Recap

The ‘title favourites’ J Stands Barmy Army looked to take another step towards their ultimate goal against the always competitive, usually unpredictable Oooze FC.

They got off to the best possible start as Nicky Edwards and Jay Willingham put them two up inside the opening 5 minutes, and despite Kieran Meehan pulling one back for Oooze on 10 minutes, the league leaders quickly regained control as Willingham scored three more in a 6 minute spell soon after. Phil Parker pulled one back for Oooze and the stroke of half time to keep J Stands honest going into the second period.

It was Parker again who narrowed the gap back down to two goals two minutes after the restart, but this was the start of a glut of goals in the next 10 minutes as Reece Nuttall quickly grabbed another for the Barmy Army. Adam Corr made it 6-4 with 20 minutes remaining, but again J Stands hit back within a minute as Willingham grabbed his 5th of the evening. Parker completed his hat trick to make it 7-5, but three goals in the next three minutes from Willingham, Nuttall and Edwards eased the Army into a 5 goal lead heading into the final quarter of an hour. Nuttall and Liam Ellis added to the J Stands total before Tom Galbraith completed the scoring by grabbing Oooze’s 6th of the game, but it doesn’t stop J Stands from keeping a firm hold of their 100% record for the season.
