Reviewed by Srinidhi..

Rajarajeshwari FC – 3 vs. Hoysalas FC – 3 - 01-Dec

‘Chander,Vasu,Das

Hi Hoysalas,

What a Game!! What a comeback that’s what we want at this stage….It is the definite words which came out from every hoysalas players after the match concluded. All it started on Saturday, as usual the game hoysalas played was below par, after the new team took the lead in the first half the players were down, we started the second half nervously where we were punished for poor defending and were down 0-3 with 10 minutes to go… Das who kept in the first half returned to his usual position, then raja who earlier played as centre back was shifted to midfield, which proved to be a gud move, chander scored the opener with cool a finish inside the box with a lob over keeper’s head, then vasu scored absolute blinder from the right wing to make 2 for hoysalas which ignited the chances for hoysalas, fired up hoysalas just began to show their class at the other end as opposition denied the clear penalty, but in the dying moments makeshift mid fielder Raja who was unmarked took a shot which struck the defenders hand to give away much needed penalty for hoysalas, where das completed the formalities to level the score line with 3-3 . Thus the match ended in thrilling draw where hoysalas came back to register one of the best comebacks in hoysalas football history.

Man of the Match - Chander/Vasu

‘Das,Madan,Hari

Hi Hoysalas,

After making their best comeback in their previous match, hoysalas were more confident going into this game, although RFC made a brilliant start to the game trying to attack from the starting minute itself to take the revenge of yesterdays encounter, but often failed to open up the rock solid defence of hoysalas which gave away nothing, as the game progressed hoysalas took control of the game slowly and looked more comfortable in breaking the links between midfield and strikers, which gave an initial advantage to hoysalas to go forward and attack the RFC defence, Das once again proved to be the key for hoysalas as he and raja combined well to openthe scoring with brilliant strike from the top of the D, once hoysalas got the much needed lead, players played more confidently to pressurize the opposition in their own half, and soon another brilliant goal followed the great opener, this by time by another mid fielder Madan, it was absolute screamer from 40 yards..But the best goal was resrved for thelast..Harish who won the ball just outside the D..sent in a piledriver..to seal the match at 3-0. Chander was outsanding in the defence..ably supported by Karthik, Abhi, Srini & Jagga..Windy, Madan & Swamy were instrumental in cutting off the attack from the opposition. Darshan was very impressive & troubled the opposition defence with his pace..Harish played a special game..& was voted as Man of the Match from our friend Boris..

Man of the Match - Harish/Darshan

Congrats to the whole team from my side who stood as a team right from the start and achieved the morale boosting victory just before the C Divisionleague starts. Thanks a lot and keep it up….Hats off to the team…

Regards,

Srinidhi.S

Review for Week 30 & 31 : A win & 3 defeat against new opposition

Hi

A new opposition atlast..

1 win out of 4 against a decent team is at best below average performance from us. We lost the first 2 Won the 3rd & lost the 4th again..

The first game was evenly fought..but a terribel error from Jagga & Raja gave the opposition the winning goal in dying moments of the game.
In the Second game we played bad football & lost 1-5..
Third game we bounced back & had full control of the game & came away with a clean sheet after a long time..Darshan & Harish scored a goal each to seal the victory.
We lost the 4th one within 10 minutes thru 2 errors from the defence & goalkeeper..though we got into the game with a goal from Das..we never really were in a chance after those 2 goals

Man of the match Game 1 - Harish
Man of the match Game 2 - Biddu

Review for Week 29 : Hoysala lose as swamy scores at the wrong end twice

Vs Vinayaka
lost 0-2

Hi,

Match against Vinayaka after two victories looked interesting..but with most of the players not available..we had pretty young team for the match...and we did perform quite well with the team that we had. We lost the match thru 2 own goals by swamy one as a player & other as goalkeeper. It was really unfortunate as we had managed to keep them quite the whole match. Srinidhi was the standout player for us..he looked very fit after many months & showed he can be very gud at his new position as a striker.

If we are not playing against any team this week..hoping to kickstart HEL this week..

Man of the Match - Srinidhi

Review for Week 28 : Das & Shashi lead Hoysalas to Second staright victory

Vs Young Boys
Won 10-4

Hi,

One more victory thanks to a whole team effort..where everyone played there best.

A 10-4 score looks a bit too much for football..but the fact is that we played the match for nearly 150 minutes tells the real story. Das scored 5 wonderful goals & Shahsi got his first goal for Hoysalas & went on to claim a hatrick & Srinidhi scored 2. The victory was better than the previous one as the opponents were better than the last time we played them..with more senior players coming in..
An allround performance from the whole team ensured a pretty comfortable victory..Karthik was outstanding in the defence so were Windy & Jagga..Abhi did his part well in holding the midfiled..but the standout performers were Shashi & Das.

