Cruise for Celticchris

Hun Haters smashed five past Crystal Palace as they returned to the top of the table. It was a display of masterclass finishing as Hun scored from all five of their chances to leave Palace reeling. Filippo Minardi headed home the first after only two minutes for HH to set the tone. An awful challenge on 31 minutes saw Kieron Chillingworth sent-off for the away side and Iain Emery carried off for the hosts. Playing with 10-men proved beyond Palace and a brace from Finlay MacCleir before half-time all but sealed their fate. Craig Elliston and Alexandr Prohazska added salt to the wounds as Hun improved their goal difference. Palace did manage a consolation through Cornelius Orndal but they paid the price for Chillingworth's idiocy and their inferior finishing. Despite the victory Celticchris was refusing to get carried away, "We hope to be able to keep hold of the top spot until the end of the season but we know we have some hard games ahead.."

ThunderCats F.C slipped off top after a stunning AS Roma victory at Thundera Grounds. Despite only having one chance in the game Errol Beddoe produced a devastating finish to give Roma the three points. ThunderCats wasted their chances in front of goal, including a penalty, and had further cause for concern when Nelson Queimado went off injured. Reports coming out of the club suggest that he will only miss one game though, much to the relief of everyone connected with the club. Cathalio beemed broadly at reporters and exclaimed, "What a win!"

Totaalvoetbal and Yorkshires Amateurs played out a 1-1 draw to keep both sides' title chances alive. Totaal dominated the first-half of the game and took a deserved lead through Alexis Barrere. However, the visitors were a different animal after the interval and pressed the home side back. They were rewarded for their efforts with a Fred Franklin equaliser and a share of the spoils. It was a result that seemed to please both managers, "It keeps us both in it and the season is reaching a thrilling climax." said Meeblind. His counterpart added, "I'm happy with a point here, the team keep on improving."

EASTHAM FC stretched the gap between themselves and 23rd Professionals by defeating them 2-1. The teams shared goals in the opening 45 minutes, Terence Sutherland scoring the opener for the home side before Harald Roeder equalised. Joe Urpani was to be the EASTHAM hero when he shot home from a corner after 52 minutes. It was no more than the hosts deserved after a dominating performance.

Doncaster Rovers kept their recent good run going by hammering Glasgow Rangers 4-0. Goals from Walter Axford, Tony Norman and a brace from Derick Maley did the damage. Doncaster still have it all to do to escape relegation but can look forward to the new season with renewed optimism after their recent performances.
