PDFL Matchday 7

In League One, Strollers Social had the unenviable task of competing in their first game with a player less thanks to me stealing Jon Steers to play in the Championship. The result was an 8-0 defeat. They also started their second game short but their opponents, Huntingdon, very sportingly withdrew a player until they could go to full strength. Some crucial saves from stand-in ‘keeper Chris Sweeney meant there was only a goal in it at half time but Huntingdon eventually overpowered them to win 6-0. As usual with these guys, heads never dropped and they gave it their all.

The Championship fixtures saw Strollers campaign roll on with another two victories over South Lincs Steelers Reds, and Netherton Utd: 5-1 and 4-0 the scores. As mentioned, Jon Steers stepped up and did a good job up front. We also welcomed back Paul Kirby to the team whose industry and close control created lots of chances. These two wins, and other results going our way, should see us move into second in the table with 4 games left to play.
