Clube Tabanka continued its sizzling start on Saturday witha 3-1 win over Boston rival Strela Negra at Moakley Filed in South Boston.Clube Tabanka improved to an impressive 3-0 start unlikelast season when they started very poorly which might have cost them a chance atthe title. Tabanka scored first, goal by Brito in the first half, butStrela pull even right before the halftime.In the second half it was all Tabanka, Bebeto score form the PK spot,and Mark added the third late in the game to seal the win. Tabanka has out score its opponents 10-2 inthree games, 5 goals by Toti 3 by Bebeto and 2 by Mark. The 2009 champs are looking to win their second titlein three years.


Alianca CV contineu to struggle this season after 1-1 draw vs Tarrafal FC at Hillstorm, Alianca Cv still without a head coach this year witch could be the reason why they are off to a slow start.


Nos Bandera could pick up three points, after Juventus didn't show up in time for the match.

NELASA WEEK 1 RECAP

NELASA WEEK 1


Only two games were schedule for the first week of the 2011 NELASA season and we couldn't ask for a beeter ones.

The first match was at Madison Park where the defending Champs Alianca CV took on Clube Tabanka and got shout out by 3-0 score. Tabanka jumped to an early lead on a goal score by Toty. Toty playing his first game for his new club, was the star of the game scoring the first two goals of the match, and Mark added a third one late in the match to seal the 3 point for Tabanka.








The second match was at Ceylon Park, Nos Bandera vs. Fidjos Terra. Nos Bandera came out on top thanks to 2 goals by Tata and 1 by "zidane".

Trophy winners may get financial rewards from NELASA this Season.

With the 2011 season just days away, NELASA is coming back after one of its worst years so far, where they had to make a lot of changes and additions to their "BY LAWS”, and how the League is going to precede going forward. One of the big additions this season is financial rewards to the trophy winners, where the Champions will get anywhere form $2,500-$3,000, the CUP winner $1,000, the Super Cup Winner $500 and the team that wins the fair play award will get free player registration for the 2012 season. With these additions the new NELASA Board members hope it will bring more excitement and more professionalism to the league. For now the new NELASA board member are Paulo Barros, Betinho Santos, Maria “Bethy” Gomes, Joe Mendes and Luis “Kiko” Pires. Betinho said that more member could be add on as the season prolongs on but for now they will work together with the affiliated clubs directors to guide NELASA on its new journey.

Nelasa Punished Nos Bandera!

NELASA just released their latest Official Notice "#37" and Nos Bandera got punished for using an ineligible player "Bronu Bandao" in four matches. Against Curral Grande Sept. 4th, Boston FC Sept. 11th, F. Terra Oct. 2nd and Emigrantes Oct. 9th. witch means Nos Bandera forfeit all those games and with that they finished 4th in the standings behind Alianca, Emigrantes and Tabanka.

This also means that Taide who scored a total of 28 goals during the season including 9 goals in those four matches total, is no longer the Golden Boot Winner.

Bebeto Tabank's strikers is the new Golden Boot Winner with 25 goals scored during the season

With this new information Futebolcriolo will also remove Taide from the MVP ballot.

Champions at last!

Wow. What a season by Aliança CV. One of the youngest team in NELASA only five year since joining the league, Aliança can finally call them self Champions at last. Aliança played a back to back game this weekend and won both games, they beat Nos Bandera 3-0 Saturday and also beat Tarrafal FC 2-0 Sunday. Zico steped up big in those two games by scoring 3 goals, two Saturday and one Sunday. One of the teams that kept the pressure on Aliança all season long was Emigrantes but, they have no chance to catch up now as they are 13 points back with only 12 possible points to capture.
One of my favorite NELASA’s coach Betinho is the only coach to have a “dobradinha” triple crown in NELASA’s history, he did back in 2008 with Fidjus Terra and he has a chance to do it again this season as his team still he the hunt for the CUP, they will take on Tabanka in the Semi-Finals.
