Round-up 11/12

Premier Division
last years' double winners Royal earl found themselves frustrated yet again, as they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Crookes FC. Goals from Ryan Hindley and Jordan Turner could not prevent them from succumbing to their third straight league draw. They sit in a disappointing fifth place, nine points back from the lead. Crookes are level with the earl on points but have played three games more.


Division One
Third placed Arundel played host to second placed Brunsmeer Abbey at Frecheville Sports & Social Club. A single goal from Leon Wainman gave Brunsmeer Abbey the win and ended the Arundel's unbeaten league start to the season. Brunsmeer are now only two points behind leaders HSBC.


Division Two
Leaders Rawson Spring recorded a 5-2 away win over Heeley. Jack Poulton proved to be a significant difference between the two teams, scoring an hat-trick for the Rawson Spring.

Rawson Spring finished second place in Division Three last season, behind the winners Heeley, but this result and overall league position goes to show that they have acclimatised better to life in the Second Division.

Winn Gardens consolidated second place with a slim 1-0 away win over City Taxis New Inn. Paul Wake got the goal to give Winn Gardens their third straight league win.

Tim Council followed up last weeks four goals with an hat-trick in Penistone Church's 4-0 victory over Mosborough B. Oliver Robinson got the other goal, as Penistone moved five clear of fourth placed Heeley.

An entertaining game between Hackenthorpe Villa and Hackenthorpe B at Reignhead Farm ended 2-2. The two teams a little over a month ago, and they shared the spoils on that occasion also.

Division Three
Both Adam Raynes and Otis Thorn scored twice for Norton Oaks, as they beat Staffordshire Arms 4-0 at the Handsworth Recreation Ground. The win ends Norton's run of four straight league defeats.

African Dream Team and the Barrel Inn met at the Caribbean Sports Club, where they both scored two penalties each. The Barrel Inn  did take the points though, winning the game 5-2.

Under 21 Division
