Angels keeperjoins Manchester62 – confirmedMateo, the Angels heroic keeper, whose saves havewowed onlookers even though Angels struggled atthe bottom of the table has confirmed his departure.

Playing his first official match in a Manchester 62 shirtMateo lined up for the reserves. The keeper so usedto a 90minute nonstop action hardly touched the ballwith Manchester 62 reserves comfortably beatingMons Calpe.

Mateo confirmed that he had been approached earlierin the week and on Tuesday signed contracts withManchester 62.

At the same time speculation over the future ofAngel’s manager continues as reports alleged that heis set to leave the club. Angels who are in relegationtrouble have lost several key players in recent weeks.Reports suggesting that the manager has steppeddown, although there is no confirmation indicating hehas.

Lions FC on Wednesday announced that youngster JayceOlivero is going on trial to Leicester City.

In an announcement in social media Lions said “Really ex-citing to announce that our very own Jayce Olivero is flyingout today for a trial with Leicester City FC. Jayce has beenwith the Lions since he was about 5 years old so you canunderstand how proud we are that his talents are beingspotted. Much as we'd hate to lose him it is an opportunitythat rarely comes along more so for young Gibraltarian's.We wish him all the best for the coming week.”

Following reports in whichthe Spanish hockey federa-tion is reported to have high-lighted the Consejo Superiorde Deportes’ warning thatSpanish teams are not toplay against Gibraltar teams,or select Gibraltarian playersCore understands that localplayers have been soughtout to play for Spanish clubs.

At least two male players arereported to be playing forhockey clubs up the costadel sol with one femaleplayer having been ap-proached to play in Spain.

Core also understands a for-mer national player alreadyplays in the Liga de Andalu-cia. His club having beenaware of the warnings andhaving intervened in order toregister the player in ques-tion. Whilst the reports sug-gest that there will besanctions for clubs playingGibraltarian players or par-ticipating in matches withGibraltar sides, since thewarnings were re-issued inNovember, which is whenCore understands the warn-

ings were first given, Span-ish sides have ignored thewarnings and have playedRegistered players fromGibraltar, trained in Gibraltarand participated in matchesagainst Gibraltar sides atyouth level.

The latest warnings were is-sued just before the Spanishgeneral elections and areseen locally as politically ori-ented policies affecting allsports, not just hockey, withthe Consejo Superior de De-portes having issued thispolicy to all sports clubs andorganisations as far back as2012.Similar policies alsoexisted as far back as 1999when Athletes were stoppedfrom flying the Gibraltar flagor registering with Spanishteams, which led to condem-nation from across the ath-letics fraternity.

The Consejo Superior deDeportes making mention intheir website the policieswhen commenting onSpain’s campaign to stop theGibraltar Rugby Associationfrom becoming a full mem-

ber of the European RugbyAssociation (FIRA-AER)back in 2013.

Spain’s political stanceagainst Gibraltar sportsmenand women had been metby resistance by varioussporting bodies with Gibral-tar teams and officials stillenjoying their participation insome events includingfriendly matches between re-gional teams, and lately theincreased business in thetransfer market which hasseen players from Spainjoining local teams in footballand clubs training and play-ing friendlies in Spain inpreparation for their season.

a win over Lincoln's closest rivalEuropa last week. Lincoln, stillunbeaten in the League and sixpoints clear, were without LeeCasciaro and Liam Walker, twokey players, both out due to injury.

Lincoln were to set the tone of thematch within the first three minutesbut not before St Joseph's hit atgoal forcing the first save of thematch. Lincoln immediately attacked, andonce again it was Chipolina whostruck home early.

The match was played at a hightempo, both sides giving littleaway. Lincoln trying to keepcontrol of the pace of the matchby playing their passing game forpossession. St Joseph's for theirpart pinning Lincoln back andpressing in the centre.

Few and clear chances wereseen at both ends, the clearestchance coming to Lincoln from afree kick with the ball falling intoJordan Perez's arms from aheader.

