Valiant 6 - Fulstow Rovers 2. Valiant played some excellent futsal against a tam that never rolled over; Dan Power's Valiant had to work for every goal they scored. Both teams must be commended on the level of futsal played, this was not hybrid futsal/5 aside, this was futsal played with concentration and intend; a pleasure to watch.
Tom Hunter lead Valiant to 3-0 scoring 3 totally different types of goal, Dale Mason added another before a reply from Paul Herriman (Fulstow). 4-1 at the break.
Second half Valiant held the ball when they had possession, never chasing a 5th goal; if it came all when a good, but no mad urgency, they was contend to dictate game. When Fulstow had possession the game plan was to sit and frustrate save in the knowledge that it had to be a big play to beat Ryan Smith in goal. A second goal from Dale Mason and a brilliant dribble and placed shot from Danny Durrossimo took Valiant to 6-1 before Paul Herriman notched his second. Final score 6-2. Valiant clear champions with a 100% record.
Special mention to match referees Gavin Sartain and Dan Mawer who had a challenging match brilliantly under control.
In the only other match Catalonia beat struggling Institute by a landslide; poor defensive organisation would was the main cause of goals conceded.

GSC Panthers & East Coast Lions 'A' all won by narrowest of margins, GSC Elite knocked back West Marsh after their great performance last week. Tigers and Waltham share 10.
East Coast Lions reports - Stu Orr
first off tonight was the ecl 'a' back in action after a
week off. They were up against little devils who gave ecl 'a' a fight at the
start of this campaign with a 4-4 draw. This time around the game was pretty
much the same as last time except that i have to admit that ecl 'a' rode on
their luck for most of the game. Having going 1 down early i thought here we go
again. A quick sub was made and within 30 seconds of reedy coming on he pulled
the goal back. H/T 1-1. The second half started the same ecl struggling to get
a pass together and the little devils were bombarding at ecls goal. keeper
saving, shots just wide, hitting the post, they did everything they could
except score. Ecl had a kick in and morgan hit it towards goal coming off a
defender and in to the back of the net. 2-1. Still drama at both ends LD trying
to equalise and ECL trying to finish the game off. Full time 2-1 to ECL. still
unbeaten in 7 but were lucky. Well played both sides. The next game was ECL '
B' v table toppers
panthers. I could go on forever with this report, however all i will say is ECL
'B' deserved a share of the spoils if nothing else. They hit the back of the net
4 times however the 2 dissallowed were due to kickins and no one touched the
ball. ECL 'B' gave the panthers a good run for their money but sadly after
fighting all the way to the final whistle the panthers ran out 3-2 winners.
Unlucky to my lads but they are getting there slowly but surely.
GSC performance of week.
