FJ TOTW MATCHDAY 32

Announcements - April 14th 2018

 

Referee Nick had the privilege of refereeing the 2 standout teams for this weeks award. The first nomination goes to Real Celts. Having recently purchased a new kit it was only fitting that someone forgot the kit bag. Some quick thinking from the guys, and Real Celts were donning some lovely white sports shirts which were purchased from the near by sports shop. 

The second nomination and this weeks winner goes to Jetro FC who caused the biggest upset of the weekend by beating title contenders Suns FC.

Jetro started the game strongly. Their positive approach led to them taking the lead in the 16th minute when Yuji Shibata scored from close range.  This seemed to energise Suns who created several chances before half-time only for Jetro to keep them at bay.  The second half continued as the first had finished with Suns continue to threaten.  Ultimately their pressure paid off as a corner was cleared to centre-half Mark Godbold who struck from 20 yards, helped by a heavy deflection putting the ball out of reach of the Jetro goalkeeper as it nestled into the back of the net.   This was surely the catalyst for Suns to go on and take the victory.  However the never-say-die Jetro attitude continued as almost immediately a dangerous cross from the right wing was met by Yutaka Kitahara with a bullet header to put them back in the lead.  Suns huffed and puffed but Jetro defended solidly for a huge victory. 

Well done to Jetro for winning this week FJ TOTW.
