SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 11

DIVISION 3 GAMES

The match between the Falcons and African Selects, was the match between the team that is at the bottom of SAEFL, and a team fighting for (at least) the playoffs in div 3. We can see here why FA is at the bottom, they only fielded 74 NSL, and of course that was not enough to trouble AS. Let’s hope for Nik that this is just a stage, and that FA will be better after rebuilding. Maybe after midseason aging, when the youth players have increased, they will take a next step? The 3 points for AS doesn’t mean that Colin and his team will climb the table, as the top 4 teams were already 3 points (or more) ahead.

Stannington Historical against Melchester Rovers means the number 1 team against the team in the relegation zone (as far as you can call it that, in div 3). You can say that means there’s quite a difference between these 2 teams. Bruce played a boost to make up for that difference, but it turned out that it was not enough, SH simply remained the better team, won 18-13, and that meant 3 points for Len and SH, who of course remain in the lead. Too bad for Bruce and MR, as the 121+ EMP looked rather good. That would probably have been enough to beat most of the teams this week. Maybe next time, Bruce should save his boosts for other matches.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 11

Aros VSK against Vitesse Arnhem is the match between the nrs. 9 and 4. AV tried to overcome with the difference by playing a boost, hoping to beat VA in their home game. It was a good effort, and they really came close, but in the end it turned out to be just a little too short. That was also because of the red card for VA’s CB Guyett of course, otherwise the win for VA would have been less narrow. The 3 points for VA mean that Fred and his team keep their solid 4th position. For AV, even though we’re still in the first half of the season, the chances on reaching the playoffs are getting smaller and smaller.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 11

The surprise of the week in div 3 might very well be Blue Storm FC against Fantastic Eleven. BS, the nr. 11 on the table, did not play a really good team against FE. Which is not surprising, as Brandon will know that his chances on winning points will be better in other matches, than against a top 3 team. So, you’d expect an easy victory for Clive and FE. However, Clive was very, very unlucky. He saw 2 players leave the field with a red card, costing him around 13 EMP. Nonetheless, FE was still better (111 against 108). But that is not a big difference, and since BS had the better GK, who indeed saved just some more goals, the result after 90 minutes of football was 12-11. 3 points for BS, who now climb a few positions, and none for FE, who are overtaken by VA.

Trav Spoodle and the Speedsters, are the numbers 6 and 7 on the table, and only 1 point separates them. That of course means that these teams are fierce rivals when it comes to a playoff spot! Here, Shaun wanted to go for it and win this match, and played a boost to give SS the strength to win him the points. But on the other side TS rested players, and didn’t play a very good team. Not at all, in fact. Shaun actually could have saved his boost and won anyway, but that is just looking back. Anyway, the victory brings SS in the top half of the table, while TS fall to the bottom.

Smoking Guns against the Adelaide Kickers means the nr. 2 team against the nr. 8 team. Looking at the table, you’d expect an easy win for SG. And yes, indeed, they did win, but when you look closer, you will see that actually, Monty was lucky, as SG didn’t deserve to win, as AK was better. Really? Well, not really. Maybe in EMP, but when you look a little further, you will see that SG’s goalie was 1 NSL better, and that was of course of more importance as the small difference in EMP, in Akls favour. So, David was close, but needs a better GK to win AK these kind of matches. Another 3 points for SG, who remain at a very good 2nd position, but looking at their performance this week, it makes you wonder how long they can get away with matches like these.
