Attendance: 70,473
Gwinevra Barbarians 2–2 Issington F.C (2–3 AET)

Issington F.C complete the first double in the history of Apoxian football, in an extra time thriller over Gwinevra Barbarians, as Rancisc Tenian takes the lead in the 15th minute with an excellent strike. 4 minutes later however, things are back on level terms, as Jack Moses fires one past Nicolas Tria in goal. In the second half, Chris Maarsden gives Issington the lead and it looks like it'll be an Issington win. However, Tenian clearly hadn't got the memo as he scores a fantastic goal from 30 metres out in the 90th minute. In the 17th minute of injury time, Chris Maarsden finds the net receiving a header off a corner to give Issington their first Marshall Cup, and a first double.

[New Sideburn]

NEW SIDEBURN LEAGUES; MATCHDAYS 6-10

With Parrhesia foundering and Raging Fire upended, it seemed as though the natural order had been reversed last week. Will the Sabrefell giants reclaim their high position? Will Brookford's good start bear out? And finally, would the Chenoworth Harriers win a game?

AFC Rochford 0 - 4 Sabrefell Moths
Thunder 29', 47'
Pride 58'
Crane 83'

A dominant performance from the Moths, who put shot after shot past Brenecian Felix Carrick. Mind you, Carrick was done no favours by a lazy and sluggish defence, aided by an utterly dominated midfield and an offensive that just was never going to realistically stand up to scratch.

Rhagant Schadenfreude 1 - 0 Chenoworth Harriers
Towers 54'

Matt Well may indirectly have reclaimed his place as Harriers' starting keeper; a low strike from Kyle Towers was ... utterly failed by Karla Rangerover, who let what looked like a sure catch slip under her arms and into the net. A stalemate aside from that; Emmeric Brownlow picks up his third clean sheet from six.

Chenoworth Rovers 1 - 0 AFC Raven River
Tullus 12'

Rovers picked up the lead quickly, going in hard and playing in veteran Muscle striker and captain Gnaeus Tullus, who is now tied with goalkeeper Damian Outcry for second-top goalscorer in the side. Substitute Joey Seldom nearly doubled the tally with a spectacular overhead kick, but Brockhurst managed to tip it onto the bar; still, a first defeat for River.

Violence Chariots 3 - 1 Cranequin Wanderers
Tumbler 6'
Westerling 19'
Leicester 38'
Timbre 65'

John Tumbler showed that he still had class despite his age, dribbling past four defenders and shooting past a characteristically mediocre Miriam Change. However, Violence responded to this with a characteristic onslaught, and at the end of the day the game was theirs. A much needed three points for the struggling Chariots, who had started the game in eighteenth.

South Laithland 2 - 0 Iron City
Symbol 71'
Vandal 87'

A stuttering start to South Laithland's clash with Iron City, as they initially let themselves be put on the back foot; Damian Shrewe had to be quick on his toes to punch away a spectacular Starling free kick in the fourth minute. However, they came out of the gates in the second half totally raring to go, broke Iron's guard down and placed two neat goals past their opponents.

North Laithland 0 - 0 AFC Treason

The Laith derby was a dirty affair, North Laithland dominating their city cousins in possession but being hacked down whenever they came near the opposing goal. Cathy Stokes, amazingly, had the best chance of the game, the Treason leftback slicing wide in front of an open goal on the 70th minute. Still, Laithland will be ruing their own wasted opportunities, knowing they had the better of the match.

Leopolis Hatemongers 1 - 1 Sabrefell Athletic
Mocha 15'
Aberforth 89'

Leopolis shocked Athletic early on with a Mocha diving header, and frustrated their opponents throughout most of the match. However, it was the Sabrefell team that had the last laugh, Tedward Aberforth subbing in in the 86th minute and getting his first goal of the season three minutes later, salvaging a point for the away team.

Brinemouth 1 - 0 Crisisbless
Borussia 27'

Brinemouth squared off against Crisisbless on home turf, and the two sides appeared stalemated throughout. The difference in the two sides? Two German-speaking foreigners; Echidnan Albert von Specta made nine saves, one an implausible diving catch to stop Rook Harm's corner header, and Integristani Dietmar Borussia; Anna Cliving capitalised on a Markus Blakewell error and played him in with a forward pass, and the opportunistic striker hooked a strike right past Portia Thrift. 1-0 to the hosts, and that's the way it stayed.

Newrook Democracy 2 - 3 Maximum City
Locksmith 11'
Parry 23'
Wingett 39'
Topknot 62'
Radd 77'

A tight affair that was never truly settled until the end. Ninian Locksmith opened the scoring, proving himself as still being Maximum's best striker, but Diana Parry danced through the Maximum defence like it wasn't even there and equalised. Chase Wingett scored a rare goal, by lashing one in from range that Rachel Barley was helpless to stop. The Democracy began to dominate in possession and in play, but Maximum rallied after half-time and scored twice at long range, once from Brady Topknot and another from Radd. A solid performance from the hosts, but they leave the encounter empty-handed.

Vermillion Rage 3 - 1 Southfell United
Fortescue 4', 57'
Torch 33'
Payne 76'

It just seems like Leyland Stallion is not nearly in his 328 form... the striker was decidedly below-par for seventy minutes before Roger Steed came on in his stead. It was already too late by then; Lloyd Fortescue had already netted twice, and Bruce Payne completed the slaughter soon afterwards.

AFC Integabad 1 - 0 Parrhesia United
Fuchs 63'

Theodore Fuchs broke his scoring duck in the same play that lead to Wilhelm Urquhart breaking a couple of ribs. He'll be out for the rest of the month; a very bad portent for an increasingly nervy Parrhesia side. Jason Canter will start the next few games for United, with #30 Reece Benedict called up from the youth team to warm the bench.

Twenty-one and a half thousand assembled at the Stadium of True Men, always a hard ask for visitors; their fans are understandably reluctant to travel overseas for the match, and it's cold as hell. But even so, this was a match between two resurgent sides predicted for poor finishes, and it was an eagerly anticipated test that both sides were determined to make a good show of.

The Hares, predictably, closed ranks early. Brookford were allowed to sit on the ball, but there were very few weaknesses they could exploit. However, there was still something, and it took, surprisingly, a long cross vaguely drifting into the area to make a weak point. Flynn Parkour smacked a ball into the penalty area, and it was Delicious Johnson who found possession and managed to make another cross across goal. Nobody connected onto it from either side... and it managed to find its way into the net.

Raging Fire found themselves uncomfortably having to chase a lead. And yet, they managed to leap into it with abandon, charging through the Otter ranks and threatening several times. Bruno Hawke's goalkeeping was excellent, and he foiled Molly Keynes several times... however, the ultimate equaliser came from Sigvor Ingudottir. Starkey brought down Brickhouse, but Ingudottir took possession. Justin Thyme waved advantage and play on, and Ingudottir took full advantage of the openness of the defence, moving between left-back and centre-back to thunder a shot under Hawke's outstretched left hand.

All square at full time, both sides feeling content that they had proven a point.

Sabrefell Moths 3-1 Rhagant Schadenfreude
Crane 19'
Rosewood 25', 60'
Cayman 44'

Gerhard Thunder had met his defensive match in the form of the towering Rhagant defence. Fortunately, Cheney Rosewood was in incredible form, with an assist and two goals to his name by the end of the day. Cayman managed to pull back a goal narrowly before half-time, but it was for naught.

AFC Rochford 1-0 Chenoworth Rovers
Cook 38'

Rochford managed to hold out against an apathetic Rovers fightback, and never really looked, for once, like faltering. Could it be that their stadium is turning into a fortress again?

Chenoworth Harriers 1-2 Raging Fire Hares
Ingudottir 18'
Bronco 50'
Ingedottir 80'

While things began even, Bronco's equaliser only forced the Hares into turning the screw harder and tighter. The Harriers were battered into submission, bullied out of the game and never looked like mounting a proper fightback; the second goal seemed inevitable.

AFC Raven River 0-1 Violence Chariots
Alsatian 36'

Uli Alsatian got a rare start, and impressed. Raven River tried to run rings around Violence, and achieved precisely nothing.

Brookford Otters 1-2 South Laithland
Allbeck 3'
Montague 40'
Bard 48'

Brookford were ambitious, but couldn't stand up to a confident South Laithland, playing with genuine bravery. Samantha Allbeck made a remarkable goal very early on, whipping it past Hawke from well out, and Montague doubled the lead on the break. Brookford tried to close down in the second half, even pulled a goal back early, but they were still the worse side.

Cranequin Wanderers 0-2 North Laithland
Brass 53'
Dulcet 74'

Cranequin had their chances, but proved generous; North Laithland had fewer but were ruthless in front of goal, gouging out a 2-0 victory in the second half. Brendan Dulcet's scissor kick nearly broke through the net.

Iron City 0-1 Leopolis Hatemongers
Kaiserslautern 81'

The game looked to be heading for a slow, tedious finish, but then Paul Kaiserslautern chipped in with one of his trademark 30-yard strikes, beating Anchus and getting a goal from seemingly nothing.

AFC Treason 1-0 Brinemouth
Lockdown 31'

A tough match between two well-favoured sides, but it was Tara Lockdown's conversion from a corner that proved the difference, von Specta helpless to save the downward power header.

Sabrefell Athletic 2-1 Newrook Democracy
Garfield 3'
Charmwell 27'
Bluemoon 79'

The Newrook proved decidedly frail defensively, as Athletic simply punched a hole in their centre, twice. They managed to equal the hosts in the second half, but Hannah Bluemoon's beautiful strike was not enough.

Crisisbless 1-1 Vermillion Rage
Ladder 18'
Scabbard 23'

Crisisbless were unable to shut out the Rage, but at least Scabbard's early equaliser muted Vermillion celebrations. They seemed to just take the foot off the gas after that, and Vermillion ultimately got away with it.

Southfell United 1-0 Parrhesia United
Torch 68'

Southfell United versus Parrhesia United, both teams somewhat foundering after superb 328 seasons. Parrhesia actually had the better of this game, controlling possession well... but nothing could stop Jack Torch's thunderbolt from 25 yards, and no matter what they did they couldn't equalise.

A crowd at Forward Stadium that were eager to see what their team were capable of. Integabad were cut down and shut down early, every attack repulsed by a steadfast defence, and ultimately goals from Linda Matthews and captain Maria Stout won the game.

The first half was one-way traffic. No matter what Maximum did it seemed like they would never manage to reclaim the ball from their opponents, and yet Integabad never quite succeeded in getting a clean shot. What chances they did have were accurate, but not powerful and clearly under pressure, Rachel Barley equal to every attempt. Perhaps their best attempt came in the 30th minute, when Signature was slack in possession and Helga Zeppelin took the ball from him and smacked the ball into an unprepared penalty area, but nobody was quite able to get on the end of it.

It seemed as though Maximum were playing for the draw, but they proved more lively in the second half, putting Integabad on the back foot when Harold Barton lofted a superb cross to land perfectly on Matthews' laces, the shot landing perfectly in Rudi Stahl's net. Integabad tried to score, but nothing seemed to be going right for them, and the game seemed killed off for good in the 70th when, again, Barton made the assist as a long ball (from a corner this time) and Maria Stout's glancing header defied Stahl. A solid victory in every sense of the word, and Maximum were finally proving themselves a solid team.

