Day 8 - Palace teams report (2/2).
Palace Casuals played at home, and played normal with short passing, and had a much tighter performance overall, and got a second win (first at home), albeit only 1-0. First comment is the refereeing is starting to get on the Management's nerves - the opposition did twice as many fouls, one of which injured striker Philip Deery, and the only cards were issued to home players... Martin Kozak provided the only goal of the game, on hand in the 57th minute to nudge the ball over the line after Deery did all the work in creating the chance. The defence were all over the place, rating-wise, but the clean sheet award and MoM went to 'keeper Jose Maria Rojo. Attacking midfielder Martin Kozak made his 50th appearance in this match.
