Thank you to the Aztex U23 team for restoring a little balance! We were back at our 'ancestral' home last night to take on the El Paso Patriots at Dragon Stadium. It was great to see our young team, some familiar faces and Coach Suhnholz jumping up from the bench with his usual excitability! Goals from Leone Cruz (2)Andres Cuero and Kendell McFayden gave the fans plenty to cheer about. Thanks to River City Rangers for providing not only the half time entertainment but also some excellent ball managers.

Phil is back after a trip to Stoke City - a board meeting, the final home game and the Player Awards Night. He also delivered some Aztex jerseys to sell in the club shop. There were a couple of Stoke City fans wearing Aztex jerseys to the game against Wigan!

There has been a lot of talk and speculation about the visa situation for some of the players - the work permit process was started as soon as the players signed, it's just very drawn out and incredibly frustrating for us and the players. The good news is all the players now have their work permits approved, we are now waiting on US Embassy appointments for a couple of them to get their passports stamped. Don't you just love bureaucracy!

Tomorrow evening (6.00pm) sees us take on league leaders the Carolina Railhawks - hope to see everyone out there again making lots of noise!
