Falling short in a Final is painful, but the journey SDS have taken this season has laid foundations for what comes next. This team has set standards, broken records, and built belief that will carry forward.

Weeks of work, preparation, and pressure led to this moment. In the final fixture before the Final Four, SDS delivered when it mattered most, securing a 4–2 victory over N5 and confirming their place among the league’s top 4 once again.

With the race for the final four intensifying, Gameweek Ten carried significant weight for SDS. Knowing that every point mattered in the chase for top four, SDS delivered when it mattered most, securing a vital 5–4 victory against M7 in a match that tested composure, belief, and resilience until the final whistle.

With the season entering a decisive phase and only a handful of fixtures remaining before the semi-finals and final, Gameweek Nine carried significant weight for SDS. Facing Clutch FC, a side with strong players, SDS knew the importance of the occasion. Unfortunately, the evening ended in a 5–2 defeat, a result that leaves the team with much to reflect on as the campaign reaches its critical point.

SDS returned to action against Yanited in a fixture with narrative and expectation. With Ginge back from the jungle following his I’m a Celebrity win, and SDS arriving on the back of a two-game losing streak, tensions were high before kick-off. Memories of Season 1’s fiery 2–2 draw, which saw red cards and a mid-game brawl, only added to the anticipation.

Gameweek 7 saw SDS face a challenging test against a well-organised Deportrio side, with the match ending in a 2–1 defeat. While the scoreline suggests a tight contest, Deportrio held the upper hand across much of the fixture, showing greater control and consistency in key areas of the pitch. Despite a late rally from SDS that kept supporters on edge until the final whistle, the team were ultimately unable to overturn Deportrio’s advantage.

Gameweek 6 brought one of the most talked-about fixtures of the season so far, as SDS faced the 26ers, the side led by former Chelsea and England captain John Terry. It was a match many expected to be tight, and it certainly lived up to the occasion. After thirteen unbeaten games stretching back to last season, SDS saw their run come to an end in a hard-fought 4–3 defeat.

Gameweek 5 presented one of the biggest fixtures of the season as SDS faced NDL FC, bringing the well-known rivalry between Sharky and Niko onto the pitch. Both brothers, both on Beta Squad, both leading their teams into what felt like a true derby occasion.

Gameweek 4 delivered exactly what the Ballers League is known for: intensity, quality, and champions rising to the occasion. SDS secured a crucial 4–2 victory over MVP United, a result that lifts them to fourth place in the league table and reignites their Season 2 title ambitions.

Gameweek 3 of Ballers League Season 2 delivered another chapter of high drama and fierce competition, as the defending champions SDS fought their way to a 3–2 victory over Rukkas FC.

The reigning Ballers League Season 1 champions, SDS, showed heart and attacking brilliance once again in a pulsating 5–5 draw against Wembley Rangers.

After a triumphant Ballers League Season 1, the reigning champions SDS stepped into Season 2 with both pride and purpose.

Friday, 25th July 2025 will be remembered as more than just another date in the SDS calendar.
