Dear all, take note of the following.
Dear Teams,
As we work with the Singapore Sports Council (SSC) for pitch allocations for our league games on a monthly basis, it has just come to our attention that the SSC, will be closing a big percentage of its pitches in November and December of 2009. This is in line with SSC's yearly maintenance and repair works during these months. With that our league will be affected. This is a first for D2D, as we usually experience the SSC to stagger its maintenance programme so as not to close a majority of pitches at the same time. This we feel will affect other leagues and organisers.
During this period, D2D will continue with our league games with some challenges, an example being - teams may not be playing every week. D2D is also in the midst of negotiations with private field owners to secure non-SSC fields during this time. As is usually the case, there will be not be any league games organised in the last two weeks of December due to the festive season's holidays. Looking at the positive side of the situation, we will have better pitches come January 2010, and considering the upcoming monsoon season, we may experience alot of call-offs or rain-offs due to bad weather if the league will go on as originally planned.
We understand that this may significantly affect the league schedule and your teams' commitments. We appreciate your patience, understanding and cooperation and are happy to discuss further to explain details. Fixtures will continue to be updated on our website. Kindly direct any queries on the above matter to info@d2dsports.com or contact your main D2D liaison staff.
Thanks for your kind understanding.

Division 4: Gap develops
It may be 2 games into the season but a little gap has already developed at the top of the Div 4 table. Kentridge Rangers, Osiris FC and Unido FC each won their game comfortably and extended their lead at the top of the table. Kentridge Rangers, formerly from Div 1, were particularly impressive and already have a goal difference of 9 from 2 games. Osiris FC also demonstrated great fighting spirit, coming from behind to wrestle a 3-2 win over Woodlandvista WV. (See match report by Osiris FC)
In Ahmad Ibrahim Sec, Macsters FT secured their first win of the season with a 3-1 win over former mini car league side SHCFC and restored some much needed confidence after last weekend's disappointing capitulation to Osiris FC.

Division 1: Oogleeee wins
Oogleeee Boys got their season off to a good start as they squeezed a narrow 3-2 victory over Nitroz, who had a player sent off.
Division 2: KB continues struggle
KB United, relegated from Div 1, continued to struggle for form in their opening game in Div 2 as they were out-classed by New Eastroids FC 4-1. Renaissance FC showed newly promoted FC Tempastella that life in a higher division will not be as smooth sailing as before with a whopping 6-3 victory.
Division 3: 1980s come from behind
In Orchid Park Sec, 2 late goals by 1980s United FC saw them come from behind to win 3-2 against newly promoted Macheda. Total Football, who are Island Wide League participants D2D FC's feeder team, overcame Ultras by the same scoreline while Season 3 Div 4 champions Samalongkok were held to a 2-2 draw by Redbacks FC.
Division 4: Osiris downs Macsters
League debutants Osiris FC romped to a 5-1 victory against Macsters FT. Osiris FC's strategy of constant substitutions to keep their 11 players on the field fresh worked to their advantage as they destroyed Macsters FT in a devastating 2nd half display.
Kentridge Rangers, rumoured to have been relegated to Div 4 by their own request, fired 6 past Sporting Goras without reply. New boys Unido FC got off to the perfect start with a 1-0 victory over Woodlandvista WV, while Team Tsubasa edged the battle of the league debutants against SHCFC 2-1.

4. Fights***.This will never be tolerated at all. Teams found guilty will be deducted 2 points after a fair assessment from the referee and the two managers. D2D will not hesitate to expel teams who are frequently involved in fights and causes trouble to the league.D2D`s will not compromise the integrity and the safety of the other teams and referees alike. D2D has in the past encouraged players and referees to make a police report and will cooperate with the police to give the information and particulars of the offenders.
5. Standard of refereeing*. Referee`s are always the center of controversy either in big BPL games or even social games. Sometimes if mistakes are made teams are too quick to abuse referee`s and sometimes man-handle them. They need to be protected and D2D will protect them if such incidences occur. However teams have every right to feedback if the referee is of a sub standard quality.D2D will investigate and if too many complains are made against him/her, D2D will not hesitate to fine or ban the referee to do future league games. Please note that D2D has implemented the Referee Assessment Grading for teams, to ensure that we maintain a good standard of referees in our league and weed off those who feel are not appropriate to officiate our league games. Managers/Captains are encouraged to SMS 1,2,3,4 or 5 (1-Bad to 5-V Good) with venue and time of the game immediately after their respective matches. They are also encourage to SMS the results and cards for the game. We are not able to be at all pitches at the same time to assess the referees, the cooperation of the managers/captains will be much appreciated.
6. Match Reports. If teams are maintaining their respective team sites/blogs, appreciate if the teams could email over their match reports for us to put up also. D2D may amend the reports to suit our site after receiving them.