Moments later Lincoln had thechance to repeat the move. Thistime, however, Lincoln took thefree kick quickly catching StJoseph's out of position. Againstthe protests of the St Joseph'splayers, Lincoln the ball wasswung into the middle, a shot ongoal parried by Jordan only forthe rebound to be put away by anoncoming Casciaro for the 2-0.As the players went for half time,Lincolns focus on the match wasclearly highlighted by theirkeeper Paul Navas who whenasked to comment on the resultcommented that he "did not trustthe result, one mistake and thegame can change in a matter ofsecond."

With the second half started,Lincoln made several changes,bringing on (number 9) who was

to prove a difficult for the St Joseph'sdefence.

St Joseph maintained their pressuretrying to press forward but with fewchances to test the Lincoln keeper. Onthe 56th minute St Josephs conceded apenalty. Casciaro stepped forward totake it slotting it into the top left corneraway from the reach of Jordan Perez'soutstretch arms, scoring his second.With St Joseph's pushing forward theywere to be caught out again on thebreak with Lincoln's running down theright and swinging a pass into the centrewhich was met by Casciaro who headedit past Perez for the fourth and his thirdof the match.

Britannia XI, havingsigned several newplayers into their squadentered the match with

the prospect of moving into thirdposition after seeing St Joseph godown to Lincoln earlier in theafternoon.

Manchester, with JP Duarte onthe bench resting and injury cameout boasted by recent wins whichhave seen their season turnedaround, although still floating atthe bottom half of the table.

Both sides came out trying toimpose their own style of gameplay in what was to become atactical game where the changeof game was to be seen onaround the 70th minute whensubstitute Gomez was send offwith a red after the linesman hadseen an off the ball incident.

Manchester played to keeppossession slowing the matchdown from the very beginning,content in stopping Britannia fromlunging forward with theirtraditional darting runs through

the flanks. Britannia, the moreaggressive of the two sides pressedhard to get the ball pinningManchester back into their own half,although not having control of theball themselves through large partsof the first half.

Manchesters' woes seemed to re-emerge on the 10th minute whendefender Payas called on his coachto replace him having injured himself.JP Duarte, who had himself indicatedbefore the match that he did notexpect to play more than ten minuteswas brought in taking up the rightflank. An astute re-organisation ofthe defence and frontline saw achange in gameplay as Britanniawere forced to keep Alt playingfurther back to cover for JP'spresence.

The first half saw few chances ateither end. Britannia threateningManchesters goal mostly fromstopped ball play, whilst Manchestershowed signs of threateningBritannia's goal from a few foragesforward on the break.

JP, whose presence was causingproblems for Britannia had theclearest chance when on stealing theball his shot was pushed out by theBritannia keeper.

The second half saw more of thesame. The match changed whenGomez who had come on forGrimmer was send off for an off theball incident.

Manchester took advantage of the

Lopez, later substituted forSantos, had the clearestchance to open the scoringwith his header pushedover the bar by BarnfatherMarfe. Toncheff then had afurther chance with the ballstriking the crossbar andthe rebound taken byMarfe.

Minutes later Duran openedthe score as Manchestertook advantage of a badlytaken Britannia free kickwhich when cleared leftDuran on a one to oneagainst a defender andstriking the ball past theoncoming Britannia keeper.

Britannia's keeper was keptbusy in the final minuteshaving to save from a JPDuarte half volley frominside the penalty area, andseeing several shots gowide.

Algeciras legend provesshrewd purchase for

Lynx

Albert Parody, Manager and Direc-tor of Lynx, when asked about hisnew signings played down the in-troduction of his two new players,one of which was described by

Lynx supporters as a legend in Algeciras. Par-ody, however, indicated that he had not takenlightly who he was signing "not this time, Ihave learnt my lessons he said," as he com-mented on how he had asked players to at-tend a tryout for him to see how they

performed before making any decisions. Thishad led to even players whose resume de-scribed them as having played for Ajax, beingturned down.