Chenoworth Rovers 0-3 Sabrefell Moths
Thunder 10'
Ratling 18'
Rosewood 53'

The Rovers were utterly mauled by a rampant Moths side, the Green Giant (as nobody actually calls them) asserting their dominance with two early goals, Cheney Rosewood rubbing salt in the wound with a candidate for the best goal of the season; Vanessa Crane fired onto the crossbar and it ricocheted into nearly the halfway line, but Rosewood utterly mullered it with his right foot and it fired low into the net, to the disbelief of the home crowd.

Raging Fire Hares 0-0 Rhagant Schadenfreude

Did anyone really expect much of a match here?

Violence Chariots 1-1 AFC Rochford
Westerling 32'
Newark 90'

Violence really deserved all three points here, but to his credit Matt Newark did everything right as a substitute, coming on fresh and bright and making an immediate impact, coming close to an assist almost immediately (Miriam Change saved Python's underwhelming shot) and finally managing a strike just outside the box to finish things off in the 91st minute.

South Laithland 0-2 Chenoworth Harriers
Forde 30', 44'

Brooke Forde won the game for the Harriers here, although Damian Shrewe charging recklessly too far off his line to lead in the first goal was probably just as much of a contributing factor.

North Laithland 3-1 AFC Raven River
Conway 24'
Brass 35'
Kearney 37'
Dulcet 77'

Raven River nearly managed to get a hold on things, but Laithland opened the scoring against the run of play. Then scored again. Despite Barry Kearney rapidly lowering margins back to 2-1, the Ravens never really looked like reclaiming their hold on the game, and Brendan Dulcet ended the contest in the 77th.

Leopolis Hatemongers 0-1 Brookford Otters
Bard 64'

Brookford never really looked like giving Leopolis a chance. Kamilla Brandt looked threatening every time she got the ball, but the Otters closed down on her relentlessly to limit her impact.

Brinemouth 2-1 Cranequin Wanderers
Harness 3'
Borussia 11', 84'

Brinemouth were shocked early on, but Dietmar Borussia struck back hard and early, then the Wanderers defence let him score again, soft and late. A disappointing missed opportunity for Cranequin, but they did well and impressed in general.

Newrook Democracy 2-1 Iron City
Class 17'
Parry 49'
Huckerby 55'

Iron City never looked like they had a chance, despite the Democracy being at 10 men for nearly half the match. Rylisa Bandage attempted to murder Kieran Raffish, leading to a free kick that Aldous Huckerby clambered over a few men to find his way onto the end of, heading it down and into the net past Cabriolet. Even so, not a close victory, not the way the scoreline might suggest.

AFC Integabad 2-2 Sabrefell Athletic
Garfield 24'
Charmwell 29'
Fuchs 75', 82'

Parrhesia United 0-2 Crisisbless
Scabbard 70', 86'

Parrhesia United played like cornered rats today, without any of their usual panache. Crisisbless simply bullied them into submission, creating enough of a gap for star striker Alicia Scabbard to make her mark. At 1-0, things seemed killed off already, so it wasn't a surprise when Scabbard sprinted through a dispirited Parrhesia defence again to double the scoreline and secure the result.

Southfell United 1-1 Maximum City
Torch 18'
Locksmith 75'

Maximum came with the intention of shutting their opponents down, but it didn't really work. Southfell managed to pass the ball around, dumbfounding and outplaying the hosts, and only a late solo goal on the counter-attack from unlikely hero Ninian Locksmith managed to salvage it.

This was going to be a tough game from the start. Treason, hard-hitting and tough-tackling, against a dangerous, unpredictable Vermillion. Treason clearly had a game plan, hold back and let Vermillion come to them, then hit hard on the counter-attack. It nearly worked in the ninth minute, but Benedict Clay dragged his shot wide. Unfortunately for them, Vermillion weren't going to let them have that twice, and soon they were a goal up, Payne holding up the ball nicely and occupying three defenders, then laying it off to unmarked Fortescue who smashed it into the bottom-right past a helpless Turnscrew.

Treason tried to sit back and wait for Vermillion to overextend on the attack, but something strange happened; Pavel Heroism ordered his lads to attack only patiently. So Treason were forced into action, and their first proper attack paid dividends, Karel Headlock brutally taking possession from a Rage midfielder, brushing past a weak defence and then simply rolling the ball past Max Taunt. But Cornelius Pullo secured the lead once again for the Rage, firing a powerful volley from 35 yards that nearly sent Turnscrew crashing into his own post. Treason reverted to type, allowing play to flow through the wings, and it was Sands' cross to blue-haired Tara Lockdown that lead to the equaliser in the second half.

Things seemed wrapped up, 2-2 in the 88th minute, but just one minute later Lloyd Fortescue had glanced a header past Turnscrew. Treason were incensed, and charged. Tara Lockdown was played through on goal, but Max Taunt managed to block her shot. Stumbling, Lockdown could only vaguely power it at the goal on the follow up, but Taunt palmed it away for a corner. James Turnscrew came up for the corner as Ash Byrne prepared to take it quickly as possible...

... and, ever the goal poacher, Bruce Payne headed it clean out of the air and then charged, thumping the ball into the net as the helpless Treason defence approached and ultimately scoring from just past halfway. 4-2 to the hosts, the final score.

Sabrefell Moths 1-1 Raging Fire Hares
Keynes 14'
Muscat 83'

Molly Keynes forced in a goal early, forcing through the more fragile wing-backs and beating Asger Stubbs at his near post, and Sabrefell had to spend the rest of the match catching up. Substitute Chris Muscat saved the day, amazingly beating the Hares at their own game; scoring from a corner.

Chenoworth Rovers 0-1 Violence Chariots
Sylver 36'

Chenoworth were battered around the pitch, and their home support seemed rapidly and easily muted. Violence showed blazing pace to own the match, and it took a lot of work from Damian Outcry to keep the scoreline down.

Rhagant Schadenfreude 0-1 South Laithland
Bryce Soprano 58'

Rhagant were never really able to shut down the game, and Laithland managed to cut through their defence more than once. Brownlow was superb, but it was Laithland who secured victory in the 58th minute, Bruno Soprano crossing for his unmarked brother to finish.

AFC Rochford 1-1 North Laithland
Cook 2'
Conway 47'

A goal very soon after kickoff and another soon after halftime. Rochford managed to rally in front of a fierce home crowd, showing some semblance of the fortress the stadium used to be, but ultimately superior skill managed its equaliser, Conway with a superb goal.

Chenoworth Harriers 1-0 Leopolis Hatemongers
Bronco 79'

Back to back wins for the Harriers, back to back clean sheets for Matt Well. Uther Bronco may be slow and kind of crap, but he's a damn good target man at times, and today that really showed.

AFC Raven River 2-4 Brinemouth
Kearney 18'
Cliving 25'
Drake 48'
Drinkwater 52', 68'
Tuxedo 81'

River showed themselves once again to be glass cannons, and despite pulling out all the stops to lead 2-1, were clearly tiring. Brinemouth finished them off in style with three goals, consigning River to a fourth defeat in four games.

Brookford Otters 2-1 Newrook Democracy
Stubbs 28'
Johnson 72'
Wingett 82'

Newrook could never really make their skill advantage stick as Brookford simply closed down areas of the pitch at once. Only free-running Chase Wingett ever managed to find the gaps, and he was all alone, which is bad when you're a winger renowned primarily for crossing. He managed a goal near the very end, but it failed to spark a fightback from the Democracy, who sank to defeat.

Cranequin Wanderers 3-0 Vermillion Rage
Sedgwick 11', 37'
Tumbler 25'

Cranequin decided to just go for the throat as soon as their rivals emerged from the tunnel, scoring thrice in quick succession to kill off the game and then took it easy for the second. Vermillion never even looked like posing a threat to the cocky newcomers, who stride to the ten-point mark.

Iron City 1-2 AFC Integabad
Huckerby 12'
Bavaria 39'
Zeppelin 55'

Iron City somehow managed an early goal, Integabad seeming to take a while to get running... but when Integabad got started after a third of the game, the onslaught was relentless. The game was not even remotely close as Integabad got into the swing of things and ran roughshod over City.

AFC Treason 2-0 Parrhesia United
Byrne 31'
Lockdown 78'

It's kind of sad to see Parrhesia be shut down so badly like this. The bottom of the table is just not where they belong. And yet...

Crisisbless 2-1 Maximum City
Locksmith 14'
Locklear 17'
Twining 23'

Three goals in nine minutes. The rest of the match was just two phalanxes smashing into each other, Crisisbless dominating, failing to get through Maximum's defence and Maximum faltering on the counter-attack.

It had not been a good season for Leyland Stallion. One goal in eight, for a star striker. Southfell's own fans had seen him as the scapegoat for their team's slump, and had begun taunting him scathingly. "You're a fucking midfielder," they chanted.
Sabrefell Athletic had had trouble picking up wins, with just three in eight, but had only one defeat to their name. They were powerful, though surprisingly awful defensively of late.

But these chants stopped in the 37th minute, when he confidently fired past a helpless Kurtis Fitzmarten and very solidly into the back of the net.

Granted, Southfell were, at this point, two goals behind. Karelline Charmwell had placed a long shot very neatly into the bottom-right corner, and Eberhardt had neatly volleyed into the ground, bouncing it into the underside of the top netting. But this looked good! This looked like a revival. Then Lance Buck smacked Garfield in the throat in the penalty area, preventing him from chasing after a pass, and Patricia Bland deemed it a penalty that Lukas Strongnesse made no mistake.

3-1. But this could still be salvaged, and Buck hadn't been sent off, merely cautioned. 'Crime of passion', and all that.

This half, Stallion really buckled down. On the ball, he seemed untouchable, and stroked two more goals past Fitzmarten to complete a masterful hattrick. The entire team rallied behind him, surging forward on every attack, Athletic seemed vulnerable as the white shirts flooded onwards and onwards!

It really was a shame when Eberhardt very confidently powered a long shot past an ineffectual Lachlan Spyder in the 86th minute. 4-3 for Sabrefell.

Thunder 28', 58'
Crane 72'

Forty-nine seconds had passed before Cheney Rosewood had powered the ball past a stationary Miriam Change. This set the tone for the entire game, as Change proceeded to fumble a Gerd Thunder downward header into the net, a goal that showcased not only the Moths' ability at corners but the Chariots' defensive woes. The Chariots mounted a valiant counter-attack, but were ultimately overrun by their Sabrefell rivals.

South Laithland 1-0 Raging Fire Hares
Nightclub 13'

South Laithland simply shut down the Hares by cutting down their possession to a stunning 24%. They realised that they could do a lot with a little, so they simply denied them that much, and kept them on the back foot. Damian Shrewe made a couple of neat saves, but it was Arturo Nightclub's distant strike that won the points at the end of the day.

North Laithland 0-1 Chenoworth Rovers
Tullus 28'

South Laithland's northern counterpart, however, was unable to break down a disciplined and dominant defensive outfit, Muscle target man Gnaeus Tullus powering a volley past Nocturnal for the only goal of the game. The North sits in 15th place, 6 points behind their purple cousins.

Leopolis Hatemongers 1-1 Rhagant Schadenfreude
Brandt 32'
Cyclops 81'

Two very defensive and physical sides collided in every sense of the word. Kamilla Brandt managed the opening goal, and the Hatemongers managed to hold onto their lead for most of the game, as well as the lion's share of possession. However, Rhagant talisman Ella Bramwell managed to create so much from so little, whipping in a cross perfectly placed for Marcia Cyclops, whose header was unstoppable. All square after ninety minutes.

