CCC - Match Reports & Updates

Friday's televised match saw Paula's Crystal Palace record a second successive win and their first league win against Jane's Charlton at The Valley since 1968. Jane thought she'd scored after half and hour but the goal was disallowed as offside.  In injury time Jane's goal keeper joined his team mates in the box but the home side was unable to score and Paula 51st minute goal means she goes above Jane in the table and pays less!  Meanwhile Dan's Brighton went top of the table overnight after thrashing Ted's Sheffield Wednesday 3-0.

Despite having more of the possession and celebrating their 125th anniversary, Lyn's Blackpool were only able to pick up a point at Barnsley and she was unable to regain top spot. Margs's words of encouragement on the blog inspired her Bolton team to a 'narrow' 2-1 win over Scott's Watford. (I don't care how narrow it is - it's a win!). Keith's Cardiff made the most of the home advantage and beat Dave's Leeds by a similar score-line, all the goals scored in ten second-half minutes.

Colin's Middlesborough had a better scoreline over Jan's Ipswich winning 2-0 with the second goal scored in the 92nd minute and Andy's Team of the Week Huddersfield scored after 47seconds an held on to beat Jim's Derby 1-0. It turns out Derby's coach was stuck in traffic and they hadn't had time to warm up.  Meanwhile ex-Huddersfield player Rhodes, Shirley's £8million purchase scored for his new team in a match that was full of twists and turns away at Kelly's Bristol City. The home team took the lead after a minute but by half time Shirley was level and had taken the lead shortly after.  Kelly equalised but with 10 minutes to go Shirley took the lead only for Kelly to equalise again before Shirley made sure of a 5-3 with two injury time goals and clinches top spot from Dan and the free curry. 

With a better goal margin and rising up the table is Amy who after her posting on the blog scored four first half goals at home to Millwall and won 4-1 whilst Anna's home match against Peterborough had the same goal difference and saw her make a break from footing the biggest chunk of the curry.  Anna's Burnley took the lead only for Peterborough to equalise, take the lead and then scoring an equalising own goal for Anna before half time.  Three late goals including a penalty gave Anna the 5-2 win something unheard of last season.

Mick's Blog posting was perhaps more of a reminisce than inspiring but although he didn't get the win he wanted he will perhaps be happy with a point after the visitor's, Chris' Birmingham had taken a 2 goal lead and Mick's equaliser was an own goal from Chris.

Sunday's fixture was Sue V Pete and having secured a two goal lead early in the first half Sue held on to win 2-1, take the points and move away from the maximum curry bill spot. Pete still hasn't earnt a point on his travels yet this season by it is early days.
