Consistency is the key to everything we try and do, so with that in mind the fact that this is second straight week of us doing our weekly round up is a good start!
LEAGUE NEWS
The new Monday 6-a-side league kicks off NEXT WEEK! And while we’ve got a couple of teams scrambling around to get the numbers together, we do still have one space available for the first team to get in and take it.
We are also heading into the final few weeks of the Sunday league season, and as always, given our relative lack of limitations on pitch space, we will be looking to have a little dabble at getting ourselves up to 5 divisions! We are likely to have a couple of spaces to fill to keep it at 4 to start with, but for more information on this, or the Monday league, get in touch.
SUNDAY LEAGUE
Two close games were played in the Premiership on Sunday, with one of them absolutely vital in deciding the destiny of the title for another season. As has become the norm, the title was going to go to either Insole or Kinky Slipper, and in an incredibly tight game, Kinky took a massive step towards reclaiming the title they won two seasons ago with a 1-0 win. The other game was more about Premiership survival, and it was El Caliente who took the step towards ensuring another season at the top table with a narrow 5-4 win over Step Brothers, who showed significant improvement after last week’s hammering.
Kipsta got back to winning ways in the Championship as they maintain their status as favourites for promotion, but they had to work hard for a 7-6 win over Exeter Gently. We’re facing a dilemma if El Caliente B keep winning, as we really can’t have the A and B team in the same division. They avenged their opening day defeat to Dench, who are now without a win in 4 games after a good start, beating them 9-5. Team Tom have kicked into life in the last few weeks, and also got revenge for an opening day defeat as they beat The Veterans 5-4.
Under Rated look well on their way to promotion, and possibly a perfect season, after a comfortable 8-0 win over inter Your Sister. Duno remain in pole position for the second promotion spot, but have eyes on potentially going higher after settling on a strong squad in recent weeks, with that squad hammering Wellspring FC 15-2 this week. After a poor start, Deportivo Lack Of Talent are now up to third after a surprise 5-4 win over FC AOTS, but they aren’t likely to have the time to make a significant promotion push.
It was a bad week for Pathetico Madrid, who played, and lost, two games. They were beaten 11-6 by leaders The McMuffin Men, who became yet another team this week to avenge a defeat from earlier in the season, and then beaten 10-6 by SK Dons, who’ve become the surprise package of the League Two season. The Dons had fought back from 2-0 down to take a point from their first game with Stockport Eagles, and they now sit second in the table.
The new Sunday season starts on 19th November, for more details get in touch.
MONDAY LEAGUE
The final night of the Monday league season saw the Premiership title still up for grabs. AC Milmanchester went into the night as favourites as they had two chances to claim the crown. The first one was against Old Reddish FC, who were the only team who could deny them the title with a big win in the first game, then hope that Milmanchester couldn’t turn the goal difference advantage around in their second game with Strikeforce. The first game was tense, but Reddish always had the edge on the scoreboard and ended up taking the win that they needed 9-5. For periods of Milmanchester’s second game it looked like they might have been on the brink of blowing it, but they ended up claiming the title after pulling away in the second half of their game with Strikeforce, winning the match 12-6.
Jeremy Cheadle had already claimed the Championship title, but weren’t here for their guard of honour this week, but second place was still up for grabs and it was Phantom Brazilians who claimed it with a 4-0 win over Not A Chance. The Chancers fluffed their lines on the final night, as they also had two chances to secure runners up spot, but could only draw 2-2 with bottom placed Pathetico Madrid in their other game.
The new Monday season starts on 16th October, one space available for new teams!
TUESDAY LEAGUE
A potentially significant in the Tuesday Premiership as Insole made it two wins from two, inflicting a second straight defeat on J Stands Barmy Army that allowed Mirror Signal Malouda to go 6 points clear at the top of the table after a comfortable 8-3 win over El Caliente. J Stands do still have a game in hand on the leaders, and Cheadle FC joined the Barmy Army on 9 points with two games in hand on Malouda after they beat Oooze FC 11-6.
Only Kruls & Horses stay top of the Championship after an 18-0 routing of FC Poor Toe, but fellow new boys Inter Row Z are just two points behind them after they picked up a hard fought 5-2 win over LQ FC. Wellspring quite surprisingly remain in contention for a promotion spot after inflicting a third straight defeat on previous leaders 2 Goals 1 Schlupp, who’ve dropped 4 points off the promotion pace.
The new Tuesday league starts on 21st November. Currently no spaces, but get in touch to get your team on standby.
WEDNESDAY LEAGUE
Another week of tight games in the highly competitive Wednesday league, with two games settled by the odd goal, and the other one being tight until a late flurry of goals. Magpie regained top spot after they scored late goals to pick up a 12-8 win over Exeter Gently, the first time in three weeks that a game has been decided by more than one goal! Both other games finished 4-3, as Polish Army surrender top spot after losing to Ruud van Ni-Ste-Llloyd (who’ve yet to field Ste Lloyd since they started up) as the new team make it two wins from two. Stockport Eagles are off the mark for the season, and they joined Shaka on three points after a late turnaround saw through to a 4-3 win.
