[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2029

An away draw to the armed forces keeps hem at bay as we're 3 clear with a game in hand.

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2029

Another solid win.

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2029

Just the 3 points and the league is getting tighter.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2030

A big win over Wallis moves us 6 clear with a game in hand...

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2030

16 points to play for and we're 9 clear, can we finally hold on?!

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2030

We better not bottle this again.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2030

[oohlala111]

Oh no, hold it together!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2029/30 End of Season Review

Bottle FC

[Makoto Nakamura]

2030/31 Pre-Season

No friendlies and we're predicted to retain the league.

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2030

Perfect start to the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2030

The perfect start continues as we're 12 points clear!

[Makoto Nakamura]

October 2030

The unbeaten run is over but Dukay has now passed 100 league goals scored, in leagues which only have 14-16 league games that's quite the achievement!

[Makoto Nakamura]

People don't tend to get sacked in Kiribati either...

[Makoto Nakamura]

November 2030

18 points clear! 

[Makoto Nakamura]

December 2030

Just the one match which we really should have won.

[Makoto Nakamura]

January 2031

A disappointing loss in a very evenly matched game.

[Makoto Nakamura]

February 2031

And we really should have won that more convincingly!

[Makoto Nakamura]

March 2031

An easy win and we've retained the league! And since this is my 4th season here I will most likely resign at the end of the season.

[Makoto Nakamura]

April 2031

What a great season this turned out to be!  

[Makoto Nakamura]

2030/31 End of Season Review

It's good to be able to leave Wallis & Futuna on a very good high, now I just have to wait for anyone in Kiribati to face the sack.

2030/31 Best XI

Marlon Paul

Felix Lacroix - Mohamed Nazeer Nagur Meena - Jean-Paul Bourdin - Jean-Yves Bonneau

Denson Etnold

Marlon Ligohr - Joshua Olhagaray

Marvin Laurdine                                        Romano Foti

Dukay Laudrine

[Makoto Nakamura]

We're on the island of Tarawa.

A club that's never made the Championship playoffs.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

The pitch can sometimes get a bit waterlogged.

[Makoto Nakamura]

That's quite a lot of rivalries. 

[scousevasey]

Random Kiribati fact - it is the only country in each of the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western hemispheres, as defined by the equator and the Grenwich Meridian extended as a line of longitude

[Makoto Nakamura]

2032 Pre-Season

After all our signings we're predicted to win the league.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2032

A mixed start, relying on 2nd half goals.

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2032

A good away win puts us top of the table.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2032

Just the one match and the loss moves us down to 3rd.

[Minuy600]

Now we're getting to the good stuff.

Do you have the league history and records? And preferably, what BTC has done in the past? Tabiteuea North was one of the clubs I faced in 2020 and they managed 4th, so your save does reflect how mediocre they really are.

What's funny is that Betio actually have the logo BTC uses in your logopack, compared to mine. Now I have to wonder which one has done it right.

I've had a very quick look online and this is BTC's logo: (followed by some more Kiribati logos!)

Tarawa Urban Council: (I'm going to guess they're Tarawa Teinianano now.)

Makin:

Maiana:

Marakei:

North Tarawa:

Onotoa:

Tamana:

Tabiteaua South:

 

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

 

A quick before & after.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

And for what it's worth, this is the logo for my first club, G&B Club Rull.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2032

A poor month with just the one point.  

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2032

Better, but we're still in 3rd and could fall down to 4th if Maiana win their games in hand.

2032 Youth Candidates

Kiribati has youth intakes!!

Ben looks very good already and Suliasi is fast!

[Makoto Nakamura]

2032 End of Season Review

Dreadful end to the season sees us down in 4th.  

There's an actual quality difference between Wallis & Futuna and Kiribati, as Dukay was very good in Wallis & Futuna but here he's only 1* ability and managed just 45 minutes this season.

2032 Best XI

Terry Manuriki

David Neville - Hue Davis - Jope Sole - Reece Soromon

Ben Raj - Oliver Mead - Ravinesh Pareanga

Neeraj Steven - Jeremy Weal - Merlin de Jong

[Makoto Nakamura]

2033 Pre-Season

Dreadful.

But we're worryingly clear favourites for the league title.

[Makoto Nakamura]

May 2033

Terrible first match, we need more games like the North Tarawa one.

[Minuy600]

If I can do it within 2 seasons, then so can you. Good luck out there, you'll need it.

It's not looking likely. 

[Makoto Nakamura]

June 2033

We've got every single player in the best xi, yet we can't perform.

[Makoto Nakamura]

July 2033

Another away win.

 

[Makoto Nakamura]

August 2033

We won a home match and we're top of the group!

[Makoto Nakamura]

[Makoto Nakamura]

September 2033

Another home loss and we fall to 3rd.
