Day 18

League action

The two highest scorers in the League faced each other today, and a 13-goal thrill-fest ensued. The opposition had pegged Holmesdale back to a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, but there was to be no coming back in this match. A hat-trick for Terje Varhaugvik capped off a match which started with the hosts going 2-0 up in three minutes and making it 3-0 after 11, before the visitors pulled two goals back. Two more goals just before the break put Holmesdale 5-2 up at half-time. A goal within 5 minutes of the restart made it 5-3, starting an alternating sequence which ended the match with an 8-5 scoreline.
