Beta Phase 3 Season Concludes
Phase 3 of the beta came to an end on Thursday evening and the final matchday of the season did not disappoint.
Division 1 was won by the mighty Pen City (was there ever any doubt?). Pen lost just one of their 22 matches. Div 1’s golden boot was won by Pen’s very own Nathaniel Russell who bagged 19 goals.
Panthers’ owner Mozza shared some interesting stats on his title-winning campaign:
Division 2 League 2 was won by Eton Town, as 2nd-place Newcehaxmuns Rangers stumbled at the final hurdle, losing four of their final five matches.
With one point separating the two sides, it was 1st taking on 2nd on the final day of the Division 2 League 3 season as Padley Villa hosted Bromber Town at Crogatton Stadium. Padley's Marlin Jacob scored the only goal of the game in second-half stoppage time to secure the title in dramatic style.
Division 3 Winners 🏆
Division 3 League 4: Hington-un Athletic. Hington-un finished the season off in style with a comfortable 5-0 in front of their home supporters.
Division 3 League 5: Newsby Birch. Commiserations to Wesham Rovers who would've won the title with a win but ended up losing 6-1.
Division 3 League 6: Marmer. A special mention for Kin-Ten Stanley's 9-0 thrashing of bottom-side Otley Wanderers.
