The
Grimsby Futsal League saw one of the best games on Tuesday 23rd June
as Young’s who are at present top of the Monday League travelled to Kent Street
to play top of the Tuesday Kent Street League "Kent Street".
Young’s have traditionally not played well on Kent Street due to its size but
this game was the exception. Kent Street took an early lead with some good
play, Young’s equalised shortly after which sparked a good spell adding two
more to the tally. Kent Street responded well pegging the score back level to
3-3. Young’s then added a fourth, which saw something that is very rare in
Futsal Kent Street levelled straight from the kick off with a beautiful finish
into the top corner. Young’s then did one better going ahead from their own
kick off with Jon-jo finding the bottom corner. So in the space of about 3
minutes we saw 3 goals. With the score at 5-4 to Young’s, Kent Street then
upped the tempo adding two more to take the lead 6-5. Young’s also responded
well and equalised with some good passing. At the score 6-6 it looked like both
teams had run out of steam but yet again Kent Street raised their game and took
the lead with about 5 minutes of the game remaining. Young’s somehow found some
energy and found an equaliser in the games dying moments to take the tie to
penalties.
As always penos are always a gamble, Young’s duly dispatched all theirs with
Kent Street having one saved by keeper Dale Spalding and hitting the crossbar
on another. Congratulation goes to Young’s for a very hard fought victory and
commiserations to a very adept Kent Street side. Worth mentioning, is the
superb performance from Young’s player Jon-Jo scoring 5 of Young’s 7 goals. RP
Fulstow &
Littlefields serve up a Grimsby Futsal Cup classic. For 30 minutes
Fulstow controlled the game by controlling the ball and thus limiting Litts’
chances. Score at this point 2-0 Fulstow. That said Matt Payne had hit post
with 2 great shots and great defensive covering had denied Litts even 1 goal.
The game then
changed Litts’ took their chances and 2-2 – the game was back on. From
this point Littlefields took control to win 5-4, an unlikely result at half
time.
One of the best
ever games I have watched at Second Avenue. KB
BBS 6 Grimsby
Catalonia 1, with a Mr Reg Jackson from the LFA watching it was pleasing that
both teams showed how futsal should be played. KB
BBS Couriers
dominated the game with BBS’s Danny Durrosimo and Danny O’ Hare the
show; Gy Cats welcomed back Shaun Gladwell who suffered a double leg break back
in Jan 08 who played outstanding hitting the post with a free kick, Jason
Chisnall with the consolation goal. DG
With chiefs
getting a bye in the futsal cup they were given a life line to play Gy All
Blacks, The difference was simple, Gy All Blacks ‘Yam’ Quick feet &
clinical finishing. DG
Grimsby
Auditorium 4 Willows Valliant 4
Willows seemed to
be in control as they went 4-2 up at half time, Auditorium pulled it back to
4-4 with less than a minute to go, (Skoda’ Valiant & Shane’ Audi both
outstanding) Straight to penalty’s then, Both keepers made good saves but in
the end Auditorium prevailed. DG
GRS get first
league win. Grimsby Saxons fall guys. Last minute winner in a 9-8
thriller that neither team deserved to lose. Some ‘real’ futsal amongst
the 17 scored! KB
El Dogoes 5
Newton Heath 4. With minutes to go Newton was looking for a consolation goal,
what an end to what had been a Dogoes stroll. Newton never worked out how
to play against a ‘flyer’ GK; a tactic several teams are now using. All 4
games on the night were separated by a 1 goal margin! KB
