NVD, Griffo Thanks guys, we're going well so far!
February-March: One Hand On It!
Oriental wanted to wrap up the title chase as soon as possible
Feb-March Results
For a month that was spent majorly on the road, all I can say is wow. We are in true title winning form and are surging towards sealing it. Four wins and a draw meant we accumulated a total of 13 points from our five games.
Our first match was up against Freamunde, on a Valentine's Day clash. There was no loves lost in this match between us and the team that we narrowly edged out in the Championship Playoff, as we were rampant in front of goal from beginning to end. Cape Verdean Balack kicked off proceedings with a 3rd minute strike before Stefano Franchi continued on his sudden surge of amazing form.
Sergio Liparoti added one of his own to break a long goalless streak. His sigh of relief right after putting it in the back of the net meant hopefully he'd have the confidence to bang a few more home to close out the season. Freamunde's João Coito wrapped up the affair with an own goal.
6 days later we were set on beating lowly Sp. Covilhã to extend our unbeaten run. Balack, who's been finding himself on the scoreboard more often than not lately, scored a goal for a third consecutive time.
Cedric Omoigui quickly made it 2-0 twenty minutes later, and despite conceding late, we held on for another three points. Our stunning away form continued and we showed our prowess in front of goal with a annihilation of our closest rivals, Atlético CP. Youngster Pedro Monteiro opened a new chapter in his short footballing career with his first ever goal - while Nigerian Cedric Omoigui showed just what a quality attacking player he is - with a hat trick in a matter of minutes.
Vitoria Setúbal is one of the toughest fixtures we could face. And I was prepared for defeat well before the game had begun. Yet up until half time I was proved wrong, as it was still 0-0. We got a big slice of luck when Stanislas Oliveira turned the ball into his own net twelve minutes into the second half!
March concluded up north in Vila do Conde, with an away game at Varzim. We'd been extremely lucky last time around versus this team, needing a 93rd minute Balack-winner to see us through. This time, however, we weren't so lucky and were held to a point.
League Table
And with that, we have secured promotion to the Primeira Liga!!! This is a huge, huge, HUGE step forward and to know we'll be pitting our wits against the big boys of Portugal is just music to every Oriental fans' ears!
It doesn't stop here, however - we'll be looking to wrap up the title shortly and promotion is not enough - we won't accept second place!
The Month Ahead
These final four games have given us the ideal opportunity to wrap up the title. If we can win all of these games, which I'm fairly confident of doing, we know we can do it. We've got one hand on the title, we can feel it in our grasp - now it's ours to take!
After these few days everything will return to normal and I'll be able to churn out the updates as I'm nearly two seasons ahead
