Palace teams report, Day 13 - Friday...

Warning: Movie reference within...

Palace Terriers had an appointment at high noon for their League match of the day, away at a team battling for promotion position. Zdenek Krajca opened the scoring in the 9th minute, and Ben Atkins increased the lead after 25 minutes. In the second half, Krajca added his second of the game, the match ending in a 3-0 win for the Terriers.

Some League stats:




The final round of Champions League Group matches saw Terriers at home, and they recorded a 2-1 win to confirm their place at the top of the Group. The Krajca and Atkins show continued in this match, the former supplying a cross and the latter heading it into the net in the 29th minute. The visitors equalised early in the second half, but Krajca earned his fourth MoM in a row when he provided another cross, this time for Mario Dinamarca to shoot past the 'keeper.



Put the League leaders with their 100% home record and the team with the joint second worst away record in the League together and the result is a foregone conclusion - not quite. Palace Casuals travelled to the aforesaid League leaders and dominated for three-quarters of the match, scoring in the 31st minute through Philip Deery. Once the home side had equalised in the 66th minute, however, it was only a matter of time before they asserted their position, and with 15 minutes to go, they scored another to lead for the first time. Despite a late recovery by the Casuals the final score was a 1-2 defeat.
