Game 26
Red Star brought themselves back into contention with a brace from their no1 striker against a flagging Athletico. It was a carbon copy performance from the same fixture earlier this season. Red Star boss: ‘I’m well pleased with that performance against the best team in the league (on paper). We’ve done the double over them now…I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since we last managed that!’
Novia came back from the brink to win at the Green Tree concrete forest 2-1.
Sporting radio commentary: Pundit 1: ‘Do you actually, now honestly belieeeve that Novia have got what it takes…I mean honestly? Pundit 2: ‘Aye, I’ve jus’ got myself a good feelin’ there for ’em,. I mean, how many shots did you see on target out there? Nah, I’m takin’ a good look at The Olby…its white knuckle time buddy.’
Olby were unstoppable against Chamber Athlete as they hit them for six.
Sporting radio snapshot: …Pundit 1: ‘Well Gavin there was talk about Chamber Athlete being the rightful successors of the Olby crown at the start of the campaign…what’s gone wrong over there?’
Pundit 2: ‘I think they’re still young, look, all that financial stuff must’ve had an impact. I know The Sporting League teams are a resilient bunch but there still needs to be an element of sensitivity when you’re dealing with people at the beginning of their respective careers…Next year you’re gonna see a big improvement over there…’
