ONE TO GO IN THE STOURBRIDGE MONDAY LEAGUE!
After the heartache of the Euros a great evening of football for all that attended in this week’s 6- a side Monday Leisure Leagues at Stourbridge Rugby Club. Some well contested games in with some more high scoring games throughout the divisions and excellent team performances overall.
It was very disappointing that a number of teams were unable to fulfil their fixtures but they have all confirmed there return this week and all ready for the last games of the season. It is paramount that all teams are present for each and every fixture and if not try their hardest to contact the area manager in a sufficient amount of time in order for the league to run smoothly and effectively each week.
Premier Division-
The first game on the premier division pitch came between ‘Chip Butty FC’ against ‘Call The Cops’ with ‘Chip Butty’ playing very well to defeat their opponents and an MVP performance from Dan Pritchard.
The second game on the Premier division pitch was between ‘West Midlands F.C.’ and ‘Inter Mi’Bathams’ which resulted with a dominant display from ‘Inter Mi’Bathams’ and a 5:0 win with yet another MVP performance from Matt Preston which included a hattrick, he climbs up the player of the season table and is pushing for top spot. This is not to say that ‘West Midlands FC’ did not give their all which is always shown.
The third game was a 16-goal thriller between ‘Wolves Ay We’ and ‘Umps XI’ with the final score being 11-5 and both teams putting in great goal scoring performances especially from ‘Wolves Ay We’ with 2 of their players scoring hattricks (Liam Hurley and Aaron Bishop). This keeps ‘Wolves Ay We’ 2 points ahead of ‘Inter Mi’Bathams’ and with a positive goal difference of 51.
Division 1-
The night started with a great game between ‘Borussia Teeth’ and ‘We Don’t Give A Flying Duck FC’ both playing very well and with ‘Borussia Teeth’ showing their quality and coming away with the win in the end.
The second game was highly competitive and close scoring with ‘This Is Plough We do it’ edging a 2:1 win over ‘BBF United’ however this was a very closely contested fixture and good team performances from both sides. It was ‘This is Plough We Do It’ who sealed the win with goals from Carl Butcher.
The final game of the night came at 8:30pm with another closely contested fixture with ‘Stella FC’ gaining a 3-1 win over ‘Paris Ganja Man’ which was also a great game for both sides and the MVP coming through Jordan Owen. This result means the promotion spots go to the final day of the season and we can’t wait to see who comes out on top.
Division 2-
Division 2 was a full action-packed league with some extremely close games.
The first kick-off came with a 4:1 win for ‘Call the Cops FC’ over ‘Leave My Arselona’ however the score line does not fairly present the close game it was with both teams playing very well. This also came with an MVP performance for Josh White who scored 2 goals.
The second game was a big 8:0 win for ‘SH Dons’ over ‘Pique Blinders’ and a great team performance with highlights from Harry Lewis scoring 4 goals and progressing further in top spot on the MVP list.
The next game then came from a another closely contested game between ‘SYD FC’ who came out 3:1 winners over ‘Expected Toulouse FC’ with both teams dominating different parts of the game. It was ‘SYD FC’ that edged it with important goals from Steve Groome. This result also confirms promotion to Division One so congratulations to them.
The final game from Division 2 came with another extremely game between ‘Bayern Neverlosen’ VS ‘Cott Lane colts’ in a game that either sides could have easily won. However, the final result was an extremely entertaining draw.
Division 3-
The first game from division 3 came with a game between ‘Redz On Stedz’ against ‘Football Club FC’ which ‘Football Club FC’ came out 5:3 winners in yet another evenly challenged game and shows the quality being shown throughout the divisions.
In the next game ‘Oaks Ay We’ moved to within two points of the league leaders after a brilliant display against ‘Umps XI’. This leaves a crunch match against ‘Football Club FC’ next week to see who will be promoted to Division Two for the new season, good luck both teams.
The final game was another 10-goal thriller with ‘Park tavern FC’ coming from 5-2 down to draw 5-5 against ‘Schoolboy Error’ with a tough contest being shown and great sportsmanship between both teams.
The highlights:
Game of the Night- The game of the evening came between ‘Park Tavern FC’ and ‘Schoolboy Error’ where a hattrick came from Harry Edwards to earn the creditable draw from 5-2 for ‘Park Tavern FC ‘. It was also a fantastic performance from Liam from ‘Schoolboy Error’ who also got his hattrick in the game. This shows the fantastic quality being displayed throughout all leagues.
Team of the Week- ‘Call The Cops FC’ are our team of the week. Always playing with a smile on their faces and playing the game in the right attitude they were able to come out 4-1 winners against ‘Leave My Arselona’. If they win and ‘Cott Lane Colts’ lose they will take third spot next week however they face ‘Expected Toulouse F.C’ who need to win to have a chance of staying in Division Two for next season, who will come out on top?
We look forward to seeing you next week on the 19th July!
