Whittingham Stuns Saints

Southampton manager Hardinho was left stunned as his side performed admirably but still found themselves on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline at Belly Tubbies. "More possession, more chances, MOTR and I lose 3-1...what?" mumbled a baffled coach after watching his side come unstuck. It started well for the Saints as Aaron Winder enhanced his growing reputation with a lovely free-kick. A much improved second-half display saw Belly Tubbies roar back into the contest. They were level when Derek Hammond headed in a corner and the stage was set for Dave Whittingham to take over. Performing admirably at the back the defender went up to transform the game with two superb free-kicks. The first one after 68 minutes gave the hosts the lead and when he hammered in after 77 minutes the game was sealed. With Belly Tubbies just two points behind Southampton and The Fracture gang a further point behind the Tubbies the stage is set for an amazing final day.

The Fracture gang remained in the hunt by beating wortley afc 2-1. Emmanuel Capwell had given the visitors a great start by finishing off a free-kick move as they set about controlling the first-half. The managerless home side stormed back after the break and when Capwell went from hero to zero by putting through his own goal the scores were level. The gang continued to force chances but left it late to seal the win. Darren Houghton picked the ball up from deep before hitting a priceless winner home. There was further good news for The gang wen they appointed a new manager in Jamesmclaughlin to give them renewed optimism in their push for promotion.

White Hawk FC put in a dominant performance in brushing aside These Charming Men by a scoreline of 3-0. The hosts never looking back after taking a sixth minute lead through Clyde Nageswar. Playing with a confidence that comes with knowing you've finished head and shoulders above the rest White Hawk pushed TCM back for large periods. The did suffer a massive blow after 58 minutes when Clarence Ong A Fat suffered an injury that will keep him out until March 15th. It is hoped it won't have too much bearing on his change report figures. The win was sealed with two second-half goals, the first from Ryan Dharmsingh after a precise ball by Kouakou. Adan Donahue fired in after a corner wasn't cleared to end the misery for the visiting side.

Morley Town F.C. continued to show promise of things to come with a good showing in a 3-0 win over Charlottenburg FC. In an open contest Morley had to recover from the shock of a penalty miss after 29 minutes by Roger Farrell. All the goals came in the second-half as the game was almost all-out attack. Art Boyle headed in for the opener before Anfres Kafka scored direct from a free-kick. An injury-time shot for Kadir Bereket completed the win with Morley News reporting, "..after a shocking first half of the season Morley look like a totally different team and will hope to take their good form into next season."

Carthage were the division's other winners as they kept The Posh at the foot of the table. Hannibal Barca netted his sixth of the season with a quality header as the home side took the lead in the second-half. When Amin Mansourian scored from a set-piece move you sensed it was game over but The Posh showed a lot of spirit to force their way back into the contest. Gianmarco Siligardi netting to set-up an exciting finale. A late penalty miss by Barca didn't alter the result as Carthage held on to move into the top five.
