answer to Mes onslaught...........click here for

attempt to win back to back titles was back on song..................click here for full

It has been decided that Monopoly/Steelcase
is to participate in this seasons' Legal League Champions
League, on the basis
that Monopoly/Steelcase will
arrange pitches for competitive group games against Mes Amis,
PAFC, HKAE and AdW. These games are to be fixed
and played at pitches arranged by Monolopy/Steelcase by 30 November
2006. The top 2 teams from this group enter into semi finals
against the top 2 teams of the other group, comprising BoC's, Legal
Head, Spartans, Revolution and J-Leaguers.
In early December, the Legal League Committee will meet
again to decide whether Monopoly/Steelcase's results be included in
this season's league proper or make any other decision it sees
fit. Obviously, if Monopoly/Steelcase can arrange for a good
deal more than 4 pitches before 30 November 2006, then this would
assist Monopoly/Steelcase make a persuasive case for inclusion in the
league proper when the Legal League Committee meets to decide in early
December.
Legal League had three matches with the big block buster
between champions PAFC and Mes Amis taking place at Happy
Valley. The game didn't disappoint with a thrilling 1-1 draw
as Mes salvaged a point in the last
minute. In the other games JLeaguers scored
a single goal to record their first win in the legal
league against unlucky Revolution side. In
the final fixture at Kowloon Tsai HKAE lost in a

their acheivement can be seen at the messageboard and on their website.
Legal League was in full swing this weekend with 2
league matches both
producing results for reigning champions PAFC and an amazing come from
behind win for BOC against the skillful new team JLeaguers. Over the

season. Three times league champions ADW dominated most of the game but
poor finishing let them down. ADW only secured the win in the final
minutes leaving a tense final 10 minutes. HKAE will rue their chances
when locked at 0-0 if not for an excellent save by ADW's goalkeeper
Nathan Slaymaker. Midway through the 2nd half ADW scored their first
goal through Anders Olsen, before sealing the game in the dying minutes
with a well taken shot by Christian Trads.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
SEMI-FINAL - RESULTS.
BOC 0 vs Wanchai
Spartans 5
BOC only having bare numbers and missing some crucial
players where out gunned by the large Spartans contingent. The Spartans
went into the break with a slender 1-nil lead. However the Spartans
played the more positive and determined football in the second half to
progressed to the final. Spartans who came first from the group of
death will go into the final without having lost a single point in the
Champions League.
Mes Amis 3 vs
Revolution 1
Mes Amis looked the more threatening side as they
deserved a confident victory against Revolution side who rue a few
vital misses at crucial times. Mes Amis who took the lead in the first
half and were 1-nil up at the break continued to press forward.
Revolution and Mes Amis played some excellent football early in the 2nd
half before Mes Amis was awarded a penalty. Mes took the lead to 2-0
and they never looked back after slotting another in before Revolution
got a late consolation goal.

ADW 3 vs HKAE 3
League Season 2006/2007 Season commence on Sat
19/08/2006 at Po Lam with new side HKAE salvaging a 3-3 draw after
being down 3-1. HKAE who had a surplus of players for their first
league game of the season seem to struggle early with ADW's precise
passing game. ADW who only had the bare 12 were a bit short on numbers
and couldn't hold on to the lead in the heat as HKAE numerical
advantage helped them salvage a point in their first league game.
The Teams play one another again next week in a much
anticipated rematch at Kowloon Tsai .
| Message
From Chairman |

Welcome to the 2006/2007 Legal League Season!
A lot has happened over the summer break, so I
thought prior to the season kicking off, I should update you all on
some of the developments (and things we have in the pipeline):
1. New Season, New
Teams!
The new season kicks off in a few weeks time and
the biggest news is that the League is expanding from 7 to 9
teams this season! The two new teams may be familiar to some of you
from the friendlies scene, they are HKAE (run by Eric Woo) and the
J'Leaguers (run by Yozo Kayamori). Let me be the first to
welcome them to the League. I'm sure they'll both be worthy
additions.
Also, just a note, but details of the subs to be
paid by each team for the new season will be sent around shortly. We
expect it to be in the region of around $3,000. That money, of course,
goes solely toward pitch bookings, trophies and if there's a surplus, a
couple of functions for all members of the League.
2. Fixtures and
Pitches
More good news! Both of our new teams
have access to pitches (including Happy Valley), so we are
hopeful of being able to organize more regular games at better venues
this season. In addition to Happy Valley, we are confident of being
able to book pitches at Aberdeen and we're also
looking at introducing Friday night fixtures at Sandy Bay. Based on our
experience of turn-outs for friendlies on a Friday night, we're
confident most teams will be able to get a team together for a 7.30 or
7.45 kick off on a Friday night (provided the game is played on the
Island), leaving plenty of time to get down to LKF/Wanchai or back home
to the family afterwards!
Lou will shortly be circulating a fixture list
for August and September. Obviously with the new teams being
admitted to the league, we need more pitches, so we're making a
concerted effort to get as many pitches as possible this season.(Many,
many thanks to Henry Vera for his efforts in that regard!)
3. A New Website!
Ok, so it's not quite up and running yet ('it is
now'), but we are in the process of organizing a Legal League
website at www.legalleague.net,
so stay tuned! Lets face it, we're always wasting time at work surfing
the web and while a League website may not be as interesting as some of
the other pages we all frequent, we figured it may help to pass the
time every now and then!
The website will contain all the usual features
- tables, statistics, match reports, photos and a message
board. Of course, the site will only be as good as the
contributions we all submit to it, so please submit a heap of
photos (including action both on and off the pitch!), match reports and
anything else that may be of interest! Each team will also be asked to
submit a brief history of the team and a team emblem for their
section of the site.
4. Sponsorship
The Committee is also in the process
of obtaining a few new sponsors for the League. Basically it
was decided that whilst some teams have fairly successful individual
sponsorship arrangements in place already, each and every
member of the League deserves cheap food and drinks from some of our
favourite bars, so we are in the process
of approaching a few bars in Lan Kwai Fong, SOHO and
Wanchai to sponsor the league and provide discount cards to all
players. We'll keep you posted.
5. Administration
Finally, on the (somewhat boring) administrative
side of things, a new 'Executive Committee' has been appointed to run
the League.
As many of you know, Lewis Man has almost
single-handedly kept this League going for the last few years by
organizing pitches, arranging fixtures and dealing with
all administrative issues. Having now been involved
in organizing the League for the past few weeks, all I can say
is that I'm not sure too many of us realize the amount of time and
effort Lou has put in to make sure we can all have a decent
game of football on a Saturday arvo. Lou, all I can say is
thanks for all your hard work.
Basically, it was decided that going
forward we'd need 3 or 4 people to do all the work Lou had been doing,
so we formed a committee to run the League! Introducing the
infamous 4 - The Committee Members are myself (Chairman),
Henry Vera (Treasurer), Chi Sam Mann (BOCs) and
Stephen (Spike) Mantle (PAFC). Lou has kindly offered to stay on and
assist the Committee as Fixtures and Statistics Officer and Dave Yip is
going to take on the role of Registration Officer and keep track of who
is playing for who! As has always been the case, we encourage
all members of the League to have a say in running it, so please let us
know if you have any comments, suggestions or downright criticisms!
oooOOOooo
Well, that's enough for now as its nearly 'beer
o'clock' on a lovely Friday afternoon, but let me once again welcome
you all to the 2006/2007 Legal League Season.
It's an exciting time for the League with
Champions League semis coming up and new teams being welcomed, so I'll
look forward to seeing a lot of you over the coming weeks!
Cheers
AS
