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.

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.

London Legal 5-a-side Premiership & Championship Spring 2010

FC Tridocs took the London Legal 5-a-side Premiership Spring 2010 title by beating TheLawyer.com 2-0 and in doing so let Twobirds steal second place after their 4-1 win over Travers Smith which leapfrogged them over TheLawyercom. Both FC Triddocs and Twobirds have qualified for Champions Cup .  Team Ice Cream came 4th in what was a very close league between the top 4 and Travers Smith and Beachcroft found themselves relegated to the Championship.

Replacing Travers Smith and Beachcroft in the Premiership are Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge and Judfield Wednesday. Both teams went into the last day of the season knowing that they were promoted but were both joint on points and goal difference so the title was up for grabs. Edwards ran out 2-0 winners over Sheds Invitational while Judfeild Wednesday were beaten 2-1 by Taylor Wesing FC who came 3rd in the league. The Big Daddies came 4th with AFC Haircuts 5th and Sheds Invitational bottom.

The Championships Golden Boot was taken by Tony Speight (Judfield Wednesday) with his 5 goals and more impressively he also picked up the Player of the Season award after receiving 6 nominations. Hugo Bowkett made it 2 awards too as he was voted the Premierships Player of the Season with 4 nominations. Well done both.

As Paradise Park gets ready for some changes at the venue we are also pleased to announce that we are adopting a pig at the local Freightliners Farm. We are delighted to be helping support the farm with our sponsorship of Tamara. Tamara is well known to Top Corner as our footballs sometimes fly over the fence and Tamara has been known to chew on a few!

Tamara having a sleep after a good chew!

We are very grateful to the farm for letting us become involved with sponsoring Tamara. I am sure the footballs entering the farm has been an inconvenience to them. The Farm will kindly be returning the footballs to referees Leo and Derek. Can I please ask you all not to enter the farm to retrieve footballs and to leave this to the referees.

After visiting the farm I can highly recomend a vist. It’s great for kids that don’t often often get the opportunity to get out of London and to see a working farm in action. Plus adults can have fun there too. Tamara (Berkshire Pig) isnt the only animal residing there – there’s bee’s, ducks, goats, chickens and rabbits to name but a few. If you would like to sponsor an animal or make a donation then please contact Liz

Holloway Women’s Indoor League

Crouch End Tigers made it 6 Top Corner titles this week and a HUGE congratulations to them for such an achievement. It is often the case that when a team keeps winning the rest of the world wants to see them fail….Take Manchester United for example….I hate them! With the Tigers though its a pleasure to watch.

The Tigers were formed after some boys bragged in the pub about a football tournament they had just played in and the barmaids, tired of their stories said anyone can play that game. The boys took them at their word and challenged the girls to come to train and form a team and so the Tigers were born. These girls who hadn’t played football before were put through their paces and with an eagerness to learn become a hungry, professional and thoroughly entertaining outfit. Obviously over the years players have come and gone and not all new recruits are new to the game but their history still remains something to be proud of. (Crouch End Tigers Pictured Below)

13th April

There was still much to be played for as the 1st game on the evening of 13th April kicked off with Alexandra Palace needing a draw or a win to seal 2nd place. They managed to do this with a 9-2 victory over Angelic Roadworkers. Zoe Tweedale the teams captain led by example with a hatrick and was named player of the match. A very well done to Alexandra Palace for securing the runners up spot and qualification to The Champions Cup. I’m sure they will be keen to go one better next season. (Alexandra Palace Pictured Below)

Next out stepped the newly crowned Champions Crouch End Tigers. With the league already in the bag the game took on an exhibition feel and the entertainment didn’t disappoint. The Warriors who earlier in the season looked in the race for 2nd place worked the Tigers hard and for a period the game seemed in the balance. The Tigers stepped up a gear as the game went on and suddenly the goals started to flow with some cracking goals and movement. The Warriors were playing their part too and a couple of wonderful strikes from Fred deserved to go in but fantastic saves from the Crouch End Tigers keeper kept her out. The Warriors did get the goal they deserved when the talented Christine Bottine let fly and found the top corner. A special mention to The Warriors keeper too for some great stops so well done Kate Everett. I’m sure The Warriors captain (fantastic in her words) Helen Cruise will feel that had Betty Boo stayed fit they may have more points on the board. (The Warriors Pictured Below After Pinching The Tigers Trophy)

