SENSATIONAL ACES

The Aces produced a quite sensational performance, crashing 13 goals past bottom club Dynamo Chicken Kiev to maintain the lead at the top of the Back’o’TheNet Brigg Indoor Football League, played on Wednesday evenings at Vale of Ancholme sports hall, Grammar School Road.
Chris Ridley added to last week’s hat-trick by smashing home four goals and produced a mesmerising display in the process.
Danny Wraith became the outright leader of the Golden Boot as he slammed in a hat-trick, there were braces each for Robert Dring & Lenny Leening with Kev Goodson and Tom Morwood completing a miserable twenty-four minutes for Kiev.
The Marras kept up the pressure after coming through a tense and nervy affair with Hardly Athletic. Andrew Morris took his season’s tally to six and grabbed the only goal of the game which sets up next weeks match with leaders The Aces perfectly. Brigg Alliance returned to winning ways by thumping Benchwarmers 6-0.
Kelvin Brown kept up his hot scoring streak with a double taking his total so far to five, Ben Stothard too added a brace and there were also goals from Jim Rodgers and Rob Cavill as Alliance remain just two points off the top.
Finally, Grumpy Old Men finally found their scoring boots as they came through 6-3 victors in an excellent match with Brigg Fire Brigade. The ‘Old Men’ lead 3-0 with Kevin Turner helping himself to an early brace, but The Fire Brigade fought back through Craig Dawson and Shane Pritchard. Grumpy then stepped up a gear with Stuart Tindall adding another goal to an impressive tally and both Mark Cawkwell and Darren Jordan both added solitary strikes effectively ending the game as a contest. Brigade’s Dan Good grabbed a late consolation leaving them just one place off the bottom.
