Great to see Steve back

Get well soon Brian. Hope they open specsavers soon.It's surely an essential service.

[Brian G.]

  I feel  that I must  apologise once again for the lack of reports at the moment.
  Thanks to Ag for doing the FL2. reports for me.
  I hope there is someone in FL1. and FL3. who could do a report which would help me keep this FL going.
  I fear that if this lockdown continues too long I may not be able to carry on with FL without some help from other Managers.

FL3 Final Day

The final game of the season saw a dramatic goal in the race for promotion as Under the Radar clinched an 84th minute equaliser to secure promotion from underneath World United's noses. Knowing they had to get a point from their game against The Seg with World United playing second-bottom Tunneltiger, it was Fletcher Bisceps who proved to be the hero in 1-1 draw away from home. World United may feel hard done-by having only lost 1 game all season but the 10 draws have ultimately cost them in their promotion battle.

Elsewhere Red Star Knights wrapped up their title in style with a 2-0 win over 5th placed Hunt Park Rovers, second placed Rapid Lisboa drew 0-0 in a drab affair with Team Logan John and The Red Dragon consolidated their 8th place finish with a 5-0 victory over Melchester Rovers. At the bottom, Red Stars gained only their 7th point of the season in a 3-3 draw with CS Dunarea Giurgiu. The final game saw a end of season affair end with a 5-0 triumph for The Blurred Crusade over Beeky Blinders. 

Champions: Red Star Knights
Promoted: Rapid Lisboa & Under the Radar

Wooden Spoon: Red Stars
