League Presentation Service

11 LAFC players attended the presentation service on Sunday evening walking down the red carpet to what was a star studded event. A number of major fashion and sports companies had managed to get the celebrities to where their labels. Amoung the labels spotted by this reportor include the likes of Nike, Converse, Base, Next, Burtons, Base, Puma it was even rumoured that one star was wearing M&S.

LAFC won trophies. Club Captain O'neil Brown collected the trophy for the Mike Laxton Cup and then later in the evening led the team forward to collect the Division 3 trophy and their medals. Micheal Ayu Ogbe of LAFC also was awarded a trophy for the seasons top goal scorer.

Laos Athletic 7 - All Saints 5

Saturday was the last of the LAFC's pre-season friendlies. In a high scoring match LAFC achieved 3 wins out of 3 pre-season to start the league on to a winning streak. This the opposite to last season where they started the season the back of two defeats.

Only having 12 players on Saturday the LAFC Manager had different set of selection issues to some of the previous games where upto 18 players were available for selection. There were fine performances from a number of the players who took the opportunity of a full game to try and gain themselves a starting role in the first match next week. Whether they were succesful only time will tell.

3 out of 3?

Saturday is LAFC's third and final friendly before the season really kicks off. With 2 wins already LAFC are hoping to make it 3 out of 3. LAFC are ready to put right the result of last seasons friendly which they lost 7-0 (we think!)

This match has added significance as it is a precursor to the 1st round of the Mike King Trophy where both teams meet for the first time in competition.

History Repeats Itself

The 5-a-side squad repeated last years achievement of reaching the quarter finals of the competition.

LAFC face local derby in 1st round

Last night amongst a media frenzy the draws for the Mike King Trophy and the Mike Laxton cup took place.

A tough 1st two rounds faces LAFC in the Mike King Trophy having drawn local side All Saints Peckham in the first round then if successful a home tie against UCF in the second. The two Peckham based sides have only met in friendlies never in competition so both teams are looking forward to the clash.

Following promotion to the second division and winning the Mike Laxton Cup last season LAFC have gained a bye for the first round of the cup and will face the winners of Christchurch Beckenham and Selsdon Baptist B in the second.

Watch this Space

Tonight is the draw for the first two rounds of the Mike Laxton Cup and Mike King Trophy. LAFC hope their draws will help them repeat the successes they had in both competitions last season.

Next Saturday is the League 5-a-side competition. The 8 players selected to represent LAFC will be announced here first.

Laos Athletic 10 (ish) - Uz's Team 4 (ish)

Laos played their 2nd of 3 friendlies at Peckham Rye on Saturday, although initially it looked like it might be called off. This was as a result of not having a referee, nets and the pitch not being in great condition having been repaired in the previous week due to collapsed drainage.

Following his injury on Tursday Chris was fit enough to play. He played a great game in the 2nd half after he had refereed the 1st.

Goal highlights (we can't remebr them all!)
First goal for Michael Taylor making his debut up front
Great goal from centre-back Junior
A fine strike (to quote John) from Ende
And (another!) hatrick from Michael Ayu Ogbe

Laos Injury Crisis Continues Part 2

Thursday saw Laos take part in a training match. In two separate incidents, but both as a result of challenges, Chris hurt his back possibly as a result of catching a nerve and Alix twisted his ankle badly. Neither player was able to continue to play. It is hoped that might be available for selection for Saturday's friendly but being only two days away the decision maybe taken to give the a rest.

The players, club and fans are hoping this trend of injuries isn't going to continue.

Laos Injury Crisis Continues

An injury sustained to his foot sustained in the 1st half of the match against Eltham prohibited Shaun from playing in the 2nd half and was replaced by Junior between the sticks. With last season's top defender Dave out for 5+ weeks with a broken ankle the management are hoping their injury list isn't going to get any longer.

Shaun had a medical examination late Saturday night and it is hoped that he should be fit for next weeks friendly. Shaun will undergo a fitness test on Thursday and a decision will be made then on his availability for selection.

After the injury sustained during the friendlies last season to Jon which kept him out of most of the last season, the management are hoping that losing key players before the season truly kicks off isn't going to be seasonal trend.

Laos' 1st pre-friendly saw them reverse the score that saw them knocked out of the Mike King Cup last season. Laos showed the depth of talent available in their squad by fielding 17 different players during the game. An encouraging start for Laos as they face an unknown team (both on the pitch and also their team name) next week.
