How many opponents would suffer concussion from a German piledriver? Would the opposition bring a full team? With half of their squad going to be away on a beano, Sporting had […]

Match report: Raiders 4 – 0 Gemadept
So another match against Gemadept on the slab of concrete covered in molten rubber that Ky Hoa sports club humorously calls ‘astroturf’.
