DIVISION 2 GAMES

Both MR and PN were lingering around the mid table before this game - and with momentum so important in SAEFL, a win was vital for both teams. Certainly the home boss knew this, and deployed a boost. However, it's odd when you consider that for so many years the weapon of choice for Melchester was Wing Play; and yet here they are getting beaten by that very tactic. PN were superior and deserved the victory - although their keepers performance also helped skew the margin somewhat. MR will be concerned that they are already picking up injuries.

DL have been on magnificent form this season, winning all their matches - unlike NH. So could the Heath upset the band wagon? No chance. Although the sending off of Trost didn't help, the away side didn't have enough to cope with the Legends very strong WP tactic. In fact, with 132 emp, Druss would be performing very well in the top flight (3 ex AA men must help ;)).

AS have had a very poor start to the season, and their manager was no doubt keen to put that start behind him by getting the better of a former SAEFL powerhouse in GU. Unfortunately, the best laid plans do not always work out in practice. In a battle of defence versus attack, the immovable object blunted the irresistible force into submission, and a solitary MaldiniJr goal was enough to take home the spoils for Grammar - who now move into 3 rd in the table. One suspects that AS will not finish the season in the relegation zone.

TJ and especially EU have been in the kind of form that all managers like to see, and this game was the one all managers in SAEFL were looking forward to. I guess England knew the value of a win, as they played a grudge to give them that extra push, and it certainly did the trick. Even with TJ playing a clever counter-punch to the U21's WH tactic, they simply did not have enough power to overwhelm their hosts - who ad several men putting in fine performances. EU stay 2nd.

SH and AR was the battle of the two teams that so far have no points on the board, and are already looking at hard seasons in the division. So it was vital for both teams they they showed the intent and desire to move up the table. In a very even and well-contested battle, even the sending off of AR's Yorke was not enough to stop the Renegades from coming out on top by 9-7 - although to be honest, on emp, the home team deserved a draw - especially as they picked a CP tactic very cleverly. But keepers can make the difference, and on this occasion 9.5 beats 9.

Both ES and DS had 6 points before this game - and a win for either would ensure a play off spot for now. Both teams decided on their usual WH tactics, and both teams had similar NSL on the pitch - so it all was decided on performance, and the Scientists just about had the better players on the pitch, yielding 5 scoring opportunities and 3 goals. In a match this close, styles can make all the difference - did CA prove a better bet than MD? Who knows
