Sporting Radio: 'Well it's another season where one has to blink at the sight of Colne at the top of the table after just one game...also interesting to see Novia beat a rather sluggish Chamber Athlete at Athleticas road.' The Red Star chairperson has already caused unrest throughout the supporters after stating that his team won't be in the title race this season due to budget restrictions. Bayerns celebrated the opening of their new contemporary art gallery in the city centre with an artisan performance against new kids on the block, the old revolutionaries themselves Universo Collunteen.

Sporting League: Game 3.

Bayerns, runners up last season seem to have had a bit of a point to prove after their 5-0 win at home to Metronona. Bayerns boss: 'I think the scoreline was flattering to to be fair, but the players held their nerve and got a well earned 3 points in the bag.

Bayerns extended their lead at the top of the table with a 3-1 win against a depleted Indentine. Bayerns had a major scare in the 1st 10 seconds after going a goal behind.

You can print that. I'm not interested in all the hype surrounding our move either. I must say that I'm gonna be havin' a few words with The Colbreck league board about some of the little whispers surrounding our so called defection. Well, I will say the Colbreck league has had it's day...I mean who's even heard of it outside our part of the world. Yep, it's dead in the water that one, I can tell ye.' Universo found the Athletican front line too much to handle as they went down by two goals to nil...Bayerns won at home to Chamber Athlete 3-0...Novia came back from a goal down to beat Tranquilayers 2-1...Novia boss, 'Why, that was close!
