Tenerife Solicitors once again showed their strength against Dreamers Hotspur

14.02.2010 - Masters League summary
Hole in the Wall, cap­tained by Keith Valentine, finally sealed the Masters League title with two games to spare.  They went into their game against Harley’s knowing that a win would wrap up the league.  Harley’s came into this game with­out a victory all season and had nothing to lose, and from the start they took the game to the leaders with wee Grant Kerr causing the Hole in the Wall defence all sorts of problems, and giv­ing Harley’s a well deserved 2:0 lead at the break. Hole in the Wall rallied in the sec­ond half and showed just why they still remain unde­feated after 16 games, with Ash Jolley in fine form they came back from behind to easily take the win 9:3.

John Parkes’ Taylor’s Lounge consolidated second place with a 5:3 victory over a weakened Morfitt side, after losing their inspirational striker Gary Boyd.  Taylor’s must be delighted to see the return of another of Soccer Experience top marksman Dan Moss, who on his return finds the back of the net as if he had never been away.  Blair’s Exiles Bar still sit in third place despite a defeat to the unpredictable Tenerife Warriors who are still looking for the form that took them to the title last season with Warriors winning 7:4. Hoops Rovers sit in fourth position after some great results to finish their season, in their second season Hoops have nearly doubled their previous points scored, and with a few springtime signings on the way, Hoops look to be a strong team next time out, with Kray brothers Adam and Kade eager to get going. Tenerife Warriors sit in fifth and are on the back of some great victories if they can take this form into the new season they are sure to challenge.

L.A. Masters are in sixth and have a couple of games in hand on everyone else and if results go their way could even push for third position. Lee Morfitt’s Masters sit top of the best of the rest with Captain Lee Morfitt struggling to find any real consistency this season but throughout have remained dangerous. Dreamers Bar and Palms Restaurant both suffered defeats as they look to finish their disappointing seasons, both sides have lots of experience and with captains like big Rob and ever shrinking Damo they are sure to turn things around next season.

Harley’s sit bottom of the league but can take encouragement from their previous two fixtures as after a torrid time in recent weeks big Gogo and Greg’s Harley’s American Restaurant finally get a well deserved win. The team has had to show real character over the past season to hang on in there, with no luck throughout the past fixtures they knew they had to dig deep to get a result. After leading Hole in the Wall until half time and finally getting a well deserved win against Palms, they are finally looking like the team that challenged for most of last season.

Champion­ship summary
José’s ever present leaders Villa Mitre still sit top of the Soccer Experience Championship league with a great victory over a very strong Pueblo Torviscas team battling back from behind in terrific fashion to win 7:4 leaving Pueblo distraught wondering where they went wrong as they dominated the early parts of the game. Level on points and now only a handful of goals behind are Hoppys Cyril’s Creations who also won a very hard game against the ever improving I.C. Media team.  Cyril’s spurned bags of chances in the first half and only took a narrow lead into the break while the second half was end to end football with chances for both teams to take hold of the game, yet it was Cyril’s who finished the stronger with young Billy Irons and Mitch Tucker finishing off some great moves giving Cyril’s a 5:1 win.  The score line may be large but does not always tell the story of a very closely fought game. Tenerife Solicitors once again proved their strength as they easily brushed aside an unpredictable Dreamers Hotspur team winning 8:2.  John Green and his Direct Telecom, new boys to the Championship this season, finally look to be finding their feet with a great victory over a strong Rachael’s Motors team.  They now look organised and are beginning to find the back of the net as Rachael’s found out with Direct Telecom winning in great style 7: 2.
