Season 68

[talisman]

Palace teams update, Sunday 19th July...

Casuals first up with an away trip 'down under' to Alderson FC. Playing attacking 4-5-1V against 4-4-2C, the visitors made heavy weather of it, going behind twice in the first half, but right-winger Shaqiri equalised between the home goals. Changed to defensive/counter in second-half and things turned round, left-winger Hansen netting twice and the defence locking it down to keep the home strikers at bay for a final score of 3-2. Arma suspended for next game after picking up late booking, first one for Casuals for 11 games. With the other match results in, Casuals increase lead at top to three points...



Terriers next, and they were at home to PSBL, just below them in table, and winners of a very tight game earlier in the season. Playing a modified 4-1-4-1 against 4-3N-3, again a game of few chances, and many blocks and saves, that ran out a 1-1 draw, defenders Clare and Gorrono combining, the latter forcing the ball home. Another injury for the Terriers, this time MC/DMC Silny suffering a 7-day Hamstring Grade 3, meaning he will be out for the rest of the season. A covering DC/DMC was picked out of the transfer market:



The unfortunate player released by Terriers to make way was DC Luke George. Terriers remain in 6th position, but have lost another 2 points on the leaders.
