Engels Nixed
Having dismissed Queenstown a second time, Grilled Birds have set up another twofer against league rivals, with Glory Paradiso scheduled twice in the span of five days the week after. "Personally, I would have preferred to meet a wider variety of clubs, but if that's how it is, I can hardly complain."
Brian Reddy commented.
Farmer Bunnies advanced in the Consolation Cup too, with
Mauro Fau finding the net from a top-class free-kick 62 minutes in. The Buns would smother Toa Payoh V.5 club Marx Engels FC the conventional way, but a lack of any recognized striker would stay their hands. They would then have to survive a scare as Yip Shun Leong rushed in from the left after 70 minutes, only to pull the ball wide.
Over to Grilled International, they were eliminated from the H.I. Emerald Challenger Cup by Chinese H.I. V.174 representatives Nixu International, who outgunned them 5-2, with Chen Xinkun finishing it with an energetic brace.
Snæbjörn Sigfússon shone as he assisted
Waldemar Gołata and
Leri Bezhanishvili while nearly grabbing one himself in the 20th minute, but that would unfortunately contribute to a successful Nixu counter.
