goal in order the avoid the penalties shoot outs in Cup ties !
Hawks - Flamenkos 4-2 The Brasilian and Chinese mix of the Hawks proved to be too much for our Flamenkos ! Maybe still with some hangovers of Bart's wedding party and the loss versus the Lions they found themselves losing 3-1 at half time. They got one back in the second half 3-2 but missed the energy to turn the game around.
Hawks by scoring a fourth were sure a place in the final !
ERS - Pistolera Bulls 5-2 Battle for the fith place. On the day ERS was more effective of taking their chances. Fair game with only one yellow card.
What is left is our final day of this SPL Season ! We need to pray for less rain ! Program for June the 19th will be as follows :
0930-1130 SPL Cup Final
1200-1600 SPL 8 a-side Tournament for all SPL Teams
1630- ? SPL End of the Season Party at Latina with Price Ceremonies
Looking forward to see all of you and your friends and family to come to the Field or to the Party !
Lets enjoy our life in Shanghai !
Cheers Freek / SPL President on behalf of the SPL Committee !
