As 2011 started it saw the end of some wonderful league campaigns in the north London area. The Woodstore London Legal 5-a-side Premiership crowned Coup D’etat FC as champions with TheLawyer.com FC coming in 2nd. In the Championship The Crusaders and Rail Madrid were promoted and will now see how they can compete in the higher division. The new season kicks-off next Monday.

Meanwhile just down the road the 1st season of the Holloway Tuesday 7-a-side league concluded with City Exiles FC scoring an amazing 103 goals in 14 games. This haul was enough to give them the title over runners up Make Warnock Love . The league now restarts next week with 12 teams competing in what should be a cracking season.

This fantastic 7-a-side venue is pleased to announce that it does have places available for teams to join as in March 2011 it will start its very 1st Sunday 7-a-side league . Places are available but are limited so if you would like to enter a team please contact paul.edwards@topcorner.co.uk

Another league ending its 1st season was the Highbury & Islington Wednesday 5’s .  This lovely pitch nestled by the side of Islington Town Hall was the stage for a successful debut season for Joe Cole’s Bedtime Stories who failed to lose a game all season which won them the league. Euro Trotts FC were runners up just 3 points behind them. This league will kick-off again next week and has 1 place remaining . Drop paul.edwards@topcorner.co.uk a line if you would like to join.

Accross town in east London Top Corner are pleased to announce that after the success of its Hackney Wednesday 7-a-side league the venue will be extending to Tuesdays and Thursdays too offering both 5 and 7-a-side football. If you would like to enter please contact paul.edwards@topcorner.co.uk

Diamonds FC booked their place in The Woodstore Monday history books as they took the Summer 2010 Premiership title. It was a cracking title race with only one point separating the top two as Strathcarnage narrowly came in second. Both teams qualify for the Champions Cup later in the year. 2nd placed Strathcarnage had scored 10 more than the champions over the season but it was Diamonds water tight defence that made the difference in the end as they conceded only 6 in 16 games.

At the bottom end of the Premiership it was just as close as Navarone missed the relegation trap door by just 3 points leaving The Belgian Horn and Jump The Shark to ply their trade in the Championship.

Replacing the relegated sides saw a battle that went down to the wire as Los Suspectos and FC Naga stayed hot on each others heels for most the season. In the end Los Suspectos won the league by a 4 point margin over Naga. Both are promoted and can now try their luck against the Premiership big boys.

In the individual awards it was no surprise that the Premierships top scoring team Strahcarnage would contain the Golden Boot winner. A huge congratulations to Thomas Strickland whose tally was 20 for the season. What is just as impressive is Thomas is also the Premierships Player of the Season after he received an astonishing 10 nominations.

In the Championship it was also one man who cleaned up taking both individual awards too. Mabs Rahman (FC Naga) helped his team to promotion with 19 goals and 7 man of the match nominations. Well done Mabs.

Holloway Men’s Indoor Wednesday Autum 2010

Samurai took the league title in emphatic style by scoring an amazing 121 goals in 10 games. They also went unbeaten winning 8 and drawing 2. A HUGE congratulations to them for such a great season, their 1st in the Holloway Men’s Indoor. The whole league scored an amazing amount of goals shown in the fact that our champions conceded 42 themselves.

In 2nd place came Jubilee. They nearly matched Samurai in defence but couldn’t up front. Saying that Jubilee scored 85 which in any normal season may have been enough for the title. In 3rd place were DW Harriers who were joint on points with The In Firm. Tramps Foot United came 5th and Barley Athletic 6th. Even the bottom team scored 38 in 10 games!

In the individual awards Taku Omori (Samurai) won the Golden Boot with a tally of 45 for the season. Taku was also named The Player of the Season after receiving an amazing 7 nominations.

Congratulations to all who took part in the season and made it a very enjoyable league. The new season will start in January.

Caledonian Road Lunchtime Summer 2010

TCFC took the Caledonian Road Lunchtime Summer 2010 title after a nail biting last day of the season. 3 teams were battling for the top spot as the day started and The Regulators put themselves top of the pile and made their intentions clear with a 8-0 victory over The 76ers. Londinium and TCFC then took to the pitch both knowing they could win the league although Londinium needed a huge amount of goals to improve their goal difference. TCFC won the game and the league and ended what has been a fantastically close season.

TCFC

Second place went to The Regulators (pictured below) who had the best defensive record in the league conceding just 9 goals and indeed losing 1 less game than TCFC.

In the individual awards The Golden Boot went to Steve Ward (TCFC) after he scored 15 goals in 16 games.

The Player of the Season award was much closer with 2 players both receiving 4 nominations. James Doyle (The Regulators) and David Ridout (Londinium F.C) could not be split so it was left to the referee to cast the final vote and James Doyle was given the nod. Well done James, this seasons best player.

James Doyle

Good luck to Scope and The S-Men for their remaining fixture and well done to all teams for a cracking season

 Islington 11-a-side Summer 2010

 Old Torquinions took the Islington Monday 11-a-side Summer 2010 title by winning a staggering 11 of their 12 fixtures. They lost just once against  Midnight Creepers way back in July. They were the leagues top scorers with 35  and had the best defence shipping just 10 goals. I dont think it is any coincidence that both the Player of the Season and Top Scorer award went to the champions and one half of their deadly attacking due, Jon Laycock. Jon scored 13 goals, beating his closest rival, Dwayne Francis (Midnight Creepers),to the Golden Boot by 2 goals. For Jon’s Player of the Season award he won by receiving 3 nominations. Chima Amaluzor (AFC Peabody), Jeriel Cajigas (Whittington Hospital FC), Dwayne Francis (Midnight Creepers) and Paul Mulvey (Midnight Creepers) narrowly missed out with 2 nominations.

