GZIFL masters
Squad Sean May (Keeper) Claus, Thomas, James, Paul, Joules, Daniel, Dave, (plus guests from Shanghai Goldie and Wally)
The inaugural GZIFL veteran’s team entered the Shanghai Masters for the time this season. The annual event is for 35 year and older players and was held at the magnificent Shanghai Rugby Club grounds. The guys performed admirably seeing it was the first time we had played together. We stormed through the first days play winning 3 games and drawing 1 and were the only unbeaten team on the day. On the Sunday we entered the final group 2 men down as commitments pulled Dave and Wally away. The 8 guys left performed heroically particularly after key men Daniel and Joules both got injured. In the end we needed to win our last game of the day to reach the final but with only 6 fit men we lost 3-2. It was a great weekend and if we hadn’t had any injuries I’m sure we would have won the title. Congratulations though to Daniel who was joint leading goal-scorer with 9 goals.
Thanks to our sponsors for the tournament the Institute for Western Surgery and The Brew Bar and Burger Joint

Squad:Marcelo (GK), John Smith, Eduardo, Gary Hancock, Liam, Jerome, Daniel, Nordine, Mauro, Kenny Obama, Claus
Goals: Jerome
GZIFL select team played the first game againist a Chinese team Bo Shi Advertising yesterday. The match report is on the official website and it's in Chinese. http://ccl2011-gz.match.chinago.cn/discuss_one.php?tid=37913
GZIFL take opener from Bo Shi Advertising by narrow margin GZIFL from Group C, regarded as an UN Army, are among the favourites to win the tournament. Their presence was warmly welcomed by the spectators. However, Bo Shi Advertising’s excellent performance created hurdles to their rivals’ ambition of sailing through. Both sides’ strong efforts on defense quickly brought the game to a deadlock. GZIFL physically intimidated their rivals, but Bo Shi Advertising’s strategy proved to be successful as well. The first half ended in a goalless draw. The competition was equally even in the second half. No. 11 (Jerome) Thomas from GZIFL was a persistent threat, but his attempts were constantly denied by Bo Shi Advertising’s goalkeeper and defenders. When everyone was about to expect a 0-0 tie, (Jerome) Thomas netted a late goal on the 47 minute. His long-rang powerful shot secured his team a hard-fought victory. The final whistle awarded a 1-0 victory to GZIFL.