Brinemouth 2-0 AFC Rochford
Cliving 8'
Drinkwater 70'

Brinemouth comfortable in the lead all game, though Rochford nearly equalised in the 55th with a spectacular, swerving free kick that Albert von Specta did superbly to leap at and punch out.

Newrook Democracy 0-0 Chenoworth Harriers

Another clean sheet from Well to make three in three games, and seven points from that streak. An unremarkable game that Newrook was unable to dominate.

Vermillion Rage 1-0 AFC Raven River
Ladder 35'

Max Taunt finally manages a clean sheet, making him the second-last goalkeeper to record one. Vermillion showed surprising and uncharacteristic defensive discipline to force River into a fifth defeat in five games.

AFC Integabad 0-1 Brookford Otters
Copper 66'

Brookford managed to showcase remarkable grit, managing to close ranks in defence with less sense of form and discipline and a greater sense of being hard as nails and determined to win. Integabad looked likely to score all game, but never did; Brookford with the only goal.

Parrhesia United 2-3 Cranequin Wanderers
Shields 19'
Flynning 27'
Harness 52', 71'
St. Hammond 65'

A match that swung both ways throughout, Parrhesia attempting so desperately to assert their dominance but Cranequin fighting back almost with pure desperation, seemingly scrambling to score every time Parrhesia equalised. Ultimately, it was the hosts that came away devastated, denied of points in a fifth straight defeat, and consigned to the bottom of the table by a distance.

Southfell United 0-1 Iron City
Carsley 90'

Iron City managed to hold out the entire game, but it was Southfell's defensive fragilities that were torn open in one of the last actions of the game, Gregory Carsley finding himself unmarked in a corner and literally able to take a second touch to calmly smash the ball into the net. Who needs more than 31% possession?

Maximum City 2-0 AFC Treason
Matthews 43'
Radd 56'

A close-run thing between two very close rivals, but it was City who stunned Treason with a goal either side of half-time. A very neat defensive showing prevented the visitors from ever getting a clear shot on goal, and the home support was amazed.

Two giants, both somewhat underperforming with 16 points from 10. But it's been a strange beginning to the season with more surprises than most. At any rate, both teams stood up to the plate with standard lineups. Nobody could possibly have expected what was about to happen.

It started in the 17th minute. Crisisbless repelled a Sabrefell attack, but Ritter's clearance was underwhelming. Parrett claimed possession, then shot up the right flank before belting it in. Again, it was weakly blocked, and Eberhardt found the ball and forced it past Portia Thrift's near post. Scrappy, yes, but a much-desired goal.

Crisisbless were determined to fight back, and only six minutes later Catherine Locklear did astoundingly well, sliding in the turf to intercept a backpass from Renown to Brokeback. Alicia Scabbard ran onto it, then fired past Fitzmarten in the one-on-one. And soon after that, Locklear had her own goal. Blakewell threw it casually to her chest, and Pauline Outcast was on her immediately. She had overextended, however, and Locklear skilfully rolled the ball back between her legs, then ran at full pelt to regain possession. With Outcast outwitted, all that was left was to smash the ball into the top-right corner. Lorelei Paine made it 3-1 shortly after the break, a venemous long strike that made the home crowd go wild, and astoundingly a second goal from an untouchable Alicia Scabbard made it 4-1.

Karelline Charmwell found space and possession to wrong-foot Rook Harm and fire past Thrift in the 72nd minute. "This isn't over yet!" bellowed gaffer Darren Freepress, and he was right. With 28 minutes left, a fightback was still possible. Sadly, he wasn't right for that reason; Lucia Oakwood calmly hooked in a free kick late in the game, completing the slaughter.

MANAGER OF THE MONTH: Gareth Bournemouth (SFM)

Parrhesia's inexplicable and horrifying slump continues, at the cost of manager Edmund Agincourt being effectively on probation; it's open news that he has five games to turn the club's fortunes around. They're seven points from safety. Raven River (with five straight losses after an unbeaten start!) and Southfell United, too, will have to shape up if they want to escape that area. Meanwhile, the Hares have been ousted but remain above their station, and while the Moths have made an unbeaten resurgence back into competitive form, Athletic remain stranded behind. Also overperforming; Brookford Otters, at 20 points.
For four wins and a draw in the month, Gareth Bournemouth claims the manager of the month award, while Gerhard Thunder claims Player of the Month for maintaining his goal-a-game form.

The Valkyrja Hawks are making a good start to come straight back up, while Mainstream are comparatively struggling in 12th. The top 8 is very close, however, seperated only by 5 points. It's tight at the bottom, but AFC Steak are 3 points from safety at an early stage, which is never a good sign. After being first in the first month, the Orbital Bombardment are winless in five.

Undefeated, Haymaker Town are making a superb start to the season, streaking ahead of all competition. AFC Greymouth have drawn 7 times, more than any other team. Meanwhile, Shotgun United and East Laithland (whose stats seem to have been lost somehow...) wallow in the bottom places.

Final alignments for expanded TSP Premiership and Championship leagues

As the clubs in the TSP Premiership and Championship head into a sixth season, realignment is the word of the day. There will now be 40 clubs in the first-division Premiership, divided into four ten-team regions. The second-division Championship expands to 72 clubs, eight sections of nine, with two Championship sections covering the territory of each Premiership region.

Both leagues will see a new eighteen-round regular season, with 18 matches played by Premiership clubs and 16 by Championship clubs. Promotion and relegation are introduced based on the regular-season results, with the lowest-ranked Premiership team in each region swapping places with the winner of a two-legged tie between the two Championship section winners in that region.

Below is the list, organized by region and nation, of the 112 clubs with their assignment to the Premiership or to a specific numbered Championship section.

"Hello, and welcome to FRT, broadcasting the first Hontaýpýar league, we've finally got our act together it seems. We will prove ourselves as the true Magyars of Rushmore! We are rich and we are fertile, we are Hontaýpýar!"

"Our first division contains 12 teams fro across the country, and this may be expanded to 16, depending on the competitiveness of the league. The teams are of varied background and ability, we have Communist era teams, the newer ÚFF teams, a whole bunch of them!"

"Our season may have finished, but you can still see the results. Watch as our teams soar above those of the Urszcsarians, for they are Communists, we know! We promise! We have intelligence! This battle of the Magyars will see us victorious, our gracious King Zoltán has declared it so!"

"Let us find out the results of our most majestic league!"

"We are the eagles of the sky, the horses of the land! We rise above our opponents and defeat them! Our representative in the prestigious Champions Cup is the honourable FC Hontaýpýar Csatőtah, a blessed club, and Prince Pisti's favourite club. Our Globe Cup representatives are VTK Hegyvidéki Újélőcsvras, FK Pýrős and Décsacéni VSC, they are all respectable and strong clubs, some even said Décsacéni VSC could win the league!"

"You may be wondering why Harcos Kikötő Kélet has not been expelled from the league? Our great and merciful King has decided that they will love another season, and it may expand, meaning we cannot have teams falling at the first hurdle!"

"Urzsag-Csatoria will not know what has hit them! They have been sore ever since we warred, and ever since we didn't join as a single Magyar nation, and we will make them lick even more wounds, mark our words!"

Beaverriver Soccer Season 19
Beaverriver had a very disappointing run in all competitions. Nobody could advance to the group stage. Eviliton EFC is looking for consistent success and get in to more UICA competitions, specifically the Champions' Cup. The first place spot is more valuable due to a spot in the CdC, Rushmore's Champions' Cup. Eviliton EFC is looking for their 5th title and their second in a row.

Welcome to the VIII edition of the Heritage Cup! Yes, we know it says VII on the logo, we need to stop hiring our cousin's little sister to make it. This edition returns to the 48-team and group stage format of editions II and III, hopefully guaranteeing more matches and excitement.

Series 'B' Champion's Cup-Abbey L'Est, Lac-Nord, Sicoutimont-Capacity 60,000
-The Abbey was originally built to host tennis matches for players in and around Lac-Nord. After the Communist government collapsed, it was left in disrepair, as no one wanted to fund it. People abandoned the area around it, and people in Lac-Nord referred to the Abbey as 'L'Ghetto'. But then, in 2009, the Lac-Nord Etoiles entered the AmpiSport Sicoutimont Champion's League. They began to play at the Abbey, and invited stores, restaurants, and other companies to come back to the area around the Abbey. Rue de Etoiles became the most lively street in the city on nights when the Etoiles played, and even on nights they didn't. The Etoiles put money into grassroots programs to grow the game in the Lac-Nord area, and even paid to make the Abbey one of the best quality home grounds in the ASSCL. Seating 60,000, the Abbey believes that this time, the UICA should look toward the Star of the North to host the Series 'B' Champion's Cup Finals!

WEEK 30 REPORT

Latrobe AFC have one hand on the championship with four matches to go in the season, thanks in part to a spectacular losing run from defending champions Burnaby SC, the denouement coming with a loss at home as Latrobe came into the Swangard and proved their case. Meanwhile in the second tier, Saanich AFC can start planning for a bigger travel budget next season.

[Ossidiacqua]

The Steps of Il Colosseo

They say the trophy platform at Il Colosseo has eleven steps to represent the eleven matches a team has to overcome in order to win the title. As Qolo-Qolo captain, this is the first time I've ever had to test this theory.

One. The first leg against CF Independiente in Stadio Vittoria, Vincenze. A tough match. They fancied the upset, you could tell, and we had to hold strong and keep them to just a single goal. Ferran Santacruz got us our goal in the second half, and we clung on.

Two. Back to Il Cratere, and I kept a clean sheet. The second leg just showed the gulf in class between our two sides, in the end, and there's no shame in that for our lower league opposition.

Three. Il Cratere again, and we had a very difficult draw against Caballeros. Yeah, we had the home advantage, but Caballeros are one of the big four, same as we are, and a clean sheet was just about all we could hope for given how toothless the attackers looked. They were there for the taking though, disappointing.

Four. One late goal from Okereke was all it took, and we had the away goal. This was only the week after we played at Stade Blanco in the league, so to go back again the week after we struggled was perhaps fortunate. We were much better on this day, and the win on away goals was at least what we deserved.

Five. This, this was really special. Drawn against another of the big four, and Il Cratere was rocking like I've never seen it before as we annihilated Condensadores by seven goals to four. I let four in, yeah, but oh my god did it feel good to be alive that night. What a spectacular performance that was. And five goals from Ferran. What a performance.

Six. Nervy, this one. At two goals to nil up, they were starting to look like scoring the third that would take them through on away goals. And then who should pop up from my long ball and chip it over their keeper? Ferran Santacruz. Good lad. We may have ost at Estadio Acqua, but we prevailed overall. Emphatically. We weren't exactly crying a river for Condensadores, and they won the title in the end after a wait of nearly twenty years, so good for them at the end of the day.

Seven. The Tecnico were the visitors this time, and Il Cratere was in fine voice as we sent them packing with a four one defeat. Conceding a goal from a set piece is never smart, but I got over it, and we recovered. Drew a couple more saves out of me though, didn't they?

