Inter almost made it 100% but was denied by a 9-3 loss to close rivals Kent St in second last game.

North Somercotes Academy 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?

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.

Kent St will return to 4 matches a night - Monday 30th September.

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

Thank you for your patience. 

El Dogoes 2008 Tuesday League  Champions, in the days the lights worked!

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.
