Forced to forfeit again because they didn’t have enough players. Dhaka awaits them in the first round, hopefully next season they have better commitment and come back stronger!

Tough Loss to Dhaka this week. Nice bunch of guys but haven’t really been able to find ways to win this season. Next week they take on a Sarajevo squad that hasn’t won a game all season long. The winner of this game will avoid having to play one of the top 2 seeds and might have a better chance of staying alive after the first round.

Forced to forfeit. Played a scrimmage game and had their moments but fell apart late. They take on Dhaka next week and they will definitely need a full squad and a lot of offense if they have any hope of winning this one.

Just when things were looking up for this squad things got ugly again. They kept the game close with Alexandria but fell asleep in the second half and were blown out of the water with a late game run. Next game they take on a Granada squad that is also coming off a loss but if their defense doesn’t step it up they can be looking at back to back losses.

Played a much better game this time around. With 14 from Frank and Jeffrey they were able to edge out Sana’a. Wasn’t the prettiest of wins but it seemed like the defensive effort was definitely there. Next week they can make it two in a row against a struggling Alexandria team; they’re going to have to stop that outside shot though if they want to secure this win.

Didn’t know what to expect from them last week because they were relatively all new players but man they have to figure something out offensively or they’re in for a long season. Hopefully this game wasn’t a preview of what’s to come but if it was, good luck. They have to show up against a young Riyadh squad that’s coming off a tough loss, if they don’t this can be the beginning of the end for them.

Another by product of the Mombasa dynasty Rich Kim decides to branch off on his own and try to win a championship with a new team. A lot of new players so I can’t really say I know what to expect. If any of them are similar in talent to Rich this team should have no trouble winning games. Week 1 here we come.
