Great start to our expanded Abingdon Thursday night season

It was fantastic to see all 24 teams take to the pitches for our new and extended Abingdon Thursday night 5 a side season. 8 new teams formed Div 2 and will be battling it out to push up the leagues to the pinnacle, the Premier League where the likes of multiple Champions Nathans Collins FC reside.

We start our results round up in the Premier League and the champions Nathan Collins got themselves off to a winning start however it wasn't easy against newly promoted Eagles United who gave them a good run for their money before going down 8-5. The early leaders are another promoted side in Exeter Gently, they got their season off to a flying with a 12-4 victory against Narcos FC. Chicken Tikka Mo Salah also hit double figures as they went into second spot with a 10-3 win over Xavi Dodgers. The other winners on the opening day were Fat Fighters who edged a tight match with Murder On Zidanes Floor 6-4.

After a mid table finish last season in Div 1 Laddington Bears went top with a win in their first match as they defeated Arselona 7-2. Another team off to a good start are Carlos Puhol who looked energised during their impressive 6-1 victory against Megs Fit. Div 1 is going to be a difficult one to call this season, the run away leaders last season have gone up now and it's hard to predict who will be the frontrunners as we progress through the coming weeks. Relegated team Mandy's Boys will hope to be in the mix and they had a end to end entertaining affair as they won 7-6 against Jewventus. The other winners were Stella Artois who defeated Borussia Teeth 4-0. 

We finish in Div 2 where all the new teams start out on their journeys. With 8 brand new teams it's always going to be hard to predict but one team that look to be strong contenders are Zubry Oxford who started with a bang as they beat Ballers FC 15-4 to go top. The other matches were much closer though, Wootton FC go second with a 6-3 win over Haalando Bloom while there was a win for Thirsty Thursdays as defeated Zircotekkas 6-3. Finally a high scoring match saw The Pie Eaters and Our Mates Tubby draw 5-5.

Thank you to all 24 teams. A great first night of the season. Thank you to our match night supervisor Warren and our refs Dean and Ian. See you all next week.
