With the C3 Division in summer flux, FC Tenmin will gladly take the forfeit win and lick their wounds to fight another playoff day.

“We still have six players on our roster who are out for a few more weeks,” explains team organizer Nelson Estrela, whose squad now moves to within three points of Inter Med after their rivals failed to show up for what should have been a blockbuster match Friday.

The Raging Lombrics, meanwhile, also gave FC Tenmin a helping hand after they stunned division leader Barcelona BSC 6-3 this week to move into the sixth and final playoff spot, though only one point clear of never-say-die AC Croma.

POTG: “Domenico Gigliotti has stepped in since our goalie got sidelined with an ankle injury. He has been outstanding in this new role and definitely allowed us to remain competitive. He is truly our unsung hero.”
