Decent week for us - we didn't win any games but we didn't lose any either.

Last midweek we went defensive at LA and secured a point 0-0 and more importantly didn't sustain sending offs or an injury. This allowed us to qualify for the Al Sellers Cup Quarter Finals.

Fast forward to Sunday and home to Inter Miami was a different ball game. We qwent a goal down from the penalty in the 4th minute that saw SW Smitt sent off. But we buckled down and were leading 2-1 till the 71st minute when my main link man Mitchell went off injured. That gave Inter some momentum and they levelled shortly afterward. A point was probably the correct result.

The Colts opened their campaign - and what a humdinger that was. We lined up to train the age 0 lads including a rookie keeper, and then we had defender Blount sent off in the 19th minute. We held out till half time and then put on some better SL lads to make a game of it. It didn't work as we were battered from the 1st to the 90th minutes - even had Wayne sent off with 15 minutes to go - but ended up thieving a point in a 0-0 scoreline. Feel sorry for CIW as they had 10 on target shots but rookie keeper Hynd saved 2 in the first half and Hill saved 8 in the 2nd half. Fiortunately both sending offs were fior players who are seqasoned and low SLs so won't miss them for the next game.

After last weekend's surprise (to us at least) loss at home to Chivas which dropped us to 3rd in the section, we needed the lads to shift up a gear. The away match at Chivas midweek saw a change in tactics and we closed out a 2-0 win which pushed us into 2nd place.

Yesterday we completed game 5 with a home match against Charlestown. 2 goals up early on we saw the lead halved near the end but at the same time our opponents had 2 injuries to contend with. It allowed us to score twice more, collect a Captain's bonus, go top of the section, and qualify for the last 8. 
Training goes well, and last night we won an auction player - a DF aged 1/14 - he will be a 1/23 by season end.
