There was a magnificent show of sport as Targaryens United, Shah7 and Outcast maintain top positions in their respective leagues. It’s an overwhelming experience having youth getting indulged in this sporting activity every week showing dedication and love for the game. It seems the season had just started but it raced through time to near its conclusion.
There were some notable games played this Saturday as Brutal Hawks upset the defending champions, Red Devils, sliding them to the second position and fetching the third themselves. On the contrary, Shah7, the new crown seekers, tie against Joga Bonito which looked like a tough fixture, while the new comers, Saaluchan and Targaryens FC bag in victories and eye on more promising games to come.
Some of the teams weren’t able to attend to their matches which caused managerial issues on the field. Namely, Samba United, Galacticos, Hascol Petroleum Ltd and FC APS, which was indeed a poor show of sportsman spirit as they had been one of our regular teams. They shall now be removed from the league. All teams are advised to inform 5 days in advance in order to skip a match otherwise fine would be charged.
