Monday Night Football is back at Abingdon 5 a side

Great to see the majority of sides returning to our Abingdon Monday night 5 a side at Tilsley Park however there are a couple of changes in the teams with Shlong Hanborough departing to be replaced by KanteFitMyWillian next week. Also a no show from Bunch of Bench Warmers which is unusual, please could their captain get in touch by tomorrow to confirm attendance next week. Many thanks

Onto the football now and in the Premier League Fruity Spartans stay top of the table after picking up a points match win last night. Club Tropicana Drinks FC are chasing them down and kept up the pace with a 8-4 victory against Hardly Athletic. The other two matches were close as Victorious Secret slipped to third, going down 6-4 to SWXI while Coopers Troopers narrowly defeated Hadland Rovers 4-3. 

There's no stopping Young Guard as they continue to dominate Div 1, picking up a 9-1 win over Substandard Liege to make it five wins from five and stretch their lead to four points from FCUOB who scuppered to a 8-4 loss to Basically Barca. Savills took the win in an entertaining match with Cunning Stunts 6-4 while Class On Grass took a points match win with Shlong away and vacating the league.

Div 2 is really tight after match day five with three teams all level on eight points. Currently sitting top on goal difference are Expected Toulouse who defeated Survey Monkeys 8-2. Up to second are Unprotected Cesc who also won 8-2, their win coming against Tass. The closest game of the night saw Abingdonnys record a 6-5 victory over Ivory Toast while Norfolk N Chance had a points match win with Pique Blinders being away.

It's great to be back and thank you to all our refs on the night and all the players and captains. See you all next week. We will be running on Monday 14th and 21st December before a break for Christmas and return on the 4th January.
