Tri-Team Tournament – Match Day 5

Going into the final day The Relics were guaranteed the top two positions in the league, but which way round would they finish? The Blues were in a really strong position four points ahead of the Whites. With only two games to play and six point on offer it would take a disaster for the Blues not to finish top.
The Blues started brightly in their first game going 3 – 0 up with goals from Graham W (2) and John W then let the game slip from their grasp, coming away with a nervous 3 – 3 finish.
The Whites had a tough first game against Salcom B going 0 – 1 down but came back strongly to finish 2 – 1 winners with both goals coming from captain Andy Rich.
So all to play for going into the last games of the tournament, the Blues lead cut to just 2 points.
The Whites second game of the day was another tough game this time against Salcom A, but goals from Andy Rich and Stewart W secured a 2 – 1 win.
The Blues, needing a win to secure the title, were on top for most of their second game of the day against Maccabi B, but on-loan Relics keeper young Chris F was in stunning form denying his Relics team mates time and time again, however he couldn’t stop the Blues finally winning the game and the title. Two goals from John W and a penalty from Graham W secured a 3 -1 win.
