Tipton Family Church FC and Juaniche Wanderers battle out a 3-3 draw

 

The Summer Cup is still wide open and with just two games to go, three teams are still vying for the two available semi-final slots. The passion of a local derby saw Crestwood Cobras raise their game against their stable mates Crestwood Church FC and the result was a 2-2 draw. After a four match run of defeats it also means that the Cobras have turned that around, albeit with two draws.

It's going to be tense this coming week with both Crestwood Church FC and Hilly House Adecco looking for wins to secure their place in the last four. The frustration is that Marsh Lane CFC could also be in that position, but points deductions for not signing players before the game has meant that they are out of contention, otherwise they would have had their destiny in their own hands.

But they are doing well in the league, currently sitting in 3rd place courtesy of a 9-2 win over AFC Fatherless Barn. The other team that climbed the table was Brandhall & Quinton who are up to 5th place thanks to their first win of the season, a 5-0 victory against Hilly House Adecco.

It's all early days yet but it's better to be at the top than the bottom regardless of how many games have been played. And the pole position is held by Juaniche Wanderers who shared the points in a six-goal thriller with Tipton Family Church FC. Leading 3-1 at the break, the odds were in Juaniche's favour but TFC are having an excellent season so far and they battled back to earn a well deserved point, which keeps them in fourth place.
