Match Report

Relegation is almost certain for the lacklustre Ararat FC side who fell apart in this vital clash, losing 26 - 2 to Rapid Lisboa.
Jacky Naireyekruk should pay attention to what goes on with his squad when they're not playing a game in order for him to see the results start going their way.
Chris Mass didn't make the Ararat FC match due to being abducted by aliens. He would probably have missed more than a week, but the aliens returned him sharpish because they wanted a specimen with a brain.
There must be a reason why Ararat FC manager Jacky Naireyekruk insists on continuing to play the woeful Al Kaholic in goal. His turn out today was truly shocking. Couldn't stop traffic.
Ararat FC's defence is like a bad fisherman. Down the river, too slow to catch anything and keeps forgetting the tackle.
There are less suitable formations for Rapid Lisboa's squad than 4 5 1 Attacking, but P M would be advised to ignore those too.
"Full credit to the lads out there," slurred a clearly drunk Rapid Lisboa manager P M following his side's win. "They never threw in the towel even though they were under the gun."
There was only one team with a mountain to climb here and it wasn't the free-scoring Rapid Lisboa. They were at the peak, while Ararat FC struggled with their laces at base camp.
