The Pursuit of Happiness
‘Twas a beautiful crisp, sunny, Saturday afternoon. Moral was high (whoooooo), Jimmy had turned 40, Vinny, Pat and Sven were back in the squad and from memory everyone had a big bright smile on their face… right? Captain Clem led the warm up (not before we had bullied some pre-pubescent wannabes off of “OUR” field) […]

Xin Lỗi Mea Culpa
This week: yet another interesting fixture for us Vikings, the disciplined but definitely beatable Japan FC. ARE YOU READY TO EAT SOME SUSHI?

Coach Colin’s Last (Rain)Dance
Semi Final Raiders faced up against the French in the plate semi-final and produced a victory in a game which was as comfortable as it could be for the recently crowned champions.

Raiders Match report 20/11/21
Away game… this time the Saigon Raiders actually had to leave their safe haven “D2” to play somewhere where they have never seen a foreigner before, a place where the dogs are on the BBQ and where they smoke Craven instead of Marlboro Light. The Vikings drew their game so it was time for the […]