The last game of the evening saw Cath’s Team play Springfield. Cath’s Team knew that 2nd place wasn’t possible now but Ali Piotrowska knew that although its a team game she was in strong position to clean up the individual awards. She didnt do her chances any harm of winning the golden boot as she scored 5 and was named woman of the match which gave her a seasons total of 5 nominations. The Tigers have players who can still catch her as they have a game to go but Ali is currently in pole position. Cath’s Team will be looking to push on next season and challenge the top 2 and Springfield will want to make sure they can keep their team together as there is talent in there and one would feel that with time the results will start to come their way. (Springfield Get To Grips With Cath’s Team)

20th April

With just 2 games to go to wrap the league up The Warriors found themselves with 2 games to play in one night. They had the top and bottom team to play and both games were a classic. Against Springfield the game was unbelievably close and the teams were tied at 4-4 with just minutes to go. The Warriors dug deep and stole the game 6-4 with the referee commenting it was a pleasure to referee the game. Crouch End Tigers had much to play for against The Warriors as individual awards were at stake as Ali Piotrowska (Cath’s Team) was ahead in the race for both the golden boot and player of the season awards. Crouch End won the game 10-5 but the goals and performances were not enough to deny Ali both the awards. Well done Ali, 30 goals in 10 games and 5 player of the match nominations.

As someone watching last week I have to say it was a pleasure to be there and witness some fantastic games and meet some lovely people. I thought the spirit and atmosphere was great and hope the new earlier kick-off times of 7pm, 7.40 and 8.20 will help add to the enjoyment.

Holloway Men’s Indoor Tuesday Spring 2010

Frank Hirth PLC not only won the league but did it in some style too. They didnt lose a single game and at times played some wonderful pass and move football. Scoring 82 and conceding only 33 was some record for just a 10 game season. Congratulations.

It was a league that wasn’t shy when it came to goals. If second placed David Ward could defend they would be dangerous! David Ward crashed 95 goals passed their opponents but leaked 51 at the other end. A great season by David Ward but harsh on Redactive Star Belgrade who were joint on points with David Ward. I am unsure there will have ever been such a goal difference separating two teams though with 46 goals keeping them apart.

Paris St Tremain flirted with gaining more points over the season while Tramps Foot United will look to the whopping 87 goals they shipped as to why they didnt finish higher in the table. Islington All Stars are an improving team with every game, they let in way too many but they can score them too which was defined perfectly in their last game of the season against Redactive when they lost 15-11!

In the individual awards it was really no surprise that the leagues top scorer would come from the free scoring David Ward. Russell Connor scored 33 which is a great return. We could do with him down at the Emerates! The leagues best player was John Bull from the champions. John received 4 nominations which meant he beat Roo Corbishley (David Ward) by 1.

The Latin Corner Indoor Thursday Spring 2010

While Arsenal are blowing the title in the Premiership, a few miles down the road at The Bridge School 7 teams are battling it out in The Latin Corner Indoor Thursday league. After 5 games Mansions and Tuffy 2 Buffy are top of the pile with maximum points. Mansions take top spot though with a superior goal difference. In 3rd place sit Hmmm Steve on 9 points followed by The Priory on 6. After that its all level with 3 Lions a kangeroo and a Coq, The PPB’s and 4Ps Marketing FC on 3 points and joint 5th or bottom depending how you look at it.

Last week Tuffy 2 Buffy got their 5th win of the season by beating 3 Lions 3-1. It was the second time in two weeks the teams had met and the week before had probably been the best game of the season so far with Tuffy just winning 6-5 after a spectcular comeback from 3 Lions. 3 Lions will be pleased that they now have Tuffy out the way and have played Mansions once too.

Mansions picked up their 5th win of the season by beating 4Ps Marketing FC for the 2nd time, scoring 26 in the two games. The top two play each other on 6th May which should be a cracking game. 4Ps need to tighten up their defence but with 1 win this season to their name they will know that they can achieve more.

The Priory and The PPB’s came head to head both needing a win after mixed starts to the season. The PPB’s are consisitently scoring goals but leaking them too. The Priory seemed to be a different team every time they enter the pitch and they too had a poor record at the back. The Priory won the contest 7-2. Both teams will be hoping to start getting more wins under their belts.

It’s no surprise that the leagues top scorer comes from the highest scoring team and that’s James Chell(Mansions) who has grabbed 9 so far this season. Matt Elmer (3 Lions) and Tommy Shelton (Mansions)are in second place with 8 goals. James Chell is also the only player in the league to have more than one man of the match nomination too. I am aware that  Tuffy 2 Buffy have not registered all of their players online so these stats could change.
