Day 28 - Palace Casuals report.
Final day of the season for Palace Casuals, and a home celebration of the winning of the League Championship. Call him sentimental, but the Management decided to give retiring left-back Mirco Kaminski a rare start in the league for this season, and he responded with a sparkling performance before two late tackles in the second half caused the Management to rest his tiring legs and substitute him off to a standing ovation. The visitors were the erstwhile League leaders, on a run of 5 defeats in 6 matches and fading fast, despite fielding a team with 1.1Q advantage over the home side. Their 7* DMC failed to last the first-half hour, sent off for a professional foul in the 27th minute, Andre Faisca doing the honours from the penalty spot and putting the Casuals into the lead. The visitors equalised just before the break, but failed to show any inclination to progress further and it was left to the Casuals to batter the resolute defence in an ultimately fruitless search for a winning goal.
