Palace teams report, Thursday 6th August...

A clean sweep in wins for all three teams today!

Casuals put aside the loss of their unbeaten League record to the League leaders yesterday by taking out their disappointment/frustration on today's visitors, the team in 2nd place in the table, and won 4-1 at home. Right-winger Johan Shaqiri won MoM with a goal and two assists, Juan Sebastian Garcia, Suhail Kamal and Saeid Aghanavaz contributed the other goals, the last-mentioned scoring his first goal for the Casuals. In the Cup Top-16 1st Leg away match, Casuals were in the unaccustomed position of being the team a Level higher, but didn't underestimate their opponents, who gave a good account of themselves despite playing with 10 men for 72 minutes. Omar Hansen, Valentin Ndjengue (MoM) and Reda Mourad were the goal scorers in a 3-2 win which tees things up nicely for the second leg. Utility defender David Zhelev will be missing for the next couple of days as he recovers from a thigh strain, and midfielder Michael Muscroft will miss the 2nd Leg game after picking up his second yellow card of the competition.

Terriers had a routine home League match against the team third from bottom and coasted to a 3-0 win, Ondrej Kadlec, Paul Hartnett and Xabier Moran the goal scorers. They had an even easier match in the Cup Top-16 1st Leg game away in Argentina. Recent signing midfielder Harry Cambridge secured MoM with two individual goals in the last 10 minutes, opening his account for the Terriers, other goals coming from Taulant Doda (pen), Ruben Gorrono, Paul Hartnett, Nicky Jones and Julien van der Plas, in a 7-0 win which makes the 2nd Leg game a bit of a formality. Defender Taulant Doda became the first Terriers player to notch up 50 appearances:



Desert Rats FC scored 7 goals in their League match today, winning 7-2 away, goals coming from a hat-trick by Francisco Pelissier, Alex Martin (2), Vinnie Taylor and Michael Attenborough.
