Although
we are down to the last 3 games in The Summer Cup there is
still plenty to play for. A cancelled game from Juaniche Wanderers
opens it up even more, although that's not what we want of
course. The two points that they lost plus the 5-0 result
awarded to Hilly House Adecco means that the latter are now
firmly in the driving seat as far as qualifying for the semi-finals
is concerned. The fixture list and current form puts Crestwood
Church FC as the team to join them, but there will be twists
and turns along the way. And it's still mathematically possible
- although extremely unlikey - that Juaniche could end up
in 5th spot.
But
Tuesday night's 2-2 draw between Tipton Family Church FC and
St Matthew's Ravens confirms the former as the group winners.
With two games in hand, providing they scored enough goals,
Crestwood Church FC could have snatched the honour courtesy
of goal difference if Tipton had lost. But well done to Tipton
Family Church FC.
After
a dismal start to the season consisting of 4 straight defeats,
Crestwood Cobras opened their league account with a point
in their game against Marsh Lane CFC, the result being 2-2.
Combined with a 4-2 defeat for Crestwood Church FC, the league
table shows the latter rooted at the bottom, so no doubt the
next week or so will see plenty of banter flying around Crestwood
Church!
It
was AFC Fatherless Barn who swapped places with Crestwood
Church FC and the 3 points takes them into 5th place in the
league. It's going to be a really tight season and although
Juaniche Wanderers remain firm favourites to edge ahead of
the pack, it's going to be a really open campaign, that's
for sure.
