Ryde Thursday 6 a side title race not quite over yet!

Thank you to all 14 teams in attendance last night. Unfortunately Second Half FC couldn't raise a side at late notice however big thank you to Butlins Bandits for stepping in and playing an extra game. 

The title race isn't quite over yet as Premier League leaders Hurrell's Return were held to a 4-4 draw by Roverners. Terry Crow was back amongst the goals as he banged a hat-trick for Roverners to add to a strike from Jamie Meakin. This result gave Goldies a chance to close the gap to 3 points and they duly went about their business in a tricky game with Getting On A Bit to win 4-2. The goals were shared around as captain Mark Grafham found the back of the net along with Smith, Prescott and Brooks for Goldies. Butlins Bandits are up to third as they edged Salt & Pepe 5-4. Braces for captain Aaron Doncaster and Asa Gough and a goal for James Dijkstra for Bandits. In the other match Cool Runnings picked up a points match win due to the space in the Premier League.

A fantastic performance from Murder On Zidanes Floor inspired by new signing Steve Thorpe saw them take a point from their match with runaway leaders Sat Fesh FC who despite the 2-2 draw remain top and unbeaten this season. Second place Class On Ash had a comfortable 7-0 victory in their match with Raul Moat-drid to move to 4 points behind the leaders. East Ryde Massive are third as they picked up a points match win with Second Half FC being away this week. Finally an amazing match between Vectis Rovers and Chamakh saw Rovers take a 7-5 win. The Vectis goalscorers were Scott-Jackson 2, Wilkes, Pearce, Joliffe, Utteridge and Pendlebury while the goals for Chamakh came from Adam Jupe 3 and Thomas Millar 2.

Thank you to all our teams and our refs Jukesy, Reece and Chris. See you all next week for match day 10. We do have one space available in the league. We expect demand to be high when the extended 11 a side season is finished so best to get in early if possible to avoid the waiting list.