This mere fact alone raised expectations onhow good was Santos Francisco Gomez,(Javi Chico), considering he was being linedup as first team players.

Javi Chico was soon to show his class. Just

Algeciras legend provesshrewd purchase for

his second match for Lynx, and still suppos-edly settling into the team the number tenwas true to his number as a playmaker.

As Lynx piled on the pressure againstGibraltar United from the very first few min-utes giving a clear indication on how thematch would transpire, Javi Chico took littletime to take control of the midfield. Not onlyrunning around into free space and creatingspace with his passing, he was also clear-ing the general controlling the men as hestarted positioning his colleagues intospace,

Lynx players were more than willing to playthe ball to him, as they controlled posses-sion pinning Gibraltar United back. As lynxtried to find a way through, pushing the ballquickly through midfield and trying to findspace to run through the flanks, GibraltarUnited kept their form, controlled by the bel-lowing Goldwyn, whose constant commandof his defense saw them positioning them-selves to block Lynx's way through into thepenalty area.

Lynx, nevertheless, reached goal on sev-eral occasions forcing Jared Buhagiar toclear of the line from a corner on at leastone occasion. The flying Chino, GibraltarUnited keeper Goldwyn, was once again toprove a why many consider him to be thebest goalkeeper in the first division this sea-son. Goldwyn was to prove Sastrie's worstnightmare as he first cleared a header, andthen saved in mid-air a point blank shotwhich would have rocketed into the back ofthe net had Chino not been in the way. Allthis in a matter of minutes.

Chino's flying saves and heroics were, how-ever, not enough to keep Javi Chico from


21st January 2016


scoring his first goals in the first division.As Badr broke through the right flank, hecrossed dangerously into the middle, hiscross met by a flying punch from Goldwynwhich in other days would have put the ballout to safety. With Lynx deep in Gibraltar’shalf, the ball was immediately struck back intothe penalty area where Javi Chico took ad-vantage of a rebound to curve the ball into theback of the net at the far post. The ball at firstseeming to be going out, but just slotting intothe corner,

Gibraltar United continued to defend deep,keeping Lynx out by leaving few spaces toplay through. Carl Thomas, EL Andaloussiand Gallardo proving to be stalwarts in de-fense.

As the pressure continued Sastrie run into thebox forcing Goldwyn into a penalty. Sastriestepped forward to take it. Powering the balland with Goldwyn beaten the ball bounced offthe post and ended up going out for a goal

kick.

Lynx, continued to look for a second, and withjust seconds to go for the first half to finishGibraltar United conceded a foul outside thepenalty box. The ball was passed short to theright of the wall and Javi Chico curled a shotto the near post sinking the ball into the backof the net. Goldwyn was unable to reach theshot diving late for it as the unexpected shotpassed over a Lynx player who dived out ofthe way blocking the keepers line of sightThe second half started much the same wayas the first with Lynx piling the pressure onGibraltar United's defense who maintainedtheir form throughout making it difficult to pen-etrate. United for their part attempted to pushforward when they could, but with Montoviotheir only front man, they found it difficult toout run the Lynx defense.

The third goal came from another stop ball sit-uation. Javi Chico once again stamped hispedigree on the match to score his hat trick.


21st January 2016


A curled corner went over the GibraltarUnited defense and into the back of the netat the far post. The same post just minutesearlier the bellowing Goldwyn had beenheard shouting for his defense to cover.

With three goals up now, Lynx sloweddown a gear. This allowed Gibraltar Unitedto venture forward. For the last fifteen min-utes it was the Lynx defense that had toclear the danger as Montovio proved to bea handful as Gibraltar United went forward.As the match came to its dying seconds afree kick outside the box led to the ballbeing swung into the box. Montoviojumped for it and flicked the ball in the airto the left of Robba and into the back of thenet. Robba who had little to do throughoutthe match angry at his defense for allowingMontovio space to score.

