Curtis Clarke fired in an early contender for goal of the season with a sublime volley as his team, The Firm, secured a 4-2 victory over The Youngsters and Old Guy.

The Firm though, with Clarke continually causing problems grabbed a late strike to seal the victory.
Heanor Lions remain in top spot after a 5-2 victory over a much improved Red Army side this week. As clashes go it couldn’t have been much tougher for Red Army in what was a top versus bottom clash. Red Army though produced one of their best performances of the season so far, troubling the Heanor side on more than one occasion. Chris Heard however was a constant thorn in Red Army’s side producing another dazzling display to keep Heanor a point clear at the top of the table.
