Steady stuff, but yeah Rhyl aren't good enough to get to the level.

A LYGA MATCHDAY 15 Fought hard and earned a valuable win at Trakai to somehow make it to the league summit. Two quickfire goals from Tarasevich and immediately countered their kickoff to get Adrian Burcă back on the scoresheet. Arnas Zukauskas couldn&...

LFF TAURĖ THIRD ROUND A fun game for the neutrals, not for those in the dugouts. Seven changes to the team, drafting in two of last year's youth intake - one of them made it onto the scoresheet. A welcome return to Matulevicius heading in his fi...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 14 It's almost a guarantee that we win against ZK and continued that trend here. Conor McParland amongst the goals again as he took penalty duties from the suspended Abesadze, keeper guessed right but the shot was too accurate....

A LYGA MATCHDAY 13 Oh God, here we go again. Failed to convert anything which later gave us our comeuppance in the game. Atlantas were definitely woodwork happy, denied three times by it but bided their time to catch us in a snare. A wonderful 25 yard...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 12 Mass rotation helped us forget last week's woes and coast to victory at Lietava. Doesn't seem to matter who partners Pavlyukovich these days because he's the vertex of the side for scoring goals, Kabura the architect...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 11 Always, always, ALWAYS play to the final whistle. Suduva were no great shakes and yet they fought back after some dazzling partnering work up top by Pavlyukovich who opened it up and set up Burcă with a delicious second, some prop...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 11 Curse of the commenter. Zalgiris ruin our supreme start in a game they showed their superiority of old. Ruthless pressure had us crack like an egg, exposed for a cross and Klimavicius said thank you very much. The same man nearly ma...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 10 And that's us into double figures for unbeaten games this season, yet again making it hard for ourselves as we battled for victory. A bit of goalkeeping absurdity from Zukauskas had us behind at the break, possibly too much s...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 9 Talk about a sterling way to end the month, mopping the floor with Trakai after previously no win in eight against them. Pavlyukovich punished simple mistakes at the rearguard to tuck away back to back braces. Pavvy also helped a fir...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 8 Pressure does pay off if you have the right man up front. Pavlyukovich saving our skins yet again with a late flurry to turn it around against rivals Zalgiris Kaunas. In typical 'us' fashion we fell behind, left Nikolai Pop...

Some interesting news broke before the Atlantas game, our Belorussian CB Tarasevich now a Lithuanian citizen. Why is this important? We've been killed by the foreign players rule and now have one less in the team! A LYGA MATCHDAY 7 Breathless...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 6 Finally we were off a leash and mauling newly promoted Lietava in one way traffic. Ştefan Chiorescu curled in a free kick for the only goal in a rugged first half but the floodgates opened as the second half began. A proud moment for...

The month didn't start off too fresh. Zukauskas missing a sizeable portion of the season. A LYGA MATCHDAY 5 Seriously? A fourth straight 1-1 draw? Another game we salvaged from behind too, foolishly allowing Vladimir Skocibusic (arguably t...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 4 Finishing the opening month unbeaten, earning a worthy point at Zalgiris. Fell behind with a well composed finish by Zvonimir Visnjic but got level before half time, awarded a penalty and Abesadze slayed last week's penalty demo...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 3 Chuffing hell were we made to sweat in this encounter. A bloody awful performance somehow merited an excruciating late twist to deny Utenis all three points. Utenis were playing keepaway for a lot of the match, controlling and negati...

Already hit with a first injury, Birskys out for a few weeks. A LYGA MATCHDAY 2 STILL can't beat Trakai, in fact not won in our last eight against them. Unbiased opinion, I feel we were the better team on the day and only conceded early from a...

@r96Skinner - The next Manchester City, watch out world! ___________________________________________ So the takeover completed as expected. Though our new owner didn't open his wallet, he did take a bank loan of £53k. Better than nothin...

TRANSFERS OUT With finances in the dung pile, we resorted to a proper uproot of the squad. Some of whom didn't even feature, however players like Sarkisyan, Saarlas, Matulevicius and Poskus were the biggest chops. It may have saved us some cash...

That must have hurt, and to the worst possible team too.

Solid work! Just need one more push I'd say!

@r96Skinner - Trakai were so difficult to play against, they deserved to win the league and it's a shame they let themselves down! @Dan - Cheers fella! Yeah that Zalgiris win was so important otherwise we'd have been leapfrogged outside the Eur...

Difficult group but I expect at least third.

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 33 Finishing the season off in good spirits, but needed some elbow grease to overthrow Zalgiris Kaunas. Pavel Pavlyukovich capped off an impressive season with his 19th goal of the season to seal the all important win...

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 32 THERE IS ONLY ONE CONOR MCPARLAND!! His suspension in the last game must have truly charged him up to deliver the winner, coming from behind twice against Zalgiris. The green whites led into the break with a Brazinsk...

A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 31 Everything starting to derail now. We just can't seem to beat Trakai, but all credit to them they've surging for a first ever title. It was an unstoppable effort to win the game too, despite a strong defe...

