Asian President's Cup - Group Stage - Game 1







We outplayed K.R.L but didn't do enough to seal the 3 points, the group is still a stalemate with everyone on 1 point for now.

Bhutani Cup - Final & Squad Stats













We won a domestic treble! (Thimphu League, National League & Cup) in my first season! and we got a tidy £10K from it as well which will do wonders for the finances....speaking of which:



Our finances are looking pretty good as we're amateur


Squad Stats



A fully Bhutanese squad as we don't have a high enough reputation to attract any foreigners (only 47 Bhutanese players are willing to join us and only 13 of those are over 16!)


Key Players

Bhutani Cup - Semi Final





Yet another strong win! and with that we are in the Bhutani Cup Final against Nangpa on the 5th of April.

Youth Candidates

Asian President's Cup - Group Stage Draw







I'm going to be honest, I don't have a clue how we'll fare, the other teams in our group have greyed out players, we could be great, we could be dire.

Bhutani Cup - Quarter Final





Another great win! We face RIHS (Royal Institute of Health Sciences) in the Semi Final in March.

Bhutani National League - 10th Game of 10









And that is the league season over and done with, a cracking 3-0 win, if only we could have played as well as that for the whole of the league, we still have the Bhutani Cup to play before the end of the season.

Bhutani National League - 9th Game of 10





Well that was a drub drub drub drub DRUBBING, I thought the lads would get complacent, guess I was wrong! Diwash Subbha had a great game with his hat-trick, especially the last goal which was from 30-35 metres away!

Bhutani National League - 8th Game of 10







And with 2 games left we have won the league and that means we qualify for the Asian President's Cup!

We could have and should have won the game though, again we struggled to hold our lead and this time we lost it right at the end as I feared would happen the last few games.

Bhutani National League - 7th Game of 10





We can't seen to win by more than one goal which makes things quite tense, although we've got the league tied up needing at most 1 point from our next 3 games to win the title!

Bhutani National League - 6th Game of 10





Another hard fought 3 points against Phuentsholing and we're now 8 points clear with 4 games to go.

Bhutani National League - 5th Game of 10







A solid if not unspectacular win over bottom place Phuentsholing sees us 6 points clear at the half-way stage.

Should I carry on with this style of updating or just do it every 2 or 3 games?

Bhutani National League - 4th Game of 10





A straight-forward, simple 1-0 win.

Bhutani National League - 3rd Game of 10







A brace from Sonam Gyeltshen and a goal from Diwash Subba seals another 3 points for us as we hit the top of the table.

Bhutani National League - 2nd Game of 10





Another close game but we got the needed 3 points, not a lot else to say here.

Bhutani National League - 1st Game of 10





A decent point against Ugyen Academy, all the action was in the 2nd half as we scored first in the 51st minute, they equalized in the 53rd, took the lead in the 60th and we got an equalizer in the 64th minute.

Bhutani Cup 3rd Round



All the action happened in the 2nd half as we easily beat Bhutan Clearing 4-1, scoring 3 after we went down to 10 men, we face Thimphu Ravens in the Quarter Final.

Eighth League Game Of Eight







And another close win to end the league, or as I've discovered, the qualifying league before the National League starts, we end up finishing unbeaten and 12 points ahead of 2nd after only 8 games!



And here's the National League, another 10 games for us.

Seventh League Game Of Eight





An action packed game which led to the resignation of the Druk Stars manager! we've clinched the title now and after the game against Dzongree we can look forward to the Champions Playoff and the rest of the FA Cup.

Fifth League Game Of Eight





And with that we secure a play-off place! A massive 4-0 win over the team that were our closest competitors, even better is that it was at home and even better than that was it was a fan day that attracted 576 people!

Fourth League Game Of Eight





Not a lot of shots, but a great lack of discipline from Yeedzin but again, we got the 3 points!
