Pilli Fart-On Marton

Two sublime goals from Jacob Healey & Squeak Psarras, in addition to an own goal from some guy, were enough to see LPFC 21's run off with a comfortable 3 - 1 victory at Kingswood park on a particularly warm saturday afternoon. The win provided an excellent boost of morale after the squads dissapointing trial match loss the previous week against the Bundeena Breakers.

The match began at a frantic pace with Pilli moving the ball around well, and it was no suprise the first goal came early on (much like kurtis [had to have a go at you kurt, you never bought that slab]). Healey played a beautiful one-two with last seasons' top goalscorer Alex Poulos, before taking a few controlled touches and placing the ball neatly into the keepers far top corner - a strike worthy of it's title as 'season opener' and not to mention Healey's first goal for the team.

As the half progressed Marton began working their way back from the brink - possibly due to a sense of complacency creeping into Pilli's game. It wasn't long until the Hammers drew level. Some guy kicked the ball to some other guy who then fluked it past Clayden. The sides remained one a piece for the rest of the half.

A seemingly revitalised Pilli side returned to the field, though it was not them who pulled the scoreline in their favour. Some guy tried to clear the ball and he put it into his own net. Lol.

Even though infront, Pilli continued to press the Hammers - who to their credit provided LPFC with a fair share of scares, but we won so who cares.

The matches final goal was a wonderous one. Pilli's little man Squeak deftly weaved his way through four opposition players, tucking the ball away ever so clamly to the keepers left - capping off a confident Pilli showing.

After an efficient perfromance, Pilli staff and players will need to ensure complacency does not settle within the squad for next weeks match against Georges River Tigers at the Berrie Dome. And can someone please remember to bring Will strepsils for his throat next time...

Squeaky Clean History Tarnished As Dirty Past is Revealed

In what appears to be the start (and spark) of major controversy, a video clip has emerged which allegedly portrays newly signed LPFC recruit Daniel Costa and current team mate Squeak Psarras in a physical altercation. It is not yet known whether the feud erupted into anything further but it is confirmed that the incident occurred over a year ago – which raises questions as to whether this year’s squad can work together effectively.

Unsurprisingly, Costa will become the focus of media attention for the off-field drama due to his new-boy status. The Pilli Blog recently received a phone call from an anonymous inside source who explained - ‘the team dynamics worked perfectly before Daniel arrived, but now everything seems like its going down hill. Personally I would compare it to the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. I would even go so far as to say that Armageddon is coming.’

While it appears Psarras and Costa have reconciled – working well during recent training sessions - the videos resurrection may possibly rekindle the flames of a past inferno. It remains to be seen how the players will react to this potentially disastrous threat to the squads 2010 season ambitions.

OFFICIAL: Costa, Fletcher, Versitano put pen to paper

Lilli Pilli FC U21's have wrapped up their summer transfer spending with a significant coup of three players - an established Scotsman, Fletcher, and two highly-rated youngsters - Daniel Costa and Jackson Versitano. Fans will be delighted to hear of the new signings after months of tedious negotiations - reportedly during which Fletcher almost defected to an unknown team. Details remain hazy as to how much the signings have cost the club, but reports from News of the World and The Sun suggest Fletcher was recruited via the Bosman Ruling after his fomer club, Bundeena Mainbar, refused to let the player leave, while Costa and Versitano where brought over for a hefty combined fee of £13.5 million pounds + Nicholas Mellios.

Currrently, there have been no official comments from the players agents or the players themselves, though LPFC's official website has confirmed the aquisitions - 'We are delighted to welcome the likes of Daniel Fletcher, Daniel Costa and Jackson Versitano to our club.'

While fans are expected to welcome the signings with open arms, questions remain as to how the current squad will adapt and reshuffle to accomodate the new members.

Rai-muny Sutton

Former Pilli star and Berrie Dome favourite Raimundo Sutton has stated his reasons for his departure - some of which may upset fans of his former club. When questioned about the move, Sutton replied 'Well first of all - money was a major deciding factor - I honestly felt I was being grossly underpaid for a player of my calibre. Secondly, I didn't like claydons attitude - quite frankly it was ridiculous. He was always in a comittment battle between his beloved work (McDonalds) and the team. I don't know how the other players put up with him'

As of how Sutton felt with the threat of this years newest team members, he replied with a sly smile 'what threat?'. It is now up to the new transfers to prove Sutton wrong.
