League: Buffs FC had an early start in the league and were in need of a pick-me-up, so they arrived at La Caffetteria FC very early.

Young newly recruited Academy prospect, who had only just gained 5* recognition after 2 very short appearances from the bench, got his first start.....and opened the scoring on 32 mins. Apart from that it was a pretty boring first half. Fernando Ricksen livened it up at the start of the second with a defensive stunt straight out of the "Tackle like Lee: Bruce on Defending" manual, and was booked. The opposition manager must have overdone the caffeine as he changed formation and the Buffs immediately started opening them up. Henderson's FK found Steve Archibald at it was 2-0 after 55. On 70 minutes Henderson ran at the defence down the wing and cut inside to curl one in at the back stick. In the last 15 minutes the Buffs racked up several clear chances bu Malcolm Smith in particular proved wasteful. (He's definitely getting his name changed #jinxed).

Not a bad day with 6 Buffs players rating 8 (the rest 7) although it was a bit tighter than it seemed. Buffs FC now jump top by 3 and signal "Catch us if you can!" to the chasing pack with their games in hand.
