SPFA Matchday 7

Myrulesia & Herculeum continue to set the pace at the top...Badgers & Crustaceans play out 10 goal thriller...Argyle record second straight win and move up to third...

The Cheeseheads were always going to find life tough as they visited the run away league leaders Myrulesia Athletics...The game started well and following a poetic 22 pass movement involving all team members, Myrulesia walked the ball into the net and led one nil at the interval...The second half should have seen the flood gates open but Kaselande were resilient and were gifted the chance for an equaliser, which they took, as their centre forward was bundled unceremoniously to the floor in the penalty area...The Cheeseheads bravely tried to hold onto what would have been a hard earned point but the Athletics were just too strong and with 20 minutes remaining made sure that there winning streak continued for a sixth straight week...A result that sees Kaselande Cheeseheads drop to second from bottom in the table...

Arguably the most entertaining game was between Badgers United and Crusty Crustaceans, who shared 10 goals equally between them...Both teams took the lead in a topsy turvy first period with defensive frailties being all too well exposed on both sides...With United just shading the game before the break with a 3 v 2 advantage the coach tried to sure things up at the back by resorting to adding another defender, but this soon backfired as confusion continued to reign in the Badgers backline and CR were soon back level for the third time in the game...A penalty apiece saw the score reach four all and with just minutes remaining that appeared to be the most likely outcome, but from a corner the Badgers took the lead yet again and were almost assured of the valuable three points when yet another lapse of concerntration allowed CR's talented midfielder to break free, round the keeper and slot home for a well earned point...In the end a draw being not much good for either side as they are finding themselves further and further off the pace at the top...Both far too close to the bottom of the table for their liking...

WB Argyle were the 6th team to beat the EPC Minions...The light at the end of the tunnel is close to being completely extinguished for the Minions as they yet again failed to score and were beaten more easily than the score finally reflected...The only goal coming as a result of a expertly despatched free kick from 25 yards, which beat the keeper easily, nestling in the bottom left hand corner of the net...Argyle meanwhile are proving to be the best of the rest as this win moves them up into 3rd position equalling their best league placing of the season...In a post match interview their head coach commented...'We really have the momentum now to kick on in the second half of the season...We have to catch Herculeum Lighting and if we can do that then who knows Myrulesia are not that far in front...We are in good form and just have to score a few more goals...'

DVD United continued their patchy performances with another unispiring loss, this time to Herculeum, who take their winning streak to 5 games and keep the gap between themselves and Myrulesia at just the 3 points...DVD look set for mid table mediocrity and unless they can put together a decent run of games may get embroiled in the fight at the foot of the table...
