League Round 2, away at FC Groningen, in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Level 2, AQ -1.3
Palace Casuals made the short hop across the channel for their second League match of the season and came home 3 points richer after a splendid 3-0 win. After suffering the usual injury, this time to midfielder Ondrej Kadlec, Terriers asserted themselves on the game and second-half goals from Xabier Moran (2) and substitute Craig Powell were enough to earn victory. Terriers 'keeper Adriano Mateus earned the Man-of-the-match for his first half display, almost single-handedly keeping the scores level. Kadlec has been diagnosed with a Thigh strain (2 days).



Cup Qualifying Round 1st Leg, away at Moussi FC, in Alger, Algeria. Level 3, AQ -1.0
Palace Terriers continued their awayday with a Cup tie against another Level 3 opponent, and earned a 3-0 win to take the match advantage back to the Terriers stadium in two days' time. After Xabier Moran's 16th minute opener, the side exchanged injuries, the Terriers victim being newly-fit defensive midfielder Giulio Migliorati, who limped to the touchline and was eventually replaced by striker Ben Atkins in a formation reshuffle to the Hexagon. In the second half, Man-of-the-Match Moran helped Atkins and Nathan Masegela add two goals to the tally, a corner swung in for Atkins to dive in and head home, and a free-kick which Masegela volleyed into the net. Migliorati is now suffering an ankle strain (3 days).
