Sporting League: Game 32
It was noticeable how nervous the Universo were as they trotted out at home to Colne – the bogey side of the Sporting big guns. An early penalty eased the nerves as the top Universo centre half calmly put the ball past the keeper into the left hand corner of the net…Athletico continued to put the pressure on the leaders with a crucial away win against Pointeso. Athletico supporter X: ‘I’m well pleased with that win. It was great because of all the @!*** the Pointeso players and fans were giving us in the build up. I’m realistic enough to realize that it’s the place to be at the moment…I mean I go clubbin’ up there at the weekends. There is a real buzz – but they’ve disrespected Athletico which is a big no no in this league. You’d never get that kind of nonsense from sides like Olby and Liver Halvers’….Novia kept up their late challenge with a two goals to one win over relegated Zindustrious. It was also confirmed that Tranquilayers pulled out of offering the Zinnies financial assistance.
