Six a side league resumes at Swindon Academy

The season got back underway in the Leisure Leagues Swindon Thursday six a side from Swindon Academy. The Lads picked up where they left off before the Christmas break with a goal fest against Exeter Gently. 


Game 1 saw Lean Team take on 1980s Legends. The game was an entertaining free flowing game with both teams looking to get the ball down and play. 1980s Legends however, always looked like the more comfortable team and showed how far they had come since joining the league. They have developed a ruthless streak in front of goal which means they can close out games that previously they may have lost. The 3-1 win propels them to the top half of the table. Meanwhile Lean Team sit just off the bottom of the table courtesy of just a single win.


The second game saw top versus bottom with The Lads facing off against Exeter Gently. Once again The Lads set out to score as many goals as possible and thus increase their advantage over their main rivals for the league Fat and Sassy. The final score was 11-0 but even this didn’t do justice to The Lads dominance. With such a settled squad they are comfortably the best passing team in the league and moved the ball so well that chance after chance was created. We will have to wait until the end of the season to see if it’s enough to beat the leagues bench mark team Fat and Sassy but so far it’s looking like they have a great chance of doing so. 


The final game of the night was a friendly between Fat and Sassy and The Plough after SPEZIAL and Ba Boys failed to field a team. Both teams secure 5-0 wins which keep them comfortable in the respective positions in the league. The game was entertaining with teams having fun on the ball and trying new things out. The highlight was a rifling shot from Paget  from just outside of the box that flew into the bottom corner.
