Lets Semi Final

On Friday we played GCA to see which team would make the final of the knockout competion.

We had plenty of players and were able to put our strongest team on the field.

The game started well for us against the league champions and we were one nil up at half time thanks to a great goal from Kazuki.

The second half saw both teams fighting it out and our star Brazilian Gumelo score again and we held on to win 2nil. Knocking the league champions out of the competiton.

Next week is the final against a strong Saint Marks team.

Go Lets

Knockout Competiton

Last Friday Lets undertook the challange to become the best soccer team in the ELSA league. Our first game was against ACE language school. After a slow start Lets received a penalty after a foul inside the box. Marconi took the penalty and it was one nil to Lets. One Nil was the score at half time. In the second half we received a penalty just outside the box and Gulmeio scored making it two nil to Lets. We scored again at the end thanks to some great lead up play.

The final scored finished 3-0 and we progressed to the Semi final to Play GCLA the defending champions.

Soccer Results

Just a week before the finals LETS F.C faced a difficult game against ASPECT.

The weather was fine and we had 13 players wanting to play.

The first half was an evenly matched but we moved ahead with some good goals from Ciao and Kazuki.

In the second half the fitness of the LETS players showed through and we were able to

win 4-1.

Next week is the big game against ACE. It is a knockout competition, so if we are to go

to the next stage in the tournament, it is a must win. See you there!

Game Lets F.C versus Ability

Go Alex! Shoot!

After the recent rain Lets F.C was able to play Ability at Queens Park last Friday. Coming into the game Lets had some new player Woo Jin and Ju Young from South Korea they were anxious to play and meet the rest of the team. Ability started well and scored their first goal from some good lead up play and it was one nil at half time to Ability. Immediately after the start of the second half Alex playing in his last game scored a goal and when we got a penalty afterwards we took a 2-1 lead.

Things were looking great, then, we took a 3-1 lead with ten minutes to go.

Unfortunately some late goals from Ability gave them a draw at 3-3 which was the final score.

I would like to thank Alex for his effort in his last game for Lets and wish him all the best in America

Soccer 20th June

After the rain had cleared. Lets F.C trying to futher reach the top 0f the table played GCA.
GCA had some very fast players and boasted a goal kepper whom most on the Lets team were familar with. After the kick off the game was evenly matched with both teams missing some chances. It was GCA who took the lead with a run away goal midway through the first half. After some good lead up work we struck back and it was one goal all. We fell behind just before half time and GCA had a 2-1 lead.
The second half saw our team hit the post and misses because of some brillent saves by the GCA keeper. Another run away goal made it 3-1 which was the final result.

Round 2 Games 2

Hear Yees and Oh Yezzes,

Second game round two had its moments.

St Marks needed the win from ACE and it all went to plan with a goal in the first five minutes to St Marks. A solid first half ensued but no addition to the scoreline. Second half...WOW!! Here's how it went: 2-0, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2 to St M's, 3-3(penalty), then in the last 5 minutes 2 goals to St Marks to put it away 5-3. Phew!

GCA had LETS 3-1 but they fair ran the orange ragged they did, 1-nil to GCA in the first half, 2-0, 2-1 then 3-1 to finish off a good game.

SELC scored a slaughterhouse five in the first half against APC and continued on the same path to finish 11-3. Too easy.

Ability had the first half won at 1-0 but let Aspect back in the game 1-1, and then as if to rock the optimism all to pieces in the Ability camp, the Abies got a penalty awarded against them in the last second of the game to lose to Aspect 2-1. It just won't fall for Justin, will it? Still, it was a far cry from the ten-niller in the first round, wasn't it?

So SELC take the goal average back from GCA in the race and St Marks retain 3rd spot. ACE go back to bed with LETS and Aspect draw away from APC with Ability trailing behind still on the bottom rung unable to find a win.

Maybe this week Ability can find it when they play APC?

If ACE can find something akin to what got them a draw with SELC a few weeks back, it may shake up the GCA lads but there does seem to be some momentum building for the orange men.

LETS and St Marks go head to head in their second encounter, remembering that LETS drew 2-2 in comical circumstances in their first round fiasco.

And SELC take on the Aspect in their second meeting. Will it be another five f' none to Bert's boys?

It's beautiful to contemplate it all, isn't it?

I reckon.

Cheers,

Bill

Friday the 13th Soccer

Friday the 13Th proved to be unlucky for the LET.S F.C against the continuously improving Ace.

Out team was lucky to field 11players with Yuji, Kouji and a number of players missing. Thanks to Hiro for helping out. By the time we got the team on the pitch there was a big wind blowing across the pitch. We fell behind at half time 1-0 to Ace because of a well taken free kick.

The second half did not prove to be much better than the first half with the wind and conditions making the ball difficult to control. The final score of Ace 2 Lets 0 was the final score.
We have a tough game this week against the top side so we hope to see you at the game.
