Forbidden City Celebrate winning the IFFC Cup
Winning Season
One club, two teams and excellent work on the pitch, at training, and socialising to make this the best club in Beijing! A special thanks to everyone who is making this possible on and off the pitch.
Swiss striker Ivan Lakatos scored 24 goals, making him top scorer in the league, with Scottish striker Andy Williams coming in joint second with 20 goals scored – great stuff guys, overall our squad scored a whopping 111 goals. Keepers Jason and Barrie conceded just 22 goals, the best defence in the league. Apart from winning the title, another highlight was the 2-1 win against Afrika United coming back from one nil down.
Team “Summer Palace” won the First Division with 17 wins, 2 losses and 4 drawn games, including a play-off ‘winner takes all’ match vs FrenchB. Palace have scored more goals than any other team and have the best goal difference (see table here).
