:: FUERTEVENTURA 0 ALICANTE 0 --- PLAY OFFS 1st Leg ::

Im not sure what Alicante expected from our team today but i bet they were suprised how good we can play.
With a fantastic crowd of around 2,500 the atomosphere was electric and the players could feel the importance of what was expected from them.Alicante were in their all orange strip and like an orange they were hoping to squeeze something out of this match.
The first half both teams were well matched and the keepers did not have to make any desperate saves,Almieda had selected a lineup which was more defensive than attack and i think this was a good move.
Solid at the back with Miguel,Ivan and Soto but not sure why Marce was not in the line up,he has had a great season and has saved us many points,lets hope he gets chance to shine in Alicanti.
Memo was as normal working hard up front chasing everything but very few chances came his way.
One free kick he did manage to lift the ball over the defence and beat the keeper but hit the bar,a bit unlucky or what.
The game flowed from end to end but very few chances fell to either team and the halftime whistle went before we knew it.
Now when the second half got under way i was not sure what to expect,would we try just to defend it out or attack to get a goal.We did not want to conceed a goal but one in the bag would be great for us.Then 15 mins in a lovely through ball to Memo from Ivan gave him chance to slot home,a great goal and 1 up,but not to be,linesmans flag up for offside,and not sure i agree looked a good goal to me.
Anyway with 30 mins gone Almieda knew that Alicanti didnt have to much up front to realy put us under pressure so he made a few changes and brougt on Moise and Futre to try to snatch a winner.Fali was Captain today and he played a blinder but he to was subbed for Richard.
Now with all these subs on could we do it,i have to say we sure were trying hard and when a Memo shot was going for the top corner it looked like we had pulled it off but the keeper whos face looked very familier to me made a save of the season and tipped the ball over the bar.
We continued the onslaught but were unable to get the goal we wanted so it ended in a nil,nil draw.
What i will say is that the Fuerte Lads stand a really good chance of winning next week so if you want to go and watch them contact the Club Office,i think the cost is around 200 euros but that does include flights and hotel so go if you can.
All the best of luck Lads

:: LUGO 0 FUERTEVENTURA 1 AND WE ARE IN THE PLAY OFFS ::

PLAY OFFS THIS SUNDAY 25th MAY against ALICANTE at HOME KO 11.00am Last Sunday Fuerteventura played Lugo away on a pitch that was so wet it seemed that it was going to be difficult to play any footy but Lugo who thought that they would gain an advantage in these conditions were wrong.
For the Fuerte Lads they may not see much rain but they can sure handle themselves in these conditions as they play many clubs with normal turf.
I must say the first half was very equal and both keepers pulled off some good saves,our defence this week was much more intune and played with the confidence we know that can play with,the lads played as if they really wanted to win.
Well first half over and not sure where a goal was going to come from and with the other teams below us all winning we had to do something.
We started the second half with the will to win and throw every thing we could at Lugo but they would not buckle,the keeper again making some great stops.
Then you know out of nothing an easy ball to the keeper he thinks he has it covered and it slipped out of his hands and MEMO being the hawk that he is was there following up to tap home the winner.
What a moment for the lads,reminded me of the game against ZALLA last season in the play offs when we won 1 nil.
We only had to hold out for 20 mins after the goal and i must say we did it with class,now can we do something in the PLAY OFFS,well i think we have the first game this Sunday at home so when i know i will let you all know

:: FUERTEVENTURA 1 OURENSE 1 ::

So many people in the ground today thought it was going to be an easy game and we would secure the 3 points that we needed to get in to the PLAY OFFS.Ourense are fighting to stay up and as we all know you dont go down without a fight.
Well the kids all went out with the team which was great to see, and has now become the norm,the family atmosphere in the ground was fantastic and a leason to many clubs.
What a start we had only a couple of mins into the game and we were awarded a penalty,up stepped GUSTAVO and banged home a cracker.
Was this to be our day or what,with Man U playing for the Championship as well i thought it was more or less game set and match,and we would cruise home to an easy win,but that was not to be.
Ourense 4th from bottom needed all the points they could get and i have to say at times out played the Fuerte lads,and with only 15 mins gone a well struck shot brought out a great save from Novoa.
Now with this under his belt the corner should have been simple but what happens we are again wayward at the back and conceed a stupid goal.
Now all we have to do is get a 2nd goal and that should wrap things up,well as hard as we tried and with some great crosses in from Futre to Memo he could not get the ball in the net.
The first half passed so quick and now we had only 45 mins to put things right,well we attacked and attacked,and attacked but could we get the ball in the net,no way so with 45 mins of bombarding the Ourense goal who i must say defended so well that they deserved a draw and a point,good for them and bad for us.
Well all is not lost as next week we have Lugo away,they are just below us with the same points and only 1 goal difference,now if we loose we are out of the running,if we win then we can finish 3rd or 4th and be in the PLAY OFFS depends on how the other results go.
So all of you that love our team pray like made next Sunday and we can look foward to a few more games in the PLAY OFFS

