Palace teams report for Thursday 16th July...

Both Palace teams had evening matches, with Casuals kicking off just 23 minutes after the start of the Terriers match, so the Management had a bit of rushing about to do...

Terriers showed the way to victory with a 10-0 win over bottom club Kenneth FC. The visitors did themselves no favours by using a tanking formation with goalkeeper playing the centre defender in a 5-man defence, and several other players out of position. Moran (4), Atkins (2), Briggs (2), Silny and Gorrono provided the goals, Silny scoring his debut goal for the home side. With some of the 'I-6' teams playing each other and sharing points, things have gotten a little tighter in the League and Terriers are now 6th in a top 7 which is covered by a mere 6 points.

Casuals took heart from their Junior team's achievement, and gained a modicum of revenge for their earlier heavy defeat at the hands of Lilly Whites with a 3-2 home win that takes them back to 3rd place in the table. Defender Arma and left-winger Hansen (2) gave the hosts a 3 goal half-time lead, but as the visitor's spectators piled in in the second-half, the tide turned and two goals by the visitors left Casuals hanging on to a slender lead for the last four minutes. One sour note for the home side was a 4-day hamstring injury sustained by keeper Bieder. He is under the care of the medical staff in a bid to get him fit again for tomorrow's match.
