Sporting League: game 18
Champions Bayerns managed to hold leaders Universo to a one – one draw after an abject start to the season. Sporting Radio pundit A: ‘Bayerns have to move on from it mentally. You often find when young footballers come in there is a lack of fear – we’re seeing that happen with Universo. However, with Bayerns who are slightly older and more experienced you see them end up playing it really safe, it can become a bit of a millstone around the neck. I think Universo were unlucky not to get three or four out there today, despite only having about thirty percent of the possession.’
Yop Lane moved closer to the top after winning with their second string squad against Zindustrious.‘
Novia beat Sporting Athlete by a goal to nil at home. Novia boss: ‘We were lucky out there today, their forwards just didn’t create goals. We were hounded in midfield but managed to hang on. It was one of those games where we ground out a result…I’m very proud of the players and those kind of points can make all the difference at the business end of the season.’
Athletico won the derby game against Chamber Athlete by two goals to one. Sporting Radio pundit Y: ‘Athletico were lacking creativity in the midfield. I think it’s unusual for the Athleticans to be soft in an area that they’ve always excelled….they’re putting square pegs in round holes.’
In spite of Olby’s poor start to the season, their theatre district is in the ascendancy: Playeso theatre boss:
‘I’m very proud of the shows and pieces we make but I wish more and more that audiences could see inside the rehearsal room, a bit like the footballers dressing rooms to be honest. That’s where theatre is most like itself: a liquid thing, restless, full of spontaneities and unexpected shifts. I think we’re developing something quite unique down here – Olby could turn out to be The Sporting capital of culture. We are looking to put a few bids in to the sporting council for a new arts centre but the current climate of unrest has put the brakes on for the next six months.’
