This was an important match to prove...
BEFC Lions went onto their cup debut knowing that this was a chance to test new players, a new formation and have a game to tinker around with problems (a chance they had not really had since the start of the season). The door was opened for people who were keen to join or start playing to get some...

The BEFC White Team was made of many players who are new to the club and were from both our men and women's teams, not having played much together in the past. Despite this, the team was quite competitive in all matches thanks to our goalie and MVP, Masaaki. Thanks to his committed and reliable...
BEFC Lions headed out to YCAC last weekend knowing a it was a tough match ahead against one of the top teams in Div 3, Sagarmatha. With an end-result that does not reflect the flow of the game, Lions suffered from set-pieces as a new team getting used to defending them does. Most of the goals...
