Abingdon Monday 5 a side Christmas round up!
It was our last night of football this year at our Abingdon 5 a side league, remember no Wednesday or Thursday league's this week. It was a great turn out so close to Christmas with 27 out of 30 teams in attendance so top effort to all our captains!
It looks like it's turning into a two horse race at the top of the Premier League as Massive Irons and Costa Rica both produced wins last night. Irons looked strong in their 11-2 win over Sporting John while Costa Rica also impressed against The Village, winning 6-2. In the other game Ab's All White's pulled themselves out of the bottom two with a 8-2 win away at Royal Madrid.
We have new leaders in Div 1 as Cunning Stunts went top with a 5-3 victory at Marshall Massive, Tom Taylor registering a brace. Schindlers Assist also moved up in to the top two as they drew 3-3 with Expected Toulouse. Goals Aloud picked up a 5-0 win as they played BeanzBurgzBosh in a friendly with Pathetico Madrid away this week.
James Killner scored five times for Div 2 leaders Only Put Matip In as they made it five wins on the bounce, beating Hardly Athletic 13-5. We had a couple of Christmas crackers in the other two games, firstly The Sticky Bandits edged it 5-4 against Intayanan to go into second spot while FC Unts won 8-6 against UpTheDucks, Shane VanDerlowen with a hat-trick for Unts while Cam Godwin hit one for Ducks.
FC Copenbadly impressed in the battle of the top two in Div 3 against FC Power Rangers, winning it 8-2 to maintain their 100% record and move two points clear. Substandard Liege closed the gap to the promotion places to two points after an 11-4 win at McFattys. Survey Monkey's picked up a 5-0 win in the other game with Kick It In The Net-ics away at late notice, they played Destine Toulouse in a friendly.
Sluts N Bolts remain on course for the Div 4 title as they kept alive their perfect record with a 8-4 victory against a spirited Destined Toulouse side. Bacon Mbappe move up to third in the table after a strong performance to beat Relegation Rovers 6-0, Tom Carter and Kieran Fuller both with braces. Finally BeanzBurgzBosh picked up a 5-0 win with Rhythm Of Van Dijk away this week.
