Desert Rats FC report...

Monday: Home game against the other Real Madrid team in the League, 3-2 win, Ivory scoring at each end of the game, and Mathias scoring an equaliser mid-way through the second-half.

Tuesday: Weakened team completes 6-1 aggregate win to progress to next round of the Cup. After going behind mid-way through the first-half, Pelissier, Martin and Taylor score to register a 3-1 home 2nd Leg win. Top-of-the-table battle in the League, away visit to second, Desert Rats take 2-0 lead in the first half-hour. Injuries to Hammes and Woolley upset the balance and the home side were level by the hour mark. Final score 2-2, and Desert Rats hold on the top spot looking shaky as sides from 3rd downwards catch up.

Wednesday: Come-uppance time, as a second away match against a top-four team results in a 2-3 score, and Desert Rats first League defeat of the season pushes them down to 3rd. Ivory put the visitors ahead, and after an equaliser, Pelissier puts the Rats ahead again. A second equaliser before the break makes the second-half more interesting. Despite a couple of substitutions by the Rats Management to try and shake up the game, the home side go into the lead for the first time in the 73rd minute and hold this to the end.
