DIVISION TWOGrovesy's Giants FC 2-2 Real-JD
Swannick fed a measured throughball to Alex Dandy who made no mistake as he beat Giants 'keeper Gary Walsh with a vicious drive to put the Lions 1-0 up. It was Dandy's sixth goal of the season so far.
Just before halftime Giants found an equaliser as slack defending allowed Mark Robbins a yard of space which was all that he needed to get past Summerfield and beat Phil Davis at his near-post, 1-1.
With ten minutes remaining Richie Summerfield played an incisive throughball to Carlos who shook off the attention of Shaun Teale and stabbed the ball into the back of the Giants net to restore the Lions lead.
At 2-1 up, the result would have been good enough to put Real JD up to joint second in the league, however it was not to be and with just thirty seconds left on the clock Paul Warhurst drilled in a twelve-yard free-kick past Davis who didn't even move. 2-2 the final score, Grovesy's Giants stay second and JD remain fifth in division two.
DIVISION FOUR
Weoly Wanderers 8(EIGHT)-2 JD Lions
Table toppers Weoly Wanderers absolutely demolished JD Lions in an eight-goal demolition that has worsend the clubs chances of surviving relegation. Inside four minutes Weoly Wanderers, incredibly, were three-nil infront, Davis got his hand to all three but Gareth Barry and Steve Lomas had their shooting boots on. A defensive mix-up along Lomas in to drill home his second past a beleaguered Davis, whose good recent form deserted him and his stunned team-mates around him could only look on in horror.
Carlos popped up to reduce the arrears when he flicked the ball beyond the on-rushing Hans Segers, it was Carlos' third goal of the season. Moments later and Barry had scored his hat-trick as he whipped the ball into the bottom right-hand corner. Halftime Weoly Wanderers had, an unasailable, 5-1 lead.
It did not get much better in the second-half as Barry added to his tally with another quickly taken free-kick and his fifth goal was sensational as he turned inside Slater and pushed the ball past Steve Harris and excecuted the finish past Davis with superb accuracy to make it 7-1. Davis' poor distribution led to the eighth and final goal for rampant Wanderers, following a clearance that was intercepted by the irresistable Barry and his shot was saved by the hapless 'keeper only for the rebound to stabbed in by Craig Hignett. 8-1.
Paul Slater scored a terrific goal from a Dave Swannick corner in the final minute for the Lions, but it would sarcastic to it a 'consolation'. Weoly Wanderers remain unbeaten at the top of the league following this performance which leaves JD Lions precariously placed; fifth from bottom.
