Match Reports

Cardiff’s nemesis Peterborough grabbed two points after winning 2-1, when bottom of the table beat the top, ending Keith’s 100% home record. Cardiff have now lost the 3 of the last 4 meetings between the two but remain top of the table despite a decreased lead. Chris’ Birmingham came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Paula’s St. Andrew’s. This was a disappointment for Paula as they failed to capitalise on Keith’s slip up, keeping them second in the table. Chris can take the positives from this result with Burnley up next. Despite the Boss's boy Bruce being sent off after full time for ‘violent conduct’ the Tigers beat Andy’s Huddersfield 2-0 with an early and late goal to secure their third consecutive victory. This puts Amy’s team on level points with Middlesbrough and just one point behind automatic promotion (and a cheap curry!)


Unfortunately Pete lost 1-0 on a visit to Millwall, who have joined Leicester in the playoff places. A goal from sub Taylor was all it took to sink the foxes. Austin’s penalty early on saw Anna take a well-earned point from Scott’s Watford with a 1-1 draw. Brighton and Nottingham Forest remain outside the playoffs (on the same points) after Mick’s trip to the Amex Stadium saw stalemate. Both teams hit woodwork but it just wasn’t their day.  Lyn won 2-0 including a belter of a header from Broadfoot, meaning Shirley’s Blackburn saw their fourth defeat in five. The odd decision to put keeper Robinson on the bench clearly took its toll, although Blackburn had the more obvious chances. Dave hosted Jan with Leeds coming out on top, winning 2-0. The tractor boys had opportunities they missed and Leeds now go 4 points within the playoff places. Margs’ secured a win over Jane with two goals in 6 minutes from Ngog to take the spot above Charlton in the table. This saw the addicks’ first away defeat since September and halted their steady climb up the table. Ted won away at Barnsley, bringing him to the same points as Kelly. A slip up from Steele allowed O’Grady to get the only goal from the game and gave the olws hope to hold on from the battering the home side gave.


There were two domestic rivalry games at play on Saturday. Kelly’s Bristol hosted Jon’s Derby where the rams won 2-0 with two goals in as many minutes. Derby are now on level terms with Forest and Brighton, with Bristol hovering above the relegation zone. The other game saw Colin’s Boro’ welcome Sue’s Wolves with another male win. There were chances both ends and Wolves looked to take a rare point from Middlesbrough however Colin was awarded a penalty in the 89th minute and finished off the game with a second in the 90th.
