Sporting League Results: Game 19
Novia edged to within one point of the leaders with a comprehensive away win over a lethargic looking Chamber Athlete.
Pundit C ‘What I do know is that some of the Novia players out there today were in the 2009 championship winning team – but they’ll be gone within the next five games. I think they’re really gonna miss those defenders – its crazy business them getting top dollar for those guys before they’re put out to pasture. It’s definitely gonna be a sticking point for them and could cost ‘em the title.’
Pointeso slipped up against a gritty Zindustrious outfit who bullied the leaders on a windswept rainy evening.
Zindustrious boss: ‘We were never going to make it easy for them here. I think they showed some flashes of brilliance but we kind of took the sting out of their big guns.’
The old school clash of the titans ended up with a win for Tranquilayers by two goals to one against Bayerns.
Pundit X: ‘I think Tranquilayers did a good holding job on Bayerns – some great defensive play. It was quite a day – great to see the faded champions Tranquilayers take the game to Bayerns…it was quite a statement. There was talk of a nil-nil score line at the start of the match. I couldn’t believe that the Bayerns no1 wasn’t even on the bench – with his experience, his pedigree and quality, okay he might have had a bit of a knock in the last game – but seriously….leave him out against their biggest rivals Tranquilayers.’
Universo Collunteen and Athletico also quietly racked up wins to keep in firing distance of the top two.
