Its been a lively an interesting beginning for the only Division 1 club from the Philippines. The club has played fine football, defeating some best clubs in Asia as well as some of the best in world. The club continues on its steady path of growth and hopes to be a true Division 1 title contender within 3 seasons.

The fact remains though it has been very difficult to establish goals and an identity to a club on a small Island in a country ranked number 159 by FIFA. However after months of deliberation, the management ha put clear focus on the club's goals and identity:

Starting in season 5 the club will be known as the Bohol Raiders. The club will continue to be devoted to the unwanted International talent being put on waivers throughout the world. It is here in Bohol in a quiet setting far away from all the noise, the serious training of a world class team will commence. As with the original Raider team from Oakland California, "Pride and Excellence" will be the motto that defines the club.

Finally, it is unfortunate that the Philippines may never have a national team. It is the hope of the Bohol Raiders that they will be able to have a world class club team to keep the Philippines on the world map of football.

Sincerely,

Steelhawk
GM Bohol Raiders
