Tuesday I decided to take in as many games as was possible at Kent Street and Second Avenue.I started at Kent St with Willows Chinese vs. UTM.A close tight game to half time with Willows just edging it 1-0.Second half everything changed, Willows scored a couple, UTM had to chase the game and in doing so let themselves vulnerable to counter attack.One exquisite touch from Shane (Willows) is worth special mention.I long throw out was cushioned to team mate Aussie who, give the touch the respect it deserved by placing it in the back of the net.Final score 7-3.

Inter almost made it 100% but was denied by a 9-3 loss to close rivals Kent St in second last game.
NorthSomercotesAcademy and ECGS played out one of
the best games I have seen this year, they can both take big scalps and will give no
one an easy week.
Grimsby Jets & Everglaze will have several new players
and are unknown quantities going into League III, which leaves the bottom 2 Futsal Warriors and
Immingham, both gained points during League II so are capable of results. Several times Warriors have looked to have
turned the corner with great wins, Immingham have access to some serious
futsal players; can they get them there every week?
Watch this space.
Winners awards for all competitions will be presented at Annual Presentation night during August brea
On a regular basis I get told I make a fortune from the Leagues, to the point that I start believing it and head down to test drive the latest Ferrari.
The League incurs many expenses players don't see; I got one this week that I did not anticipate; I sent a cheque to the Lincolnshire Football Association for £265 (53 team affiliation fees at £5 per team). I received it back, would I send £530 as team affiliation has gone up to £10 per team! My previous cheque was £1200 for futsal balls! Referee fees, venues costs, LFA League affiliation fees; anyone want a Futsal League?
Charges like this can be incorporated within the £20 match fee; just. Failure to pay in full or cancelling games at the cost of losing both teams match fees is the thing to jeopardize having 2 officials per game. It's down to all teams to be well organised to prevent this happening. Teams managers are supporting me, players you need to be 100% behind your team manager, give him support, have back up players for those weeks you are short, don't leave it all to one person.
Enjoy your game.
PS> Does anyone know someone who travels to and from Birmingham with a van or lorry that could transport my purchase of futsal balls back to Grimsby, very helpful if someone could help.

I am assured remedial work has been finished so floodlite futsal can resume; further major repairs are planned.
Thank you for your patience.

New Futsal Court to Open Grimsby
Written by Kevin Bryant
Saturday, 20 September 2008
Line markings will be in place 1st October; the new venue will give greater flexibility with fixtures, unfortunately we will only have the venue initially Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday, Thursday teams without fixtures can now be accommodated but it will mean playing odd games on a 'wrong' night.
The Council has made the repair of floodlights at Kent St a priority issue, so expect full league programme to resume soon.
More to follow.
Teams that play within the rules and avoid conflict have nothing to fear and nothing to pay!

ME?
Referees are required to be affiliated to the LFA and as
such are required by the LFA to report all serious misconduct to them. Failure to report an incident will see the
referee removed from the LFA list of accredited officials.
Saxons went into Wednesday fixture with 6 straight defeats, asked to
play back to back games they could easily have said 1 is enough, as it
was the team accepted the challenge and was richly rewarded. 4-2
against AFC Trawl was a sound start, but then to beat 3rd placed Heta
(5-3) was a real bonus.
Wednesday League teams have everything to play for as teams are
already causing each other problems, the top 3 Inter, Expressions, and
Heta have all won 4 games each, but all dropped points. The only team
with a 100% record - Harvest have no games under their belt.
Tuesday is as tight, just look at these 4 mouth watering fixtures on one night.
El Dogoes v Auditorium
Littlefields v Paragon
Wolf Wanderers v Globetrotters
StreetSoccer v Whakker
Littlefields look the only stone wall favorites, but without Callum Blythe this could well change.
Monday night's Premier League is just warming up with teams having each
played an uneven number of games; Fulstow Rovers and Harvest are the
only teams 100%. Fulstow are playing with attitude, watch this

Problems at Kent St!!
Written by Kevin Bryant
Saturday, 06 September 2008
My apologies to Kent Street teams for problems that are beyond my control. Tuesday 4 teams would have arrived to find the no referees and the lights off. The lights never went on! Kent Street management have been having ongoing problems with the floodlights that have recently been repaired, unfortunately when they were switched on on Tuesday nothing happened. By the time I got to know about the problem it was to late to stop teams travelling, my apologies. I am told the problem is major but that I will be updated daily as to progress, first 2 games we can play in current day light, the second 2 are the problem. Watch this space for updates.
