Every game was cancelled due to concerns over Coronavirus. This keeps not only fans safe from spreading the virus to one another, but players safe from swapping it like a sweaty jersey.
News & Notes
Ross County faces off with Cork City…Digitally
In an effort to bring a little more football into an otherwise silent stretch, little Leyton Orient FC in England tossed out an idea: video game tournament.
In a response my brothers and I could only dream of 127 more teams signed up. Among them: Ross County FC, drawn against Ireland’s Cork City.
Late Monday afternoon, Defender Sean Kelly and Cork City FC Midfielder Daire O’Connor played the game on the streaming service Twitch. Kelly and his Staggies dominated with a bevy of balls splitting defenders and setting up dozens of shots that left O’Connor consistently wrong footed. The final score was 3-0 and probably flattering for the Irishman. With the win Kelly and County moved on to the Sweltering Sixty-Four (Draw TBD)
Legon Cities begins a purge
While the season began with a beautiful bus, boisterous fans, and big name half time performers, the Royals’ first season has been (to put it mildly) a colossal disappointment.

To that end, Ghana Web is reporting that 15 players will be dropped soon and in their place will come a variety of other stars in the league (including Kingsley Osei Effah, Empem Dacosta and Douglas Owusu Ansah of Kotoko and John Attuquaye of Berekum Chelsea)
Of course with the team ignoring medical expert recommendations to stop gathering, they may need all the replacements they can get.
Man of the Matches
There’s really only one choice, the only person in action at all, Ross County’s man at the controller: Sean Kelly! En route to a comfortable 3-0 win he never looked trouble running long balls over a harried Cork City to set up delicious cross after delicious cross so effectively that some might wonder if he was making a play for a promotion.
