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.
