Another mixed day, started with our home league fixture against the bottom team.

Result: LONDON CITY 6-0 PERSADA FC
Goals: Morgada 1, Zola 18, Redknapp 21, Bentley 32, Redknapp 35, King 90
M.o.M: Hector Morgada (LC)

It may sound strange (or greedy), but we were really disappointed with the final outcome of this match, despite the scoreline, Once Hector Morgada had scored, straight from the kick-off, we were always in command. Goals flowed at quick intervals from Adam Zola, Marcus Bentley, and two from Larry Redknapp, to give us an interval lead of 5-0. We continued our dominance after the break, but the goals would not come, until Teddy King grabbed a sixth, right on the final whistle. We could have done with a couple more, as our league could well come down to goal difference at the end, and we are still 3 goals behind the 3rd placed team, even though we are 2nd.


We bowed out of the cup tonight, after losing the second leg at home, and thus ending 3-5 on aggregate to our level 10 opponents.

Result: LONDON CITY 2-3 FC BAHMUT
Goals: Kocabas 3, Bustillos 5, Mueller 17, Zola 76, Panichev 83
M.o.M: Kindras (BAH)

Trailing 1-2 from the away leg, we needed a good start, but the exact opposite happened. Two quick goals from Kocabas and Bustillos for our Ukrainian visitors, virtually ended the tie, before it had begun. We battled bravely on, and a Rudolph Mueller headed us back into it, from a Lukas Duran corner. In the second half, we kept plugging away, and when Adam Zola levelled on the night, we had a feint hope. But we needed two more goals with just fourteen minutes to play, to get us through. As it was, Panichev scored another for the visitors, to deny us even a share of the spoils. We also lost Justin Harold during the match with an ankle strain, which will keep him out for two days.
