Palace teams report - Thursday - final...

As noted elsewhere, Palace Terriers were away in a bottom of the table clash and managed to lose 1-2 to a team with Quality greatly inferior to them. Nathan Masegela replied four minutes from time to the home side's two late first-half goals.

Palace Casuals were at home in the League early this evening and won unconvincingly 1-0. Reda Mourad scored the only goal in the 43rd minute, netting a spot-kick after a shirt-pulling incident in the penalty box. Right-winger Johan Shaqiri made his 173rd appearance for the Casuals and thus surpassed the previous record holder, Javier El Atmani.

Desert Rats FC had home game in the League this evening, and used a changed formation, which meant a first game this term for right-winger Plamen Atanasov. Atanasov celebrated by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-0 win, also notching up 2 assists and rating 10, snatching the MoM award out of Vinnie Taylor's hands. Taylor also rated 10 (1 goal, two assists) but missed out of his fifth successive MoM. The other goal was scored by midfielder Jose Carlos Matias. Desert Rats climb to the top of the table, on goal difference over three other teams.
