Featured Story : Definition of Class

It was yet another wonderful treat for all football lovers as the top 2 sides of the league played each other tonight. Last week Furtorn Forest FC started 2nd before the game and St. Lunatics finally sent them to fourth place after the Arabs fell to the Americans and tonight, 2nd place Maibuliwa faced off with the Americans. It was an enticing fixture as both sides had a couple of decent chances but Angelino Casillas was the decider of the game as the StX goalie kept a clean sheet for the night while his team mates grabbed 2 goals to take all 3 points. This loss means Maibuliwa moved down to third place and Furtorn Forest are finally back at 2nd.

Many expected champions St. Lunatics to field a full side but when the team sheet was finally released, it raised a few eye brows as newbie, Cooper Thibodeaux got the nod instead of Santa Cruz, Robredo or Kouriyakin. The side was also without Benny Jansen and Love Hylander was benched. 21 year old Matthew Lilley was also given the nod which means he has started in the past 3 games. Maibuliwa on other hand fielded a team filled with experience. Viguier, Taralidis, Sawant and Svistunov all started. The Maibuliwa line up definitely caused a few scares to the away fans but in the 2nd half, the Americans were in cruise control.

With this win, St. Lunatics are now 9 points clear from 2nd place, Furtorn Forest FC. Manager cyen believes this will be a good cushion of them and this means more chance for the youngsters to play, "I am quite pleased with how Cooper played tonight and Matthew Lilley getting into the score sheet was a bonus, no doubt. I was more impressed with how the defense could cope without Benny. I am really glad they could hold the Maibuliwa offense back, and of course full marks for Angelino tonight."