:: VECINDARIO 0 FUERTEVENTURA 2 ::
:: FUERTEVENTURA 0 RAYO VALLECANO 3 ::

You had the feeling when you entered the ground that this was going to be a special day with lots of fans with painted faces and lots of drums making one hell of a noise.
I have to say it was a very hot day and the Fuerte lads when they were warming up didnt look to sharp and with this team from Madrid they knew they had a real battle on their hands.
From the KO Rayo Vallecano looked the sharpest team and were winning most of the 50,50 balls,they put us under a lot of pressure early on and even though we did well for the first 15 mins it was a very easy headed goal on the far post yet again that set us a big up hill climb.
We tried to get into the game and Memo did have chances to get us back on level terms but we were suffering.
Lucky to go in only 1 nil down we still had a chance to may be pull this back and grab a point.
The lads did start the second half well and with some great runs and crosses from Futre and hard work from Memo we were unlucky not to head home at least one goal and with a fantastic spin and shot in the box again from Memo just going wide you knew this was not our day.
As time went on we had to push more and more men foward to try to get the equaliser but we paid the price, and a couple of easy goals for Rayo Vallecano buried us.
I have to say we did look a tired team but we are not out of the chace,next week we are away to VECINDARIO and if we can pull off a win there then i think we will get back into the PLAY OFF zone again.
We only have one more home game this season which is in 2 weeks time against OURENSE so come and help get the lads into the PLAY OFFS and may be we can all enjoy a higher level of footy next season

:: FURTEVENTURA 2 DEPORTIVO B 1 this Sunday 20th April we play Real Madrid Castilla away good luck lads ::

I was 15 mins late for this game and im not sure what i missed,wrapped in 2 t shirts and a jacket and still feeling cold i just hoped the game would warm me up.
So there i was just having a chat with Ian,Gary and Ash and Mark and his boy turned up and came over and as i was chatting to them Deportivo scored.
Whats going on 1 down and a real important game for us,3 points to day would do us great but to loose would be a disaster.
The wind which was blowing strong seemed to be making things difficult for the players so i guessed that Deportivo chose to kick with the wind in the first half and may be get an early goal which they did,made sense,we allways say that the wind is worth 1 goal and it was.
Fuerte battled hard to try to keep the the game under control and they did real well,there was not a player out there that was not fighting hard,and with a strong heart the lads went in just the 1 down.
After last weeks poor performance im sure Almeida laid it on the line as to what was to be expected of them and they had to pull this back.
Pull it back or what ,the lads came out like tigers out of a cage,they chased every ball tackled for eveything and got things going their way,10 mins in and a bit of a scrabble and Memo got one over the line, happy or what.
What we didnt expect was that Memo just a minute later would get on the end of a long floating cross from Eloy to dive home our second.
It all seemed so crazy but there we were 2.1 up and cruiseing.Deportivo just could not belive what had happened and lost heart.
They tried to get back at us but we defended so well in the air on the ground we showed them why we are in the 2nd B Division and pushing for promotion.
There is not much more to say, but a back pass from the Deportivo defence left their keeper stranded and the ball hit the post and went out ,could have been 3.1.
I have to say as well the ref and linesmen all had great games and that is rare here so well done to them.
After the game the smiles on all the faces was a joy to see and when Pedro de la Fuente our President came over and gave me a big hug and i guess he was pretty happy as well.
We are now in 3rd place with 55 points,not bad ay
Now for those of you who want to know can we play in the 2nd A Division we can but first we have to make it to the PLAY OFFS and then win them.
We also have to replace our pitch for grass and cover in the stands but apart from that not much else,so here we are just 5 games from the end of the season and we have all sorts of possilities so why not come and see us play before the season ends.
We are away to Real Madrid B next week but then back at home on the 27th April to play the top side RAYO VALLECANO so come and join the Green Army and have some fun.