Eight. The away leg in Campo Domingo wasn't actually as tough as I thought it would be, but there we go. No offence to Universidad Tecnico, but the four nil win was easier that we expected. To be so close to a Trofeo semi final and throw it away was bad form on their part, I thought. One of the easier steps out of the eleven.

Nine. Magisterio, next, and we certainly weren't being done any favours by the draw. Magisterio are always a tough team to play, however their season pans out, and so we were over the moon to beat them 6-1 at home Il Cratere is just the best place to play, and the fans were behind us all the way. Ferran scored another hat-trick to underline his bid to be the tournament's top scorer, and it looked like we were on our way to the final at last.

Ten. Stadio Municipal is a weird stadium. Hidden away in the diplomatic backstreets, it just sort of opens up in a courtyard. Our final status was underlined here, and even though they tested me several time, we held onto a draw and went through seven to two on aggregate.

Eleven. The top step. The hardest step of them all. The step we play at Il Colosseo. Conquistadores. Of course it was. Caballeros, Condensadores, and now Conquistadores. If we wanted to win the Trofeo, we needed to do it the hard way, and do it the hard way we did. Six. Six two. An unbelievable result. Ferran and the boys were unplayable going forwards, and, though I conceded twice, I have to applaud their enthusiasm going forwards. As a result, I'm following the lot of them up these steps to receive my medal, and lift the trophy.

Luca Fausti, Trofeo Magisterio winning captain. Sounds good to me.

All it took was those eleven steps.

[The Pazhujeb Islands]

Mahathu's Number One English Language Daily

As Massive Funeral For Enavada Eherebhimi Finally Ends, So Too Does Cultural Hiatus

29 APRIL 5265 - Qichechumadia Zhabi – In a bizarre development bringing closure to an equally bizarre event, life is returning to normal in the Pazhujeb Islands. The monorail service, previously closed to the public, is once more available at its preposterously overpriced fee; museums in Mahathu, beaches in Urajbina, and forests on the Zahuj Peninsula are being visited once more; and football fans are (quite literally) dusting off their scarves.

It all started on the 25th day of July, 5263. You see, dear reader, the much-loved Prime Minister of the Pazhujeb Islands, Enavada Eherebhimi (who was elected to office during the old days of Kagdazka and Pazhujebu and led the nation through the tragic destruction of the former country) had taken a trip to a Mahathu location of the popular D&D-themed fast food chain Empanada Dungeon, where he had rented the back room for the celebration of his granddaughter's 18th birthday party. Evidently, the Prime Minister had hired a massive team of morbidly obese male strippers from New Montreal States and had spared no expense in so doing: the manager of the Empanada Dungeon in question later testified that there were so many strippers, the building had vastly exceeded its occupancy limits.

Sadly, the floor of the restaurant, known to many locals to be notoriously susceptible to collapse, was unable to withstand the violently enthusiastic pelvic thrusts of the New Montrealais throng, and a large sinkhole appeared in the floor beneath the Pazhujeb Islands' beloved Head of Government. In horrid scenes captured on grainy (probably grease-coated) Empanada Dungeon security cameras, Mr. Eherebhimi was seen clutching a Boiled Egg and Raisin Empanada Basket in one hand and tossing a small trinket up to his hysterical granddaughter with the other as he plummeted down into the abyss.

"Damn near got caught in that sinkhole myself," Empanada Dungeon regular Šeppu Haqhjuzhu was famously heard announcing in a UIB radio interview on the scene as he licked the restaurant's famous grease off his fingers. "I done seen the fat New Montreal guys jumpin' and humpin,' and then the floor just went BLAM, and the Prime Minister just plum fell right in!"

Mr. Eherebhimi, who had been held in extraordinarily high regard by the voting public, despite his far-from-moderate progressive policies, was immediately mourned by thousands in the streets of the countries many cities. Attendance passes to his funeral, which was organized by the Partisans paramilitary organization that liberated the country from the now-long-gone dictatorship that once ruled the land, became so instantly sought-after around the nation that it was moved from the National Non-Denominational Place of Worship in Mahathu to the nation's largest football stadium, the Graha'ajat Stidiyama in Zhevassi. There, almost every person in the Pazhujeb Islands gathered to share stories of their lost leader's generosity, wail uncontrollably, or tearfully re-watch one of the morbid security camera death videos.

In a genuinely-well-meaning attempt to calm down the inconsolable funeral-goers, organizers passed out weird little pale-green pills out to the millions on hand. These were meant to be simple antidepressants, however, due to a potentially-non-accidental "malfunction" in the Department of Funeral-Related Pharmaceuticals, they turned out to be the notorious hallucinogen Emperor Hog, made famous for its repeated misuse by Pazhujebi celebrities Natasha Klossovskaya and Fušia Oujadda several years ago. The crowd then proceeded to begin thrashing around while yelling about implausible conspiracy theories and due to some kind of contact high positive feedback loop, these drug-induced proceedings did not end until yesterday. Nearly two years later.

Happily, since Empanada Dungeon kindly offered to provide food during the two-year long funeral service (generally agreed by industry experts to be a tacit apology for the Prime Minister's death), funeral goers are perfectly healthy, even if they are dirtier than attendees of the world's muddiest outdoor hippie rock concert.

Public facilities are reopening quickly, and the 5265 Ivesh Bulah season is to begin shortly, so that Pazhujebi football clubs may once again restart their involvement in UICA competitions. The Urchins national football team is likewise expected to resume operations.

Anonymous Empanada Dungeon representatives have admitted culpability for the events that led to Mr. Eherebhimi's passing, however, this has not stopped public backlash from being targeted at New Montreal States instead, given the nationality of the obese strippers present at the birthday-party gone wrong. Several burning effigies of members of the NMS Paladins football team have been removed from public squares by begrudging Pazhujebi officials.

[New Sideburn]

NEW SIDEBURN FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION: APRIL
This is the last day of match-by-match updates, I just need to close out the season by now. Should be done in time for cutoff.

Sabrefell Moths 1-2 South Laithland
Montague 27'
Bruno Soprano 34'
Scully 52'

Laithland played with pride and pace, defying Moths their expected home victory. They simply didn't let go of possession, knowing an advantage when they had one, and were all in all deserved winners. Jocelyn Scully scored from a free kick for her first of the season, but it proved a consolation.

Violence Chariots 2-1 North Laithland
Helmensun 66'
Westerling 81'
Gunnsdottir 87'

Bror Helmensun breaks a five-goal scoring duck, but Violence overcame the odds anyway, their Raging Fire winger duo proving themselves with Jofridsdottir providing both assists and Gunnsdottir the winner. Laithland really should have killed off the game at several opportunities, but they proved very generous, and Violence uncharacteristically disciplined.

Raging Fire Hares 0-2 Leopolis Hatemongers
Koerner 19'
Kaiserslautern 38'

Leopolis wrested possession from fellow foreigners Raging Fire, taking the game by the scruff of the neck and brutalising their smaller, less physically imposing opponents. Both goals came from distance, but were sublime regardless. The Hares... simply never looked good enough.

Chenoworth Rovers 1-0 Brinemouth
Powell 23'

A remarkable upset, Brinemouth being defied time and time again by the heroics of Damian Outcry (who now sits at five clean sheets and a goal!) and his superb defensive support, Powell clinching the result with a half-volley early on that Albert von Specta could not possibly have stopped.

Rhagant Schadenfreude 1-1 Newrook Democracy
Cyclops 48'
Wingett 78'

Newrook suffered with the sending off of Dirk Straight in the 36th minute, and Rhagant found themselves in the unfamiliar position of being able to press forward against a team. Eventually, the leaks were found against a Newrook playing 3-4-2 (central midfielder Rylisa Bandage making way) and a goal scrappily won, Cayman doing well to hold up the ball before laying it off for Cyclops' strike. But Chase Wingett saved the day, the young winger playing against type by sending in a long strike floating over Emmeric Brownlow's head, and the final result was a draw that left both sides feeling they could've won.

AFC Rochford 1-0 Vermillion Rage
Toole 77'

Vermillion dominated, but Carrick had a wonder game and finally won a deserved second clean sheet. It was Rochford who claimed victory, a scrappy corner resulting in Peter Toole's first goal for his club, and at a bloody fortunate moment, too.

Chenoworth Harriers 1-2 AFC Integabad
Bavaria 13'
Hahn 74'
Sette 87'

Early domination from Integabad, but Chenoworth refused to let themselves be bulled out of the game, and held out until the 74th minute... there, though, they really had nobody else to blame, and Walter Hahn had been left totally unmarked for the corner. Carol Sette's goal was a consolation, nothing more.

Brookford Otters 1-0 Southfell United
Johnson 31'

The Otters had the best of the encounter here, a cross from Parkour that was slightly overhit, but Delicious Johnson chested it out of Spyder's reach then went around him, tapping it into an empty net for a classy goal, the only one of the game. Brookford's surprising form continues, winning handily despite a mere 37% possession.

Cranequin Wanderers 0-0 Maximum City

All square here at the Ostrogoth Stadium, Cranequin attempting to win the midfield battle but being defied by Emmet Lapwing time and again. The best chance in the game was when Ninian Locksmith was brought down by Bonny Sherry in the area, but he was evidently still dazed, and Sherry saved his penalty pretty comfortably. An opportunity lost for Maximum.

Iron City 0-1 Crisisbless
Oakwood 29'

Iron City played dreadfully, Crisisbless simply breezing into victory. Lucia Oakwood scored from open play, surprisingly, with a swerving strike from distance giving Marcus Anchus (who had a decent game, just the rest of the team let him down) no chance at all.

AFC Treason 0-1 Sabrefell Athletic
Parrett 69'

Sabrefell Athletic must have been wary after the 5-2 defeat to Crisisbless, now facing another highly ranked side. But they outperformed their opponents in attack and defence, forcing Treason on the back foot all game. Darren Parrett had the only goal of the game, managing to outfox a sleepy defence to slide the ball just outside James Turnscrew's reach.

Two good sides on five-match losing streaks... well, no matter what, at least one of them would break that this match. Raven River's unbeaten start hadn't held up over time, and Parrhesia, while the better side on paper, were propping up the table with two draws and no wins. However, this match held the key to Parrhesia's resurgence.

The early signs were obvious. River played with a certain shellshocked quality about them, fast but not brave, and Parrhesia were strutting around the pitch with real confidence. Pass after pass was threaded through River's clearly fragile back line, and it was only after three great missed chances that Grant Beardsley finally hooked a shot past Lauren Brockhurst from outside the area. Jonathan Sundry had been injured in the run-in, Liz Poverty substituting in, and this and the goal only spurred some elements of River into attack, and great work between Galloway and both strikers followed; on the break after Brockhurst's quickly taken long kick, Drake passed past Fontaine to Kearney, who backheeled to Lara Galloway who fired straight in on the first touch.

After the break, however, the kid gloves were off. River must have thought they'd done enough, Parrhesia seeming to lose momentum, until Oskar Panzerfaust suddenly whipped in a low, deadly cross that uncannily skilled goal poacher Moritz St. Hammond chested into the net. And Parrhesia's continued dominance sealed the affair in the 81st minute, this time with Panzerfaust from a corner hitting unmarked St. Hammond's head. Parrhesia's first win, as Raven River's slump continues.

