With The Replacements absent from the MKS Melbourne Shield, the number one contender is Club Maurice. They were twice denied the title of champion by The Replacements in the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010 and the Champions Cup 2010, and knocked The Replacements out in the semi-finals of the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011, which they went on to win.
Unfortunately, Club Maurice has just announced that they are withdrawing from the MKS Melbourne Shield due to unavailability of a number of players. This unfortunate event for Club Maurice blows the MKS Melbourne Shield title wide open for a new MKS Melbourne champion to emerge.

Wolves FC Reunites Pack
Wolves FC have been struggling for form ever since they joined the MKS Melbourne tournaments. In their first tournament, the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010, they only managed one victory and three draws and finish the tournament in last position on the ladder. Although their results appear to be dismal, there is a glimmer of hope and redemption. Their victory was against Undefeated (1-0), who is currently positioned in second place in the MKS Melbourne team rankings. Their draws were against Black Hawk United (2-2) and Club Maurice (0-0), two of the top teams and currently ranked in fifth and third positions respectively.
Their performance in the Champions Cup 2010 proved to be worse than the Mauritian Futsal Cup. They finished second last in their group with only one victory. Their attempt at the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011 also ended in disappointment as they failed to qualify. The team has since initiated a training regime and made a number of changes to its line-up in the hopes of improving their performance in upcoming tournaments.
With The Replacements absent from the MKS Melbourne Shield, they managed to secure the services of The Replacements captain, Jason Cheong, and The Replacements rookie, Michael Whan Kan. The team is composed of the following players:
With team captain Kim Young unavailable due to international duties, the captaincy passes to vice-captain Kenny "Cha Cha" How and veteran Edouard Whan Kan plies his experience as the new vice-captain.
Being only ranked eighth after two tournaments, Wolves FC do not have a dreams of grandeur. They are looking to take the matches one-by-one and hope for qualification.

Nioukyen FC Returns as Sowmai FC
After only participating in two MKS Melbourne tournaments, Nioukyen FC has quickly established itself as one of the "big four" in the tournaments, and have already climbed to fourth spot in the MKS Melbourne team rankings.
Their first appearance, in the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010, saw them emerge second in the qualification stages. Although they were defeated 1-0 by The Replacements and 2-0 by Black Hawk United, they defeated both Club Maurice and Undefeated 2-0. Unfortunately, when they played Club Maurice again in the semi-finals, they drew 1-1 after extra time, and lost 11-10 in a drawn out penalty shoot-out.
They returned in the Champions Cup 2010 but finished third in their group and did not qualify for the semi-finals. However, in the qualification stages, they did manage to draw The Replacements 1-1, defeated Not Quite Right 3-0, and also defeated United!!! 2-0.
Although the core of the team remains, there has been some player transfers. Thus, the team has renamed itself Sowmai FC and is composed of:
With MKS Melbourne's hiring of referees, Sowmai FC is hoping for less disputes. They state that although it is a competition, teams need to ensure that they are enjoying themselves as well.
Having gone toe-to-toe with other big teams from the MKS Melbourne tournaments, and emerging victorious, Sowmai FC is definitely a contender to emerge as the new champions.

