ML ARE THE NEW CHAMPIONS!!!

Sweetness24 · Veteran Member

MVP - Sambo (ML)
Best Centre - Kevin (Arya)
Best Forward-JP (Arya)
Best Guard - Enimble (ML)
Best Coach- (Columbian)
Rookie of the Year- Sandro(Columbian)
Best Sportmanship - Bautista ?!I?!?!?! NOT SURE OF HIS NAME BUT HIS DA OLDEST GUY IN EPSOM sorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry no offence thats the only way I can describe him.

Thats al I can remember I think thats it but im not really sure coz I was so bored....... My mind was somewhere else.

Would like to congratulate the following teams:

CHAMPIONS: ML INTERNATIONAL
1ST PLACE: COLUMBIANS
2ND PLACE: ARYA ABRA
3RD PLACE: EPSOM*

CONGRATULATIONS TO ML although I think that if the playmaker of Columbian was there it would have been a completely different scenario, also think that columbians got unfair calls. Lets not forget that columbians was only a 6 man team whereas ML turned up wid a complete team. I know that everyone wanted to keep the Championship Fili but I just felt sorry for the columbians. The only people I think that really carried off ML are Sambo, Clark, Enim?"!!?!?!, Ramos, I think that their import was concentrating on showing off too much rather than playing and his all talk so not impressed with him...........

Also wanted to comment on the speech of the organiser?!?!?! doh
It was all for the ethnic minority and for people to come and play the sports everyone loves bleh .................... Didnt believe anything he was saying!!!!!
Oh well thats it from me this year....................... Might seee u guys again next year depending if my peps are playing..... SO TO ALL TEAMS JOINING THE NEXT LEAGUE GOODLUCK!!!!!!!!

This is sweetness signing off for the last time

Best Sportsmanship Award:

Mr Barcellona

The guy with the moustache and long socks (or THE OLD GUY whichever you prefer)

It was a disappointing final, I think this was reflected on the number of people who turned up to watch. I think more people watched the 3rd 4th place game, which may I add was quite an exciting game.

Congratulations to ML, but what happened to Columbia. Its a shame you werent complete, maybe next year.

Thats for the correction Reknaw and YES I AGREE it was a disappointing game wanted to see them get heated up hehehehehehehehehehe......... But it just ended up like any other season game it didnt feel like the final well I guess it was also due to the wonderful weather, people had better things to do.

I think the Best Forward (JP) and Best Guard (Ebilane) should swap trophies cos Ebilane was never a guard and jp was never a forward. But then again, dunno why he got his award cos most of the time he just waits for the ball to on a transition or fastbreak then he LAYS IT IN...in which I admire him for doing so and not missing many of those. But every good defender should know that if he's good at lay ups, then why let him? But then again, he is quick...I'm quite sure a lot of you will agree that he is hard to keep up with. I hope he work on his jumpshots though.

Well done to Lloyd Sambo and Kevin Curvin.
Also a special award was given to SIPLETIK for completing their fixture regardless of their position on the table. Their only was against Royal Blades that did not turn up. Sipletik would've beaten them anyway.

I will not question the award given to Sandro cos he deserve to get something.

I would just like to know everyone's opinion on who's on what place... Do u think that the teams that got into 1st,2nd etc...... desere it???? Comments please.... What about you Mr Editor do u think that they are the deserving 4 teams???? confused

Wasn't Sandro in the Columbian team that got to the final last year. How come he got rookie of the year when he not a rookie?

I would ave prefered to see a Arya Abra ML final. Unfortunately JP didnt play the semi, and AA were a bit slack towards the end. Also the first game between AA and ML Kevin fouled out quite early in the game so it wud have been interesting to see what wud happen.

Oh well now its time for Kampi league.........yay......

Congartulation ML....

They are the 2007 Elsa Champion. Well done.

I cant help noticing, That even on Awardings. They still cant get it right.

HOW DID SANDRO got the BEST ROOKIE.. he played last year.

BEST FORWARD hmmm...

No offense to the players but i think it should be the other way around too ?

The time/schedule says 12 PM they didnt start untill almost 1:30 pm.

Mr. Editor, Is that correct, ELSA's awardees? Then, My apology again.

Is that all the Columbian players showed in the FINAL?

and it's the final

What ever columbian did, I STILL RESPECT ML, WELL DONE AGAIN.

Well done George & ML...!!!

The BEST team won...simple...!!!

They have good players in the correct positions.

Good to see so many new teams & players. I wonder how many of which will be the same teams in KAMPI.

Anyway I didn't get to see many ELSA games but from what I can see at least there has been lots of intrest and comments from this forum..... Just wish the PSUK had as much intrest from all the Pinoys around London... confused

GOOD LUCK to everyone next season or in KAMPI (not sure if we will bother yet.....too much bull***t....LOL biggrin

)

Details should come out as soon as KAMPI League ends. I think ELSA starts around Feb/Mar?
Are you joining the Amateur League in Elephant & Castle? Email them for details or website www.freewebs.com/londonbasketball

ELSA were under pressure from the majority of players and co-officials to be disciplined and stick to the rules. They'd read the Forum comments no doubt.
With regards to ELSA being late, I am not sure. But in the past, the caretaker oversleeps and/or doing some maintenance in the hall or something like that. Who knows they might improve as they go along.
