Another win for Tudor as other divisions start to take shape
With the weather finally showing signs of improvement, there was a near-full set of fixtures.
Firstly in the Premier Division, Tudor Sports won again, 3-0 away to Red Velvet Reserves. It will take an extraordinary turn of events to stop them claiming the title now. In the other match, Croydon BR won their first league game of the season, 6-2 against fellow strugglers, West Bromley Albion. That result meant that every side in the BSLFL has now recorded at least one league win.
In Division 1 Danson Sports moved closer to the title, with a 6-1 win over Crayford Arrows Red. Unusually, our goals were scored by substitutes, including a brace for Reece Bridge.
In Division Two the top-two met and Old Colfeians Green came out on top to take a step towards the title. They beat Frazier 4-1, with a tight first half ending 2-1, before they stretched away in the second. Ibrahim Aldouri scored another two goals to add to his personal tally. In the other game, Junior Reds overcame KSG Falcons 4-3, Reginald Oliver scoring twice.
Division Three has been hugely competitive all season and the title will go down to the wire. In the only game today, Highfield and Welling defeated Dulwich Village 3-1.
Moving onto the cups, the first round Elizabeth Jaques game between GroundHoppers and Welling Park Reserves was finally replayed. GroundHoppers came out on top in a hugely entertaining game, 8-5. Welling Park's Jonathon Marks and Jeffrey Adekunle both scored two in vain. For Ground Hoppers, Ben McConnville scored twice, while Robert Wickenden scored a hat-trick to secure their place in round 2. In the quarter-finals, Old Roan were edged out by Old Bromleians in a tight match that finished 3-2 to the visitors.
In the Queen Mary Cup, the first quarter-finals were played, with Eltham Town progressing, after a tight 2-1 win over River Plate from Division 1, Sam Hayes with both goals. They will met the in-form Meridian, who crushed Kingsdale 5-1 in a battle between two high-performing Division 1 sides.
Over in the President's Cup, there were wins for Eltham Town Reserves, 2-0, against South Dulwich; Russellers, 6-1 against Slade Green Knights (two goals apiece for Kane Cameron and Daniel Strugnell); and AFC London, 6-3 against Latter-Day Saints (Jason Hammett smashing 4).