Club Maurice Returns for Fourth Consecutive MKS Melbourne Tournament
Club Maurice has announced its participation in the MKS Melbourne Shield 2011. This will be its fourth consecutive appearance in an MKS Melbourne tournament. The announcement will surely dull the ambitions of other teams in the tournament given Club Maurice's past successes.
The Melbourne-based club first began as an outdoor soccer club when Shane Chan rallied a small group of players from Caulfield Park to compete in the Victorian Outdoor Soccer Amateur League. In short time, great teamwork developed between the players and the team grew as a whole. Club Maurice players have always respected their team mate's efforts and, most importantly, respected their opponents.
At the very first MKS Melbourne tournament, the Champions Cup Winter 2009, Club Maurice's Kenny Lam plied his skill and experience as The Replacements' goal-keeper. With Kenny Lam between the posts, The Replacements only conceded 9 goals in the entire tournament and emerged as undefeated champions.
In the subsequent tournament, Kenny Lam left The Replacements to bring in his outdoor team mates to form Club Maurice Underdogs. The team showed great potential, but fortunately finished third in their group and did manage to qualify. However, Club Maurice Underdogs did manage to draw against Hockey Pitch FC, who made stellar progress and were eventually defeated by The Replacements in the finals.
Having gained experience in MKS Melbourne tournaments, the team returned as Club Maurice to participate in the inaugural Mauritian Futsal Cup. Not only did the team shed the word "underdog" from their name, they also shed their underdog status and progressed to the finals. On their way to the finals, Club Maurice defeated The Replacements 1-0 in the qualification round.
As fate would have it, Club Maurice faced The Replacements again in the finals. However, Club Maurice were unable to defeat The Replacements in the finals and narrowly lost 2-1.
Club Maurice then participated in the Champions Cup 2010. This time, their emerged at the top of their group in the qualifying round and once more, they made their way to the finals. However, they were once again narrowly defeated 2-1 by The Replacements.
Having suffered defeated twice at the hands of The Replacements in a finals match, Club Maurice's fortune turned in the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011. They defeated The Replacements in their semi-finals match and went on win the tournament.
Having proved themselves as one of the "big four" teams in the MKS Melbourne tournaments, Club Maurice is coming to the MKS Melbourne Shield with some changes in its line-up. With Kenny Lam and Teddy Choon unavailable, their line-up is as follows:
Their aim is to make it as far as possible in the tournament. With such accolades as the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011 champions, twice runners-up in MKS Melbourne tournaments, and Melbourne Uni FNL Champions 2009-2010, emerging as the first champions of the MKS Melbourne Shield is definitely not an unattainable goal for Club Maurice.

Dodos: Pression FC Reformed and Ready for MKS Melbourne Shield
After not competing in the Champions Cup 2010, this is Pression FC's return to the MKS Melbourne tournaments. Their last participation was in the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010, in which they placed 7th with 9 points. It seems that the team is shedding its former name, Pression FC, and is being reformed under the name Dodos.
The reform was initiated with the signing of the influential ex-Replacements player, Nicholas Sin, who is now captaining the team. The team line up is as follows:
Nicholas Sin, Oliver Lam, and Jerome Cloridor are experienced players and have gelled well player together since their high school days at St Joseph's College. There are also deeper bonds between team members. Gerald Cheng, Oliver Lam, Jerome Cloridor, David Chung and Jason Leung all attended to the same university while Nicholas Sin, Oliver Lam, and Marc Chung have know each other since primary school. Simon, who captains Clowns FC in the Albert Park league, is a newcomer to futsal, but with team mates such as these, he'll have all the required experience at his disposal.
Dodos captain, Nicholas Sin believes the team has a lot of potential, enough potential to even win the tournament. Their first competitive performance was in the RMIT Soccer Challenge 2011, in which they were runners-up in the qualifying stages. In their group, they faced Wolves FC, and were defeated only by The Replacements. With The Replacements unavailable for the MKS Melbourne Shield, the Dodos could be the first MKS Melbourne Shield Champions.

New Team Fesse Plate United Makes Attempt at MKS Melbourne Shield
At the upcoming MKS Melbourne Shield, Fesse Plate United will be making its first attempted at an MKS Melbourne tournament. Although the team is new, its captain, Hughes Wong Lit Wan, is not. Hughes Wong was the former captain of Pression FC. Breaking away from his former team, Hughes Wong has formed the new outfit, which is mainly composed of Rodriguans. The team line up is as follows:
Fesse Plate United is being tight-lipped and there is an aurora of mystery around them. Being a newly formed team, they do not have any achievements to date, however, after the tournament, they may well be walking away with the MKS Melbourne Shield
- Hughes Wong Lit Wan (captain)
- John Kwet-On (vice-captain)
- Jimmy Yong Yan Yin
- Neil Boncoeur
- Jason Wong So
- Evans Wong So

