Almaty seek first win

Almaty Athletic face Majestic Rovers this week in their 2nd game of the new season. To prove that they are real contenders for retaining their title it will be important that Almaty win this game. Their opposition got off to a winning start beating 2 Touch 3-1 with goals coming from Kevin Sheehy, Philip Blackwell and Seamus Kennedy.

The squad will remain relatively unchanged from last week. New signing Dave "brother of Dr Phil" Smith will hope to make his Almaty debut. John "Billy's way better than you" Murphy has been given a second chance by the Gaffer after a headless performance last week. After a recent trip to Central America club doctors have released Senor “I’m clean, I’m clean!” Dawson from quarantine.


Almaty's new gear

Still it will be unlikely that his team-mates will welcome him with a hug and kiss! The Gaffer has some concerns over the sharpness of due “Safehands” Sweetnam and “Crouchy” Jeffers after being involved in world cup qualifiers the past few days. Almaty are considering lodging a complaint for FIFA given that the players will only be returning from international duty today. The Gaffer will be hoping that Almaty’s first ever international signing, Marco “Mikado” Machado, will remember to bring along his scoring boots tonight.


PS Has anyone seen Alex??
