Helsinki Cyclone

So our games in Kirkkonummi weren’t that perfect. In Championship league we ended at 3rd place with Trivoga taking both top positions. In the Semi match Trivoga Silver showed great skill in changing their play againsta us. In Div1 again we were slow to start, with a lot of mistakes in the prelims. Still we got through to semis and finals, but GameOver was too tough an opponent, like all season.

After Kirkkonummi we had our end-season break week, when everyone got to heal their wounds and do those “family-oriented” activities. After that we’ve been playing a lot of game trainings and have rebuilt the field twice. We have to say we like the Paris layout better that the Austrian. The Austrian field felt like something developed outside Ring three whilst drunk. But enough of Bit*hing.

The last League round in Mikkeli will be this caturday. First Div is going to play the morning and League the afternoon. We feel strongly that the we have the teams to take the first in both divisions. In league we have calculated that we need fifth place to win the whole Series. Something that has been bad this year, is that official standings haven’t been published publicly. In div one I guess overall we have a chance for second or third place.  After the games we will celebrate our great Finnish season and party. It’s also nice that many of the wives/girlfriends/boyfriends/KitchenAid’s are comming along to see what this thing is all about.

LiveLeague will continue, with running scores for both League and Div 0ne. Div two and three are out of the question,  because of time management issues. This time we will have a dedicated person, who will run the scores and will run on cheap Finnish lager. This way our players (that being me) can concentrate on the games. If we will get somekind of sponsorship for this thing next year, we might do all the divisions.

After this week our training goes to a lower gear. Some of our domestic tournament players will probably slow their training schedule to one or two trainings per week. Of course we will have Millennium Paris to go, and Cyclone family will support our Mill players as much as possible, with team-game trainings still mandatory for all.
