Blue Nun continued their unbeaten run with a 3-1 over African Imitators, and manager Paul Murray will now take his side into their opening league match full of confidence.
" It wasn't the greatest performance tonight, but our strikers were again in good form. We are now six games unbeaten and are in good shape for the season opener against EspÅda. We could play one more friendly, but we will give the players a little break so that their fresh for the opening game. A few players are still a little short on fitness, so we will be working them hard in training to get them up to speed as soon as possible. Our aim is to get promotion which will be tough, but i'm confident with the squad i have and i expect a big season. "

Rubbish
St Omer's 3 - 0 defeat in the friendly against Blue Nun FC means that they have now gone nineteen games without a win. That hardly bodes well with the new season nearly upon us and manager Cony Tottee is hoping that his new signings might see the results improve.
out of the cup
Cup holders were sent out of the cup on chances created last night. It proved one away tie too many and credit has to go to Mshow’s manager who got his tactic right on the night. Although it is disappointing not to successfully defend our title at least we have got some good match practice in and the new signings are settling well. Lets hope this squad can finally realise it’s potential and we’re not in for another relegation scrap!
friendly
nice warm up match... for the opposition. getting thumped 3-0 is no embarassment though. At least it was less than ten, much stronger team only put three in against us, just sad that we didn't even have a shot at goal. Next friendly will be the youngest side ever put out but hopefully it will be invaluable experience for the youngsters!!
Oliver makes step up !!
Blue Nun continued their good form with a 3-0 win over St. Omar. Manager Paul Murray was pleased with his sides display, and is also delighted to welcome Jeffrey Oliver into the squad after making the step up from the youth team.
" It was another good performance with the new season not far away. Some of the young lads that came in done well and showed that they can have bright futures at the club. Hopefully we can organise another friendly or two before the season starts, which will give us a chance to give Jeffrey Oliver a run-out. He's been impressing in the youth team and has been called into the first team squad for the forthcoming season. He's an exciting prospect, and we now have a good blend of youth and experience which i'm sure will stand us in good stead. "

Major transfers
Flare United manager Izuka has returned to his roots, approaching the manager of his old club, OAP Pop Punk, to make probably the biggest deal of the whole pre-season. With the club's recent relegation from the top flight, many big stars were eager to leave, and DBYC was more than happy to bring Flare United captain and star striker, Ernie Ormondroyd, arguably the best forward in the RM Invitational, to George at Asda Pop Punk Park. So eager was the veteran manager, in fact, that he sent two of his most promising youngsters the other way in exchange.
Of his two captures, it is Nani that Izuka rates more highly at the moment, though he believes defender Acton Ruddock will become a real star in the future. At the Starburst Arena, Nani will wear his favoured number 17 jersey, while Ruddock has been handed the number 2 jersey recently vacated by Philipp Bitzer. However, neither player has yet to see their new home as an insider, with the Flare United squad currently undergoing pre-season fitness training in Egypt.
Asked about his front line for the coming season, Izuka reported via Skype from deep inside the Sahara Desert that "Jimmy McGinnity and Chris Tretton are now ready to feature regularly in the starting eleven whenever needed. However, it will be the experience of Iain Emery that will help us find the back of the net most this season, with heavy backing from midfield." Emery, now 30, has never exactly shone for Flare United up front, always in the shadow of Ormondroyd. However, with the departure of Ormondroyd and first choice goalkeeper Alex Bogefeldt among others, players such as Dustin Moss and Emery who have been playing second fiddle all this while will have to step up to the plate this coming season as Flare United battle to return to the top flight.
