       Golden Eagles FC 5 - 0 Puskas Academia
       Golden Eagles FC see themselves at the top of Division One for
       the first time this season, following a 5-0 drubbing of Puskas
       Academia. It was a game that they dominated, blitzing Academia's
       goal with 18 shots on target, while the visitors didn't even get
       a look in. German defender Amadeus Rahr opening the scoring  in
       the 21st minute with a goal that any striker would be proud of.
       Darío Bourrin made it 2-0 a minute later after Taavi Ruusumäki's
       initial pass was intercepted, but the defender's back pass to
       Dbuszi was a bit lose and the Frenchman recovered the ball
       before rounding the keeper to score.
       It was then Milos Potkozara&#269;'s turn to get in on the action
       with a lovely solo effort, as he scored his 7th of the season a
       couple minutes later. Things got even worse of the visitors, as
       William Jones was sent off just after half-time for a bad foul
       on Potkozara&#269;. Then on the hour mark, Chris Jeffers was
       also given his marching orders, following another bad tackle on
       Potkozara&#269;! The young Serbian striker running rings round
       round them.
       Eagles made the two man advantage count in the 67th minute, Diog
       Guillems cut in from the left side before smashing home a long
       range effort in off the post, 4-0. Finnish defender Campari Torr
       then put the cherry on the top in injury time after an error by
       KJ Lundrum. Potkozara&#269; was brilliant today, but so was
       Guillems, he was the key man in the midfield with 6 key passes
       and the goal of the match.
       Else where Sarnians were made to work for their 1-0 win over the
       ever resilient Thames Ironworks, meaning Eagles are top on goal
       difference. The second half of the season is really shaping up
       to be a 4 horse race with Eagles, Sarnians, Yakuza and Artic
       Storm.
       "It a great feeling to be up here, we were 6 points behind at
       one point and the boys have worked hard to turn that around.
       These next several games are going to be crucial." Commented
       Dave Rosewell, who signed an extension to his contract with
       Eagles today following his resignation of being caretaker
       manager of Reykjavík Reapers.

       Artic 2 - 1 Helsinki
       More frustration for the Hellhounds as a positive performance
       yields "nul points" for the team. Artic successfully picked up
       three points, maintaining the pressure on the top three and
       ensuring Helsinki are destined for a mid table mediocre finish
       this season thanks, once again, to their ineptitude in front of
       goal. This week's game saw Helsinki out shoot their opponents 31
       shots to 19, and even 20 to 11 on target. Artic did the damage
       all before half time with two goals in 10 minutes. To make
       matters worse, the frustrated team picked up two reds and Evans
       and Jemmes will now miss the next round against the Eagles.
       Ouch.
       Karrar and Evans both had six attempts and scored no goals. The
       defence had 12 shots in total and that was part of the reason
       for the failure. Trying to take positives from the game, young
       Daaviski picked up 5 tackles as he continues to grow, and
       Asanovic got 3 key passes. But that is about it in terms of the
       positives.
       The result leave Helsinki in 7th, 10 points off Artic in 4th and
       4 points off Pompey and Nerrad in the two places above them. Not
       out of reach just yet to climb the table, but the clubs below

       Cartagena 5 -3 Coventry
       A truly entertaining game for Cartagena who put recent mid
       season woes behind them and got their league campaign going back
       in the right direction. 45 shots to 22 means the scoreline
       didn't flatter the hosts. The opening 15mins saw Cartagena take
       a 2 - 0 lead followed by being pegged by to 2 - 2. Schiffo
       wanted to have his say though, grabbing a captain's double to
       put the team 4 - 2 up into half time. Huwe got the fifth
       straight after the break and the points were safe despite a late
       consolation for Coventry. Alvarez and Kamara were also key in
       this one, grabbing assists and Alvarez got a goal too. Great
       performance and one to give them hope for the week's ahead.

       Sarnians 1-0 Thames Ironworks
       A hard game in the bright North Devon sunshine, and the heat
       clearly effected both sides. Codi Domino was at the centre of
       all our early pressure which led to a 29th minute opener for
       Roger Davies, the Welsh defender clattering a header in off the
       post.
       We dominated much of the second half, but couldn’t find a way
       through and the last 20 minutes was played out without any
       significant excitement.
       Much was made post match of Dave Rosewell celebrating Eagles
       going top of the table, Skittles  was relaxed saying he was more
       focused on managing his own players and winning his own matches
       and would come back to look at the table in 10 games time when
       things hit the business end of the season.
       There was also a derisory offer made by an named club for Codi
       Domino, Skittles let his 17 year old Jamaican starlet answer the
       question for himself and with a big grin he said “This is my
       home now, and it will always be my home”
       A midweek rest is in store without a cup tie which is welcomed
       after a number of weeks of playing on 3 fronts.
