Palace teams report, Sunday.

Palace Casuals were up first with an away trip to a mid-table team, and they came back with a point from a 0-0 draw.

Palace Terriers were at home against a low mid-table team and were very sporting and gave them a one goal start, before turning on the Championship-challenging form. Aaron Record scored the equaliser to make the score level at half-time, then in the second half Julien van der Plas (2) and Zdenek Krajca scored to open up a lead, before Krajca was carried off injured, and his substitute Miguel Perez netted a fifth goal late on, final score 5-1.

Desert Rats FC were in the graveyard shift with a late home game against a mid-table team. Striker Albert O'Toole and right-winger Francisco Pelissier scored one in each half to record a 2-0 win for the Rats.

Palace teams report, Monday.

First game up today was Desert Rats FC's clash against the 3rd place team, but despite holding their own and the match level for the majority of the game, the home side scored two late goals to defeat the Rats 2-4. Midfielder Markus Hammes turned in his villain-of-the-day performance with a first minute booking which led to the home side's opening goal, but Petr Wojtczak equalised in the 10th minute. The hosts were ahead again mid-way through the half, but Vinnie Taylor added to his first goal assist with a goal of his own to make the scores level at half-time. The home side then scored their late brace before Hammes transgressed again and had to leave the pitch seven minutes early.

Palace Terriers had the midday match, and were away against a promotion-challenging team, and the game turned out to be an end-to-end thriller, with the final honours even with a 2-2 draw. Miguel Perez opened the scoring for the visitors mid-way through the first half, but the hosts took little time to equalise. After the break, the home side took the lead, but with 19 minutes to go Aaron Record finished off a multi-pass move with the equaliser for the Terriers.

Finishing off the day were Palace Casuals, who entertained the League leaders and got away to a terrible start, conceding two set-piece goals in the first 27 minutes. The Management then did a few tactical tweaks and Martin Kozak and Liam Cashman scored two in four minutes to level the score at half-time. In the second half it was the Kozak and Cashman show again, the midfielder scoring four minutes after the restart and the striker scoring four minutes from time to make the final score 4-2.
