LEAGUE ROUND 26

July Fourth 5-0 Revelation

July Fourth 108.8 4-1-2-1-2 ND - Revelation 101.7 4-3W-3

Last match of the league season to round off another season that saw July Fourth win the League/CL double once again. But before today we only played 25 matches in the league this season and there is 26 in the league season. Nothing to play for really except an end season run out for the players and a trophy presentation afterwards. We decided to give players like P.McNamara, R.Holvoet, Rocastle and Campbell a final send off by letting them play a game which is fair to all those players and acknowledge the service that those players gave to our club.

But the day belonged to Papaleo. A striker who was willing to make a statement to show us who should be starting in our first XI next season. Papaleo's quality is in a relative decline compared to our current playing level and will drop to 6*113 next season. Papaleo got us infront on 14 minutes after weaving past defenders and sending the shot past the keeper. on 30 minutes Papaleo basically did the same again except with a little extra pace. Miku made it 3-0 form 25 meters just before half-time.

Revelation never were in the game as July Fourth's narrow diamond dominated the shallow midfield of our opponents and it was easy for us to feed Papaleo who was still hungry for goals, Papaleo completed the hatrick on 50 minutes after making a clear run on goal and hitting it by the keeper. Michu had a chance to score midway through the 2nd half, We won a corner towards the end of the game and Michu crossed it in for Papaleo to get a head onto it and make it 5-0, there was a chance for Papaleo's 5th of the day but the Revelation defence this time were able to deal with it with a sliding tackle. We came 1 goal short of 110 in the league this season.

Goals: Papaleo (14,30,50 HAT,77) Miku (41) MOTM: Papaleo.

End of season summary to follow in about 2-3 hours.
