In the battle of college football’s elite, a late Richard Burne header sent Derwent to the summit of the table at Haifax’s expense. Elsewhere, James and Alcuin both managed to score four goals each in comprehensive victories, whilst Goodricke ran out comfortable winners over Vanbrugh.
With Derwent entering the game two points behind their arch rivals, a win would prove vital. Ed Lacaille and Mark Fawthrop occupied the front two spots for Derwent, but had found a frustrating afternoon capped with only half chances on goal. Instead, the onus was left for the Derwent defence to prove their attacking credentials. Ten minutes from time, Richard Burne, clearly not content with keeping Halifax at bay, rose highest to power home the winner with an unstoppable header.
Sam Clitheroe and Parris Williams provided the other stand-out performances in the three other matches. A clinical hat-trick from Clitheroe along with a Simon Mole goal, set up a 4-2 victory for James, with Bruce Starkey’s two goal’s proving only consolation.
William’s for Alcuin playing in his accustomed dreadlocks, capped off a menacing and industrious display with two goals for himself, and left the Wentworth team languishing at the foot of the table.
Goodricke likewise, turned a scrappy game into an eventual 2-0 win with goals from Chris Grayland in the first half and Dave Coupland in the second half piling more misery on a Vanbrugh team, who appeared way too defensive in their play on the day. Hewitt and Taylor’s team will have to go back to the drawing board ,and a new injury blow to star man Ali Prince is likely to cause yet more concern for the men in green.
How can you claim to be no.1 for college football when you only turn up when your paper comes out…?
We turn up every Sunday mate to watch the matches, covering all four games, along with our camera team. When the paper isn’t out, we publish the games on the web.
A glance back at your sports secion shows you don’t turn up every week…at all.
Vision only care about sport when their edition is out
Nouse turn up every week with 2-4 reporters and competent photographers. reports are up with pictures and a round up within hours
Vision
No.2/3 for campus sport
Why don’t we actually talk football here instead of ‘which newspaper is better than who’… if you have such comments to make, then you can join the comment section. I think Alcuinite is just a bit miffed that Derwent, and not Alcuin, are top. Cheerio :)
“I think Alcuinite is just a bit miffed that Derwent, and not Alcuin, are top”
Nah, considering it is unlikely for Alcuin to be top after only playing 2 games I think the majority of the team have made peace with this. Cheerio till the next edition.
Regardless of whether we have covered college football enough in the past, we will definitely be covering, and looking forward to it, this weekend.
I’ll be there, hopefully i shall see the Vision guys then…
btw ‘We turn up every Sunday mate to watch the matches, covering all four games, along with our camera team. When the paper isn’t out, we publish the games on the web.’
That is a complete and utter lie