Only back from injury too, smh. A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 30 Groans galore. Should've at least picked up a share of the spoils but let ourselves down massively to blow the league chase wide open. Suduva were more confident and perhaps...

Adding another injury to the list. A LYGA CHAMPIONS PLAYOFF MATCHDAY 29 Ideal start to the pursuit, a slender win against ten man Atlantas. A rare feature for Andrius Matulevicius at centre back and made a case to cement himself in the team, headin...

Just what I needed with a big game ahead plus the Champions Playoff not far off. A LYGA MATCHDAY 28 Had to reverse the bus out of the garage and park it in front of our goal in a stern defensive display at Zalgiris. Ştefan Chiorescu has been t...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 27 Destroyed our local adversaries yet again, gallivanting to a 4-0 half time lead. Pavel Pavlyukovich flaunting that 16 finishing with a first half hat-trick plus a Jurgen Hoxha header had us going like a freight train, especially s...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 26 Sighs and tuts, another set of dropped points at FBK Kaunas. Pavlyukovich won't get a better opportunity to score a one on one, goal spread wide open but instead fired straight at the keepers chest. It wasn't the best chan...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 25 Man like Pavlyukovich. The brazen Belorussian gets us out of jail again with two late show stoppers, overturning Suduva's first half lead. Took a while to get our sea legs after Deividas Stesko caught us by surprise to leave Zu...

YOUTH INTAKE Greeted with not quite the 'golden generation' of youth intakes but some keepers in there for sure...not the goalkeepers though, they're sh*t. Also a surprise to see a paddy in the list. Dainius Marcinkevicius - AM(RLC) -...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 23 At least we ended the month positively, recording a safe 2-0 win at Utenis. Jurgen Hoxha, the man of the hour with two classic poacher goals from crosses on either side. A rare start for Vahagn Sarkisyan and almost brought an impres...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 22 Definitely flattered Trakai with that scoreline. A few fortunate efforts and they won the game, and that's not me being salty. That bastard Zutautas scored once more against us, Zukauskas failed to keep it out when he really sh...

Some bad news with Abesadze, ruled out of the cup match coming next. LFF TAURĖ QUARTER FINAL Crashed and burned in extra time to hand us a shock exit from the cup. Silas made life very difficult for us despite Zukaukas firing us in front, but their...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 21 Huge win to reel us back into top three contention. Giorgi Abesadze celebrated his first goal in a Stumbras outfit, sending Daniel Horvath the wrong way in a penalty won after McParland was bundled over in the area without complaint...

LFF TAURĖ FOURTH ROUND No banana skins here, Adrian Burcă showcasing his skills in a glistening full debut. A rare goal from Artem Tarasevich got us out of first gear, but we really revved up in the second half. Pavlyukovich and Burcă were like waves...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 20 Nervy, but snatched it at the death against our other Kaunas rivals. Good first half pressure gave way for Jurgen Hoxha to grab his second goal since his loan move from Zalgiris. Such a soft equaliser to concede straight after the r...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 19 Christ almighty...only us eh? Bottom side FBK Kaunas pulled the carpet right up from under us in what I can only describe as 12th man influence (i.e. the ref), dishing out 8 yellows and 1 influential red. It was our own fault for...

Nice to see you back @Cymro, just make sure you don't finish above Ireland and I'll probably follow this story.

A LYGA MATCHDAY 18 Returning to our best, pushing Suduva aside and take the spoils. Marius Urba slammed in a wonderful free kick only five minutes in with Hoxha picking up where he left off, linking up with Pavlyukovich for the second. The Belorussian...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 17 Now that's what I call impact! Hoxha delivered the goods as we hoped he would, hammering home as half time approached while also at the crux of the second goal, moving into the left channel to gather space for Birskys who set u...

The end of June and beginning of July greeted us with various injuries to throw curveballs before the league return. TRANSFERS IN We were busy boys in the next transfer window; recruiting four new names, filling in voids where we really need...

Love to learn a bit about Asian leagues, looking forward to it!

LFF TAURĖ THIRD ROUND Making light work of Lietava. A special day for Pavel Pavlyukovich to mark his 50th goal for Stumbras, ploughing a shot into the top corner in a relatively controlled first half. Our wingers combined for the second as Marius Urba...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 16 Make it one win in ten, at least we looked a lot more vibrant without breaking through. Pavel Pavlyukovich came closest but was denied by Utenis keeper Armen Zaqaryan, while at the other end Utenis rattled the bar midway through the...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 15 Going from bad to worse, cruelly denied something with two late Trakai goals against our ten men. Had no attacking threat on the game and resorted to guarding ourselves at least a point, even moreso when stand in midfielder Matulevi...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 14 Obliterated in a defensive mismatch with Zalgiris' terrifying attack. Pavlyukovich may have brought us some early thrills but soon became downhills. Rrapaj cancelled it out just four minutes later and not even ten minutes since...

A LYGA MATCHDAY 13 Hacked off, we should have buried Zalgiris Kaunas six feet under. Gave the nod to 16 year old striker Marius Vasiliauskas to aid our striker crisis and almost lit the fuse immediately but devilishly unlucky the post got in the way o...
