Sporting League: Game 4
Novia maintained a one hundred percent start to the season with a two goals to nil away win at Red Star. Novia boss: ‘We picked up a few injuries to key players out there today – not too sure why the ref wasn’t picking up on it. I think we need a few more pennies in the budget if we’re going to sustain the pressure. I don’t speak to the board to be honest, I do my thing and they do theirs, we don’t get on, I’ve told them so in the past. I hope the pressure from our core supporters can turn the screw on ’em a bit.’
Universo Collunteen made it four straight defeats for Tranquilayers as they eased home by two goals to one – playing with a second string squad. Universo gaffer: ‘I just seem to feel tired all the time at the moment. I was getting it in the neck down the Universo local at the start of the game for sending out my second team, but I really believed we were going to win. It can be tough coz I’m also a supporter so I see those down the local as important as my backroom staff. Yeah, it’s tough, but second place after four games is alright. I’m of for a few jars now and I think I’ll treat myself to fish and chips from the Universo café…you should try ’em – better than the cardboard variety you tend to get at the so called big guns Tranquilayers…’
Colne shocked the champions Bayerns home support with a two goals to nil triumph.
Athletico and Olby shared the spoils in a six goal thriller, drawing three goals a piece.
