FC BLUE KINGS (81.1) 1-5 (97.7) LONDON CITY

For seventy minutes of this match, it looked as if we were going to be frustrated with a third successive draw, but a double substitution changed the game into our favour. It started well, when Wayne Dixon dribbled his way through and fired us ahead. It remained at 1-0 until halftime. Right at the start of the second period, Essemlali grabbed an equaliser. The game turned when Sani Negedu was injured by a poor tackle after 55 minutes. Vener Chekmarev replaced Negedu, and shortly after, we sent on Calvin Charlton for Chris Pigott. Suddenly we took complete control and three goals in less than three minutes, made it far more comfortable for us. Charlton got the first, taking a pass from Dixon to put us back in front. Less than a minute later, Shinji Noda blasted another, and straight from the restart we won possession and Declan Jones set up his fellow defender, Marcos Lepe to get our fourth. With time running out, Chekmarev scored from a free kick to complete the rout. Declan Jones claimed man of the match.

Day 16. LEAGUE (Round 14).

LONDON CITY (98.0) 2-1 (90.7) AC GREENFIRE

We came away with a valuable win in this ill tempered match which saw our manager, Billy Wheeler sent to the stand, and injuries to two of our players, including the league's leading scorer, Wayne Dixon. Dixon opened the scoring with a solo effort on 23 minutes, and we led 1-0 at the interval. After the break, things really turned nasty, and winger Sergio Bilbao was injured after a crude tackle by Sunden. Just over ten minutes later, Dixon was also injured after another hard tackle, this time by Pavez. Almost immediately, Lanaras forced an equaliser. The tackles were still flying in, and Martin received his second yellow of the match, to leave Greenfire to play the last six minutes with ten men, during which time, Aiden James produced some magic and blasted our winning goal. Despite missing the final half hour, Dixon still won the man of the match award.
