TWO NEW TEAMS IN THE STOURBRIDGE MONDAY LEAGUE
The Stourbridge Monday League season at Stourbridge Rugby Club kicked off with exciting fixtures throughout the whole evening providing good entertainment for all those who attended.
Unfortunately 'Neville', 'We Don't Give A Flying Duck FC' and 'Bridgnorth Town FC' were unable to fulfil their fixtures this week. Two of the teams will be contacted in regards to their return this week and unfortunately 'Neville' have had to be removed as commitment for the new season is not there. It is paramount all teams are there playing a game each and every week in order for the league to run as smoothly as possible each and every week.
Premier League-
The first game was a close clash between ‘Wolves Ay We’ and ‘Big Stiff Idiots’ and it was ‘Wolves Ay We’ who came out on top in a narrow 3-2 victory. The two teams went head to head until the end however it was two Aaron's who secured the victory for ‘Wolves Ay We'. The next game on the Premier League pitch was also a thriller where ‘Inter Mi’Bathams' took on a strong ‘Crep City FC’, this game also went right down to the wire and eventually ‘Inter Mi’Bathams’ came out 4-3 winners with a big hattrick from MVP Matt Preston and then topped off by a Thomas Jennings goal to beat ‘Crep City FC’. This gives 'Inter Mi’Bathams' a strong start to the new season. The third game of the evening in the Premier Division followed suit with another close game between ‘Stella FC’ and ‘Wall Heath FC. This game concluded in a 3-2 victory for ‘Stella FC’ with an excellent team victory from all players, will ‘Stella FC’ continue the rest of the season as they started? The final game on the Premier Division pitch also saw a good performance for ‘Chip Butty FC’ in a game against 'Oaks Ay We' gaining the 5-0 win for the league meaning they are top after week one.
Division 1-
Division 1 began with an exciting game between ‘West Midlands FC’ against ‘BBF United’. This game began with an early lead from ‘BBF United’ which continued throughout the game however a ‘West Midlands FC’ comeback to make the score 3-4 almost saw a brilliant comeback however ‘BBF United’ hung on to secure the win. With all round great showings from the teams players. This was followed by an MVP performance from Jess Smith. The second game in Division 1 was where ‘Gary Neville Is A Legend’ got the 5-0 win but had a great showing against 'Agent Pena'.

Division 2-
In division 2 we welcomed new team ‘Agent Pena’ who showed what they joined for in their 1-0 win over ‘Bayern Neverlosen’. We look forward to seeing how this team will fair this season. The next game in a goal scoring thriller which launched ‘Cott Lane Colts’ to the top of the league with a 9-1 smashing over ‘Waggon Wanderers’ in their debut game we look forward to see if ‘Waggon Wanderers’ can bounce back from this. This significant win was led by Miles Bloomer’s MVP performance and hattrick to boot. The third game in the league ended in a 4-0 convincing win for ‘Oaks Ay We’ over ‘Expected Toulouse F.C.’ there was also a classy performance from Kian Lloyd who scored a hattrick and was given MVP. The final game from Division 2 was another convincing win in division 2 and for ‘Call The Cops FC’ in the fashion of a 7-0 beating over ‘This is Plough We Do It’ and another hattrick in the division for Josh White. This pushes them just behind ‘Cott Lane Colts’ which could lead to an interesting game when the two teams meet.

Division 3 began with a close game between ‘Paris Ganja Man’ vs ‘Park Tavern FC’ in which ‘Park Tavern FC’ came out 2-0 winners in a closely contested game which either team could’ve won. The second game was a well-played game from both teams, however it was ‘Umps XI’ who came out on top over ‘She Was Only XI’ with a convincing 5-2 win which pushes ‘Umps XI’ to second in the league. The third game was another high scoring game of the evening which saw ‘Schoolboy Error’ gain a creditable 7-0 win over ‘Football club FC’ which rocketed them to the top of Division 3. The final game of the evening was also just as entertaining with ‘Pique Blinders’ edging over ‘Lengman Ridahs’ with a 3-2 victory to start off the new league in good stead.
