Plagued by mass injuries and disenchanted coaches, one of the leagues premier comeback champs has run into its biggest brick wall yet.

“My attitude isn’t the greatest and I feel I’m not motivating my team,” confesses
Rico Battikha after Orozen suffered a 5-3 loss to undefeated C4 leaders Prosciutto E Melone and sunk into eighth place in the standings. “Even if it looks bad, we have mountain-moving faith. God will help us make it three in a row.”

Should Orozen manage to turn their season around and make yet another successful championship run, much will depend on both the physical and mental health of the team’s ailing core. Some spanking new roster additions in the midfield may also help tackle the ‘exceptional’ competition in what Battikha insists to be ‘the best league in Quebec.”

POTG: “Our goalie Justin Rodriguez’ attitude has been great even though we are not helping him. Mouad Wail played his first game and was exceptional.”