North Laithland 1-1 Sabrefell Moths
Martell 19'
Ratling 42'

North Laithland pressured the Moths early on, and it was a 19th minute corner that put them ahead through centre-back Martell's header. Their opponents, however, had the best of the game from then on, Laithland holding out for a point but being denied all three by Janna Ratling's half-volley shortly before half time. The winner seemed to have come through a Conway forward pass to play in Brendan Dulcet, who fired on the first touch past an unprepared Stubbs, but it was deemed offside.

Leopolis Hatemongers 0-1 South Laithland
Nightclub 89'

Arturo Nightclub's diving header sealed the match at the last, just as it seemed like Leopolis were on the verge of victory. The Hatemongers had held out all match, and almost sealed a win in the 87th, but Damian Shrewe pulled off an incredible stop, and soon enough it was Laithland with the golden goal.

Brinemouth 2-0 Violence Chariots
Borussia 15'
Wrist 45'

Violence found themselves on the back foot all game, their attacks consistently closed down by Connor Shard and Dagan Erica Kenney; von Specta barely had to do anything all game. Two solid goals for three solid points.

Newrook Democracy 0-0 Raging Fire Hares

All square, as Newrook seemed to struggle to convert their possession into results. Raging Fire stuck to their guns and choked the life from their enemies, though they, too, found themselves basically impotent.

Vermillion Rage 3-0 Chenoworth Rovers
Ladder 2'
Rakewood 29'
Payne 74'

An utterly tepid Chenoworth failed to so much as dent Vermillion, who spent the entire game firing at Damian Outcry. Only Outcry's heroics kept the score this low.

AFC Integabad 1-2 Rhagant Schadenfreude
Fuchs 59'
Cayman 78'
Bramwell 83'

A dozy first half made way for a firey second, Theo Fuchs calmly slotting in a shot from close range with the side of his foot, but once again Ella Bramwell came to Rhagant's rescue. Her free kick in the 78th fell right to Hannah Cayman's chest, allowing her to turn and shoot past Integabad's flat-footed defence, and herself scored with a swerving long shot five minutes later. In the post-match interview, Bramwell vowed to stay with Rhagant 'at least until the end of the season', though she confessed after that her future was 'uncertain'.

Parrhesia United 2-0 AFC Rochford
Beardsley 26'
St. Hammond 38'

Parrhesia are back in form again, goals from Beardsley and St. Hammond firing them into a two-goal lead. Yet, as Bryan Mustang was sent off in the 51st minute for a rash challenge, pulling down Jo Python in the box, it seemed like it might all come unstuck once again... but the penalty was uninspired, and Wilhelm Urquhart was able to second-guess it and palm it to safety. Parrhesia, then, managing to hold out to the finish, Urquhart with his first clean sheet of the season.

Southfell United 4-1 Chenoworth Harriers
Blunt 7' (og)
Forde 24'
Drake 47'
Corby 67'
Stallion 80'

Things started to become unstuck for the Harriers very early on, as a routine free kick ricocheted off Blunt's stray boot right into the goal, but they fought back, and a fragile Southfell defence cracked; Brooke Forde with the equaliser. However, in the second half, the onslaught truly began. First, Malicia Drake, whose younger brother (Brendan, captain of Raven River) is usually the one better known for goalscoring, with a magnificent volley. Jack Torch and Leyland Stallion combined to play in Amanda Corby, whose blistering shot left Matt Well with metaphorically scorched fingertips, and Stallion's goal in the 80th sealed the affair. One to forget for the struggling Harriers.

Maximum City 3-2 AFC Raven River
Kearney 26', 44'
Locksmith 53'
Matthews 59'
Mackily 85'

Raven River pulled out a seemingly commanding lead against the City early on, Barry Kearney with two wonderful goals, but unfortunately they lost their hold in the second half, Locksmith, Matthews, then Matthews' substitute all scoring to steal the show. RIver's fragilities are becoming all too apparent - after an unbeaten start, they've been defeated seven straight times.

Crisisbless 2-0 Brookford Otters
Shrike 28'
Ring 67'

Anna Shrike, always dangerous with her unpredictable, optimistic long shots, and Lance Ring, in for the injured Cathy Locklear, combined to take out the Brookford Otters. Brookford will feel wronged by a wrongfully overlooked appeal for handball in the area by Markus Blakewell, but even so they didn't deserve to take points from this.

Sabrefell Athletic 3-1 Cranequin Wanderers
Waechter 8'
Charmwell 25'
Garfield 72'
Wedge 82'

Athletic dominated the game, not giving the Wanderers time or space to breathe. Three great goals, though Jack Wedge probably outdid them all by heading a long throw over the top of his defenders, turning, and volleying past Kurtis Fitzmarten with his unfavoured left foot... still, that would prove to be solely a consolation.

A match in which, no matter what Treason did, they simply could not break down Iron City. Or, more specifically, Marcus Anchus. The Muscle no. 1 made 12 saves over the course of the game. First, in the 3rd minute, when Cathy Stokes flicked in a long ball that Karel Headlock admittedly made a rather tame shot off. Still, he should've scored, and thanks to Anchus he did not. The fifth came in the 33rd, with Ash Byrne smashing in a thunderous shot that by all means should've buried itself into the bottom-left, but Anchus palmed it away for a corner. Admittedly, the corner was tucked away by Tara Lockdown's neat header, but that was just poor marking at play.

And poor marking was the reason Iron dragged themselves back into the match, a short corner that Aldous Huckerby looked ridiculous hopping to, but the slight header found its way past a flailing Turnscrew and into the net. Treason seemed almost strangled, and the rest of the half fizzled out almost without comment. Two points dropped by a badly choking Treason, and one that may prove vital for prime relegation material, Iron City.

Sabrefell Moths 1-1 Leopolis Hatemongers
Brandt 13’
Thunder 38’

Moths allowed themselves too much slack this match, and were cut down by an early Kamilla Brandt goal. It took a scything, optimistic cross from wingback Leila Corvette into Gerd Thunder for the equaliser. Both sides dug in for the second half, and despite Moths getting more of the ball they were ultimately able to achieve little with it, Janna Ratling almost scoring with a 72nd minute halfvolley but defied at the last by a Gregor Rache fingertip save.

South Laithland 2-1 Newrook Democracy
Bluemoon 21’
Montague 23’, 45’

Newrook Democracy thought they’d grabbed a foothold in the match when Hannah Bluemoon chipped over an oncoming Damian Shrewe, but almost immediately South Laithland equalised, and Montague secured the game from a corner header in the last act of the first half.

Violence Chariots 4-0 Vermillion Rage
Westerling 11’, 82’
Gem 19’
Sylver 59’

An absolute slaughter here, Vermillion being stunned with two early goals and never looking fit to recover. Max Taunt, whose weaknesses as a goalkeeper are becoming increasingly apparent, fumbled in Fiona Sylver’s long shot at 59 minutes, and Westerling completed the slaughter with a diving header late on for his second of the match.

Raging Fire Hares 0-1 AFC Integabad
Bavaria 57’

The honeymoon of the Hares seems increasingly distant. Integabad found their opening in the 57th minute, an inswinging long shot coming into the top-left corner. Unstoppable.

Chenoworth Rovers 0-2 Parrhesia United
St. Hammond 34’
Flynning 90’

Parrhesia seem back in their old spirits, strutting around like they own the place with a third straight victory. Moritz St. Hammond seems unstoppable, with a headed goal and an assist to play in young Eliza Flynning. The Rovers never got a grip on the match.

Rhagant Schadenfreude 1-1 Southfell United
Cyclops 49’
Torch 81’

Southfell had the better of the first half, but couldn’t make much of it. Instead, it was Rhagant who scored first, Bramwell’s inswinging cross connecting with Marcia Cyclops’ head and Lachlan Spyder’s net.

AFC Rochford 2-0 Maximum City
Python 29’, 81’

A shock loss for Maximum, though Rochford can be a real threat to anyone playing at home. They just looked unbreakable in defence, while Maximum’s back line looked shaky and out of sync with each other. A deserved win for a team that badly needs it.

Chenoworth Harriers 1-1 Crisisbless
Scabbard 37’
Bronco 80’

Crisisbless have sat back on their laurels on a one-goal win too many times this season, and this time it’s backfired badly. Uncommon generosity in front of goal meant they never truly killed off the game, and while Portia Thrift is the finest goalkeeper in the country she’s never been tall or especially good against set-pieces; Uther Bronco nodding in an unanswered equalising header.

AFC Raven River 1-7 Sabrefell Athletic
Eberhardt 7’, 39’, 76’
Drake 19’
Garfield 25’
Charmwell 61’
Strongnesse 66’ (pen)

This was a catastrophic slaughter. Eberhardt’s hat-trick was, in fact, the complete article, a header in the 7th, a net-rippling volley with his right foot in the 39th and a left-footed tap-in in the 76th after rounding Brockhurst. Garfield headed in a poorly defended corner, Charmwell beat three defenders and the goalkeeper to score at Brockhurst’s near post and five minutes later was brought down for Strongnesse to score an unstoppable penalty.

Brookford Otters 1-3 AFC Treason
Stokes 3’
Lockdown 11’
Bard 42’
Sadler 86’

Despite the win, Karel Headlock appears to be losing form as rapidly as Tara Lockdown gets into her own stride. This time, faster, smaller Francesca Sadler was given the nod, and her ball control won her an assist and a goal of her own, and with the opener coming from energetic Cathy Stokes the Otters were comprehensively downed.

Cranequin Wanderers 0-0 Iron City

Many expected the Wanderers to defeat their fellow newly-promoted rivals, but to their credit Iron held out. Granted, they only held 29% possession and predictably a mere single shot on goal all game (which Bonny Sherry had covered the entire way), but they may well need this point in the future.

Brinemouth arrived at the Laith heralded as the new challengers to the title, big names seemingly flooding into the club. But North Laithland had their own big signings; Helmensun, Conway and Periadot in a young side with limitless energy and potential. Short term money versus long term spending. But who would win today?

The first half was rife with missed opportunities and great saves from both keepers. Nathan Brass was through on goal in only the second minute, but an outstretched leg from Albert von Specta defied him and pushed the ball onto the post. Anna Cliving shot from distance twice, but missed by an inch both times due to the ball swinging outwards. Dietmar Borussia was downed in the box by Kieran Nocturnal, but calls for a penalty were ignored.

So it was that the sides entered the break even, North Laithland holding 53% of the possession... but in the first attack of the game it was once again Anna Cliving who hooked in a ball, this time low and vicious to leave a stretched Nocturnal with no chance. Brinemouth pressed on, but North Laithland became ever more violent with their stops. It seemed like Clarice Tuxedo was in a 2v1 situation before being brutally body-checked by former Brinemouth trainee Lucy Martell. Martell was sent off, and the free kick found Borussia unmarked to volley in.

But Laithland weren’t done yet. Spurred on by their fans, they started to push Brinemouth back, forcing them on the defensive, and finally they broke in the 77th minute when substitute Mark Raptor played in a forward pass through the Brinemouth defence, and Hyskiglander striker Bror Helmensun clambered between the gaps to latch onto it, feint past von Specta and sidefoot in a goal. Brinemouth closed ranks once again, but it seemed as though all momentum was now with the hosts, and as Raptor and Matt Conway sliced in cross after cross, it was inevitable that lanky Brendan Dulcet would find his way onto the end of one, von Specta rooted to the ground as the header rippled the net. Two all the final score.

