LA goes 2-1 in Chinese city league

In round one of the Chinese city league Saturday morning in Liuzhou, Los Angeles defeated the team from Jingdezhen. This was a major victory since the opponents were last year’s city league runner-up. In Saturday night's round two, L.A. lost by five points to last year‘s city league champion, Nanjing. Sunday morning in round three, L.A. was again victorious, this time over the city of Tianjin.

Los Angeles will play four more games at the end of August, and if they are able to win at least two of them, they will proceed to the finals.
