13/11/2016: Weekly Update
After last week's disappointment, the Lions took a week off to lick their wounds. But five more games were completed in an intriguing weekend of OTPL action.
In the day's early kick off at Fujen University, Daan FC were the early bird to catch the worm as they clung on to their slim title chances with a tight win over the Animals, who had started the day in third place. Hoping to capitalize on any slip ups, B52 Carnegies registered a thumping 11-0 win over a beleaguered Badgers team. In the process, they jumped up into third place and with a game in hand over the top two, they can't be ruled out of the title race just yet.
In perhaps the biggest shock of the day, ninth placed JFC surprised the Celts, who had themselves shocked the league-leaders last weekend. Such inconsistency has been a feature of their season as mid-table respectability looms. In the other game of the day, a B53 side, enjoying a successful season, further consolidated seventh position with a convincing 8-1 demolition of the Warriors.
Next weekend will see a further three games completed. Daan look to prolong their title ambitions and stave off pressure from the B52s with a win against the in-form B53s and the B52s take on the Warriors. In a real crunch match, the Lions will take on the Magpies, looking for revenge for defeat in reverse fixture and to finally seal the league title.
Whilst in the BML, hostilities resume as the Lions look to bounce back against the winless Taipei Titans.

16/10/2016 Update: Lions rest again as the league rages on
LIONS'
MVP
Unfortunately, the keenly anticipated match up between the B52 Carnegies (3rd) and the Red Lions (1st) was postponed once again. However, the league continued to hurtle towards its conclusion as three games were completed.
The Magpies continued their impressive progress this season after edging JFC 2-1 at Fuhe, whilst in a tasty clash between the league's bottom teams, the Warriors edged clear of the Badgers with a rare 3-0 win at Fujen University Stadium. Also at Fujen, the Animals climbed into 3rd place with a tight 1-0 victory against a much-improved Eagles side, checking their recent progress.
The Lions should be back in OTPL action next weekend against the Badgers, as top meets bottom. Further to that we also welcome the start of a new BML season, as the Lions take on JFC at Bailin Bridge. Two games in one day. Bring it on!

The Red Lions had a week off this week with just two OTPL games played. The Mighty Shane narrowly overcame the Taipei Warriors in a tight basement battle, whilst the B52s edged their rivals in an entertaining 'Clasico' between former team mates. The result sees the 52s leapfrog the Celts into 3rd place, setting up a potential mouth-watering clash with the Red Lions next Sunday.
We're hoping to be back in action next week. This is how the table looks as the season enters its final phase.
