FC Astley
Division 4b, Master League
Manager: Liver5
Real makes it to the big time
After a final league day drama, where Real lost their place at the summit of division 2 for the first time all season, they were forced to play a playoff game against SK Rapid Wien. Fortunately, Real ran out 2-0 winners and thus their place in division 1 is guaranteed.

The jubilant manager had this to say: 'The final day drama was a bit of a disappointment but we always said that Sauce Town FC is a very good team that will chase you down until the final day, so congratulations to them! We're a knock out game specialist so we went into our playoff game full of confidence'.

How does it feel to be promoted to division 1 for the first time in Real's history? 'We're absolutely overjoyed to be taking our place amongst the Sundets Pärla's,  CCCP's and Sauce Town's of the world. This is a real golden era in the Master league's history with such quality on show that no place in any division is guaranteed. As an example  of the strength in this league, Babswinstodaymaybe only just scraped out of division 3 with last day heroics and a playoff victory'.

What's next for Real? 'A time of celebration and reflection on what exactly went wrong in the last 2 games of the season, where we seemingly had the league sewn up, only for disaster to strike. The boys made amends today with a no nonsense display. See you all in division 1 next season!'.
