Grimsby Saxons 5 Blaine 12

This was another one of those games that the team with the specialist keeper won.  Steve Goodwin stood in for Blaine’s Clasper who is working away for a few weeks.  Had he played for Blaine I am sure the much improved Saxons would have nicked the game.  It was only a late rally after Blaine realised Saxons was not a walkover that secured the win. For a long period the score was nip and tuck, only late goals flattered Blaine.

Blaine won’t be bothered what I write, they sit top, having won five out of five

AFC Trawlermen 2 GRS 4

GRS stepped up to the plate on this one.  Trawlermen took an early lead soon equalised by GRS who then pushed on to lead 4-1 at the break. 

The second period was a different game, after a succession of games lost after the break, GRS woke up to the fact that they did not need ‘to win the game twice.’  GRS defended patiently, attacked sensibly and although they conceded a goal got the reward they deserved from a top class performance.  Great game to watch, played straight after the exhausting Cup Final, we got another great game and not the anticipated anti climax.

Scartholonia 9 Grimsby Soccer Club 10

Missed this one unfortunately, it had to be end to end! In the league both teams consistently attack better than they defend, the result shouts out of all out attack.
