CITY OF NEWMAN STADIUM NEWS

Premiership
RED STAR WELL-PLAYED 1

KILLER ANTS 5
at The City Of Newman Stadium
It was too little, too late for the Killer Ants who thrashed Red Star Well-played on tuesday night, My Garden Shed FC have sewn up the premiership title. The scoreline did not really reflect the story, Red Star were worth more than a four-goal drubbing. At halftime Walker and Summerfield had limited Killer Ants chances and anything that did get through was stopped by Davis, who did produce a wonder double-save to keep Red Star in touching distance just before the break while they were 0-1 down. After halftime and Killer Ants scored three goals in three minutes as Robbie Fowler struck twice while the Red Star defence were napping before Stuart Ripley curled a 20 yard strike into the top corner to make it four-nil. Red Star had imploded.
James Walker reduced the arrears with a great solo strike but in the final minute, Davis was beaten at his near post again. 5-1.

Division One
COFTON CELTIC 4
LA GALAXY CARAMEL 0
at The 'New-Camp' Stadium
Cofton Celtic's hopes of an unlikely division one championship title are still alive having beaten La Galay Caramel by four goals at the New Camp on tuesday. However they will need to overturn a four-goal difference in beating East Compton Eagles and hope that Kalamazoo do them a favour and beat KFC. Cofton were fortunate in a game that LA Galaxy Caramel dominated for large spells without creating much infront of goal, LA had more posessiona nd were enraged by referee Uriah Pennie's decision to play-on when James Walker was tripped on the cusp of the penalty area. Walker was surely about to score his first goal for the club when he was brought down, but the controversial official waved away appeals and Cofton Celtic counter-attacked and with Galaxy at 6's and 7's, Cofton scored their second goal to effectively end the contest. Following that strike heads went down and Cofton added two more. It changes nothing for the complexion of the table as far as Galaxy are concerned as they can only end in mid-table.