The lads get into the winning spirit…..bundle!

 In 2nd place came Team Sparta. Spartas defence was nearly as solid as the champions but it was up front where the difference came between the 2 teams with Sparta scoring 10 less than Old Torquinions. 3rd saw Midnight Creepers on 17 points, AFC Peabody in 4th, Whittington Hospital 5th, Royal College of Physicians 6th and Ibsecad FC 7th

Jon Laycock the leagues To Scorer and Player of the Season

I hope that you all enjoyed the season and I will be in touch early 2011 to see who wants to join the next league.

Islington 11-a-side Wednesday Summer 2010

With a season reminiscent of the Arsenal team known as ‘The Invincibles’ Aston Carter took the Islington 11-a-side Wednesday Summer 2010 league without a single loss to their name. It looked as though the double could be won too but Aston Carter were beaten 2-1 in the semi-finals of the Islington & Canada Water Cup .

Linklaters FC & Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP ran Aston Carter closest during the season both taking a point from the game but it will be Allen & Overy who may feel they could have made the league table tighter as they outscored all other teams over the season smashing in 38 goals in 12 games which gained them second place. Aston Carter the champions scored 29 a figure nearly reached by a few teams but their seasons success was built on their defence which conceeded only 5 goals which is an amazing record. Ashurst were 3rd but were joint on points with second placed Allen & Overy.

In the individual awards it was Allen & Overy who cleaned up with S Saunders winning both prizes. He won the Golden Boot with a fantastic return of 19 goals. His nearest challenger was Darryl Roach (CMS Cameron McKenna) who scored 10. S Saunders was also named the Player of the Season after recieving 5 nominations which was one ahead of  Tom Green (Barlow Lyde & Gilbert LLP) and Raaj Miah (West End FC). 

I hope you all enjoyed the season and we shall be in touch in the New Year to see who wants to join the 2011 season. For those wanting to play before then we have some great 7-a-side leagues kicking off very soon so do get in touch paul.edwards@topcorner.co.uk

Deloitte 11’s Summer 2010

I&IM Infidels took the Deloitte 11’s 2010 title after smashing TMT Titans 7-1. With a record of 7 wins and only one loss they are certainly worthy champions. I&IM Infidels outscored the rest of the league bagging 31 and maybe more importantly had the tightest defence, only conceding 7 times. Considering the season before they took just 6 points from a possible 30 this really is a great achievement. BPRC Barracudas take second place just 3 points off the pace and 3rd place see’s Banking & Capital Markets on 14 points. Next are TMT Titans, REHL Madrid and P&S Pandas. The bottom 3 places are occupied by CF FC, Drivers Jonas Deloitte and finally EI United.

In the individual awards Psp Butler (P&S Pandas) takes the Golden Boot with his haul of 5 goals. Ross Anson (BPRC Barracuders) & Danny Plaxton (TMT Titans) narrowly missed out after scoring 4 each. Danny Plaxton doesn’t finish the season empty handed though as he is named the Player of the Season after receiving 3 nominations. Well done Danny.

Your match officials asked me to mention that the league was a pleasure to referee. Hope you all enjoyed the season and see you in 2011.

London Legal 5-a-side Premiership and Championship

FC Tridocs retained the London Legal 5-a-side Premiership title with a 2-0 win over Judfield Wednesday on the very last night of the season. It was a close league with Twobirds running them close but in the end a record of 7 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses was enough to take the Premiership crown. Twobirds outscored Tridocs over the season but their 3 loses proved to be too much. Congratulations again FC Tridocs. The Lawyer.com FC and Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge find themselves secure from the drop in midtable although it took a wonderful performance from The Lawyer.com FC to drag themselves out the relegation zone when they thrashed Rail Madrid 5-0 and in doing so condemned them to the Championship. Joining Rail Madrid are Judfield Wednesday who had only just come up.

In the Championship Beachcroft responded to the dire season they had in the Premiership the season before where they only won 1 game and lost 9 by becoming Championship champions. They will be hoping they will be better equipped for the Premiership this time. The Championship was a very tight league so a very well done for coming top of the pile. The 2^nd promotion spot was taken by Travers Smith. Taylor Wessing FC came 3^rd, AFC Haircuts 4^th, Sheds Invitational FC 5^th and The Big Daddies 6th.

In the individual awards it was no surprise that the Premierships Top Scorer would come from Twobirds who scored 28 in 10, more than any other team in each division. Rob Hamblin is the Premierships Golden Boot Winner along with his colleague Jack Jones who both scored 8. We should also mention Mark West (Rail Madrid) who came 3^rd with 7 goals even though his team was relegated. The Championships Golden Boot went to Lewis Reyes (AFC Haircuts).

The Player of the Season award was taken Matthew Geaghan (FC Tridocs) after he received 4 nominations. Michael Baillie (Beachcroft) was named the Championships Player of the Season after he picked up 2 nominations. He was tied with Robbie Sinclair (Travers Smith) and Alan Thomson (The Big Daddies) so the referee decided who he felt had contributed more and Michael got the nod.

Matt in the red and Michael in the white

I hope you have all enjoyed the season and the we restart on 27^th September. We have teams on the waiting list so we may have 7 in each league.
