... and so the first season ends

It was a memorable night for all of us. Through the drizzle, muddy pitch, and trying playing conditions, two of Hope Premier League’s finest teams battled it out for the honours of lifting up the winner’s trophy signaling the end of a long season.

After seeing their 2-0 lead equalized during the second half by a resurgent FC2024, in a good show of “never-say-die” spirit, Evolution FC fought hard to hold the score line despite being 2 men down.

In the end, the decision of who would be crowned season champions was brought down to a penalty shootout decider. Tensions were high as the players each took their turns at taking their kicks. In what could only be described as a remarkable show of skill, Evolution FC’s goalkeeper stopped FC2024’s 4th and 5th attempts thus securing the crown for them.

Big congratulations to Evolution FC for being the new champion!

With this, the first season of Hope Premier League is officially over.
Thanks everyone for your wonderful support thru-out the season. We will be back with more news for our second season~

NEWS ALERT

NEWS ALERT ALL TEAM CAPTAINS AND PLAYERS

Hi guys, please take note of this referee called SEAN, SHAWN or anything that sounds like that.
If he offers to referee your match, or get you good deals for jerseys etc, please DO NOT trust him and even pay him any money. In fact, if he tries to contact any of you, please revert back to us. One team has been cheated out of their money by him and we have also encountered refereeing problems with him too. I repeat,

DO NOT TRUST HIM


Regards,
League Committee

Discussion Result

Thank you all for attending our general meeting. Following are the result of our fruitful discussion. Please take note and have a great game!

1. League Fund
All players have agreed to contribute $2 to the league fund.
Our treasurer, Veron, will contact the captains directly with regards to the collection.

2. Cards Issues
One red card = next match suspension
3 yellow cards cumulative = next match suspension
Once we reach the knock out stage, we will reset the cards count.

3. Match Issues
- Captains to send match info (result, goals, cards, etc) to hope premier league email, preferably immediately after every match
- Captains to send the match fixtures (date, time and venue) to hope premier league email
promptly once it is confirmed
- Each team to complete the match assigned on time (one match in every two weeks)

Do let us know if you have any further questions =)

General Meeting (Important)

A note from the committee:

Hi guys, we hope that you have been enjoying your matches and the fellowship with your fellow brothers.

We will be holding another general meeting next Thursday, 24th January, 730pm @ Nexus.
Meet outside the main entrance.

Each team must be represented by 2 reps preferably the captain and vice captain. If in any case it is not possible, please get any 2 reps from your team to come down.
Remember to bring your whole set of jersey to the meeting as we need to take a picture of it.

The meeting will be for around an hour. We will be evaluating on our first few matches and discuss how we can improve. It will be a chance to settle any HPL related matters as well.

See you there =)
