The Board of Directors of King Sue Ham FC is proud to unveil today the team’s new logo in celebration of its first year anniversary since its return to Pilipinas Football League.

The new logo, made in classical Black and White, has a majestic relevance to it. It was developed by no other than gaffer maya_arms himself in celebration of the team’s achievement and commitment in the past 3 seasons.

“As we start a new season for the hamsters, it is important to look back and celebrate what we were able to accomplish and celebrate the potential this team has in the immediate future” added the gaffer.

In part of this unveiling, the Adobe Pit Arena was transformed into a gigantic concert ground and invited its fans to join the party. All the players and staff will be there for autograph signings and a meet and greet event for the players. Official team lineup photo will be available also.

“This will be awesome! what a way to start a new season!” said one supporter said.

“That’s football I suppose, we will improve next season and finally win it all.” said the somber maya_arms.

Inspite of the failure to secure the top spot, a silver lining in the form of star keeper Mark Itaas proved to be an inspiration in the back four. The Pilipinas U-20 candidate keeper has only allowed 5 goals in 10 straight games including 8 shutouts, albeit 4 of the 5 goals came from a single game.

“Mark keeps on improving, the kid has a phenomenal work ethic, I will not be surprised if he is called up soon. he surely would be if it was in my country” added hamster coach Luděk Káňa.

The players are scheduled to have its training camp next week at Camp John Hay in Tagaytay.

Mark Itaas  7

Solid performance for the very young national team candidate, keeps improving every match but still much to learn on leadership.

Maciej Szulakiewicz 4

The veteran Polish hasn’t recovered his form after the suspension he received 2 weeks ago. might be a candidate for the bench if performance keeps up like this

Fabien Briaud 7

Set piece abilities made the game more interesting as it already is. was more of a midfielder than a wingback

John Ray Bayle 8.0

Contributed superbly on side attacks, effectively supported the right wing and the opportunities that presented with accurate long passes.

 Heinrich-Josef Steinkrauß 9

Played an almost flawless match, kept tight control on the left wing and constantly probing for open man.

 Johannes Liebmann 7.5

Played a very familiar double envelopment with bayle in the right wing. Was very composed but was not able to complete several chances that was presented to him during the match

 Jacobo Caviedes 8.0

The Chilean midfielder was in control of the middle for most of the match, could have scored more goals if it weren’t for the heavy rain.

 Zsolt Lucius 8.0

Scored a smart goal midway in the second half due to opponent error. Showed his experience and presence of mind to finish of the break.

Thaddeuse Dolar 6.5

A surprised starting midfielder for the Filipino. played a decent replacement for star midfielder  Onyok Urbano

 Aviram Shteken 6.5

Not a good night for the Israeli striker. Saw most of his shots wide of the goal. Subbed for  Rob Calvez.

Bonciano Ranada 9.5

Proves week in and week out why he earned to be the hamster’s most expensive signing to date. Has a strong field vision, a deep scoring instinct, and an intelligence up front which resulted to a Hattrick under his name and a club record of 19 league goals with 1 more game remaining.

Rob Calvez 7

Came 75 minutes into the match to try to improve the bloated scoring.

A controversial penalty in the 5th minute started the scoreline for the hamsters but 2 quick goals from 911s lads ensured that the home team went ahead at the break. An equalizer by Heinrich Steinkrauß at the reset gave the visiting team a glimmer of hope but a brace from 911s winger Lewis Sullivan finally put the hamsters out of their misery. Bonciano Ranada scored a consolation goal and made the game a little bit more competitive till the end. but with the wide difference in possession, this game could only go one way.

“Mark is still very young and this defeat will be a lesson, he will learn because of this.” said gaffer maya_arms, who now needs a miracle on Sunday to have any chance for the division championship.
