Palace Teams report, Friday...

First up today were Palace Terriers, and they were away in the League and recorded a 4-0 win. Meikle and Schmitt gave Terriers a half-time lead, and when they started to lose their way after the break, the Management decided to replace Krajca with Moran, and he repaid their faith with two late goals.

Desert Rats FC were next to play, and won 5-1 at home in the League. Hammes scored the opener with the last kick of the first half, but the visitors replied as soon as play resumed. The Rats then turned the after-burners on and O'Toole (2), Hammes and substitute striker Haddou completed the rout.

Desert Rats started the evening matches, playing away in the Cup and trying to protect a 2-1 advantage from the 1st Leg. The home side scored first to equalise the tie and kept the lead at the break. Matias, O'Toole and Ivory scored in eight second half minutes to turn the match on its head. The hosts pulled a goal back but the Rats held on for a 3-2 match score and progress on aggregate 5-3.

Palace Casuals played at home in the League for their only match of the day and lost DMC Boccardo to injury in only the 2nd minute, and eventually the game 0-2, a defeat which pushes them down to 12th in the table.

Palace Terriers completed their latest Stadium improvement today, and the now 5000 seater ground hosted a Cup 2nd Leg match. The visitors opened the scoring, but Record and Moran put the Terriers in front before the opposition drew level again just before the end. The match result was 2-2, but adding the 1st Leg score means the Terriers go through 6-2 on aggregate.
