3 Points by default. Disappointing not to play.

Woodcote couldn't put a team out so Rovers collected a 1-0 victory before lending them two players and playing out a 2-2 friendly draw. 

As a result and with Warren playing out a tough 2-1 victory over Carew it's as you were at the top of the table.

The decision has been taken to play out the league with all cancelled games recorded as a 0-0.

It's still up for grabs.

Setting the Pace: Hilliers Athletic 2-5 Grange Rovers

A great game, played on an improving pitch under blue skies, saw Rovers stay joint top and return the same score as Warren Town did in the first match. 

A squad weakened by illness and absence took to the field with the bare minimum 9 players available.  

Tyrell returned in defence and with Hayden missing through illness, Mus was asked to fill in along side the returning player and Jack B. 

Luke looked imposing in goal and the midfield of Jack D, Josh and Dorrell were full of running and linked up well with man of the match Riley and hat-trick hero Alfie. 

The first goal was somewhat fortuitous with a delivery from the right falling to Alfie whose on target strike took a couple of deflections before beating the stranded keeper. Not the cleanest of goals but Alfie wouldn't be a striker if he didn't claim it.

Yellows' response was immediate and caught the defence napping, a chipped through ball, straight from the kick-off found Joe in acres of space and he slotted home to make it one-all.

 The competitive nature of the boys in orange was plain to see in their response to this setback. Affronted by the equaliser, Rovers started to show the steel that had got them back in last week's comeback. As Tyrell started crunching into every tackle, Jack B's more cultured approach brought the midfield into the game. As a pair they work well, when Brad and Chris have an opportunity to team them up with Hayden as a three again they will be as impenetrable as any defence in the league. Mus worked hard and showed bravery and guile in a position which he was wholly unfamiliar with.      

If Jack B was pulling the strings from the back, Riley started dropping deep and made the team tick from midfield bringing Josh and Dorrell into play on the flanks, linking up with Jack D or opening up the Yellow defence with through balls for the speedy Alfie to latch onto.  It was a Riley ball out to the right which brought about the second Orange goal. Josh controlled it well cut in and his powerful cross-shot was turned in with another yellow deflection. A polite and modest Josh declined to celebrate but there was no doubt that it was his goal to claim. 

The third came from a great passing move and great finish from the edge of the box from Riley who deserved a goal as a reward for his endeavour and was, rightly, less modest in his celebrations as the ball hit the roof of the net.  

The second half saw Alfie slot his second and Rovers fourth after a perfectly weighted through-ball from midfield.

Dorrell and Jack D were both hard hardworking in bringing the ball under control in midfield and driving Rovers forward.

 Rovers were unluckily to be caught on the break as Yellows reduced the deficit. But any hope of a recovery was quashed as Alfie fired his third. 

In the closing minutes Luke had a run upfront and caused the defence and goalkeeper all sorts of trouble, especially from set plays.

    

Riley picked up the MOTM award for a fine passing performance, something both his school and Sunday managers have been calling for, and a great goal.