Hoping to c more victories like this..but the real one is reserved for Vinayaka..hope they have enough BALLS to play against us this week

Man of the Match - Das/Shashi

Review for Week 27 : Hurray!!! A Win Atlast

Vs Young Boys
Won 10-6

Hi,

A victory atlast!!

A good performance against a Young Boys saw Hoysala's register there first win after 5 months..
A poor start saw Hoysalas conceding 4 goals in the first half but picked themselves up in the second half thru goals from Srinidhi (3), Biddu (3), Narayan (2), Vasu (1) & Raja (1).

Defence was pretty poor in the early part of the game with defenders swamy & karthik & Goalee Raja responsible for the goals conceded in the first half..but Swamy kept well when he was substitued a sgoalee & Karthik stood out in the second half. Shashi, Das, Vasu & Narayan played some beautiful football which consistently put pressure on the opposition defence. Both Srinidhi & Biddu looked out of sorts but scored a hatrick each.

Dasara has really has been lucky for us..lets hope we start winning from here..though the real test is against Vinayaka & some other better teams..for the moment though lets enjoy this win.

Man of the Match - Narayan/Vasu

I wish Narayan a "HAPPY MARRIED LIFE" on behalf of Hoysala's..

Review for Week 26 : Same old story continues

Vs Vinayaka
Lost 1-3

Hi,

Our problems are as old as hills & we havent yet found the solution..we have been playing pretty good football for the last four weeks & yet havent able to win or draw a game..

A different & new attacking statergy in this match almost worked..with six players in attacking positions..we had the game under control & took the lead early in the first half with some good passing & some cool finishing by Raja.. We had 3 more straight forward chances & we didnt take them. As in most of the matches this season when we looked set to win we gave away a rather easy goal & they followed it up with two more, all 3 goals were scored in the last 15 minutes.

The intent is there but we seem to be going somewhere wrong in the execution
i think its getting little bit frustrating..

for the record
Last time we won was on 27th May 2007 against BU
From 27th May Onwards we have played 22 games lost 21 & 1 Draw
Out of 33 matches this season we have won 3, 4 draw & lost 26
We have scored 39 goals & conceded 92 goals

Hope this Dasara or Deepavali or atleast Christmas brings us some luck..if not no need to worry Sankranthi will follow soon.
I promise a big party to all the members on the day we win.

Man of the Match - Raja

Review by Srinidhi

Hi,

Hoysala’s are now starting to find their old form once they were known for, this week was clear witness of that, although Vinayaka FC emerged as late winners, were far from threatening to the young hoysalas.

Hoysalas started the game in absence of several key players, the young hoysalas were totally in control of the game right from the start of the match, swamy took the initiative in absence of the skipper windoor to lead the side, although he was back from the “back injury” which ruined the most part of the on-going season started brilliantly at the back commanding the team right from the start, in absence of windoor (right back) chandru took over the position and played brilliantly, at other end left back jagga also had an outstanding game keeping the opposition open play alt many times, as defense chipped in with great performance, defensive mid fielders also had an excellent game by protecting the defense on many occasions, in absence of girish, abhi chipped in with some useful contribution to the team providing assists to forwards as wells as timed tackles to protect defense, the versatile player madan joined the arms with abhi in defensive mid playing one of the game of his life in his hoysalas football career, he was very instrumental in protecting the left side of the defense, where he developed a very good understanding with jagga to keep opposition at bay, our both playmakers Das & Vas also played vital role in building the attack on the other end providing the much needed assists to lone forward srinidhi(so called fox in the box – Just kidding), the best chance of the match came in the second half when das combined with the abhi to play beautiful one touch football which over came oppositions defense, but virtually ending with another ruined chance where Vincent the opposition defender came in to rescue for the hosts, as the game went on Das had one more chance on the target but this time it was denied by the goalie moni. Even oppositions tried lot of options up front to find a goal but were denied by the much organized defense & Mahesh (goalie) in particular, as game was heading to a tame draw, the stand in skipper swamy fumbled at his own half which gave the much needed break to vinayaka as they capitalized to find the net this time with smart finishing from vinayaka’s player (Name not known). Although the draw was a fair result for young hoysalas, they lost the game in the dying minutes yet again. Anyway the results will not make much difference to this side at present; the hoysalas are now finding the touch they had lost, I think we are a real deal in upcoming matches, vinayaka FC will be very eager to beat this young hoysalas.

Man of the Match - Mahesh/Madan
