Do Almaty have balls?

After last week’s disastrous defeat to the bottom of the league side, Citco FC, Almaty Athletic will aim to make amends tomorrow night in a must win clash against league leaders, Slievenamon. .

Almaty Gaffer will gladly welcome back Keith “Cakes” SP who has returned from a love sojourn in the Motherland (i.e. Deutschland). Alex “Ballack not Robbie Savage!” O’Donovan has also promised the Gaffer a much improved performance from last week’s display. Thankfully, he is available for selection after the Astro Leagues Disciplinary Committee decided not to impose a match ban after review video evidence of his somewhat hefty challenge in last week’s game which resulted in a sin-binning. After a week on the treatment table Jim “bo” Butler’s has recovered from his neck pain. Dr. Phil, unfortunately, was unable to offer his services to Almaty’s plight

Surperstious Almaty fans have blamed last week's defeat on the fact that Gaffer Spratt banished Alex's "magic ball" 20 foot up a tree five mins into the game. To counter this Almaty board have invested in two brand spanking new Nike Tiempo Classic balls!

Almaty narrowly beat Slievenamon 3-2 in their previous encounter. So long as they don’t concede an early goal (as is now tradition!) they will be in for a shout tomorrow night.
