Two teams who will probably be frustrated by recent results went head to head with promotion chances dwindling. 2 Goals started the season really well, but were now on a losing streak, while a recent improvement on performances from LQ ended with a defeat to INter Row Z last week.

After Khaled Ukash gave LQ the lead on two minutes, the rest of the first half mainly belonged to 2 Goals. Lewis Bush drew them level on 7 minutes, and despite Daniel Atherden restoring the LQ lead on 11, further goals from Bush on 14, 19 and 22, as well as a Gabe Stamp strike on 17, saw 2 Goals into the break with a 5-2 lead.

That became 6-2 three minutes after the break as Stamp got his second and it looked like game over as we headed into the final 15 minutes. Matthew Brierley pulled one back for LQ, and when Alex Brash scored another for them with 11 minutes remaining there was two goals in it going into the final stages. Brierley and Sam Holland got two in a minute and out of nowhere LQ were level, but only for a minute before Bush scored his 5th of the game to restore the 2 Goals lead with 7 left to play. In a frantic final 5 minutes there were 4 more goals, all to LQ as goals from Holland, Ukash and two from Atherden gave them an unlikely comeback win. 2 Goals will wonder what happened in those final 15, but they now slip to second from bottom.

There might not have been many games on this week, but the ones that were were worth watching, including this one between two previously unbeaten teams. After an opening night draw, Inter Row Z had gone on a winning spree, but faced an Only Kruls team who’d won all of their games since joining.

Only Kruls got off to a fast start, with goals from James Thornley and Seb Etchells putting them two up in the first 4 minutes. Kyle Clarke pulled one back for Inter half way through the period, but two more goals from Luke Farrow eased Kruls into a 4-1 lead. Clarke’s second of the game three minutes from the break meant it was a two goal game at the interval.

Clarke grabbed his third three minutes after the break to set this one up for an interesting second period, but three goals in 4 minutes from Thornley, Brad Gilman and Farrow looked to have killed this one off with 17 minutes to spare. Callum and Ray Donnelly pulled two back for Inter to reduce their lead to two with 6 minutes remaining, but Kruls saw the game out to make it 5 straight wins as they head towards the Championship title.
