Red Star are keeping close tabs on the leaders with a 2-1 win at home to Muno…Athletico came back from 2-0 down to win against Lunderbach…Sporting Radio commentary…’Well, it’s all swings and roundabouts at the moment, lots of upheaval in the leagues, massive cutbacks to the smaller clubs – it’s a miracle that teams like Novia and Olby are still solvent – let alone competing for the title.
Updated scores from The Sporting League.
Novia march on.
Game 30
Novia resumed their conquest for the title with a more than comfortable victory over Lunderbach.
Sporting Radio: (pundit 3). ‘Nah – I’m not ‘avin that mate. You know that Lunderbach are one of the sides who’ll never win this league. Listen…their best chance of doing it was back in 1997, but there just aint the resources in place for them to mount a serious challenge in the near or distant future.’
(Pundit 2): ‘The same could’ve been said about Novia at the start of the season; you never know what can change…’end radio.
Olby maintained the pressure as they gave Green Tree the run around on a pitch that wasn’t fit for a motor cross event, let alone exclusive Sporting League football.
Athletico were able to forget about their poor spell of recent form with a team building 3-0 win over Metronova.
Athletican supporter: ‘Well, that was a relaxed win. I hope we can now push on in the last set of games…we’ve got nothing to lose now.’
Old rivals Bayerns and Tranquilayers couldn’t break the deadlock and had to be content with a score draw.
Red Star came from a goal down to beat a flagging Colne 2-1 with a double from their no 1 striker, who’s also moving closer to the golden boot award.
Game 29
Zindustrious put the brakes on a Novia title surge as they held the yellow perils 1-1. Zindustrious boss: ‘We’re having a tough time in the courts off field which is why I’m so delighted with the response from the players. We’ve upped the training and you’ve witnessed the results over our last four matches. We’ll never be the pretty option – that’s for sure, but we had Novia hanging on for dear life out there!’
Red Star showed a high level of inventive football as they kept the Delta teams hopes of a return to form by beating them 3-2/
Olby moved to within 6 points of the leaders with a solid performance against Dons – winning 1-0.
Bayerns had one of those games where they played poorly but still managed to carve out a 1-0 victory over Green Tree.
**Sporting radio: (Athletico 2-1 Bolsov).
Pundit 1: ‘Well its obvious, The Athletican no3 player went to ground for that penalty – he’d give old flipper a good run for his fins with that diving technique…’
* The Novia boss is up in the sporting dock for comments made against the hierarchy…’We’ve got a bunch of numb nuts at the helm, wanderin’ about with suits and hefty bank balances whilst their subjects drown in the sea of greed.’
Sporting executive communications responded with a press release: ‘We look into each case on an individual basis and will be meeting on Tuesday to discuss a range of issues. I will say, however, that we won’t tolerate any incidence in which clubs attempt to bring our organization into disrepute.
Game 28
Novia took a giant step towards their 1st Sporting title after coming back from a goal down against Bayerns to win 2-1. Sporting radio: ‘There was a real buzz around the Bayerns stadium at the start of the game but it just seems as though Novia are proving to have the X factor this season.’
There were ongoing protests that led to disruption prior to the Zindustrious and Colne game. The anger felt by the Zindustrious supporters seemed to have had a positive effect on their players as they went on to win 4-0.
Zindustrious are going to become the 1st major team to feel the full force of the Sporting cutbacks as they’ll now be hit with a 50% reduction in their regular funding as they’re the newcomers to the league.
Red Star recorded their 5th win in a row with a 1-0 score line against Lunderbach. Red Star boss: ‘We’re relying on others doing us a few favours. There are still a good ten games left to go and we really need to keep ourselves in the top three. We need to grab enough cash to push us on in future seasons – anything else is a bonus…’
The Olby boss admitted that his team will be relinquishing their crown at the end of the season but remained upbeat after a 3-0 win against Bolsov. ‘The players are a buzzin’ all over the pitch – we’re chasin’ rainbows now = we’re the eternal underdogs, you must believe me. I’m still confident that we’re gonna go unbeaten in the last 10 games.’
## Liver Halvers are still going ahead with proposed strike action in Sporting City after confirmation that they’re going to lose all their regular funding from the sporting federation after losing their court battle against Bayerns.
