In Div 2, Station fielded a player who was banned from a 6-a-side league, against Breachwood Lions on the opening day, so their 2-0 win instead becomes 3 points to Breachwood , but no goals are awared. So instead of being level on points, Breachwood go 6 points clear!
If both Station & Cooper's win their games in hand we will all be level on points, They could be key games of the season when we all play each again.

Lion's hit another 4 in 4-1 win over Newman
Lions had won 2 nil away against Newman at Peartree Park earlier in the season.
The Starting Lion's eleven for today's home game at Chapel Road was as follows:
Sanchez, A.Jefferies, French, Fildes, Dye(C), Burnage, Turkentine, Gardner, D.Jefferies, Collins, Harrison.
The referee was D.Wisson.
The Lion's started the game playing against the wind and rain but Gardner,with a red streak in his hair, carved out an early chance down the left and Danny Jefferies had a early chance from range.
Collins had started lively up front and his trickery earned a free kick outside the Newman box. Burnage stepped up to take the free kick, curling the ball over the wall, for it to bounce under the keeper in to the net. Burnage keeps an impressive goal scoring record from free kicks.
Ironically the goal was a call to action for Newman, who attacked for a large part of the first half. Lions Keeper, Sanchez made a stretching save to keep Lion's ahead. Unfortunately Collins suffered a dead leg and was replaced by Pearson. Pearson,committed to the cause, was unlucky not to score when his chased a loose ball into the box and the Newman keeper kicked the ball against him from close range.
One nil to the Lion's at half time. Lion's started the second half brightly despite Newman hitting the post. Adam Jefferies, French and Fildes defended magnificently, with Danny Dye anchoring the midfield, giving licence for Turkentine & Danny Jefferies to attack. Collier replaced the battling Gardner.
The second Lion's goal came from a Newman attack, when the ball broke out of the Lion's defence to Harrison who held the ball for Fildes to pass forward into the run of Pearson. The ball was over hit but drew the Newman out of his goal to clear. However the clearance went straight to Turkentine midway inside the Newman half. With the keeper out of his goal,Turk's accurate shot from range found an empty net.
Moments later, Lion's should of had a third when the keeper managed to turn over Harrison's diving header from a whipped in cross from Burnage.
The third goal eventually came when another Burnage free kick found Turkentine at the far post. Turkentine's outstretched leg managed to squeeze the ball just inside the far post as the keeper desperately tried to cover.
Jordan replaced a battle scarred Pearson, and gave a fresh outlet down the left wing.
Burnage, on top of his game, drifted into the box from the left and skilfully hit a shot into the far right corner of the goal.
Four nil to the Lion's but Newman pushed on to get a consolidation goal ten minutes from time,with the forward beating Sanchez at the near post.
Final score 4-1
Andy Fildes was the manager's man of the match for his defensive display and wins a meal for two in the Red Lion.
Substitute not used: D.Farr
Another big thank you to the Home supporters who turned out to watch the game despite the rain. Thanks to the Jefferies family, Laura, Steve Marlow, Ash, Pete, Brains, Ian & Mel and of course Beanwack.
