Welcome to Sunday League Football.
MATCH PREVIEW
2 games left of a dramatic season and it’s a 5 horse race to the finish!
Some of the top 5 require 2 wins and a MOTM performance to go with it but you never know in this game….
Some of the players will be wanting season 5 to come quickly but I’m sure they want to get some momentum and confidence with wins.
Remember if you want the foul shout FOUL! 😂
Let’s have a great game lads see you there! 🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴

MATCH REPORT
For a change, there wasnt a collapse this week and both teams fought hard until the end. It was a really good game.
The Blues started off arguably the better team with a good tactical shape and had the majority of the possession. However, they found themselves a couple of goals down as the Reds hit them with a few counter attacks. The Blues though kept positive as they felt the goals would come and they did as Balf finally beat Mart who was making some good saves.
A few goals for either team meant it was 4-4 with half the game gone. The match had continued in the same fashion, Blues dominating the ball but Reds breaking quickly.
Then the chaos started. Tackles were starting to fly in as the pressure increased, the shouts were becoming louder and more often. The Blues ball possession started to take its toll on the Reds as Ian, Balf and John started to find that extra yard of space which meant more shots on goal. Martin made a lot of excellent saves to keep the Reds in the match and Ste was making some super last ditch tackles. The Blues did find the back of the net on a few occasions though and set up a 3 goal lead.
A combination of the Blues having a terrible 10 minutes and the Reds being brilliant then happened. The Blues midfields work rate dipped in chasing back and this left Dim and Elliot with loads of room to work with. When the Blues lost possession, Ste and Bryan were picking out the Reds attackers who ruthlessly seemed to finish off every chance. Some of goals were brilliant from their point of view and this opened up a 4 goal lead with 10 minutes left.
Credit to the Blues, they didnt give up and kept going. Ryan and Andy were making charging runs to support the forwards and it took some wonderful goals to beat the red’s defence. Balf was tirelessly pressing up front which created a few chances and the Blues got it to 1 goal behind with a few minutes left.
The Blues threw everything at the Reds. Ste continued to make great tackles and Mart saves. A quick break from the Reds and Elliot delivered the killer blow with a great close range finish and they take the win! Well played Reds.
This game could have gone either way. 10 frantic minutes decided the game. Title decider next week bring it on!
MAN OF THE MATCH
Ste takes it this week with 5 votes and a massive performance. Another rock solid display making some huge tackles and blocks. His distribution was first class and also made some crazy runs from defence. 2 bonus points takes him top of the league well played Ste! 👏
Remaining votes went to:
Mart with 3
Dim with 2
Elliot with 2
KEY STATS
Alan matches an unwanted record of 7 losses in a season. However Andy in season 1 and Dim in season 3 did get wins. Can Alan get that win or will he go all season without a victory?
This weeks results means mathematically it’s a 3 horse race with Ste, Andy and Bryan. Elliot and Balf cannot win the league now as they will not be able to overtake BOTH Andy and Ste with them being captains next week.
