GROUP A - Tanners Park, Dowenburgh
Crystilakere 0-0 Lamoni

GROUP B - Green Street, Westleigh
Vilita 1-1 Aquiliana

GROUP C - Ackersleigh Park, Remires
NEWI Cefn Druids 2-2 Pedriana

GROUP D - Atterbrook Way, Elliston
Krytenia 3-0 Turori

GROUP E - Coalfields, Osteria New Town
Starblaydia 0-1 Nojika

"Welcome back to KBS Olympic Special. For those of you who've just joined us, Krytenia have made a massive start to their quest for Football Gold, with a three-nil drubbing of Turori. Now it's over to Frank Giuliano with the rest of the soccer news."

"Thanks Gary, and we start with Group A, still wide open after Crystilakere and Lamoni battered out a nil-nil draw. Vilita, favourites for Group B, were held to a one-all stalemate by Aquiliana, and top seeds NEWI Cefn Druids were also held, by Pedriana.

Finally, the big shock of Matchday One came in Osteria. Starblaydia, another favourite for the title, were downed one-nil by Nojika."

"Thanks for that Frank, and all I can say is watch out, the Celestials are on the Golden Trail!"

DRUIDSPORT NEWSFLASH: OLYMPIC SPECIAL

Björn-Trevor Frederiksson: "Well, the young Druid team that has been sent to take part in the AO Olympic football tournament struggled to a 2-2 draw with Pedriana in their opening match. The squad is essentially an under-23s squad with three over-age players permitted. It meant that a lot of players with experience in the full national side could play, as a lot of them are pretty young. If we look at the squad..."

Goalkeepers

1. Reg Garth (35, GK, Trevor City) ''' *
12. Lee Bell (22, GK, Inter Dave)
20. Owen Grainger (18, GK, Newton Vale)

Defenders

16. Trevor Griffiths (29, LB, Cefn Albion) '' *
3. Joseph Matthews (19, RB, Kirkanden) *
5. Roland McDonald (21, CB, Cefn Albion) ' *
18. Trevor McDonald (19, CB, Cefn Albion) ' *
2. Trevor Melling (22, LB, Llllllllllcwllllllll Rovers)
6. Trevor Williams (21, CB, Graymouth)
14. Yvan Muntz (20, RB, Dinamo Neodzki)
22. Trevor Gates (19, CB, Cranbury United)

Midfielders

21. Maurice "Mo" Leicester (23, CM, Inter Dave) '*

17. Fred Linton (21, RM, Parkville)
19. Tobias Bath (18, LM, Parkville)

Forwards

9. Trevor Evans (21, FW, Kirkanden) '
10. Trevor Trevor (19, FW, Trevor City) '
13. Liam Gessemschmitthaagen-Po (28, CF, Dankeshoen F.C. [GZ]) ''' *
23. Trevor Law (18, FW, Inter Dave) '' *

"...we can see that a lot of the players were in the Druids squad at World Cup 16, with a few younger faces thrown in for good measure. The stars of the team should be Liam Gessemschmitthaagen-Po, who is one of the over-age players, Bill Posters and Maurice Leicester. Well, we would have the highlights for you, but as the Druids manager for this tournament Trevor Welsh has kidnapped the footage in embarrasement, you'll just have to believe us that it finished two all. More from the football after the Druids' next match against Wapahok... Wapakho... um, the Druids' next match later on in the week."

"...the referee looks at his watch, and yes, there's the final whistle! And so the Falcons have improbably held the favored Jungle Cats to a 1-1 draw!"

"Well, Mo, this was really a superb game by these young players. The AOC was so confident in these players that no overage players were added, and the chemistry they gained from the run in U21 5 really helped them get a chance in this tournament."

"Yes, let's look at the replay, just a beautiful goal scored by Zeloptus, assisted by his club teammate Facatus, Kater had no chance on that one."

"Vilita really didn't show the dominance expected of them; everyone thought they would roll over this group. Now they need a win over Abattoir tomorrow night to have a good chance at qualifying."

"This Falcon team was near-perfect in this match. They had 1 shot off the crossbar, and one headed by Mirus into the post, so it could easily have been a win. Still, they have to be exteremly confident with their chances against Abattoir."

"That's right. Well, to recap, Mané scored the quick goal to put the Jungle Cats up early, but Zeloptus came back in the second half with the equalizer, and both teams receive a crucial point in this 2-game qualifier. We'll now send it back to Bilosus Rastus in the studio."

"Thanks, Mo. We'll now send things over to the Newellsby Centre..."
