KINGS NORTON 3-1 JD-LIONS

DIVISION FOUR
Kings Norton Allstars 3-1 JD-Lions
JD-Lions find themselves languishing a few places above the relegation zone following their most recent defeat to Kings Norton.
Lions had Steve Harris sent off at the start of the second-half for swearing at official Uriah Pennie which, arguably, turned the game in Kings Norton's favour. Alex Dandy set up Dave Sorensen to give the Lions the lead against the run of play after nine minutes, when he drilled a shot inside 'keeper Bobby Mimms near-post and Lions looked like holding on until the break. It was not to be however as Rob Lee scored with a toepoke shot from fifteen yards which finally broke Lions 'keeper Phil Davis' resistance. After Harris' red card things went from bad to worse, Lee scored again when he turned Summerfield and his angled drive found the bottom corner of Lions net and Kings Norton were on their way to a priceless victory. David May put the icing on the local-derby cake when his half-volley bounced in off Davis' left hand in a horror moment for the 'keeper who had played well.
Stand-in captain Richie Summerfiled: "It's just one of those annoying things really, I think it was over by then, no-one wants to blame Hazza (Harris) but he knows that the red-card has turned the game for them (Kings Norton) and they win because it's really tough when you're a man down, it's a harsh sending off to be honest. We'll have to pick ourselves up for the next one and make sure we get some points-simple as that...we did miss James Walker; much as it pains me to say it."

DIVISION TWO
Real-JD awarded a five-nil for the failure of their opponents to attend, the forfeit result means that Real are in fifth spot and optomistic about their promotion credentials: "If our opponents keep failing to turn up, we could get promoted by default, bit wierd but that is football."
