Tigers snatch at Rapid speeds
The Anhae Tigers devours on their prey after defeating the Soehwa Rapids 4-2 today at the famed Soehwa Clayball Grounds.

The Tigers pounced on the Rapids immediately when the game started, with Taeyang Kim (No. 5) shooting a goal in the sixth minute, breaking Rapids' Wooyoung Hae's (No. 19) desperate defence. Captain Jihoo Lee (No. 1) proved himself the leader of the group by scoring another goal for the Tigers ten minutes before half time. However, Jaebeom Nam (No. 1), captain of Rapids, managed to break the Tiger's immune system and score a goal. The first half ended with Tigers on 2, and the Rapids on 1.

When the second half started, the Rapids managed to tame the Tiger. Kyo Saeul (No. 3) of the Rapids managed to weave through his brother's (Kyo Sameul (No.22) of Anhae Tigers) defence pattern and successfully kicked into the Tiger's mouth, with the goalie Hwang Taejong (No. 16) damning himself. However, the Tiger's captain revenged and striked a goal at 82'. Desperate, the Rapids became restless and agitated, and bookings were made. Wooyoung, frustrated, punched Daeil Mun (No. 7), which earnt Daeil a penalty shootout at 98'. Daeil succesfully kicked the clayball into the goals, and the winner was clear.

The game ended at 100', with Anhae claiming victory over Soehwa 4-2. Anhae will be going into the Semifinals to represent Cirona in the International Clayball Championship I.

The New Haeyun Multi-Recreational Stadium!
That's right, I paid a visit to the newly opened Haeyun Multi-Recreational Stadium (HMRS) today. I must say the architecture of the stadium is everything but amazing. It looks like a 1400s community gladiator arena, and is smaller than an average high school. Haeyun Metropolitan, I expect better, especially after building a state-of-the-art skyscraper!

The main highlight of the day was that I got to watch the Chogang Sharks play against the Haeyun Speeds. And I can guarantee you something, the Sharks are definitely aggresive, and the Speeds are faster than anything.

The first half went all well until the Sharks were desperate to shoot a goal at 39'. This yielded in their captain, Jeongdang Il, receiving a white card at 44'. Instead, the Speeds managed to score a goal at 49'. *Sigh* Patience is the key to everything.

When the second half commenced, the Sharks managed to calm down. They tried to score a goal so many times, however, the Speeds' defence is just unbreakable. Tables turned for the Sharks at 90', when Jeongdang Il, the captain, tried to kick a goal, only to be stopped by the goalie's baton, but Idang Il, the vice-captain and Jeongdang's brother, kicked the rebound into the goal, scoring the Shark's first goal. Both teams desperately tried to goals after Idang's goal to un-draw, but by the time the last whistle blew, both teams were on 1-1.

Both teams will not be representing Cirona, as it is lower than AHT and SHR's 4-2 respectively.

Whether AHT or SHR will be going to finals may change according to how GYS and GSE perform in their upcoming match. I'm pretty disappointed at my home team, Haeyun Speeds.

GO ANHAE TIGERS!!!

FIRST EVER INTERNATIONAL MATCH

Yesterday, it was announced that there was going to be an international friendly between the winners of the Cironian eliminators and the Zecci Dragons. This will be the first ever international match. The captain of the Dragons, Georgio Belleri, says 'I feel very honoured to be one of the first ever international players in history!'

The match will be held in Cirona, but the stadium in which the game will be played still remains unconfirmed. It will be held over 2 hours.

Did you watch the Gwangyang Suns vs. Gyeongseong Eagles? Man, the Suns got PWNED.

Man, in the first half, the Eagles scored like, 4 GOALS! Hopeless defence by the Suns... Atleast they did get to snag one goal...

The Suns snagged another goal, but the Eagles soared and snatched 2 goals. Hardcore ey...

What really amazed me is that they didn't get any cards from the referee in this game at all...
Now the Eagles are going against the Tigers... Man, $10 Tigers will pwn...

Soaring Eagles? No problem for the pouncing Tigers!
The Anhae Tigers snatched representative of Cirona in the International Clayball Championships I today after beating the Gyeongseong Eagles 3-1.

The game started off slowly, with the Tigers teasing the Eagles with one-twos between the centre and the right-wing. However, halfway through the first half, Tigers captain, Lee Jihoo (No. 1), got impatient and tried to score a goal from a perfect angle with total clearance from the weak Gyeongseonger defence. However, the ball was reflected off the post and the goalkeeper hit the ball over to the other half of the field. Luck ran out for the Tigers and an attacking Eagle, Son Inna (No. 7) scored a goal, despite the clumsy defence of the Eagles. Just as the Tigers try to salvage their mistake, the first half whistle was blown.

Go Junja (No. 12 of Anhae Tigers) was subbed in at second half and he scored a perfect goal into the Eagle's goal, bringing up the Tigers 1-1 against the Eagles. However, the happiness quickly ended when Go was awarded a red card for two yellow card offences twenty minutes after the second half started (72'). The Park Woneul (No. 4) salvaged this by scoring another goal from Kim Taeyang's (No. 5) corner kick at 89'. Time was running out, and the Tigers knew that they were going win the game. However, Man Daeyeong (No. 20 of Gyeongseong Eagles) tried to change fate, and tripped Mun Daeil (No. 7), awarding Mun with a freekick at 98'. Mun scored.

The final whistle blew and Anhae Tigers was officially the winner of International Clayball Championships I - Cironi Eliminations. The Anhae Tigers will be representing Cirona in the International Clayball Championships I and also in a friend match against Vescia.

More to come... stay tuned.

DRAGONS LOSE 4-3

Last night, at Anhae Royal Clayball Stadium, the Dragons suffered an early, but minor, bump in their career. The Anhae Tigers beat the Zecci Dragons 4-3. The opening brace was scored by Vescia, both scored by Georgio Belleri (ZCD), at 12' and 34'. Then, joy turned to fate, as Jo Berndt (ZCD) was given a direct black card after tackling Sa Namyoung (AHT) fiercely. That led to a penalty, which Lee Jihoo (AHT) scored at 48'.

After the break, the Tigers scored again, when Mun Daeil took an outrageously long shot from the halfway line (80 m from each goal) and scored in the top corner at 57'. Then, there was an equalizer, scored by Eccro (ZCD), who took on a pass from Mojo (ZCD). Then, in the final minute of injury time (106'), with no less than 35 seconds to go, Kim Taeyang (AHT) took the ball 100 m from the goal. He ran 70 m, before taking a shot with the outside of his left foot, that slotted past the post and in. Many say that Hillaro (goalie for ZCD) got the tip of his baton on it. The final whistle blew, and Cirona won the match. It was a fair game, and everyone played well.
