SPFA Matchday 5

EPC Minions hit the Badgers for six...DVD win for the first time in four...Myrulesia & Herculeum still set the pace...

The Minions pulled a rabbit from the proverbial hat earlier on today as they came from 3 goals down, to rout Badgers United by 6 goals to 3...In what was a shocking defensive display from the Badgers they completely capitulated when faced with a rejuvinated Minions attack...This result plunges the Badgers further into the mire at the foot of the table having only picked up 6 points from a possible 15...Meanwhile things are certainly thawing out for the Minions as they register not only their first points of the season, but their first goals too...And what a way to do it...The Minions head coach was quoted after the game as saying...'This is more like it...It has taken us a good few games to finally click into place and we all could not be happier that it was against our fiercest rivals...It sure does feel good to give those Badgers a slap with our flippers...'

The Badgers coach was at a loss to describe his side's drastic reversal in fortunes...'I just didn't believe what I was seeing...At one point I was all for sneaking on a couple of extra players, but my assistant talked me out of it...Personally I think that those penguins have just been extremely lucky and I can't see this being a turning point in their season...They will definately get relegated...'

Strong words from both coaches...I have the feeling that this battle of words will run and run...

Myrulesia overcame a spirited Argyle performance but in the end were just too strong and even though WB Argyle pulled a goal back, making the final quarter of an hour more competitive, they just could not find a way to break down an extremely organised defence...And that win keeps the Athletics atop the table 3 points clear of Herculeum Lightning who seem to be the only team at the moment that can live with the pace Myrulesia are setting...The Lightning took another easy home victory, this time at the hands of Kaselande Cheeseheads, taking their winning streak to 3...

A further 3 points behind sees both CR Crusty Crustaceans and DVD United who played out a tight affair with United edging it 1 goal to nil...This halted DVD's run of 3 games without a win and sees them as the only side to gain any places in the table this week...Crusty were obviously disappointed somewhat with their performance and with it loose ground on the table toppers...I have a feeling that the vat of boiling water will be simmering away in the Crustaceans dressing room!..
