Day 18 - Palace teams report.
One match each today, and Casuals started by entertaining the basement team in the League and sending them away with a clip round the ear after a 9-0 win. Striker Thiago de Souza Lacerda led the way with a hat-trick, his fellow forward liner Hugo Vaz Te and AMC Aleks Dumont each bagged braces. Midfielder Oystein Pedersen netted a free-kick and substitute DMC Mads Larsen was on hand to nod in a Dumont corner to complete the rout.
Palace Terriers had a tricky home match against a mid-table team with a weird defence, and the Management thought hard and long before plumping for 3N-5-2V to counter it. It seemed at first to be a bum decision as the visitors went ahead with 11 minutes on the clock, but as the team was making good forward progress they were let be and eventually Luca Giovanni Pidutti equalised to send the teams into the break at parity. Pidutti added the second goal to his brace with 12 minutes to play and the Terriers faithful were rewarded with a 2-1 win.
