And the leagues have begun ! Almost all
teams palyed the first match in their respective leagues and we see
here and there some surprises. Now during this week we have
three evening matches on three different locations and kick off times.
Next week on weekdays will follow further make up matches, so watch
out.
Now from this coming weekend players without shinguards
will not be able to enter the field without exception ! Following teams
should watch out: Beida China, Yellow River, Snickers FC, Renda FC and
Renda LXS. Most teams wore the shinguards and brought proper kits (tops,
pants & socks) which I hope continues this way.
Pl! ease make sure that you ask your players to
register with a form&two pictures (incase there is no player ID from
previous season). For Game 3 only registered players may enter the pitch.
Last Monday evening the Medical care-Meeting was held.
Jason&Jochen from Forbidden City FC, Thomas from French LE and later on Enda
from the Celtics attended. Three aims were outlined: 1) four in first aid educated
staff shall monitor all IFFC matches,
2) a proper first aid-kit should be at each pitch available, and 3) a transport-logistics
for injured players to the hospital shall be established. Til the end of
this week I will write a proposal to Beijings for foreigners most frequent
hospitals. Jason will check the proposal (form & English) before next
Monday. Then next week Monday we will approach the hospitals for co-operation.
In case there is anyone with a good connection is welcomed to help. Pls.
call me right away (6234 7106).

Despite the clear score, it was a tough match for the reigning champs Afrika Utd. against a well fighting F. City FC side. The big difference between F. City FC and Afrika Utd. was IFFCs top striker Steve who scored all six goals (17., 25., 68., 79., 83. & 88.) for the champs. On the other side, in the first half NickOtto (10.) and in half two David Stewart (81.) scored for the City boys. If Steve would not have come today ....
In a close and hard fought match, the Vikings struck the first goal of the match in the first half through Jesper H. (21.) for the 1:0 halftime lead. In the second half, after missing all good chances, the Strollers finally equalized through Tim Til (59.). As it seemed like a tie (both sides missed good oppertunities), five minutes from the end Strollers Derby (85.) scored the winning goal to deceide the match.
Russia Utd. was unable to play Saturday, X2 was unable on Sunday. A make-up match.
The French LE surprised & stunned Sexy FC winning this match 2:0. In the first half it was goalless and Sexy FC as well as the French LE missed good chances. Then in the second half it was the time of French LEs striker Michael who scored the two winning goals (49. & 65.). Sexy FC were just not able to score today and left the field empty handed.
The Celtics scored two super goals: 1:0 through a strong headder by Karl Long (8.) and a fabulous shot into the right goal angle from Tony Caboy (37.) for 2:0. Fortuna 94 missed their chnaces and with the final whistle Fortunas Zhang (45.) could pull one back. In the second half Fortunas Dominic equalized (63.), but then Celtic took a 3:2 lead through Ma Ning (74.). Then in the last four minutes Fortuna turned around the match with a goal from Markus (86.) and a second goal from Zhang (90.) to win a bid lucky but also deserved.

The Drifters made life difficult against favorites Babarians A. In mid first half within four minutes, three goals were scored: Babarianss Brahims 0:1 (29.) was equalized by Drifterss Sjoerd (30.) and just two minutes later Warren Rixon scored the 1:2 (32.) halftime lead. In the second half Drifter was unable to score and Babarianss Steve Clayton added one more goal (53.) for his side for the overall 1:3 Babarian A victory over the Drifters.
Both teams did bring proper socks and some players were missing even shinguards. This is the last time, from now on: No Shinguards = No Play! Yellow River controled most of this match and deserved this high 1:4 victory over Beida China. Man of the match was Yellow River FCs striker Fei, who scored all four goals (18., 30., 35. & 89.) for his side. For Beida China it was Liu (25.) the only one beeing able to score for his side.
The Snickers FC came late, had no proper pants and some player missed his shinguards. Also here no more warnings from now on: No Guards = No Play! The game took a bad character also due to referee&linesmens performance and also some induvidual players like Snickerss No.16 He who provoked were part of the reason. A warning is given to Snickers as well as few Celtics players to behave (stop swearing!). To the game: In the first half the Celtics scored through Joe B. (8. & 19.), Mickey B. (13.) and Colin (37.) alltogether four goals, on Snickers side An (23. & 40.) struck twice back. In the second half the Celtics stopped scoring and Snickerss Fei scored two goals (60. & 80.) to equalize.
Last years Third Division team Athletico gave last years First Division side Red Cards no chance and thanx to three goals from top striker Thomas (7., 13. & 81.) and two goals from Barnett (25. & 60.) Athletico won the match. For the Red Cards, it was Huang (80.) scoring the goal of honour.
Both teams were unable to play this weekend. Make up match!

The Babarian B side edge a close 1:2 victory each half over the new establishe Azzurri FC side. For the Babarians it was Pierre (38.), Phil (40. & 75.) as well as Jose (85.) beeing able to score alltogether four goals. Azzurri FCs Lorenzo (42.) and Roberto (60.) scored one goal each half which was not enough to take home any points today.
The new Third Division table leaders are Renda FC who just overpowered Hong Kong Utd. with a 7:1 victory. Two goals from Adam (34. & 65.) and a goal each from Yu Chen (51.), Wu Jiang (68.), Double (71.), Perry (77.) and Michael (89.) gave Hong Kong Utd. seven goals into their net. Hong Kongs Dan (46.) scored their only goal in the first minute of the first half.
Italy FC looked like the clear winner gong into halftime with a 4:0 lead. But then Renda LXS woke up and started to score which was at the end not enough to turn around the match: so Italy FC (the other new established Italian team) took home all three points. Italy FCs Enrico was the man of the day scoring four goals (14., 29., 36. & 65.); his teammate Ruben added one goal (22.). For Renda LXS it was Ryan (55., Philipp (77.) and Stone (86.) scoring each one goal.
The newcomers Beijing Rockers celebrated a clear 1:5 victory over Thumb Korea in this match. Zhang scored twice (25. & 70.) while his teammates Wang (29.), Chao (32.) and Jian (60.) all added one goal each to make it five goals for the Rockers. Thumb Koreas Jun (8.) scored the early lead which was only shortly celebrated when the Rockers started scoring goals.
Saturday morning the IFFC is contacted to cancel the match couple hours to be kicked off. This was unfair for the Celtics who at least by chance could play a friendly with a Chinese team and also unfair to the IFFC & referees. 3:0 win to the Celtics and 1.000RMB fine to the I.S.B.-boys who will deceide on Wednesday if they play or not. If not 21 C Korea A will join the Third Division.