:: FUENLABRADA 3 FUERTEVENTURA 0 ::
No i cant believe it either,so now The Fuerte Lads have a lot to do to get into the PLAY OFFS they are now 6th in the league are playing DEPORTIVO B this Sunday 13th April at home ko 11.30 am they need to get at least a draw,as Deportivo are in 5th place,so if you can get to the ground and give the lads all the support you can that would be great.
all the best

:: FUERTEVENTURA 2 PAJARA 2 ::

For those of you that saw the away game at Pajara you will remember that we were cheated out of a win by the ref and linesman,so this weekend i hoped that the officials would be really good for this local derby,and they were apart from not giving us a penalty.
The game started as the norm a 2 min silence for someone who has passed on and then it was all action.
Pajara were out to get a 3 pointer today and with a couple of tall strikers who were soon putting our defence under pressure,we looked good and with Zapa in goal this week we hope no stupid errors as before,Miguel,Soto,Marce and Ivan in defence i felt sure this was going to be a shut out.
But 10 mins into the game a long cross from the right to the far post again saw us struggle and with no defence in sight Pajara tapped home an early leader.
Eloy,Maciot and Pedro continued to work hard in midfield and with some great balls foward to Futre ad Moise we were in with a chance to pull it back.
Sure enough after 20 mins a scrambled goal and claimed by Maciot put us back on level terms.
With the wind swirling and the ball flying in all directions the team that played footy on the deck will take control and thats what Fuerte did and bit by bit they attacked a strong Pajara defence and in the end the pressure paid off and Miguel knocked home a second for us and now we were 2.1 up and only 10 mins to half time.
I have seen Fuerte defend this sort of lead all season so was confident we would rap it up in the second half.
We started it well but Pajara had not read the script,we are ment to win this game 3.1 and what did they go and do knock in a 2nd goal on the break.
Almeida made a couple of changes and on came Memo who we hoped would get us a winner,Pajara content with 2.2 defended well,but with 15 mins to go to the final whistle a lovely through ball to Futre left him free to just beat the keeper,he was in the box the keeper came out caught Futre over he went and thats a penalty,or not,the ref didnt blow and the crowed went mad and the players complained but it made no difference the ref was not going to change his mind and that was that.
Finished 2.2 and there was some harsh words exchanged as the players ,coaches and the referees walked off,nobody got punched or shot so we gained 1 more point moved up to 4th place on our own and we are in the PLAY OFF ZONE.
Not bad so far for our 2nd B debut,we have some hard games in front of us but next week we are away to FUENLABRADA they are well down the league but we need to get 3 points from this game,lets hope we can do it.
The next home game will be a cruncher with DEPORIVO B and this will be one that we need to get at least a point,with only 7 games left to play we now need every point we can get.
We still have a good chance of winning the League but in realistic terms i think it would be great just to be in the Play offs.
So hope to see you all again soon

:: ROY OF THE ROVERS RETURNS ::
Roy Webber a mate of mine for some years has now returned to watching footy, he has been taking photos of surfers and water sports and he has finally realised that footy is the best sport ever,sorry Roy just joking,but im am so taken with your photos,mainly because they put mine to shame that i want to show them to all Fuerte Fans many thanks Roy.
:: FUERTEVENTURA 1 SANTA BRIGIDA 3 ::

Last time Fuerte played Santa Brigida they lost 2.0 and we didnt fair much better today,in a game where the defence was not up to scratch and i must say some poor keeping from Novoa.
We went 1 nil down after 20 mins and we were not playing that bad but Santa Brigida a strong side put us under a lot of pressure.We in turn played nice footy and created some good chances Memo and Moise giving the SB defence problems.
At last with 5 mins to go in the first half we managed to scramble a goal when Marce tapped home from 2 yards,great back on level terms.
Now with only 2 mins to go the ref gave a free kick for a perfect challange just dont belive it and a long cross to the far post left Novoa in no mans land and all the tall number 9 had to do was head home,easy or what.
I was hoping to see some real agressive action in the second half and out and out attacks, it did come but very slowly,Futre working hard down the left and putting in some lovely crosses but SB keeper was good and took many out of the air.
30 mins gone and a great chance from the edge of the box,a scorching volley from Moise was going in the top corner and some how the SB keeper got his hands to it what a save,we couldnt believe it.
Fuerte continued to hammer the SB goal but to no ofail,and in the end a long ball down wind found a red shirt who with style left our defence and keeper stranded,3.1 and game over,what a shame but not the end of the world.
Next week we play bottom of the league San Isidro away so lets hope we can get 3 points there,we hope to be still in 4th or 5th place this week and may be next week get back up there so come on you Fuerte

:: FUERTEVENTURA 2 CELTA B 2 photo by Roy of the Rovers ::

