HFL Standings at the end of First Week

HFL first week review by SRINIDHI

Match 1

Monsters-5 vs Wolves-1

Coming back to H.F.L, the first match of the season was played between defending champions Monsters and Wolves, the champions Monsters opened their defence with positive start to the campaign with complete demolition of Wolves. The game saw Monsters dominating the entire game with outstanding all round display from the entire team, where skipper & hoysalas playmaker Vasu scoring the first hatrick of the tournament creating another record in H.F.L with first ever hatrick on tournament opener, however srinidhi(so called Fox in the Box) opened the scoring for Monsters within 10 mins from the start where, Wolves came back with equalizer just at the end of the halftime, thus first half of the H.F.L new season opener finished with score line reading 1-1, second half witnessed more demolition act from the defending champions, where their skipper vasu came back to haunt Wolves with scoring 3 goals in very short span of time, along with vasu arun contributed another goal for Monsters as Monsters completed their demolition act against wolves with a sweet 5-1 victory.

Match2

Guns’N’Bullets - 1 vs Monsters - 3

The next match was played between Defending champions Monsters and Guns’N”Bullets, where GNB made Monsters to work hard more, GNB approached the game with more attacking fashion, pressing on Monsters for more occasions but it was arun who made a long range shoot right from the half to open the scoring for Monsters, but GNB fought very hard to hold Monsters but once again skipper vasu came in very handy with a crucial goal on the other end as monsters took complete control of the game, GNB pulled one back thru Abhiram, when monsters defender Karthik collided with GNB striker Abhiram to concede the goal, at closing stages of the match monsters striker srinidhi completed the game with yet another name on score sheet to take 2 goal cushion lead over GNB. So match once gain concluded with Monsters clinching the top spot with two consecutive victories in H.F.L.

Match 3

Guns’N’Bullets – 1 vs Guts’N’Glory - 1

The third match of the campaign begin when Guts’N’Glory tested the title credentials of Guns’N’Bullets, although the score line suggests both were very hard to break down, after going down to league leaders monsters in their last game, GNB made right start, with much more defensive approach to the game adding with some physical presence in it, but it was GNG who opened the scoring in form of their skipper Sunil who scored a screamer from the half line, but there after game progressed rather slowly although GNG did try to break on more occasions but laterally failed, where GNB came good in second half with much more determined mindset to win the game, finally Madan got the equalizer right at the stoppage time thru a controversial goal allowed by referees.

So, it was the first fantastic week for H.F.L, with Monsters clinching the top spot of the table, Guts’N’Glory placed right behind the leaders at second spot, where Guns’N’Bullets & Wolves making 3 & 4^th position respectively.

HFL Begins with a Bang

H.F.L 2007 resumed after a long break, with all 4 teams lined up to fight the supremacy over each other. Monsters, Guts’n’Glory, Guns‘n’Bullets, Wolves were the fantastic four teams to start the tournament for the new season. I would like to thank all 4 team & there players for giving HFL the much needed enthusiasm.
With Das, Girish, Shashi coming back next week we should expect more fireworks..

There is a slight change in the fixtures..We have decided to prepone the future matches & now it will be played on 01/09/2007 & 02/09/2007..i.e this saturday we will finish the league games & the next day Semifinals & final will follow..

Review for Week 22 : Misery Continues

Vs Vinayaka
lost 1-5

Hi,

Started off well, had good amount of ball possession till the early part of second half & than as usual lost the plot & suffered a humiliating defeat..

We conceded a early goal but got back with some flowing football & levelled the scores with Madan scoring a very good goal after Das played him in with a beautiful pass. Before that Madan missed a sitter where all he needed to do was to shoot at the target. Another good performance came from goalee Mahesh he saved atleast 4-5 clear goals. A tremendous improvement from him. The rest of the team did well in the first half but once the second goal was scored from Vinayaka than we played awfully & conceded 3 more..

Man of the Match : Madan

Review for week 21 : Another miserable week

Hi,

Its getting worse week by week for us..and the saddest part is that everyone seems to have lost the desire to win a game..

Vs Vinayaka

lost 0-4

A miserable performance where we took the ball to opponents 'D' only once..nothing else to write about this match

Man of the Match : None

Vs NITTE
lost 1-3

Good amount of ball possession & more than a dozen opportunities to score & we lost the match by 1-3. Everyone played pretty badly except me.. i m sorry to say this but everyone lacked basic football instincts in the match..its the fourth match aginst NITTE & i still wonder how can we loose all the 4 matches to them..they are way below us in terms experience & skills.

Man of the Match : Raja

Lets hope everything goes on well from next week..& please make sure to Participate in the HFL from next week onwards..

Mid-week Review for week 20 : Bad luck continues

Vs Vinayaka
lost 0-1

Hi,

It was one of our best performance in a long time but still we couldnt win the game..thanks to a goal scored after our Goalee Mahesh fumbled the ball due to a bad bounce. There were atleast 3 clear chances for us to score & as it is common nowadays with us..we couldnt convert them. Dinesh played his best football since he started playing & had couple of strikes saved by the opposite goalee..Nari, Vasu, Chandru, Das all had a good game. Abhiram playing as a fullback did well & its gud to c players wanting to play at the back. Our defending was great .. they hardly had any chances. Mahesh had a great game except for one mistake which cost us the game.

Man of the match - Dinesh

Review for Week 20 : Youngsters Shine in Defeat

Vs Vinayaka
Lost 4-6

Hi,

One more defeat..but there are many positives to take from this match. Our youngest players Darshan & Harish scored goals for us in this match. Harish Scored 2 & Darshan 1. And for the first time in our club's history Das has overtaken Biddu as the top scorer with 11 goals. So a great week for us inspite of the loss. There were three own goals scored by us & that was the difference at the end..but due to the damp conditions we cant blame anyone for this.. Overall a great team performance.

Lets hope we start winning from the next week..

Man of The Match - Harish

Happy Independence Day..Vande Mataram

Team Hoysala
