StreetSoccer Move off Bottom Division II

Second Avenue
Monday Premier League
Magpies made it 11 wins, 100% record, with an 8-5 win over Gunners Watch.  
A Mark Huntley hat trick being the difference.

Because of work and injuries Caistor have reluctantly pulled out of the league.  With only 1 game left and a valuable history with the league no fines will be imposed.  It does mean some seriously capable futsal players are on the market.

Second Avenue
Tuesday Division II
Christmas came early for the improving StreetSoccer lads, 8 in a game must be a team record.  Rose & Crown managed 4 in reply.

In the unbeaten head to head ACD opened up an immediate 2-0 lead against Harvest FC.  From that point Harvest played some brilliant futsal to finish 10-2.  ACD gave 100%. As would be expected of a Karl Stratton team.

Game of the night was Grimsby Baptist Church 5 Magpies 4.  Some great futsal as each team tested the others resilience.  4-4 until the last touch of the game ended in the Maggie’s net.

Apologies to Grimsby Auditorium and CFKA.  A new caretaker switched the lights off at 9pm, not 9.30 as booked, and refused to allow teams to finish the game.  What a way to look after customers.  My feelings have been relayed to the Centre.

Second Avenue
Wednesday Division III
Young’s go top with 2-1 win over Second Ave, who themselves had stepped in to play for Lindsey Old Boy’s who cancelled at short notice.  Young’s claimed the Lindsey result.

Hemswell & Heta took each other the full distance in a close 8-7 thriller.

FC Coventry, 6 without loss, kept in touch with leaders at PB Kent’s expense.  5-2.

Daz Clark comfortably beat ACD de Saloa 7-5.  The score line flattering ACD.  Game spoiled by childish ACD behavior over who should take a turn in goal.  Come on lads your in the working world not ‘play school,’

Kent Street League
Only 2 games played.  StreetSoccer Milan lost 8-2 to Kent St resource Centre, an excellent result as Kent is seriously good at futsal.

Football Wizards 8 Nelson FC 3.  Nelson made Wizards work for their win.

Wizards & Kent St both have 1 game left to play.  Kent is top of the table over Wizards on goal difference.  Watch this space.

Friendly Matches
Grimsby All Blacks 6 young’s Seafood’s 3.
Fulstow Rovers 4 Grimsby Catalonia 2