Gibraltar United sought for the next fewminutes to score a second as Lynx contin-ued to leave them to push forward.

Lions mauled tosubmission by

rejuvenated Glacis

Lions were leftlicking theirpaws onMonday night asGlacis, with their

three new signs "shockedand awed" them intosubmission with a six goalhammering.

From the first minute ofplay Glacis intent wasclear lunging forwardthrough the flanks withtheir newly signedattacker Lopez outrunning Lions defence,with Cortes Narvaez,Barrieta and Nunez alljoining forces to tear Lionsdefence apart. On thevery first minute a runthrough the flank led to aheader from closer rangewhich required anoutstretched Szpilczynskito punch away acrossgoal away from danger.

The first 20 minutes sawLions on the backfoot,


21st January 2016


unable to keep possession for more than afew seconds as Glacis won most of everybounce, rebound and run for the ball. In thefew occasions Lions managed to get the ballin those minutes they opted for long passesforward which were being dealt with by theGlacis defence with relative ease.

It was not up until the 20th minute that Lionssettled down into the game and calmed thepace down by keeping possession playingshort deliberate passes across defence andmidfield. Glacis were bombarded with deepcrosses into the centre, and runs throughthe centre, yet maintained their form kickingthe ball out to their front runners.

On the 35th Minute the Glacis defence wastested when a ball sunk deep into the sixyard box run menacingly towards anoncoming forward, with an outstretched legfrom the Glacis defence the only thingbetween goal and him.

Glacis were not to be prevented fromattempting further breaks forward, with runsthrough the flank causing the Lions defenceproblems. In one of this runs on the 40thminute, new signing Lopez forced a foul atthe edge of the box. The freekick was swunginto the centre over the heads of the Lionsdefence and was met by Nunez whochested to control and volleyed on the turnfrom just outside the six yard box past theLions keeper for the 1-0.

With the first half ending 1-0 both teamscame out to resume, pundits expectingLions possession to be maintained.

The words of Lions defender Rodriguez "tobelieve that it was still nil nil" seems to havebeen heeded more by the Glacis forwardthan his defence as Glacis once againrepeated their performance of the first half.

A run across the flank with a deep ball intothe centre led to a freekick conceded justoutside the box by Lions. The subsequentfreekick was curled into the centre of goal


where Szpilczynski had to punch it over thecrossbar for a corner.

Lions went on the attack forcing a save fromthe Glacis keeper on his line before Glacisstormed back towards Lions goal againusing the pace of their forwards to beatLions defence. A freekick conceded justoutside the penalty area saw Glacis passshort and with a curling shot around thedefensive wall Funes slotted it into the topfar corner for the 2-0 in his debut for the clubsince signing from Britannia last week.

Lions tried to go forward but foundthemselves running after balls being kickedout to the front line. The constant countersby Glacis rattled the Lions defence whostruggled to keep up with the pace,especially of Lopez, Cortes Narvaez,Barrieta and Nunez who maintained thepressure on the defence.

On the 30th Minute Glacis broke free in onesuch run and saw Cortes Narvaez receivethe ball in the air in just inside the penaltyarea and volleys a lob over Szpilczynski whowas coming out of his goal to block.

Minutes later Lopez breaks free from theLions defence on the right and slots it pastSzpilczynski as he came out to challengehim for the fourth.

The Lions defence were in disarray, with abuoyant Glacis hungry for more. Alreadyfour nil up and with Lopez and co winningmost runs on the flanks the ball once againfound Cortes Narvaez just inside the penaltyarea. WIth Szpilczynski once again off hislines, and the only thing between him andgoal, Lopez lobbed it over the keeper for thefifth.

Just one minute later, in what could only bedescribed as a repeat play, this time Lopesfound himself at the edge of the box withonly Szpilczynski between him and goal,and once again the ball was lobbed over the

The final of the Under 16s between BlueStars and Europa was a tense affair whichmade for what senior basketball officials de-scribed as probably the "best final so far"The tensions and excitement was main-tained throughout the first half as both teamsshared the lead between them.

lead at 4-5 early in the match.The tone of the match was soon to be seenas Rocca responded with his own triple forIsola Blue Stars.

