A riveting night of primary schools football tonight at the Tanbridge astroturf as 10 teams from nine schools played the first of three meetings.
Southwater, Leechpool A and Kingslea all went unbeaten but only Southwater got maximum points by winning all its points, although they only lie fourth because of playing one game less than the three teams above which included an impressive Plaistow and Kirdford outfit whose only blotch was a 1-0 defeat to the Southies.
St Robert Southwell and Heron Way enjoyed a mix of results that saw them both finish mid-table by the end of the night.
Leechpool B and Shelley both scored one win each to elevate themselves away from the basement slots which ended up being occupied by Castlewood and St Mary’s Pulborough as a consequence of straight defeats, the latter’s worse goal difference consigning them to bottom spot. Well done to all the less successful teams however for keeping going with strong spirit irrespective of results.
