Status Quo as Big Three Win

The top three in the RM Invitational all won as it was a case of as you were at the end of the day.

Hun Haters were impressive victors at home to EASTHAM FC. The game was as good as over after a twenty-minute opening burst savaged EASTHAM. Alexandr Prohazska headed home after 15 minutes and the lead was doubled a minute later with a header from Ashton Crosby. With EASTHAM all at sea Ted Caird scored from the penalty spot as a result of some manic defending. The visitors did regroup to score through Ray Hearts but you sensed it was never going to be enough to get back into the game. Further goals after the break from Caird and Don MacArthur completed the rout and kept Hun Haters on course for their first ever RM Invitational title.

Remaining a point behind the leaders are Totaalvoetbal after a 3-0 win at 23rd Professionals. In a thoroughly dominant display Totaal were indebted to the finishing of their forward Pierre van Diemen. He completed a 34-minute hat-trick as Totaal threatened to run up a cricket score. As it was there was to be no more goals after the interval as 23rd Professionals put in a more solid display. Manager Robin Meeblind was pleased with the three points, "It was important to win. While we haven't changed places we've made sure we haven't lost ground."

Completing the three sides at the top are ThunderCats F.C after a hard-fought 1-0 away at Crystal Palace. ThunderCats always created the better chances in the game and a free-kick from Leonardo Borja was enough to claim the three points. Crystal Palace's slim title hopes seem to be over as MarkieRich could only say, "Not good. Another loss." The look on his face saying everything.

Yorkshires Amateurs remain the division's form team following an easy 3-0 win over Glasgow Rangers. Julian Partridge headed home from a cross to lay the foundations for the hosts as they put in a complete performance. Murray Davis finished a breakaway move for his fourth goal of the season before a late Yogender Amarparm goal finished the scoring. Yorkshires' discipline ensured that Rangers would not have a chance in the entire game as young 'keeper Gianluigi Pelizzoli enjoyed a quiet debut.

AS Roma dominated their match with Doncaster Rovers but the lack of a finishing touch cost them. They did manage to score through reliable captain Sid Peyton but this was quickly cancelled out by Noel Mawson. Cathalio has long had his focus on the up-coming change report and there was no change after the game, "My youngsters will have some cr! Junior, Mexes and di Mure all on 17, Bennington on 16, a lot more on 15." All eyes on Roma in a few weeks then.
