The Casa Pia Herald
Squad17 Sep 2046
A fracture rules Ricardo Bordon out for 61 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Casa Pia will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Richard Hughes keeps Casa Pia in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.
Match15 Sep 2046
Estoril Praia punish Casa Pia for switching off
2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Denis Thomas will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Casa Pia escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Denis Thomas scores twice — 9.06
Two goals and a mark of 9.06 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.
Match15 Sep 2046
No end in sight to Casa Pia's wait for a win
4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Casa Pia has to find a result from somewhere.

Ricardo Bordon in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Casa Pia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Casa Pia training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Joyeux Masanka Bungi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Match15 Sep 2046
Casa Pia and Estoril Praia take a point apiece
It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Duarte Sousa runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
In brief
- Player ratings Jan Grosicki's mistake decides it
- Market The Richard Hughes question follows Casa Pia around