With Isola Blue Stars netting four furtherpoints without respond to regain control ofthe scoreboard the first quarter finished at16-13.

The second quarter saw a mix of fortunes as

Blue stars led 24-13 before Europa re-opened their scoring. The match momentarily settled with aseven point lead for Blue Stars as bothteams fought hard for possession. Justbefore half time Europa shortened thescore by stealing some crucial passesand placing Isola Blue Stars on the back-foot and placing themselves ahead with28-30.

For the next few minutes Isola Blue starsrhythmn seemed to hit a bump as theywere getting frustrated at not netting for aperiod of time. On regrouping, and withboth teams scoring low due to the tightdefences in place Isola Blue Stars tookadvantage and took up the lead againonce again ending the quarter ahead with a score of 35-32.

Isola Blue stars maintained their lead intothe half opening it to 43-36.

A couple of two pointers accepted at thesame time as fouls had been given aidingtheir progress.

Europa started to press at the top block-ing some passes forward and shorteningthe progress of Isola Blue Star players.The match went from end to end withboth teams hungry for a win.

A sudden glitche with the scoreboard asall the data was wiped-out momentarilyled to a short break whilst it was re-started.

The tone of the match was notto change much as Isola Bluestars widened their lead to sixpoints only to see it cut backby a triple pointer.

Europa continued to presshigh, but were reliant more onindividual skills of two of theirplayers than the whole team.Isola Blue Stars, with theircoaches giving them instruc-tions from the bench through-out changed tactics and usedtheir minor height advantageto increase the lead to 62-55with just four minutes to go.As Europa attacked, a tighterswarming defence by the BlueStars halted their progress al-lowing them to get two pointsto Blue stars eight putting thescore at 70-57, with just twominutes left.

the better of the chances in thesecond half, with the ball crossing infront of goal on two separateoccasions, but with no-one there toslot it in.

Eagles pressure was to pay off whentheir number 7 picked up the ball atthe edge of the D and turned to strikeit across goal and into the far post inwhat was to be the equaliser.

The goal saw Eagles pick upconfidence, taking advantage ofHawks momentary collapse in focusas they reorganised. Eagles piled onthe pressure sniffing a chance toscore another. Within minutes a wellexecuted short corner was slottedpast the keeper making it 2-1 forEagles.

Seconds later another short cornersaw stand-in keeper for Hawks,following last week's injury to theirfirst choice keeper, making a savewhich kept Hawks still with a chanceto come back.With just minutes to go Hawkspressed forward looking for theequaliser. A quick counter attack sawthe ball skid across the front of anempty Eagles goal with Hawksfrontline unable to get to it.

Eagles regrouped at the back,tightening their defensive play andtaking on the same format they hadstarted the game with. Hawks piledon the pressure, lunging forward to tryand get the equaliser to no avail.

Juniors

Last Thursday saw the first round ofleague matches for junior hockey play-ers.

On the 7 a side pitch Grammariansboys beat the Falcons girls 6-4 and theEagles boys got the better of the Hawksgirls 4-0.

Normally there would be three matcheson the 9 a side pitch. However, militaryaction in the form of helicopters, meantthat the floodlights were unable to beerected. Therefore at the time of writingFalcons girls have yet to play Gram-marians girls.

Other results were: Grammarians boys 2, Eagles girls 1;Eagles boys 6, Hawks girls 1.

Not a bad effort for the Hawks girls,who have just moved up from 7 s sideto enter the 9 a side league.

This Thursday there will be no leaguematches as the RAF ladies will becoaching our juniors in a series of work-shops. Approximately 100 juniors willbe taking part in this great initiative.Media coverage would be greatly ap-preciated.

Eagles ladies wouldlike to thank the support received fromthe local media, umpires, Hawks ladiesand family that attended on the day.
