Central Park Rangers FC

Japan FC 0 – 6 CPR Reds Reserves

Japan were completely outclassed in this one-sided affair. We played well and easily saw off any threats. The highlights of the game was 1st ever hatrick from Bola and a Messiesque individual goal from Christian.

Japan FC 4 – 1 CPR Reds

We suffered from a lack of chances, a strong opposition and a lack of subs and options. The pre-kick-off withdrawal of Rich (hammy), Christian and LeMatt didn’t help but we never came to terms with the speed and movement of Japan. We were caught flat at the back too many times and failed to deal with their effective back-line led by their star Number 3. If only a pen decision went our way at 2-1 it could’ve been different as if we had more options for kick-off and subs.