Fuerte could have gone top of the league with 50 points this weekend as all the other results went well for them,but some how good luck was and wasnt with them.
The first half was full of action and great football but to the suprise of the Fuerte lads Celta B somehow got on the score sheet first after only 10 mins,a cross from the right was not cleared by Novoa and seemed as if it was going wide but some how found its way into the net unbelievable.
The lads didnt seem to concerned but Almieda was not happy with the defending of Marce or Soto and told them so.
Shock over and we were on the attack using every player we could to get foward on overlaps and to put in crosses Celta were buckling and with Futre and Memo causing their defence all sorts of problems it was only a matter of time before we scored.
What a suprise when Memo darted into the box and was brought down for a penalty that in my opinion was iffy but to give the no3 for Celta a red card was very hard.Well we all thought it was now to be 1-1 when Memo stepped up to take it but it was not his day as he knocked it wide of the right hand post i must say i think the keeper had it covered if it was going in but not to be.
Fuerte continued the onslaught and in the end a long ball for Diaz allowed him to score his first goal for Fuerte to make it 1.1 and only 30mins gone.
Celta continued to try to get back in the game but were over run and with 10 mins to half time another long ball up to Maciot allowed him to get in behind the back of the Celta defence and with the ball bouncing over the defender he was able to get to the ball before the keeper and chip the ball over his head to score our 2nd.
Now we all thought thats was that for the first half but the lads took the foot off the gas and again an attack down the right from the Celta lads led to almost exactly the same goal as they sored in the first 10 mins, now 2.2 and the half time whistle and we had it all to do again.
Now you would expect the boys to continue playing football in the second half on the ground and to feet,but no, more and more balls in the air and we looked poor.Now Celta with only 10 men had the plan to shut us out for 45 mins and go home with a point and be very pleased,they just left one man up front to try to hit us on the break and i have to say if it was not for Ivan Casquero making a fantastic tackle in the box while chasing back i think we would have lost this game.
Anyway Celta B totally frustrated the Fuerte lads and they just could not score the winner we wanted so a draw and another point.After the game i was chatting to Futre and asked him if they were dissapointed with the result,he said it was another point closer to the top of the league,how positive and how right he was,so now only 1 point seperates the top 4 teams, so this weekend is going to be really important for us all,none of the teams have an easy game so lets hope things go well for us at PONTIVEDRA good luck lads and come home with the bacon.

:: FUERTEVENTURA 3 AT. MADRID 2 photos this week provided by ROY of the ROVERS ::
Another great win for the Fuerte boys,goals from ELOY,MEMO and FUTRE in the first half more or less wrapped things up but they did let things slip in the second half but still came out 3-2 winners and deserve the 2nd place slot that they hold in the league tables.
Fuerte are off to San Sabastian Reyes this Sunday and being only 2 points behind Deportivo B they could be top of the league this Sunday if things go well for us and Deportivo are playing Universidad and thats no easy game,for us SS Reyes are 2nd from bottom but dont assume it will be an easy game,lets hope they come home with the bacon.
:: FUERTEVENTURA 2 MARINO LUANCO 1 thanks for this photo Roy ::

Fuerte won the away leg 1 nil in Asturias and did the double today with the finest last 5 minutes of footy i have seen Fuerteventura play.
I was not sure what the out come of the game was going to be to day as i had a gut feeling that things may not go the way i hoped,even though we have a great team sometimes you just cant get the ball in the net and thats how the first half seemed to me and when LUANCO slotted after just 10 mins after some good skills from their strikers they carved out a gap in our defence when ELOY plunged in and missed his player and gave no time to IVAN to get in a tackle so just inside the box LUANCO hammered home an unstoppable shot and ZAPARAIN was nailed to the goal line.
Now we played really skillfull football with all the passing moves you can think off,using all the space on the park tht was possible but when we got in front of goal we just could not finish,MOISE,MEMO,FUTRE just coud not nail one and it sure was not for the sake of trying,45 mins past so quick and just had chances to score go drifting by.
The second half was again played with class footy and as time went on i was sure we must get something out of this game,LUANCO seem to be getting tired and the astro turf was draining their legs but Furte pilled on the presure forcing corner after corner but to no of ale,then MEMO collected the ball just outside the box and darted for goal,very clever this lad as he entered the box a defender for LUANCO tugged his shirt,Memo hit the deck and the ref pointed to the spot,yeah now we are back on level terms and only 10 mins to go.
Memo collected the ball and after all the normal chit chat with the ref stepped up to take the penalty,easy as Memo all ways scores,but this time the ball hit the post and came out what bad luck was that and LUANCO were over joyed as it looked like thay were going home with 3 points,but this missed goal by Memo made him so fired up that a minute later he again recieved the ball out on the right cut inside and just on the edge of the box hammer home into the top of the net what a goal,now with just 2 mins to go we should be safe for a point but MOISE who had really worked hard all game some how turned the game on its head with a fantastic turn and hit on the edge of the box and the LUANCO keeper was so taken by suprise that he was wrong footed and MOISE slipped home the winner.
The crowd was roaring and MOISE took off his shirt to celebrate so the ref yellow carded him so he had to be subbed,but he sure didnt care as he just gave us 3 points.
2 mins of extra time was played and then the whistle went,bet LUANCO could not believe it,we thought we were having bad luck but think how they will feel this afternoon on the 3 hour flight back to ASTURIAS totally gutted and we more than happy.WELL DONE FUERTEVENTURA
MICK PARSONS
Next week we are away to LEGANES from Madrid so lets hope we can get another win there,we are 3rd in the league at this min so i sure hope we can get a bit higher next week.

