Monday Premier League
Cracking start to a new league.  
Gunners Watch comfortably beat Young’s Seafood’s. Young’s were below full strength and this hampered their ability to compete.  Gunners Bobby Lewsham had a major influence on the game.   7-2

Eagles made Fulstow Rovers fight every inch of the way for their last gasp victory, an Eagles goalkeeping blunder after an otherwise brilliant performance. Eagles had previously finished 3rd in the Kent St. League   6-5

Paul Goodhand made his first appearance for Grimsby Catalonia and was the difference in another game that went down to the wire.  All Blacks will not lose many games.   6-5

Magpies keeper ‘Dale’ pulled off a stunning last kick save to maintain Magpies 30+ games without defeat record.  Who holds the record?  Opponents College 2001.  The game was the last game of the FA Futsal Cup Qualifying League from which Magpies qualified with an otherwise 100% record.   4-4