Brinemouth were put in their place by the powerful-looking defending champions. Ratling passed incisively to Crane, who chipped over Albert von Specta for the first goal, and Cheney Rosewood dummied out Erica Kenney and von Specta to roll the ball outside and beat the keeper at his near post.

Newrook Democracy 1-1 Leopolis Hatemongers
Oates 16’
Mocha 57’

It seemed like a long time since Nikolai Mocha scored... it has been a while, but this match showed he still has what it takes. When a corner was hit low and hard past most of the defence, he shoved through three men to find his way to the end of it and powered the ball into the net, cancelling out Jonah Oates’ inswinging-cross-come-shot that forced Gregor Rache into a rare error in the 16th.

Vermillion Rage 1-3 North Laithland
Conway 12’
Payne 29’
Helmensun 48’
Raptor 70’

While Bruce Payne cancelled out Conway’s early strike to restore parity in time for half-time, it was the second half that proved decisive, Vermillion’s shaky defence broken time and again. When all was said and done, the Rage were lucky to come away with a mere 3-1 deficit.

AFC Integabad 1-0 South Laithland
Fuchs 71’

Responding to the crowd banners of “He Gives No Fuchs”, Theodore Fuchs clambered over Damian Shrewe to head in a superb inswinging corner. Despite calls for a foul, it was deemed fair and proved the only goal of an otherwise rather even, almost stale match.

Parrhesia United 2-0 Violence Chariots
St. Hammond 51’
Panzerfaust 67’

Wilhelm Urquhart is getting back into his stride; this match he saved a penalty. At the other end, Moritz St. Hammond headed in an inswinging cross, and in the 67th minute Miriam Change was deemed to have handled a backpass; the indirect free kick taken from the penalty area was laid across to Oskar Panzerfaust, whose unstoppable shot slammed solidly into the back of the net.

Southfell United 1-1 Raging Fire Hares
Fridsdottir 13’
Steed 74’

Southfell may have equalised in the end, but Fridsdottir’s goal was conceded softly; the corner came straight to her and she turned and shot unerringly past Spyder’s near post. They really need to patch up their performances there if they’re to reclaim their top ten places.

Maximum City 1-0 Chenoworth Rovers
Matthews 65’

To many present, it seemed like Damian Outcry had palmed Linda Matthews’ deflected shot onto the line, giving Mike Sevens the chance to clear it off the line. Even replays weren’t definitive... however, the goal was awarded, and Maximum take away the points in what certainly felt like a stalemate.

Crisisbless 1-0 Rhagant Schadenfreude
Ring 86’

Rhagant almost held out... almost. Alicia Scabbard had been uncharacteristically toothless all game, so it fell to Lance Ring, acting on a perfectly placed Lucia Oakwood free kick. Still, deserved when it came to it; Brownlow had been keeping Rhagant in the game for much of its duration, and they had just two shots on goal all game.

Sabrefell Athletic 3-1 AFC Rochford
Parrett 12’
Cook 36’
Charmwell 78’, 90’

Athletic’s defensive frailties showing again as they trailed most of the match, though Karelline Charmwell’s late double salvaged things for them. Athletic were able to break down Rochford’s defence when they needed to, and that’s what counted in the end. Darren Parrett is showing himself to be very talented indeed, and people are wondering when, not if, he’ll start for the national team...

AFC Treason 5-0 Chenoworth Harriers
Lockdown 19’, 27’
Mountain 41’
Byrne 69’
Sadler 86’

Another match with Sadler starting, and another where she scored. The Harriers had scalped complacent Crisisbless last match and Treason weren’t about to let it happen to them, so they began a five-goal shutout slaughter to deny Chenoworth any

Iron City 1-1 AFC Raven River
Galloway 29’
Dashwood 87’

Despite Raven River shakily keeping hold of a 1-0 lead all game, Iron City snatched out the rug from under them, super-sub Luke Dashwood stroking the ball past Brockhurst late on for the equaliser - though it must have felt like victory. River just look ragged and tired, and this wasn’t how they’d planned to end their seven games without a point.

38,750 assembled at small, well-maintained Ostrogoth Stadium, as the two surprise packages of the newly-promoted faced off. Both sides were confident that they could take the 3 points. Both sides clashed strongly in the first half, the Wanderers securing most of the possession but Brookford making charge after spirited charge. Both Bonny Sherry and Bruno Hawke were forced into several fine saves, and this looks to be a superb, entertaining match.

In the second half, Brookford changes tactics, hunkering down and letting Cranequin come to them. A disappointed crowd watches as Cranequin struggles to deal with Brookford's packed defensive lines, while never really looking threatened by their counterattacks. With Shane Gunsworthy's gambit having fizzled out, he still has one ace up his sleeve; a triple substitution in the 86th minute, bringing on fresh legs for both fullbacks and the man in the hole.

The payoff is immediate. Within two minutes, Cranequin already look on the defensive, and concede a throw-in. Haddings' long throw is headed out to substitute Centrist, whose shot is palmed away for a corner. The corner is hit across goal to Edward Bard, who forces his shot into the near post. Victory to Brookford and a missed chance for the hosts, though they'll still look fondly on this solid start to the season.

Sabrefell Moths 1-1 Newrook Democracy
Thunder 19’
Songbyrd 23’

Gerd Thunder is simply unstoppable against this kind of smaller, faster opposition, and his goals have a certain... inevitability around them. Unfortunately for the hosts, Newrook struck back soon afterwards with a low, scything halfvolley that Stubbs simply could not get to. 50/50 in possession, scoreline and ultimately points.

Brinemouth 1-0 Vermillion Rage
Drinkwater 14’

Vermillion found themselves unable to counter a determined Brinemouth. Drinkwater’s early goal sealed it, and while the Rage rallied they always seemed that little bit slower and, worryingly, slightly toothless.

North Laithland 2-0 Parrhesia United
Svardasker 17’
Gannet 81’

Downed at last after four unstoppable performances, Parrhesia are nonetheless sticking it out for the long haul. Today, though, they were downed early, and while they always looked likely for an equaliser the second goal simply killed off the match.

South Laithland 0-0 Southfell United

Laithland found themselves dominated most of the game by a side that had evidently eaten their weetbix that morning, but save after save from Damian Shrewe kept them in contention throughout. Jack Torch missed an absolute sitter in the 89th, and they came out even in the end.

Violence Chariots 0-4 Maximum City
Locksmith 23’, 37’, 59’
Stout 86’

Violence found themselves humbled utterly by Ninian Locksmith, the long-haired, bearded blond knocking in three goals before Maria Stout’s header completed the rout. Maximum continue to gather momentum.

Raging Fire Hares 1-0 Crisisbless
Keynes 28’

A shock to all, as Molly Keynes leapt like a salmon to head in Ingudottir’s cross, a defeat for Crisisbless best described as ‘route one’. The Hares put the foot on the gas to deny Crisisbless any real chances later in the match.

Chenoworth Rovers 0-3 Sabrefell Athletic
Eberhardt 49’
Garfield 66’, 79’

Rovers held out for the first half, but in the space of thirty minutes collapsed to a 3-0 deficit that they would never recover from. Karelline Charmwell, remarkably, with all three assists.

Rhagant Schadenfreude 0-2 AFC Treason
Lockdown 39’, 78’

A Tara Lockdown goal either side of half-time; the girl really is in truly surging form. Treason looked unstoppable in attack and unbreakable in defence, a truly solid performance that they really need to display more often in an inconsistent season.

AFC Rochford 0-0 Iron City

Two low-ranked, defensive sides clashed rather damply. Neither side deserved to win in the very definition of a bore draw.

Chenoworth Harriers 1-3 Cranequin Wanderers
Forde 27’
Tumbler 51’
Sedgwick 68’, 83’

Cranequin are often said to be the ‘neutral’s favourite’. They can never really be put down easily, they dominate more expensive opponents and they go into every game with a chance. This match, they found themselves going into the break down a goal, with their own claim for a goal (Terra Harness’ rather physical dispossession of Monroe before slamming it into the back of the net) disallowed for obstruction, but they fought back hard and strong to claim ultimate victory.

AFC Raven River 2-2 Brookford Otters
Kearney 16’
Bard 61’
Parkour 70’
Reeve 87’

River narrowly won out the first half, despite the Otters threatening, and actually began to look confident after a time. However, Brookford struck back twice in nine minutes to deny them an easy ride. It fell to Nikita Reeve to salvage a point near the end for the second time that season, the dynamic young striker finding the end of Galloway's flick-on and striking solidly past Hawke.

The Integristan derby is one rooted in tradition, ancient rivalry and the fact that Leopolis used to be the capital. However, the glorious emperor of Integristan declared that his own city would be the new capital, renaming the entire country after it. Integabad is one of the most artistically beautiful cities in the world. Leopolis, meanwhile, is pretty dreadful. But enough of that. It’s burgundy versus pink, and that’s a matchup that always turns heads.

Integabad were struggling to take a stranglehold on their position, just as Leopolis were struggling to secure themselves in midtable. But the stadium was simply crowded out by Leopolis supporters who boomed in support every time a Hatemonger touched the ball, and jeered every time a pink shirt took control. And this match, it was the Hatemongers with a distinct advantage. Integabad had struggled to keep tabs on Kamilla Brandt all game, and when Bernhard Koerner rifled a corner that was perfectly placed for her to smash it past Rudi Stahl on the first-touch...

Integabad tried to pull themselves back into the game, but Leopolis’ rigid 5-3-2 denied them most chances and closed down their play. They could string as many passes together as they wanted, but it didn’t matter as long as it all ended up as an optimistic long shot from 35 yards. Leopolis, then, with their fourth win - Integabad slump to ninth.

Player of the Month: Karelline Charmwell (SFA)
Manager of the Month: Darren Freepress (SFA)

A resounding victory for Athletic, five wins from five for a perfect month and first place. Meanwhile, the Moths choked their position, winning just once in the month. Brinemouth and Maximum continue to overachieve, while Brookford and Raging Fire cling onto the Top 10, and South Laithland somehow find their way to 5th. At the bottom of the table, a bad run of form sees the Rovers score one goal in five games, and with six goals from fifteen in all are the worst offense in the league. Raven River didn't do enough to lift themselves out of the bottom four, and their 7-1 capitulation to a triumphant Athletic gives them the weakest defence in the league, and winless in ten. Parrhesia, at least, have pulled themselves free of a dangerous position with four wins. Newrook tops the draw table with 8, equalled only by Anslow and Greymouth in the Second Division. North Laithland sit with nearly perfect symmetry, ruined only by goal difference.
With their flawless month, the manager of the month is Darren Freepress of Athletic, and fellow Cardinal Karelline Charmwell is player of the month with her outstanding four goals and six assists.

The status quo holds at the top of the table, Dubstep Rangers impressively tight at the back with a mere 7 conceded goals and still in the running for a second straight promotion. Meanwhile, West Shotgun gets one point in five games and are rooted to the table, leading to the sacking of manager Eric Albright. Two points seperate 16th from 22nd, while five seperate 22nd from 23rd.

Haymaker Town romp to the top of the table, despite suffering their first defeat, and lead by five. Meanwhile, East Laithland and Shotgun United remain mired at the bottom of the table, seven points from safety. The league is very evenly spaced out aside from that, however, and it remains to be seen how the hierarchy will play out.

[Kinitaria]

(This late preview brought to you by RL demands including exams, plus me reformulating tinkering with the league.)

