Last 32 Cup update:
Grimsby Globetrotters (Kent St Tuesday) took tournaments first major scalp, beating Premier League table toppers Grimsby All Blacks 6-4. A result that the bookies would not have opened the book on, well done Globetrotters.
In fairness to All Blacks 2 key players were called out to work on way to venue and goal keeper Leigh Graves was on holiday to compound problems.
Grimsby Auditorium’s 7-5 win over College 2001 was less surprising in that both teams can flit in and out of form, never less it was a Tuesday League scalp of another Premier League team.
Grimsby Jets and fellow newcomers Futsal Warriors fought out a tight 3-2 encounter that just edged Jets Way.
Shamrock experience was too much for Le Osterals who kept the score to a credible 8-2 over vastly more experienced opponents.
