Week three of the league fixtures and we have yet another team at the top of the table as St Matthew's Ravens moved up a place to sit at the summit. They did it the hard way though, and there won't be many teams 3-0 down to Midland Elite that will come back to take a point. But that's what they did in a ten-goal thriller. The latter will see it as points dropped though and although they moved into third in the table could well be at the peak themselves. But well done to Deej Duggal who hit a hat-trick.

In the other league game Brandhall & Quinton FC picked up their first points of the season as they beat Wombourne FC 5-3. The win lifts them into sixth place but Wombourne drop to basement position courtesy of goal difference.

The Summer Cup is going right to the wire as Tipton Family Church FC beat Crestwood Church FC 4-1. The win puts TFC in the position of having their destiny in their own hands, albeit in a tough contest with Ebenezer All Stars next week. They themselves qualified for the final though by the narrowest of victories as they beat Hilly House 1-0. Hilly will be sweating over the result next Tuesday to see whether they will be joining Ebenezer in the final showdown. Or will it be TFC as reigning champions? It's going to be a close call but Ebenezer will go into the tie as strong favourites.
