SLVC: Home regained Crown

Albirex's joy of winning its first SLVC just 5 days ago was indeed short-lived as expected, as they were dispatched 0-2 on 26-June & surrendered the crown to Home Utd.

This is Home's 12th SLVC title, the 2nd-most among all teams, behind SAFFC's 13 wins...

SLVC Record in 2008:
Albirex: P3, W1-D0-L2, F4-A6, Pts 3
Home: P1, W1-D0-L0, F2-A0, Pts 3

SLVC Record all-time:
Albirex: P11, W1-D2-L8, F10-A23, Pts 5
Home: P102, W60-D22-L20, F206-A131, Pts 202

With this win, Home has became the only 2nd team (behind SAFFC as well) to amass more than 200 points in the all-time mini-league.

Home's next game will be against Geylang away on 1-July.

SLVC: Albirex the New Champions!

On 21-June, apparently still suffering from the "League Cup Hangover", Super Reds handed the SLVC title they held for 6 games to Albirex, who finally broke their SLVC jinx after 10 attempts!

However, Albirex's joy could be short-lived, as they will play Home Utd @ Bishan on 26-June. Let's see if they willl be able to hold on to the title for more than a game following this upset win...

SLVC Record in 2008:
Super Reds: P7, W4-D2-L1, F17-A9, Pts 14
Albirex': P2, W1-D0-L1, F4-A5, Pts 3

SLVC Record all-time:
Super Reds: P12, W5-D2-L5, F21-A25, Pts 17
Albirex': P10, W1-D2-L7, F10-A21, Pts 5
