Young’s 4 Valiant 4.
Absolute cracker of a game from start to finish. In a shortened 4 team
League Valiant needed to redress an earlier defeat. Valiant took an early 2-0
lead, but Young’s' they have a history of getting out of bad situations; this
was no different, as they levelled and then went ahead. Scott Harris then
levelled for Valiant with an exquisite finish off the inside of his weaker
foot, placing the ball into the far bottom corner whilst riding a tackle and
beating the keeper covering his near post.
5 seconds of brilliance that encapsulates what futsal is all about.
Shamrock 7 Grimsby Catalonia 3
Catalonia started well, 1-0 off the first attack, 2-0 shortly after. Shamrock
are hard nuts to crack, they give everyone a testing match. Shamrock are
the masters of the fast counter attack, this is where they destroyed
Catalonia. When Simon Taylor was on the field playing defensive pivot
Cats had the situation under control, when he was on the bench Shamrock caused
mayhem.
Second Avenue lacks a roof, but its international size court creates games of a
speed and a tactical finesse I would challenge any other local league to match.

Trawl 4 Franking
College 5
Speaking to a spectator before the game I said 'this one was too close to
call.' How right I was, never more than 1 goal lead either way, 4-4 with
second left on the clock, missed penalty, the game was Rizla tight.
El Doges 11 Clee Wanders 5
El Doges have a habit of winning, Clee of losing. After the game referee
Dean Gladwell game out with a thought I had in my head - Clee could have got
more out of this game, they respected Doges too much. They played at 90%
not a 100%.

Healing Hotspur 4 Discoveries Titans 4
a game you could write a book about. Healing needed a draw to win the inaugural
under 13 futsal league, Titans had to win.
Size wise the Healing team was the Titans, every player appeared a foot taller
than his opponent. Titans was superb to half time, every player had a brilliant
first touch followed by a pass to an opponent that mimicked professionals.
They were that good that they ran away from Healing 3-1 at half time. 4-1
shortly after the game restart, at this point most football games is over;
futsal can be disrespectful.
Did Titans lose energy, Healing certainly never gave up, intentionally or not
Healing appeared to defend deeper with 3 rather than 4 players. It
compressed the area for Titans to play football in, 4-1 to 4-4 with both teams
having a last 30 second chance to grasp a win.
A credit to both sets of players.

Humberstone (two teams) and Toll Bar played a 3 team tournament that newcomers Toll Bar won with 2 straight wins. Toll Bar was an age above so Humberstone can feel pleased they gave them a run for their money.
