DIVISION 3 GAMES

Vitesse Arnhem against Stannington Historical means the numbers 1 and 3 in division 3, so it was one of the top matches this week. Until this week, Lens SH was unbeatable, and apparently, it was Fred who wanted to do something about that unbeaten record. He played a strong WP team, plus a grudge on top of that. That would sound very promising. At least it would promise us a great match, as we all know that WP is SH’s favorite tactics too, so we were to see an attractive match. And you know what? VA even would have won that match I think, if it weren’t for the red card for CF Benson. Just have a look, you can see how many EMP that cost VA, since he was sent off at half-time. That would have been enough to beat SH. Now however, the match was undecided, and while Len can count himself and SH lucky, I think Fred may still be proud of this result, as his VA is the first team to steal points from SH, and with that they stay in the top of the table.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 9

The match between Fantastic Eleven and the African Selects, meant a clash between 2 top half teams in div 3. Losing this one, would most likely mean losing touch with the leaders of the table, even now SH have lost points. We still haven’t seen what SG have done, so…. Therefor, it was not really surprise that both Clive and Colin decided to play a boost in this game. That leveled out, the home advantage plus the better NSL did it for Clive. FE was simply better than AS, in all fields (including GK), and so the 23-14 victory was well-deserved. FE stay right behind the top 3, while the gap between the nr. 1 and AS keeps growing. But AS is still very much in the race for at least a good playoff position.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 9

The match between Trav Spoodle and Adelaide Kickers is a confrontation between 2 teams that are at midtable positions now, so just in or out of the playoff positions. In my opinion, these teams are at a level that they will remain fighting for a playoff position until the very end of the season. In this case however, David apparantly decided to give up on this away game, and rest some top players. Since TS did play a strong team, and given their home advantage as well, TS had an easy win: 19-6. No question about it: this was a fair result. With the 3 points, TS stay in the top half of the table, while AK fall behind a little. So, I hope for David that his better players have rested now, so they are ready to kick ass next week!

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 9

Blue Storm FC and the Falcons are teams in the bottom half of div 3. They’re not the teams to go for the title this year, but with a little luck, maybe one of them will be able to make it to the playoffs (and who knows what will happen then!). A match against each other, of course, is an excellent opportunity to win some points to make a nice step towards that. Brandon clearly wanted to make that step, and played a strong BS team. Nik however, rested a bunch of players, and fielded only 78 NSL. And just like in the previous match, that meant a very easy victory for the home team: 24-11! This victory also meant the first win for BS, and since there was a 2 point gap between BS and FA, it also means that BS move up from last position and pass FA on the table. And AK too by the way.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 9

After having seen the draw between VA and SH earlier, the main question in div 3 of course is: what will Smoking Guns have done? Well, Monty and his SG had an away game this week. It was against Shaun’s Speedsters. Now, the Speedsters are also one of those midtable teams: they are unpredictable. You never know when they are at their best, or when they are resting players. Since it was a home game for SS, Monty probably expected a decent SS, so he played a “decent” SG against it. And once again, without even playing really great (look at it, “only” 113 EMP), SG win their 6th consecutive match, and that means that they are leading the table on their own now, with 18 points out of 6 matches, 2 points ahead of SH. Have SG created a gap towards winning the title here? Speedsters of course remain in the bottom half, after this defeat.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 9

Aros VSK against Melchester Rovers is another clash in the bottom half of div 3. In fact, it is the clash between the numbers 10 and 11, so it is only because of the fact that there’s no relegating from div 3 that we don’t call that the danger zone. In spite of the poor league position, however, both Christer and Bruce manage to field pretty good teams, over 93 NSL. Not just in NSL, but also in EMP and chances, AV and MR turned out to be equally strong throughout the match, and if you’d ask me, I’d say that it was the GK’s that made the difference: AV played with a NSL 9 GK, and MR with a NSL 9.75 GK. That resulted in a win for MR that was not that big, but it doesnt really matter if you win big or not, you just get 3 points if you win. Bruce will be happy with the first victory for MR, and with these 3 points they even pass AV in the table, so I suppose Christer won’t be that happy this week.
