A cup win against MM's reserves, a hard-fought draw against league contenders DB, and another hard-fought victory against LBC.
A good week in terms of results, which leaves the team feeling confident for what's to come.
ORA will face their historic rival OPT in both cups, and no one at Orgy Park wants to think about a double elimination.
With just a three-point lead over DB in the standings, Colin's team can't afford to let the league slide. But they have more than enough quality to turn Orgullo's season into a disappointment.
After the first cup clash, ORA will have to keep their morale up (and defend their third place) by visiting ACS with a very deep roster; and then host a YFC team fighting to avoid relegation and retain their chances of winning the cup at the same time.
Another week on, and the outlook at Orgy Park is the same.
Fortunately, because it can only get worse. With the league title already lost, staying alive in both cups is the goal.
Added to this is the squad overhaul.
Rejuvenating the forward line and the goalkeeping are two things the board is looking for in the market, while maintaining a guaranteed starting XI to avoid losing their chances of winning a trophy this season.
Last week, the cup win against GCK allowed them to continue dreaming, while the league victory against LD allowed them to climb to third place (the league goal).
On the other hand, the draw against DUB showed that the team continues to struggle against the strongest teams in the division, whom they will have to face in the cup if they continue to advance.
This week, the cup pits ORA against MM, who are deep in the fight for promotion. It seems unlikely he'll risk his stars with injury, but Sergei won't play with that in mind, and he's expected to field all his starters.
Then comes a tough home match against DB and a visit to LBC. Two formalities before the next cup match, but Orgullo doesn't want to give up either so as not to damage the team's morale.
