Newport Astroturf™ League

And so here we are, since November 22nd last year we have been playing the winter league and who would have thought all those weeks ago that this would be the first trophy less season for AFC since this website started.

Maybe St Johns? they had the self belief and the ability to hold theyre nerve to take the title in the final week and it is a most deserved title for the Super J's who have been one of the most consisitent teams in turf history, AFC have to settle for 2nd but special attention also has to be paid to Royal Oak, who after a meteoric rise from Div 3 in 5 season have finihsed 3rd in the premier league.

Exiles secured the Div 1 title a few weeks ago but it was CBC who secured 2nd place and bounced straight back to the premier league at the first attempt, they will also have the chance to secure the cup when they play 3rd placed Div 1 team Hangover in the cup final on July 18th.

Dreamteam and Jackpot secured promotion weeks ago but it was the bottom of Div 2 that had the battles and due to a scoreing error in week 20 Aardvark thought they had done enough but in the most cruel of fashions have been relegated to Div 3 on goal difference.

The Div 3 title race came down to the wire and after Eagles drew with Mayo earlier on in the day, top of the league Strollers knew they needed a draw against Kebab but it didnt come easy and a late equaliser eventulally got them the point they deserved and took the title even though they technically failed to win in the last 5 games.

Well done everyone, no games this weekend due to the world cup final but on thr 18th is the plate final between Santos and Sharks and the cup final between CBC and Hangover, anyone wanting friendlies at 3:30 or 4:40 contact Mel.

Dont forget the AGM on the 25th and enjoy the clean sheets/ failure score section on the league tables, this is a sign of what the website will have next season.
