Sporting League: Game 34
Universo kept up their title challenge despite an early scare against relegation threatened Indentine. Universo boss: ‘Yeah it was close but we produced the goals when it mattered – so I can’t ask for much more. Look, games against the basement clubs at this stage of the season will always be tough as they’re fighting for survival. We’re still in the race.’
Athletico were involved in an ill tempered affair against their lowly neighbours Chamber Athlete as the ref produced a series of yellow cards before sending off the Chamber Athlete no2 defender.
Tranquilayers dented the hopes of a Green Tree top seven finish with a two goals to nil win. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I don’t understand why the woods-folks no 1 player didn’t come on until the 80th minute. I heard somewhere that they’re going to have to offload most of their squad over the summer to balance the ol’ books – a bloody shame if you ask me, yeah, a bloody shame.’
Bayerns continued their strong run in with a run of the mill victory over the tired legs of relegation threatened Metronova…Universo brought back their dynamic duo after their boss controversially rested them in the previous match…and he was proved correct as the University of industry beat Red Star by three goals to nil…Sporting Radio: ‘I think Universo certainly have the technical ability of Bayerns and it’s now gonna be intriguing to see how they perform in the ol’ run in.’ Pundit X: ‘I’m still not convinced that Universo have the history to cope with the last couple of games and the pressure that comes with them. I think Bayerns have got a tougher midfield and thats gonna get them the points to win their remaining games.’Indentine won the relegation battle as they beat bottom club Colne by two goals to nil. Sporting Radio pundit L: ‘I think it’s very difficult to say that Colne are down and out coz they’ve still got good players down there. For the last few years the press have been talking about Colne goin’ down, Colne resigning from the League, but they’ve got some experience down there.’

Bayerns served up a platter of three goals to keep their reluctant recipients Indentine inthe relegation zone. Bayerns boss: ‘I’m pleased with how our players have done thus far, but now we’ve entered the business end of the season we need to stand tall and keep putting the pressure on our opponents.’Universo Collunteen kept up the pressure on the leaders after resting two of their big guns in their two goals to nil win over Bombaya. Universo boss: ‘Well, as the gaffer, I sometimes need to take a bit of a gamble as that pair have played every game this season and looked as though they were beginning to flag. I’m excited about the run-in and hope we can go that extra yard this time around.’ Olby still found themselves within spitting distance of the relegation zone as cool kids Pointeso looked as though their recent nightlfe ban seemed to pay dividends to an increasingly frustrated fanbase. Pointeso boss: ‘I’m very pleased with the way we applied ourselves out there today. Olby are still a top club and can cause anyone a problem on their day.

Sporting League: Game 30
Bayerns took advantage of the Universo and Tranquilayers draw by defeating relegation candidates Bombaya by two goals to nil. Sporting radio pundit X: ‘It’s a bit frustrating for Bombaya at the mo’. I was talkin’ to one of their supporters club members the other day and it was suggested that they used to get replies from the boardroom to their queries – but now all they get is the eerie sound of silence in return. It’s a real shame for Bombaya coz I remember a time when their customer service was second to none.’
Novia scored the latest goal of the season contender with a last gasp screamer against Yop Lane…
