Second Avenue - BPS Couriers open Premier League title race, StreetSoccer unassailable Tuesday?

BPS Couriers (formerly Harvest FC) take 7 points out of 8; from
3 very tight games. Back to back game
against Grimsby All Blacks ended 3-3 & 1-0, the draw was snatched by All
Blacks with the last deflected touch of the game; the win was a case of snatch
a goal and cling on. 5-4 against Fulstow
Rovers was a great result for the league as it opens the challenge for
Littlefields, Catalonia, Harvest and long shot outsiders Shamrock if they can
put a run together.
The tightness of the league was illustrated by Shamrock 6 Littlefield
2; Young’s Seafood’s 4 All Blacks 5; College 2001 3 Gunners Watch 4.
Tuesday results not in, but even without them the league is
looking a StreetSoccer stroll, the battle is for 2nd place; anyone
of 6 teams can get there. One team to
watch ‘Whakker’ 5 games behind, if they could take maximum points StreetSoccer
have to sweat, they have the players to do it.
Wednesday teams had a night off; the Resource Centre becomes
San Sire on bonfire night. Tables can be
confusing, Inter are clearly top; that changes if you sort the table by loses
Hemswell becomes the form team, sort by draws and Harvest Works are top with 3
in 7 games, goal difference puts Futsal Legends on top; goals against and most
losses is uncomfortably with Grimsby Saxons.
New teams suffering defeats take note that
several of the teams that are at the top have experienced the pains of getting to
grips with futsal; put 2 even teams against each other and I will bet the one
with futsal experience will win.
