Second Avenue
Monday Premier League
Fulstow Rovers started as the ‘betting mans’ outsider to challenge the Magpies supremacy. Second bottom with 2 wins in 9 is bizarre form for such a capable team. Nathan Usher’s two goals was the difference as Grimsby Catalonia beat them 4-2.
Gunners watch need to be winning the close games to move upwards. Young’s edged them 5-4 with Michael West being the difference.
College 2001 got back on track, hammering the out of form Caistor. Danny Webber (3 goals) and keeper ‘Cookie’ had strong games for College. They need Magpies to slip up if they are to make Sheffield and the 2007 FA National Finals.

ACD nearly had their first loss but managed to come from 2-1 to 3-2 up within 5 minutes left on the clock. ACD with 7 wins out of 7 played will not be happy with the Harvest FC attention. A great game in store when the teams meet. Game of the night by far
