DIVISION 3 GAMES

The Falcons and the Speedsters were the numbers 10 and 11 in div 3 last season, and both Nik and Shaun have 1 goal this season: do better than last season. We can see that both managers take this goal very seriously, as both Nik and Shaun played a grudge. Nik was unlucky to see his good plans go to ruins when DS Keen got too keen and got a red card for a foul already in an early stage of the match. From then on, the 11 against 10 was too much for FA to overcome, and the Speedsters won the match 16-9. With the 3 points, Speedsters are off to a start that promises more than last seasons result. The Falcons are still without points, but I am sure that Nik will have his revenge in matches that are less unlucky.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 1

Melchester Rovers is the first team we see in action this week, that has relegated from div 2. Their first match is against Vitesse Arnhem, who just missed out on the playoff spots last season, but of course they are destined to better this season, and better in that situation can of course only mean reaching the playoffs. And well, in this match, they already show that they are up to it. With an attacking WP play, they outsmarted the BC from MR, and the difference was not only shown in NSL and EMP, but also in chances, and when the difference between the GK’s didn’t turn out to be that big, the first victory for VA was in the pocket. Bruce will be sad that his first match in div 3 wasn’t what he hoped for, but in this case VA just was the stronger team.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 1

The second team relegated from div 2 we can see play this week is Stannington Historical. They also played their opening match at home, but unlike MR, the Stannington boys managed to win their game. And they did not just win it, no, they won it big! The unfortunate opponent was Aros VSK, who were one of the better teams last season in div 3. Because of that, you might think that this season they could be fighting for at least the playoffs, but Len had other plans, played a grudge, and won big. In fact, SH won so big, that when you look closer, SH probably even would have won without the grudge. But I guess Len won’t mind. His intentions are clear, and his intentions are to win div 3, and I sincerely wish him the best of luck in achieving that. SH prove to be a strong team, and even without grudges, it will be hard to beat them when they perform like this. Christer will for sure have had a better start in mind, but knowing Christer to be fair sportsman, he will not begrudge the victory for SH in this match, as he will know it is deserved.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 1

The match between Adelaide Kickers and Fantastic Eleven, means a match between 2 teams who can play for a playoff position. If not more, of course, but at least both David and Clive will want to go for the playoffs, I expect. Last season, it was Clive and FE who did made it to those playoffs, and David and AK who just missed out on that. This season, it looks like once again FE is the stronger team. At least that’s what showed in this direct confrontation. FE’s Wingplay was stronger than AK’s ONE, and because AK’s goalie was no better than NSL 8, the 15-8 win was no more than logical. FE take the first step towards a good league position. Can they do even better than last season? I’m sure that is what Clive intends to. AK are already behind on FE, and David won’t like that. However, their ONE team looks promising. It’s just that David needs to make a few adjustments to the team, and has to look for at least a better GK and forward. But hey, after these matches are played, the transferseason will get started, so I bet that won’t be a problem.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 1

Smoking Guns and Blue Storm FC are 2 teams that ended up in the bottom half of division 3 last season. It will be no surprise that both Monty and Bryan want to do better this season, and what better way to start than beat a competitor? It was Monty who understood the importance of winning this game best, judging by the fact he played a boost. And that appeared to be a smart tactical move, as this made that SG was the better team. They had more EMP, more chances, and also more goals, and so the victory for SG was well deserved. Good start for Monty, who of course will not shout too loud now, but I hope this win is surely a sign that SG is managed by an experienced manager, and I am curious to see how far Monty will come with SG. BS have a false start, but this was only the first match, there will be plenty of matches to come to set things right.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 1

The African Selects are the third and last team that relegated to the 3rd division , to be seen in action this week. We already saw SH win, and MR lose their game, and in the third match, AS kept things in balance with a 3-3 draw against Trav Spoodle. TS played the usual WP, and instead of trying to counter that with OFF, for instance, Colin decided to play his on strong game. If you’re strong enough yourself, you don’t have to make adjustments to your opponent. I always like it when managers have that courage, and looking at how things went in this game, Colins courage should have been rewarded with a victory. AS was better than TS, both in EMP and in chances: 10 against 6. And since both teams played with a NSL 10 GK, a win for AS would have been fair. But the TS GK appeared to be in much better form, saving a lot more chances, and thus stealing a point for AS. TS should be happy with this point, where I can imagine that Colin will feel like missing 2 points.
