An evenly fought contest between two good sides!
Merton Court started the game very strongly, scoring within the first ten minutes of the game from a fantastic strike from Joshua who turned two defenders in the box before calmly slotting the ball home. Louie and Artie dictated the game for most of the first half and their commanding presence at the back meant that Merton Court went into half time with a deserved 1-0 lead.
The second half saw Bickley Park have the majority of the possession and they peppered the Merton Court goal mouth for most of the early stages of the half and if it had not been for two fantastic saves in quick succession from Tom the game would have been level. Despite the relentless defending from Merton Court, Bickley Park finally had their equaliser after a scramble in the box saw the opposition’s striker bundle the ball home. Merton Court dominated the final five minutes of the encounter and Louie almost won his side the game with a strike from 20 yards just clearing the goalkeeper’s crossbar. A fair result well played!

A very close encounter between two local sides. The result could have gone either way. Some heroic keeping from skipper Archie and resolute defending from Joshua, Tyler, Hudson and Max kept the scores level for much of the game.
Only for a lack of concentration and a huge kick from the Farringtons keeper; saw the ball bounce over the Merton Court defenders’ heads into the path of the Farringtons centre forwards to slide home the winner with only minutes to go.
A physical game on the whole. Merton Court now need to improve their resilience and maintain their desire to win the ball throughout the whole game and also convert their chances into goals.

Results: Lost 2-4
Player(s) of the match: Harrison
Captain (s): Archie
A great game of football to watch with excellent skills and determination on show from both teams.
Bickley Park took the lead only for the tireless Harrison to race down the wing on the counter attack. After cutting inside he pulled the ball back to Damien to equalise with a first time shot.
Bickley scored another two goals only for Damien managing to complete his brace. In the dying moments George nearly round off an amazing comeback only for a fine save from the Bickley Park keeper. In the final Bickley Park attack, they managed to seal their victory with a well taken breakaway goal.
Special mentions must go to Hudson who filled in for injured Goalkeeping Skipper Archie. Joshua for another great defensive display and a Man of the Match performance from Harrison who constantly posed a threat to the Bickley Park defence while managing to consistently track back to help his own.

A solid performance from the whole team. S3 players stepped up and made their case to be selected for the Semi-Final.
Joshua was fantastic in marshalling the defence, keeping the powerful attack of St Peter Chanel at bay.
Mahaan managed to score a brace, with the winner coming in the dying moments of the game.
Harrison must have covered every played of grass on what was a big pitch for a 7-a-side fixture.
An enjoyable game and a lot to look forward to.

A brilliant game of football. Even though we conceded two penalties we managed to defend with grit and make lots of chances in attack. A much improved team performance with a great individual winner from Zhechko with limited time remaining.
Jack and Reis had great strength in the tackle nullifying the attacking opportunities for St Christopher’s.
