Desert Rats FC had a home match against 12th place, and had a selection dilemma in midfield, two of the first-choice trio being unavailable through injury and suspension. DC/DMC Peter Kingdon found himself nominated for the third MC spot along with regular Glenn Seynaeve and 3* bench-warmer Damian Bizacki, and acquitted himself well as the Rats ran out 5-1 winners. Left-winger Gary Cusack scored four times to go level with Emerson de Alencar Arraes as top scorer, and Seynaeve netted a direct free kick. With time running out, the defence went to sleep and conceded their first goal in four matches as their opponents grabbed a late consolation.
Desert Rats sneaked into top position courtesy of the leaders losing at home to 4th place.
Happy New Year to all...![]()