Well Fuerte moved into joint second place yesterday with a win over Universidad,we are equal on points but a bit short on goal difference,any way well done lads.
Next week Fuerte are away again to ALCORCON so lets hope they can come home with another 3 points and may be we might be top of the League.

Antigua who are playing in the 3RD division can now look foward to a much stronger team this season and better results,who knows maybe they will be in the Play Offs as well at the end of the season and can join Fuerteventura in the 2nd B,good luck to them and i hope to see some of their matches when Fuerteventura are playing away
:: FUERTEVENTURA 2 LANZAROTE 1 ::

I have to say i was some what nervous about todays game as there was so much riding on it,not only because it was Lanzarote but we really needed the 3 points.
I did not want to be late to the ground but on my way there my van boiled over so i had to wait for it to cool down then put in some more water,boy was i mad,but just my luck the kick off was changed to 12 noon so i had loads of time.
Today seemed like a fiesta with plenty of Lanzarote fans in the ground as well it was going to be a hell of a game.I have to say when the team came out being led by Conejo in a goat suit it was just going to be a real laugh as well.
When the game finally got started after loads of photos with the kids it was now down to hard graft and skills.
Even though Lanzarote are very close to us in the league their form of play did not have the same skill capacity as Fuerte and as Terry and Ash pointed out in their opion we were all over them and they did not seem a good side,i think we were the better side in the first half but neither side had many chances to score and i think it was a little bit boring no not boring very even.45 mins past very quick and not much else to say about it refing was good and apart from Maciot taking a knock in the first 10 mins and Memo coming on that was about it.
I sure was hoping for a much more exciting second half and did not have to wait to long,Lanzarote now thinking they had to take the game to Fuerte did so with a passion and were pushing hard and their no5 a strong striker giving us a few problems at the back,there was some what of a push and shove match in our box and the ball crossed the line Lanzarote thinking they had scored were dissapointed when they saw the linesman had his flag up.
The Manager for Lanzarote was so mad that he must have said something to the ref,as you do and he gave him his marching orders,so off he went.
Then things started to get a bit more interesting,we were still trying to get a goal in front but by hitting balls in the air to Memo with a tall defender behind him was not a good idea they had to play it on the ground. Well 30 mins gone and it was looking like a draw then there was couple of naughty tackles and a yellow card or 2 and things were getting heated.
Fuerte now in full swing stormed down the right wing Futre crossed what a lovely ball and Memo who has been out injured with a pulled muscle slotted home from close range now we were flying.
10 mins to go and it was all happening.Lanzarote had not been beaten yet and stormed our goal some how no5 got round the back of Ivan in the box and slamed home an equaliser,Lanzarote ellated Fuerte gutted.
So now about 8 mins to go and there on the deck was Memo holding his face what happened you might ask.Well the tall no15 for Lanzarote was im sure a bit worried about Memo and clocked him one off the ball well the linesman saw it and the ref blew up,wow what a braul ensued,in the end the ref gave no15 the red card and their keeper for protesting wow this was great stuff.
Now only 2mins to go and Fuerte kept on pushing and like all great Derbys there has to be a winner and guess what that magic Memo got on the end of another cross and slotted home his and our second goal,what a finish.
Lanzarote tried to claw it back but it was all to late,the ref blew the whistle game over but there was still words being exchange between some of the players but in the most it was hugs and hand shakes and that is how it should be.So 3 more points and that moved us back up to 3rd place which puts us ony 3 points behind the leaders.Now next week we play UNIVERSDAD away which will be a very hard match to win but if we can we may just slip back to top spot so if there is any way we can get to Gran Canaria for this game i will put a notice on the web page,
So hope to see you all next week.
