| Champions!!! |
The Balkan 176 vodka is in full flow, already, at the Xpert Arena tonight, after Balka Juniors XIV convincingly saw off Bekas FC in the Xpert League Cup Final, securing their place in the Xpert Champions League XXXX on the way.
"Speechless"' said a still-clearly-in-disbelief LukeFM, "absolutely speechless.
"'They edged us on paper, but our tactics were good and they were a man down. I thought it would be tight; but the guys put in the game of their lives, and even when we went a goal down I knew we could get back in it.
"The feeling when Forsgren put away that 86th minute freekick..."
It caps off a perfect week for the XIV, in which they also confirmed their promotion to Division 2.
"The Season got off to a bit of a nightmare start, but none of that matters now," said LukeFM, "promotion was always the aim, but to qualify for the XCL several seasons ahead of schedule... still pinching myself."
He also took a moment for his opposite number, _Bekas_, who, he said, "must be absolutely gutted.
"To come so close and yet so far will be very tough, but I have a feeling this is just the first chapter in our rivalry. They have a very strong side, and will be back. We wish them all the best in securing 3rd place in the Xpert League on Tuesday."
And with that, our reporter left LukeFM to go and celebrate with his players and fans, with parties at the Xpert Arena and the Avenue de L'ol expected to go on well into the night.
