Balaga Tongo 1... THE ASTRONUTS 5.

with blake frolicking on continental slopes with beautiful people Balaga got Damo to go between the sticks for the big matchup against the astronuts... Wit Deano bring along Niell as well Balaga had a strong starting lineup!!!

Apparently though it wasnt strong enough as the astronuts started to slot away goals for fun... with a full squad of nine and highly professional and intimedating looking shirts aswell as some eastern european imports in their team it was going to be a tuff task for balaga...

phil and webz were foraging once again up front and had some good chances in the first and second half... Webz managed to bungle the ball into the net late in the second half as balaga had the lions share of possession and werent giving the nuts anytime on the ball... O callaghan went in for some dodgey challenges and has a bruised and swollen ankle for his troubles... Deano Kev and Niell all played well as the tongoians actually had some good possesion...

Damo kept the scoreline down with some very good saves... but he was also caught by a great dummy as the strike left a shot roll between his legs and it just bobbeled past the suprised kennedy...

All in all... dose.

Balaga Tongo 6 - The Strawberries 6...

A high scoring draw saw the first point of 2008 awarded to Balaga... With deano at some chemistry exam and not knowing when he would turn up Webz brought his newly homeless younger brother Damo along... Yes Webz was actually able to play this week!!! So there was 6 there 20 minutes before the game as we did a light warm up in the car park... The parked cars took the brunt of most of the passes though...

Despite a good start Balaga went a goal down early but fought back briskly to go 2-1 up... only to go 2-3 down!!! it then went tit for tat until the end i think, with Balaga always behind but fighting back...

Star striker Phil bagged a brace as did homeboy webz... Kev and Tom chipped in with one a piece... Blake was good again in goal but will be missed next week as he is going skiing with his posh Dublin friends... Deano was rock solid once he was told at half time to stop texting his f'ing ol doll...

Balaga went home without 3 points but with 1 in the bag and smiles on their faces at least/last!

Balaga 1 - School boy errors 2...

Another disappointing night for the mighty Tongo... With webz still stuck on his Wednesday shift in work, Balaga were forced to bring in experienced scab Millzie and an U21 tongonian, young Deano, as cover...


The game kicked off well for the boys in green as they went ahead with a first half goal from Striker O' D... Deano the rock Deano managed to hold off the school boys for the first half even with the occasional but usual dodgy defending from his partner Tom!!! Also Thanks Blake...

With the blood pumping and our heads held too high at the start of the second half, Balaga conceded two quick goals as captain kev rested his legs on the bench... Millzie, Shane, Phil and Kev foraged for an equalizer and as the clock ran down, defender o callaghan missed 3 clear cut chances which were brilliantly setup by Phil O' D... but it was all to no avail...

Another good performance but no points on the board yet, lets hope the nerves dont kick in as it looks like a tought season ahead... lets also hope we win so i dont have to keep writing the same optimistic crap about us losing.
