Thanks to all of the players, new and old, who ran their asses off
this weekend. We had the largest team that I can remember in any
cup and we needed everyone one of us. The sun, the heat, the bone
crunching tackles all took their toll and we were down to just a few
subs by the end of it. But that is how we usually begin, so thanks
to all!

As for the result, it could have been better but the effort was
there and I think we should be satisfied if not pleased. There were
a few new faces, some returning faces and even the regulars haven't
played in almost 8 weeks. So all in all, not bad.

Just a note for those of you who left early; Manattack won the Cup
in a shoot out of Phoenix. JFC won the plate over Da'an. Shane's
man won keeper of the tourney. Our own Celts FC group member,
Bolly, won the Golden Boot in a stunning shootout with what's-his-
nuts from the Lions.

I've saved the best for last. Our very own captain, savior and all
around legend, Lar `Cranky Pants' Kenny, took home a most deserved
MVP of the Tournament award. He'll dismiss this as all modest super-
stars do, but every team in Taiwan knows what he brings every time
he steps on the field. So congratulations, Lar… that was a long
time coming!