Strengthened Milli Takim Side Returns for Second MKS Melbourne Tournament Outting
After their initial foray into Champions Cup 2010 tournament, Milli Takim has returned for their second MKS Melbourne tournament, the MKS Melbourne Shield tournament. Milli Takim performed admirably on their first outing. Although they failed to qualify for the semi-finals, they finished fourth in their groups, sharing 9 points with Nioukyen FC but losing out on goal difference (-2 against Nioukyen FC's 4). Furthermore, from only their first tournament, Milli Takim entered MKS Melbourne's team rankings at the tenth position with 1,875 points.
Milli Takim has gone a massive overhaul since the last tournament. The new line is as follows:
Dimitri Gigmenez and Simon Guyom have fantastic shots, whilst Gustavo Florence and Daniel Lonigro have great ball control. Chris Aldunate and Ozgur Acisu are very experienced goal-keepers and defenders.
After an early exit last tournament, Milli Takim will not be settling for anything less than a finals position. The team is now well-practiced and more than ready to make amends for their disappointing exit last tournament.
Milli Takim was particularly looking forward to playing against The Replacements who defeated them 3-0 in their last encounter. However, as they will have to wait for the next tournament as The Replacements are not fielding a team in the MKS Melbourne Shield tournament. Amidst rumours of Wolves FC securing the services of some players from The Replacements, Ozgur Acisu is looking forward to playing against them as it would mean that two of his close friends are in the team.
Milli Takim is looking forward to the MKS Melbourne Shield, having thoroughly enjoyed the last tournament. As they are not a Mauritian-based team, captain Ozgur Acisu says that they are very honoured to be able to take part in the tournament and passes on his tanks to MKS Melbourne. However, Milli Takim do hope that some questionable behaviour that were exhibited towards them at the last tournament from certain teams because they are not a Mauritian-based team will not be repeated. That was a huge disappointment to what Milli Takim otherwise considered a fantastic tournament. Putting the negativity aside, Ozgur Acisu says that his team is eagerly looking forward to the MKS Melbourne Shield.
Milli Takim has thus far won 4 League 1 titles at 3 different venues and have been runners-up on 2 separate occasions. Between them, Dimitri Gigimenez and Simon Guyom have won 4 MVP awards and 2 golden boots. Although only their second attempt at an MKS Melbourne tournament, Milli Takim is definitely not a team to be underestimated. Given their long list of achievements, it seems the only missing award is the MKS Melbourne Shield!

The Replacements Not Competing in MKS Melbourne Shield
The Replacements, the most successful MKS Melbourne team to date, has announced that they will not be competing in MKS Melbourne's new shield tournament due to a large number of players being unavailable.
The Replacements have won all the MKS Melbourne tournaments and are currently positioned at the top of MKS Melbourne's team rankings with 13,384 points. Undefeated FC trail them with only 8,385 points and Club Maurice is hot on their heels with 8,362 points.
The Replacements' unavailability will be disappointing for top teams who were surely looking to pit their skills against them in competition. However, on the other hand, it may be received as welcomed news as it leaves the new tournament wide open for a new champion. Their unavailability guarantees that a new team will be crowned the first MKS Melbourne Shield champion.
Likely suspects will surely be the top teams following The Replacements on the ladder: Undefeated FC, Club Maurice, Nioukyen FC, and Dark Hawk United. Based on past performance, Club Maurice looks well poised to emerge as champions since they made it to the finals of the last two tournaments only to be defeated by The Replacements. Dark Hawk United were also defeated in the last two by The Replacements in the quarter finals. Undefeated FC will be doubly motivated as Club Maurice is edging closer to overtaking them on the rankings ladder being only 23 points behind them. Nioukyen FC failed to qualify for the quarter finals in the Champions Cup 2010, but they are not to be ignored as they have proven themselves to be strong competitors in the past; they were quarter finalists in the Mauritian Futsal Cup 2010.

Inaugural MKS Melbourne Shield Tournament and Official MKS Melbourne Website Announced!
After eight quiet months, MKS Melbourne has announced a new tournament: the MKS Melbourne Shield, and their new website. Although the dust has settled on the last tournament, the Champions Cup 2010 tournament, MKS Melbourne are taking into consideration feedback and are making a number of changes to the new tournament.
The most prominent change is that MKS Melbourne will now be hiring professional referees to officiate matches. This is in contrast to past practices in which teams provided referees. The old practice resulted in inconsistent applications of the law of the game.