KINITAR PREMIER DIVISION 3479
Season Preview

The 3478 season was unprecedented in Kinitar football. Mi'ato showed their class with supreme dominance of the kind previously never achieved at the very top levels, while bitter rivals Mi'ato City went through a significantly more turbulent year including a dramatic fall and rise. The second Champions' Cup spot was claimed in dramatic fashion by Universita Tirinthea, who usurped the dominance of the big two to secure themselves a place at the highest table, while Chyri and Atletika Vanuku were other big winners. This season, out of the field of twenty, there isn't a single team who haven't previously had experience in the top flight, so they're all familiar with the expectations and demands of the highest stage of Kinitar football. Here, we'll be taking a look at the twenty clubs who will be fighting to secure glory in the latest season of one of the world's fastest-improving leagues...

1. Maja

Last season: 17th
Manager: Kurča Semudov
Stadium: Stadion Viteanii Revolusii, Litora (62,250)
Nickname: Maja
Seeing one of Kinitaria's biggest stadiums half-empty as a formerly huge club limped over the line to Premier Division safety will not have made a fantastic impression on the Maja owners, but it could have been a lot worse - Maja were in the B-League just two seasons ago, and they've done well to survive on their first season back. Their five-year plan to reestablish themselves in the upper echelons of Kinitar football is not quite dead, but Kurča Semudov has a lot of work to do if they are going to rise out of the ashes. Sadly, it's hard to see them taking the world by storm - they were found out far too easily during the last season, frequently committing too many forward and leaving huge gaps at the back which proved too simple for opponents to exploit. Rather than returning to glory, there's a good chance that they're in for another relegation scrap this year. They should survive, but only just - the good times are some way off yet.
Prediction: 17th

Amzaberg United

Last season: 6th
Manager: Janik Ondruskev
Stadium: Ta Enčara, Amzaberg (37,130)
Nickname: Blue Pumas
Amzaberg are one of those success stories who found themselves relegated not so long ago, and have burst into the top half of the Premier Division. To everyone's surprise, they finished just one point short of a UICA place, credit for which must go to manager Ondruskev. Not only has his transfer policy patched up some major problems at Amzaberg, but he's become well-known as a superb motivator and man-manager. Amzaberg have looked a completely different side when comparing the 3477 and 3478 seasons, and that can only be a vindication of Ondruskev's defensive play - no team conceded less goals than Amzaberg over the course of last season. While critics may deride his tactics as boring, they certainly work, and Amzaberg fans won't be complaining over the narrow victories which carried them so high up the league last season. I'd be surprised if they burst into the UICA places this season, but they'll be up there at the right end of the table come the end of the season.
Prediction: 8th

Atletika Vanuku

Last season: 12th
Manager: Paolo Ilkiev
Stadium: Arena Atletikii, Vanuku (28,400)
Nickname: Zebras
For Atletika, stability is the name of the game, having survived comfortably two seasons in a row and now looking to establish themselves as a mid-table Premier Division team. They've done well to get the best out of a very thinly-stretched squad - they simply don't have the money to get more strength in depth, and if a couple of key players get injured, that could very easily spell trouble for them. Goalscoring was previously a problem, but they've developed into playing a much more free-flowing and attractive style of football which brought them some much-needed goals last season, fuelling their charge up the table, although their defense still gives their fans some room for concern. Atletika are not a huge club and would likely count another season of consolidation as a success, which is where they're probably headed. They shouldn't get into any trouble at the bottom, but it's hard to see them being in the top half.
Prediction: 11th

Avnani Athletic

Last season: 10th
Manager: Kipra Kaplani
Stadium: Parc Semnal, Avnani (41,200)
Nickname: Polar Bears
There is some beautiful football to be found in the Premier Division, but it's not likely to be at Parc Semnal. Kipra Kiplani's bruising style of football is certainly not one for the purist, and while many an opponent has complained of negative anti-football, there's no denying that Avnani play a very effective style of football. Their play is based on a team with a strong spine who aren't afraid of hard challenges, and their attacks often start from set-pieces or long balls up the field. It's a long time since they've been anywhere near getting into trouble, but they don't often challenge for major honours either. Maybe, with a run of good results, they could be considered dark horses for a UICA position, but even that's difficult to see happening. It looks like another long, unproductive season of old-school football at the Semnal, culminating in yet another mediocre mid-table finish. But hey, it could always be worse...?
Prediction: 10th

Chyri

Last season: 5th
Manager: Gabriel Kutoča
Stadium: Stadion nasiyonala Chyri, Chyr (53,810)
Nickname: Rebels
Much to the horror of Kinitar patriots, the league's most derided team overcame mass hostility from pretty much every team they played to snatch a fifth-place finish and UICA football on the final day of last season. Since coming into the job, Gabriel Kutoča has given this team a desperately-needed injection of team spirit, which sees them united in the face of the opposition against them, and they look to have turned into a side which thrives under pressure, which is exactly what a team in such unique circumstances needs to be. One major problem that remains with this team, which they haven't been able to solve for years now, is that they just can't keep a good run going. The traditional mid-season slump has cost this Chyri side dear in recent years, and it's hard to see them progressing if they can't eliminate it. More of the same this season, I think, which everyone associated with the club would count as a success.
Prediction: 5th

Čilibeni Town

Last season: B-League, 2nd
Manager: Novak Čiotovu
Stadium: Stadion Lupari, Čilibeni (30,000)
Nickname: Wolves
Čilibeni are rapidly becoming the league's yo-yo side, having been relegated twice and promoted twice in the seven years of the Premier Division's existence. It's a shame for them, because they do have the potential to be a lot more successful than they have been, but spending time outside of the top tier is necessarily going to mean losing out on vital finances. Still, Čiotovu has done well to assemble a decent squad on limited finances, which played some neat football and clinched promotion to the Premier Division with one game left last season. They have several players with Premier Division experience, which will be vital if they're to stop up this season. They have good enough players to keep themselves in this division, and if they can do that, maybe Čiotovu can begin to build a top-flight legacy at the Lupari. It's going to be a struggle for them, but they should stay up.
Prediction: 16th

AFC Damaciu

Last season: 8th
Manager: Rumen Zupanič
Stadium: Arena Damacii, Damaciu (38,370)
Nickname: Sky Blues, Sailors
It says a lot about how far Damaciu have came in recent years that an encouraging eighth-place finish was seen as grounds for disappointment by some fans. Despite low finances and a squad which seems to be semi-permanently blighted by injury woes, they thought that last season was their year, but it was to ultimately prove not to be. Zupanič is a superb manager and he has really got the best out of this Damaciu squad, and now it's a question of whether they can go one step further. The club and its fans are well-respected across Kinitaria, and few would begrudge them finally enjoying their moment in the sun; this season, it really looks as though they have the potential to do it. It's the strongest squad they've had in living memory, and a UICA place is definitely not beyond them. Whisper it quietly on the streets of Damaciu, but the big two are not invincible, and that second Champions' Cup place is not completely out of reach...
Prediction: 3rd

Dinamo Paleu

Last season: 11th
Manager: Yelman Ilievič
Stadium: Stadion "Dinamo", Paleu (43,360)
Nickname: Dinamo
They've had one fantastic season in the Premier Division, claiming a Globe Cup place back in 3477, but other than that one fantastic moment, they haven't really proven themselves. They've turned into a rather average sort of mid-table club, which is a disappointment to those fans who thought they were bound for glory after finishing fourth two years ago. Things had gotten so bad last year, former Mi'ato City manager Yelman Ilievič had to come in to save Dinamo from relegation trouble. To be fair, they have performed much better under their new leadership, and he will be keen to put any lingering memories of last season well out of sight. Ilievič, despite being sacked from City, is not a poor manager, and he has the potential to turn Dinamo into a real force once again. For now, though, their task needs to be one of consolidation, and I feel that their season will also be about consolidating their place in mid-table.
Prediction: 9th

Dřukahir

Last season: 15th
Manager: Bolevan Limič
Stadium: Arena Coezeni, Dřukahir (29,400)
Nickname: Pandas
Dřukahir are a fine old club, so it's a bit unfortunate that they only get remembered for handing Mi'ato City the title back in 3474. They survived well last season, being well clear of the bottom three before the end of the season, but their young players frequently looked tired after 75 minutes or so of key games. Dřukahir themselves might face a similar problem this season - it's hard to find three more likely candidates for the drop this season, and equally difficult to imagine them lasting the distance. Limič is a decent enough manager, but he might have been given a task that's just beyond him here - the squad's too young, the club's not rich enough, they haven't been able to strengthen much in the close season, and it's hard to say where their goals are going to come from. They made it last year, but unfortunately, surviving for a second season might well be beyond them. It's a toss-up, but I can see them going down.
Prediction: 18th, relegated

Fojvalva Dragons

Last season: 14th
Manager: Kiomar Bitari
Stadium: The Dragons' Lair, Fojvalva (36,940)
Nickname: Dragons
The problem the Dragons have is that they've spent quite a lot of money in recent years, and the most they've got to show for it is one eighth-place finish. They've never been in a UICA competition, and it's becoming quite frustrating for their fans to see them floundering at the wrong end of the table. Bitari has told fans that they deserve better after a poor run cost predecessor Talim Ciumak his job, but so far, the new boss has failed to deliver. Baffling squad selections and tactical decisions that defy explanation have not especially helped matters, and patience is wearing thin at the Dragons' Lair. Bitari will need to deliver a much improved performance this season to win over the doubters, but it's hard to see where these improvements are going to come from. They can't hover around the bottom of the table for much longer - they'll have to go one way or the other, and unfortunately for the fans, the latter is looking more likely at present.
Prediction: 15th

Inovita

Last season: 1st, B-League
Manager: Selikar Nuzir
Stadium: Parc Četatii, Inovita (47,200)
Nickname: Red Warriors
When they were relegated two years ago, it couldn't have come as a shock. The warning signs had been plainly visible for some time, but club management failed to pay heed to them and paid the ultimate price with a humiliating relegation for a historic old club. Predictions of their demise, however, proved unfounded - a new-look Inovita side claimed the B-League title by ten clear points, losing only four games all season. Their real strength could be found going forward - they outscored every other side in the division on their way to the championship. It is this attacking strength which Selikar Nuzir wants to make the heart of a strong, successful Premier Division team, and they're definitely good enough for that. As with any promoted team, staying in the division will be counted as a success, and Inovita should be doing that comfortably this season. The board won't want to see them linger in the bottom half for long, though.
Prediction: 14th

Junulara Fojvalva

Last season: 16th
Manager: Abas Lasič
Stadium: Stadion Junularii, Fojvalva (32,740)
Nickname: Youth
Abas Lasič is not a man in an enviable position. After an anonymous investigation uncovered serious financial mismanagement at Junulara last season, Lasič was left to sort out the team's on-field issues and keep them in the Premier Division. This, he did admirably. Through no fault of his own, he finds himself in an even worse position this season, with some of the club's key players having been sold from under him in order to try to stem the tide at Junulara. Now, they have to try and stay in the top flight with a skeleton squad, key players missing and no money left to replace them. Lasič, who is completely blameless, deserves credit for his loyalty and his attempt to help sort things out at the club he loves, but they've reached the point of needing a miracle worker by now. If they do stay in this division, it will indeed be a miracle, but it's so difficult to see that happening, and most people agree that this is the season in which they finally drop.
Prediction: 19th, relegated

