Three wins out of three.
A strong line up saw three outstanding teams, while the previous winners were rock bottom.
Sassco opened with a heavy defeat v South Shields in the opener. It was 7-1 and it was clear Sassco were in no shape to achieve anything in the subsequent games, considering they’d brought Marc McDermont back out of his fourth retirement (wishing he’d never replied to the text).
A fiery encounter between Castle Park FC and Kurdish FC ended in a narrow win for the latter – Castle Park being 4-2 up at one stage. Tash Harper was in prime voice, and it nearly boiled over afterwards, but was calmed by the referee, Kieran Smith.
Castle Park, still smarting from the defeat easily overcame Sassco, before Kurdish FC, being in pole position, defeated South Shields 6-4. The title was then confirmed when Kurdish FC easily beat Sassco 7-1, in a well deserved win and, for Sassco, a demonstration of the worst defence of a title since Leicester in the Premier League.
The final game between Castle Park and South Shields was academic for the top spot, but ended 6-2 in favour of Castle Park in a keenly contested tournament, which saw Castle Park second, and South Shields third, with Sassco rock bottom.
