MAN ON THE MOON 3-3 JD-LIONS

Division Four
MAN ON THE MOON 3-3 JD LIONS

Man on the moon pub remain fourth in the table following their three-all draw against seventh placed JD Lions. Man on the moon went ahead on four minutes with their first attack of the game when Gary Ablett fed Mark Robbins the ball, he turned Steve Harris and his curled effort found the back of the net. JD Lions responded quickly as Carlos beat Clayton Blackmore and teed up Dave Sorensen who smashed the ball beyond Tony Coton to make it one-a-piece.

Within a minute of the restart Man on the moon were back infront, however, JD went to sleep and went two-one down as Robbins' flick was met with a half-volley by Blisset as he proded the ball past Davis. Parity was rstored just before the break as player/manager James Walker set himself up and curled an unstoppable drive into the top right hand corner that gave Coton no chance. Two-two at the break.

Man on the moon were conceding posession and several corners as JD Lions took the game to them, Coton made a decent stop from substitute Alex Dandy who came on in place of a lacklustre Carlos, Dandy did get another chance though and he took it with aplomb as he played some neat, intricate passing with Sorensen and toepoked the ball past Coton to put JD Lions three-two infront.

JD Lions just can't seem to buy a win at the moment and it came as no surprise when Phil Stamp played in Mark Robbins to claim his second goal of the night and, arguably, the best as his long-range curler flew into the bottom left hand corner of Davis' net. The game ended in a draw which was not much help to either side who remain in the same place as they did before kick off.

"Well, they're not a bad team, you know they're unbeaten in six games now and they're always a threat; mainly because they've got Mark Robbins up front who made the difference today, to be fair, Phil Davis is a bit disappointed because he's only had four shots to save and three have gone in but that's the way it goes somtimes, he'll be better next week, we all will." said a slightly deflated player/manager James Walker.

Division Two
SEXY DOUGHNUTS 4-2 REAL JD

Sexy Doughnuts' vice-like grip on top-spot in division two showed no signs of loosening as they hammered Real JD last night with a first-half blitz, scoring four times.

John Sheridan opened the scoring as early as the third minute when he struck from distance and saw the ball squirm threw Davis' hands and into the back of the net, it was a soft goal and following that opener the 'Doughnuts' could smell blood; Carl Shutt was next on the scoresheet as he used his pace which took him beyond Walker and Summerfield and dinked the ball over the advancing Davis to make it two-nil after just five minutes. Real JD hadn't really got hold of the ball by the time that Shutt had scored his second with a carbon-copy of his first goal, three-nil and the contest was effectively over. Real JD did stage a mini comeback though and Dave Sorensen battled for posession on the edge of the box and drilled in a shot which beat Les Sealey at his near post. It was merely a stay of excecution for Real however as Nigel Gleghorn burst threw the defence and smashed the ball into the back of the net to make it four-one at halftime, Real JD had no answer to the 'Doughnuts' qucik counter-attack.

The second half saw fewer chances than the first as Real had more posession as Sexy Doughnuts eased off and with time running out Alex Dandy was able to score a consolation goal against Sealey after another neat move between himself and Sorensen, four-two it finished but Real JD are still seventh in the league and badly need points if their promtion dreams are going to be realised, just two wins out of their last six matches.

"Sexy Doughnuts have only lost one game all season (eleven games) so it was always going to be tough, obviously...last time we played them they put eight past us so I suppose we're improving. They're a top class team, they're going to win this league I've no doubt about that so it was damage limitation stuff for us and we've played some decent football and scored a pair of top quality goals so I will take some positives out of it tonight despite the result." Said player/manager James Walker.

FURIOUS PIGEONS TEN-POINT OBSERVATIONALISATIONISM OF THE WEEKEND'S FOOTBALL EVENTS

1.England are ace again, apparently-Trio Walcot is the darling of the press...how long until they find some dirt on him, date-rape allegation or homosexual allegation!? The cheeky bonus in the win over Croatia was Joe Cole getting his head split open; doctors said that, following a scan, results proved that he didn't have any sense knocked into him.

2.Keegan quits again! Shambolic events at Newcastle as they lost at home to average rugby team Hull, shandy-swigging, cockney-mafia are on their way out which is a shame because Newcastle provide the comedy-element on Match of the Day. Guthrie is a dirty twat aswel.

3.Titus Bramble...what the fuck is going on there? Another own goal for the scrapbook, you tit.

4.Gianfranco Zola is the new West Sham United boss, is he mad, a genius or both like Hannibal Lecter or Arsene Wenger?

5.Manchestarab City lose at the Middle-Eastlands stadium; shame but more fun there with Man City fans dressing like Sheikhs, I wonder whether or not the new owners have a good sense of humour? They're going to need it.

6.Linesmen are rubbish. What a weekend for the 'grasses with flags' they were shit and following from the pigeons observation from last week-people have started mentioning 'video-replays' again! Thankyou Big-Sam Allerdyce.

7.Rory Delap's uber-long-throw is going to give Tim Howard nightmares for weeks, Stoke are the new Bolton Wanderers with their fantastic 'Basketball' tactics.

8.Van-Der-Sar needs his P45, I'm sorry Edwin, the pigeon loves you but you're playing like an AIDS victim-don't go down the same route David 'Oooh my back!' Seaman went.

9.West Brom got their first win against 'sponsor-less', manager-less and clueless West Sham which was nice.

10.John Terry is the best rugby player in the premiership and the way he behaved to the ref following his red card would get him a ban from rugby.
