El Fuego beat Race St 3-0 after winning against the Roosters 2-1
Out of the depths of the injured and forgotten comes el Fuego who are actively bidding for a qualification spot in the playoffs.
Zack reported with pure joy: “just thought i’d send the scores in from the past two games from el fuego. tuesday: el f. 3 - race st. 0 thursday: el f. 2 - h.rooster 1″. No details are available about the games and the scorers, but winning 3-0 versus Race St is a huge achievement. Onward and Upward for Zack, Richard and their crew.
El Fuego and Via are now wrestling for the 6th and final qualification spot and with these two wins, the burritos have the edge.
Richard’s Report (who sounds a bit like Gol TV’s Ray Hudson)
Two good wins on the bounce for the stunning burritos. We had 10 players (for the most part) for both games and we were solid in over all parts of the pitch in both of them. To be fair to the Racers they only had 9 players for their game but nevertheless they are always dangerous.
Big thanks to Ricky for refereeing - once again you did an excellent job, my friend. I’m not just saying that, you really made an effort to get your positioning which is a huge part of refereeing. The game against the Cocks was refereeless, and I think both sides should be commended for getting on with it with (all things considered) very little bitching and moaning.
Some highlights for me were James’ goal against the Racers - a stunning first-time smash off a trademark Zack ’sveeetch’ as Mikhail says, the continued development of John the Greek (who just keeps getting better and better with every game), the mind-control tactics of Geronimo (the new Yuri Geller), and the return of the ‘thunder and lightning’ combination of Johnathan and Alex at the back. Also, despite me flubbing a knuckle-ball shot in goal to make it 2-1 with ten minutes to go, the commitment and calm concentration showed by the Fuegans to close out the game.
Both games were played in an excellent spirit and I have to give big props to my man big Mike at the heart of the Rooster’s defence. Last night he came through time and time again to stymie waves of burrito attacks. Without him we would have had more shots than an old people’s home during flu season.
Watch out playoffs, here we come !
Happy Roosters beat Via 4-2
Via suffered a bump in their bid for the 6th spot this past Tuesday when they lost to the Happy Roosters 4-2. The game was played without a ref, and was scarred by some call fighting. For the Roosters, this is a huge win to keep their playoff hopes alive… just. The Roosters must win ALL their games, while hoping that both Fuego and Via lose all theirs.

Bonte plays Fergies at Noon at Sacks, while Race St are looking to preserve their lead over Vesuvio at 2pm.
but the offense passed well and looked dangerous. The game started with a short handed Race team getting on the board early with a nice attack on the right side by Vincenzo. Not 3 minutes later we answered with a left footed volley in front of the goal by Justin.
