Sunday 1st April 2007 - League weekend

Some important games were played today under a nice warm sunny day though rather windy.. again..

Results

Auckland Rangers 1-7 Celtic
Lokomotiv 6-0 Cosmopolitan FC
Groovers FC 4-1 Madras
Hendrix FC 2-3 Uncle Bob FC
WKK 6-2 Barnes FC

So Celtic just need to ensure they win their last League game v Barnes on 6th May to secure the coveted Barnesalona League. If they draw and Uncle Bob beat Auckland by a lot of goals - won't state the number cos it may depress the Bobs :-) , then the League winners from last season, the Bobs could take the title.. Wkk 1 point behind them could secure 2nd position should the Bobs lose and the Wkk win.. etc...

On a separate note, we had yet another incident where a fight broke out, and even more saddening for me were some of the comments from certain players "who cares what happened, just want to ensure we have the points and goals still count..." - seems some people just don't get it.. I'd rather not elaborate on my thoughts, but they don't paint a pretty picture. I was pleased the ref decided to abandon the game - lucky for the teams the incident took place close to the full 90mns, or their morning of football would have been ruined completely - and justly deserved.

I went and helped out Cosmo in their loss.. always nice to have the chance to run and kick a ball. Though this time, I had to walk off.. hamstring went.. if its not the bloody knee, then its somink else.. that wasn't before I tried to score a goal from a corner (i used to score quite a few back in the days!), and got a penalty from a handball off the line.. hey ho.

We have Easter weekend off - I'm taking the opportunity to get out of London, off for a spot of sightseeing in Istanbul - no doubt, some pics will appear in this blog at a later date..

Enjoy ur chocs, and long weekend and see you for the final round of the Cup in 2 weeks.
