Match reports

Keith’s Cardiff kept their lead at the top (and Keith’s freebie) as they beat Shirley’s Blackburn on Friday night 4-1. Also at the higher end of the table Colin’s Middleborough broke the Team of the Week curse and won 3-2 away at Peterborough and Amy’s Hull beat Scott’s Watford 2-1 away (Scott scoring in the 90th minute). 

There were four 2-2 draws for Paula (Palace) V Lyn (Blackpool), Jane (Charlton) V Dan (Brighton), Andy (Huddersfield) V Margs (Bolton) and Pete (Leicester) V Barnsley. I’m sure there was controversy in those games but apart from Andy scoring late to deny me a win, I haven’t looked.  Mick’s Forest beat Anna’s Burnley 2-0 at home to push him up the table and Jim’s Derby beat Dave’s Leeds 3-1 to give him 10th spot behind Mick. Dave says Leeds can’t play anymore!  Sue’s Wolves beat Chris’s Birmingham 1-0 although it was a Birmingham own goal that ended Wolves run over six home games without a win. 

Jan made a bid for freedom from the bottom of the table with a 3-0 win over Millwall. He didn’t inflict damage on anyone else in CCC and he didn’t move up any places but he is within reach of other teams and he opened up a gap between him and Kelly and Ted.  And as for the Match of the Day – Kelly and Ted… Ted took the lead in the 3rd minute but Kelly equalised with a penalty on 18 minutes. The game was heading for a draw until Ted took the lead again in the 79th minute and then Kelly scored a penalty in the 86th and the winner in 88th to take the three points, have a three point lead on Ted and subject him to his seventh straight defeat.
