Recap

It seems to be a thing at the minute that a lot of teams are stalling on 5 players as they attempt to field a side, and with what already looked like a tough game on the horizon for El Caliente, they really could have done with being able to field that 6th player.

As you’d expect it didn’t take long for Malouda to take control of this one, and Daniel Barrett and Aiden Jones gave them a two goal lead in the opening 10 minutes, before two more from Wez Barker, one from Paul Lockett and another from Jones saw title hopefuls Malouda into the break with a 5 goal lead.

Having found a body to jump in and get them back to 6 for the second period, El Caliente got on the score sheet when ‘guest’ player Nicky Edwards scored 6 minutes after the restart. Any thoughts of a shock comeback lasted about three minutes though as Barrett, Jones and Barker added to the Malouda total. Jones grabbed his 4th before Edwards got Caliente’s second, and he grabbed his third just after Barker had also grabbed his 4th. Malouda finished with a flourish as Barker grabbed two more before Jones completed the scoring to give Malouda a comfortable win to keep the pressure on the leaders.