Litora United

Last season: 4th
Manager: Lenta Drevensek
Stadium: Stadion Munisipaliya, Litora (47,500)
Nickname: Pirates, Bears
Litora proved last season that they are well and truly back in the elite of Kinitar football. Their own financial problems are a mere memory by now, and Lenta Drevensek must be commended for his part in restoring the good times to the Munisipaliya. His squad, admittedly, was stretched by the end of last season, but it's his good management that got them over the finish line and claimed a spot in the Globe Cup. They are one of the best-organised and efficient teams in the league, excellent at shutting down opposition attacks and at turning games around, which they have had to do on numerous occasions. The Munisipaliya is a very difficult place to go, with a loud and intimidating atmosphere being generated in the compact, packed arena. Replicating the superb form of last season might be a step too far for them, but they'll still be challenging for a UICA spot, and they'll be up at the top come the final results.
Prediction: 6th

Mi'ato

Last season: 1st
Manager: Talim Hirkov
Stadium: Stadion "Lumar Beqiri", Mi'ato (67,250)
Nickname: Lions
Well, the domestic double is a nice way to make it up to fans after a trophyless 3477 season. Their once-devastating attacking approach had been found out and was no longer feasible; but Talim Hirkov wasn't worried, and has rearranged his side into a more compact, defensive unit which works at shutting out the opposition very well. This approach proved supremely effective last year, but the notoriously fickle fans in the capital's north bank will not let the team bask in the glory of last season for long. They always demand more, and with hated rivals Mi'ato City sure to be hot on their heels, they'll want to keep up their superb performances for some time yet. They won't have as easy a run to the title as they did last season, that's for sure, but it's hard to point out any other team in the division who would take their crown from them. If they keep up the form of last season, they'll be champions again.
Prediction: 1st

Mi'ato City

Last season: 3rd
Manager: Milo Kovraev
Stadium: Stadion Orašii, Mi'ato (69,000)
Nickname: Falcons, City
Last season was a thriller for City fans even if they were ultimately left well behind by their fierce local rivals. The then-champions were lingering in 14th place after 16 games, after which Yelman Ilievič was relieved of his managerial duties. Milo Kovraev was brought in from the C-League and had an instant impact as City went on a 20-match unbeaten run. Unfortunately for them, this wasn't enough to deliver silverware to the Orašii, and the season ultimately ended with City not even making the Champions' Cup. Fortunately, there is reason for their fans to be optimistic. Kovraev has already proven his managerial experience, and with a strengthened squad and the financial backing of the City board, the potential for long-term success is definitely there. In the short-term, though, they may have to settle for another season without the league crown, and the fans are unlikely to be happy with that...
Prediction: 2nd

Port Qaraman

Last season: 3rd, B-League
Manager: Marun Nedvič
Stadium: Stadion te Marii, Qaraman (26,000)
Nickname: Shipbuilders
Qaraman have spent one season at this level in the past, and they had quite an interesting away kit back then too. That season was 3476, and that season ended in Qaraman's dismal 19th-place relegation. With a couple of seasons in the second tier to reflect, they've expanded their minute stadium to fit an extra 6,000 spectators inside, but maybe that money would have been better spent on their squad. Having fought their way into the Premier Division through the B-League playoffs, they don't seem to have learned anything from their one previous top-flight campaign. Their squad is still woefully thin and underprepared for Premier Division life, the little transfer money they did have has been splashed out on marquee signings who have never looked that effective, and they might as well be preparing for life in the lower tiers once again. It's always possible that they'll survive, but it's exceptionally unlikely.
Prediction: 20th, relegated

FC Serenberg

Last season: 13th
Manager: Elbis Vargo
Stadium: Stadion Republicana, Serenberg (49,830)
Nickname: Blues
Serenberg are an enigma of a club. Following Globe Cup qualification in 3477, they proceeded to limp to a dismal 13th place in the Premier Division last season, starting rumours that Elbis Vargo's job was under threat. Well, he's still here, but they'll have to do a much better job this season if he's to stick around for much longer. Their key problem is consistency - at times last season, they looked unable to string two wins together, and they were always looking nervously over their shoulders until the home straight. Those who would defend the manager will point to the injury problems that they suffered last season, but they didn't have enough quality outside the first XI to replace the missing players. This season will be one of rebuilding for Serenberg, and while they should boost themselves back into the top half of the season, reclaiming that UICA spot is probably one step too far for them, for now.
Prediction: 7th

Spartak Rexitova

Last season: 7th
Manager: Viestur Aliu
Stadium: Arena "Spartak", Rexitova (38,400)
Nickname: Spartak
The Spartak board have demanded a strategy of continuous improvement since they returned to the Premier League in 3476, and last season, it seemed as though it was paying dividends. Viestur Aliu led his squad to a superb seventh-place finish and even looked like possibly challenging for the top five at times. Unfortunately, that would be beyond them, but Spartak can still be proud of their achievements last season. The board will want the team to look to build on that position now, or at least maintain it, but that might well be beyond them, at least for this season. Even their most ardent fan would have to admit that they carried a lot of luck during the last campaign, and while they remain a very capable mid-table side, they might not progress beyond that for a while yet. They're in no danger of relegation, but a serious challenge for honours is exceptionally unlikely. It's definitely worth watching them for the future, though.
Prediction: 12th

Unione de Fule

Last season: 9th
Manager: Alois Kaleman
Stadium: Stadion Proletari, Fule (41,520)
Nickname: Pikemen
Fule are quite a baffling side. The off-field, commercial effort has been to set themselves up as a glamour club, which in footballing terms means... nothing, really, I suppose. On the field, the best way to describe their play is that they grind out results. Critics deride them as a boring side, and it's not difficult to see where they're coming from. For the past few seasons, they've been an average mid-table side, not likely to be looking up or down the table. To their credit, they do have one of the best-run financial setups in the entire league, running very well on a low budget. This has not proved easy to translate into footballing success, though, and they're likely to remain a fairly boring mid-table outfit for some time to come. They're not going to be in any danger, but the days of them pushing into the Globe Cup are gone and aren't coming back unless serious changes are made.
Prediction: 13th

Universita Tirinthea

Last season: 2nd
Manager: Emanuel Stofan
Stadium: Stadion Universitii, Tirinthea (40,000)
Nickname: Students
Now here are one of the real success stories from last season. Against everyone's expectations, Emanuel Stofan led his team to second place, shattering the dominance of the Mi'ato clubs and taking Tirinthea into the Champions' Cup for the first time in their history. Their superb performance has attracted international interests, with Polarian investment coming into the club from the upcoming season. The big challenge now is for Tirinthea to stay in their top-five position, and they have the squad and the ability to do so. Stofan will be cautious to avoid complacency, and so he must - there are plenty of teams around Tirinthea who are very capable of snatching their hard-won spot at the top away from them. A second successive Champions' Cup entry would be a superb achievement, but that would probably be just out of their reach. They're definitely capable of a Globe Cup spot, and that's what I'd expect them to get.
Prediction: 4th

[Krytenia]

O-LEAGUE : SEASON XI - PART TWO

KFA CUP XXI : ROUND ONE
Sixty-four teams began the road to being crowned Krytenia's cup kings - and if that road headed north, it was a bad sign for Premier sides. Casuals and Caledon both had away days to forget in Krytenia's northern outposts; Casuals going down to Quinton City after taking the lead, whilst Caledon went for a burton in Yraglac.
Aigburth, too, went out away to a northern team, but as it was O-League One side Adanac City, we'll let it slide.

This would normally be the point that we tell you how the holders got on, but that's Ousevale and they've gone to the Dark Side of the MPL. Boo. Hiss.

MATCHDAY 6
One may be out of the Cup, the other still in, but there's still no separating United and Casuals at the top. Casuals extend their lead slightly though, due to a marginally bigger win.

At the other end, Beckton get their first win of the season at the Draconium, leaving Aigburth as the only team in the Prem yet to register a win. As if being nicknamed the Shags wasn't bad enough.

Results:
Thackworth Rovers 1-3 Avidia United
Avidia City 2-1 Kallia United
Caversham 0-2 Beckton Supermarine
Bradwell Saints 1-1 Neathill
New Cefn Albion 2-0 Aigburth Athletic
Royal Emberton 2-2 Caledon Simpson
AFC Linford 0-3 Casuals Osteria
Emberton Reds 2-0 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 7
The Second City Derby. United versus City in an epic clash of...ah, who are we kidding? Three points to United. Not that it got them to the top of the table as those pesky Miners dug out a victory at home to Stanton.

Elsewhere, a surprise defeat to Kallia sees Bradwell Saints drop to fourth place behind Royal Emberton. Both sides are now giving up six points to the top two; I thought it was the MPL that was supposed to be a two-horse race?

Results:
Avidia United 2-0 Avidia City
Thackworth Rovers 1-1 Caversham
Kallia United 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Beckton Supermarine 1-1 New Cefn Albion
Neathill 0-0 Royal Emberton
Aigburth Athletic 0-0 AFC Linford
Caledon Simpson 2-1 Emberton Reds
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 8
Casuals Osteria fight hard, get a three-nil win over Caledon, and then watch as they lose top spot anyway courtesy of United putting four past the toothless Dragons. Goals scored has never looked so good at this stage of the season.

And here's a odd footnote, too: Royal Emberton drew today to keep their unbeaten record intact, but despite being fourth, they're as many points clear of the drop as they are behind the top two.

Results:
Caversham 0-4 Avidia United
Bradwell Saints 1-0 Avidia City
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Thackworth Rovers
Royal Emberton 2-2 Kallia United
AFC Linford 0-3 Beckton Supermarine
Emberton Reds 4-1 Neathill
Stanton Town 2-0 Aigburth Athletic
Casuals Osteria 3-0 Caledon Simpson

MATCHDAY 9
This is just getting ridiculous now. Avidia beat Bradwell two-nil to extend the gap between the top two and third place to eight points; Casuals win three-one to reduce the gap between top and second from three goals more scored to two.

Aigburth finally register their first win of the season - and only their second goal - against Caledon, but are still bottom...on goals scored. Kill me now.

Results:
Avidia United 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Caversham 0-0 New Cefn Albion
Avidia City 1-2 Royal Emberton
Thackworth Rovers 0-3 AFC Linford
Kallia United 0-2 Emberton Reds
Beckton Supermarine 0-2 Stanton Town
Neathill 1-3 Casuals Osteria
Aigburth Athletic 1-0 Caledon Simpson

MATCHDAY 10
Just when you think it's about to get boring...the top two both fail to win. Avidia's two-all draw away to New Cefn was mildly surprising, but Casuals...oh dear. A defeat at home to Kallia - Kallia! - and they lose their nought in the L column.

Behind them, it's Royals six points off the lead as they continue Bradwell's backward movement; AFC's win over Caversham, meanwhile, raises them to a eyebrow-raising fifth.

Results:
New Cefn Albion 2-2 Avidia United
Royal Emberton 2-0 Bradwell Saints
AFC Linford 2-0 Caversham
Emberton Reds 2-2 Avidia City
Stanton Town 2-0 Thackworth Rovers
Casuals Osteria 1-2 Kallia United
Caledon Simpson 0-2 Beckton Supermarine
Aigburth Athletic 0-1 Neathill
