OFLM division 1 Round-up
Division 1 - Week 2 Preview.
After an interesting first week the OFLM’s elite league comes back with some mouth-watering ties for Week 2.
First up its Pete Cross and his Scrutlington Rovers side. They came back from the dead at Perfect City last week and now they face Matt Peters FC West Leigh. It’s already being dubbed as a super tie and both managers know that 3 points would be a big, big coup for early dominance in the division. Whist a draw would stop Scrutlington from getting into their stride it would slow down FC West Leigh’s early pace which has been a key to their huge success in recent years.
Prediction – Draw
Mad man Milo Dunne still believes his side are top 3 material but this week he’s up against Ben Walker’s Perfect City. Both these sides’ squandered leads last week and both these sides will not accept a draw this week. It’s been dubbed win or bust early on for two great pretenders to the league title. Good starts were required and Milo Dunne’s excuse last week was blaming a secret code for his side squandering a lead to Spartak. Ben Walker on the other hand tore his hair out as Scrutlington came back when it seemed the perfect start for City.
Prediction – Perfect City Win
Mark Griffiths will be hoping to set an early pace against newly promoted Cornish Revolution. Chris Conway already has done the Incredibles a big favour by dispatching early league title favourites Anfield Ducks 2-1 on the opening day of the season. He will be hoping to grab more unexpected points this week but knows full well that it is a hard task against one of the most feared teams in the history of OFLM.
Prediction – Incredibles Win
Olympic Milan will be hoping to add early misery onto Lorne Rangers as well as get one last crack ast the league title underway. A good 6-3 win over Wyndamvale last week along with Lorne’s shocking 5-2 defeat home defeat leaves the pundits and the bookies slashing odds on an Olympic Milan win. Already the best figures in the markets show that many punters are going for the 9.5 goals or more option.
Prediction – Olympic Milan Win
Despite the glamour ties and big clubs games Real Revolution have a real chance to go top in the league, if only for a week. They play Johnny Walkers Dukla Pumpherston and another win against the so-called league whipping boys is surely on the cards to add to their great 5-2 victory last week. A big result could propel them to the summit of the league and it would give manager Michael Lippett the satisfaction of saying “I was top once,”… every managers dream.
Prediction - Real Revolution Win
Adi Burke’s men are away to Wyndamvale Wombats and being dubbed as a crucial 3 points early on by the visitors suggests that Burke’s side are looking to slot into mid table security from a very early stage. The Wombats know they can score goals and will be looking to pepper Spartak with everything they have just they cannot defend against quality as was evident last week against Milan.
Prediction - Draw
FC Palace were unlucky last week whilst The Dublin Dominators were hammered. Coming up as Champions is one thing but against a sturdy side like Palace should prove a tough test for newly promoted home team. Mark McConnell knows points against the mid table sides are vital in the Dominators quest for survival and Richard Mortimer knows that three points against relegation fodder is a must in his quest for mid-table sticking about.
Prediction – Palace Win
And Finally Tower of Revolution’s manager Dan James is looking closely at the situation regarding Anfield Ducks manager Andy Docherty. His whereabouts remain a mystery and it has already had a massive effect last week. The Ducks the early favourites lost to Cornish Revolution a side they should be beating and this week they face T.O.R another side they should be beating. If they squander points at this one it could be all but over for the early league favourites. Dan James on the other hand smells blood and is hoping for a positive result in his sides struggle for survival which has started well with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Dukla Pumpherston last week.
Prediction – Anfield Ducks Win (If Docho gets his act together!)

OFLM division 2 Round-up
Coolios Ace Whilst Breffni give Lords the Blues.
A couple of the main contenders for promotion to Division 1 unveiled themselves this week, as both AC Coolios and Breffni Blues registered big wins to send them to the top two places in the table.
Coolios’ mixture of youth and experience took full advantage of a Dublin side missing a recognised keeper, to thrash them 8-0; with Venturo Foxe grabbing half the goals to make him the early leader of the Divisional top scorers. “The manager has had a plan for the side for quite a while”, Foxe said after the game, “I’m happy to be part of the plan, and happy to be part of a promotion push.”
Kenneth Dobbinson’s 5-1 victory at The Dark Lords was all the more impressive, not simply because it was away from home against another promotion contender, but because manager Kenneth Dobbinson completely tactically out-thought old FLM warhorse Stuart Williams. Club chairman Gwyn Evans spoke after the game of Dobbinson’s importance to the club: “he’s the most talented Kenneth I know”, his Chairman gushed.
Surprise of the day was possibly that there was not a single draw in the Division. Dubai Dessert and Falkirk Hotspur looked destined to share the spoils until young superstar Luke Mitchell popped up in the 85th minute with an exquisite chip. “The manager told us to sit back, but I was having none of it. I’m a better player than Stewart Stanfield ever was,” Mitchell bragged. Mitchell’s relationship with his manager looks like a headline maker for the rest of the season.

OFLM division 3 Round-up
Division 3 prepares for the run-in.
WITH two-thirds of the season gone, it’s looking like a four-way battle for promotion at the top of division three.
Villa Stripes are setting a blistering pace in pole position with a monumental sequence of 11 wins opening up a comfortable gap at the summit.
Chief chasers are VS Khorosho whose goal-getting power has kept them in contention for an automatic promotion place. The Horrors are averaging nearly seven goals a game and have bagged 37 more than any side in the whole league.
But early season favourites Los Gringos must still be considered likely to finish in the top two despite a mid-season wobble, which has seen them win only half of their last 12 games.
Seven Sisters are also very much in the mix and boss Jason Franklin has compiled a deep and experienced squad.
Liberty City, The Toto Project and Auckland United look like fighting it out for the remaining two play-off spots although Lewes Fireflies and Aero Galaxy will be hoping to say something about that with a late bid for glory.
At the other end of the table, Aussie Built AFC are rooted to the foot of the table and need a miracle to escape the drop.
But it will be a tense scrap for survival for several other sides.
Barry Bears FC and Barton Revolution would be shocked to fall through the relegation trapdoor but have struggled despite strong squads.
And Goalpost FC were among the early season tips for promotion but have been crippled by injuries although manager Steve Brown has now finally cleared the casualty list.
Daniel Perry has invested heavily in youngsters at Kincardine Loyal but he will be hoping that youthful exuberance and the goals of on-loan striker Cormack Morola will be enough to fire them to safety.

OFLM division 4 Round-up
Division Four Sees Red!
This week saw a bizarre six red cards in eight games as the league appears to be taking shape for the final run-in.
In the battle of third vs second, Dragon Revolution were the victors with a 3-1 win over Thames Water Works at Sai Kung Phoenix. It wasn\'t plain sailing though, as Thames Water Works took the lead after only five minutes through Ferris. Magical equalised for Dragon less than a minute later, however, although the game could have gone either way until Ronaldo\'s 76th minute strike supplemented Klutz\'s 39th minute penalty.
Christchurch maintained their momentum at the top of the table with a 4-0 win at home to Tassie Tigers in a game that saw the Tigers\' midfielder Pedr Armstrong, filling in at the back, sent off after only 17 minutes for a second bookable offence. In truth Christchurch should have scored more, but manager Guy Walsh was happy with the result: “Games against the likes of Tassie are always potential banana skins so I\'m pleased we maintained our focus and saw out the game. It was good for Mathew (Edwards) to get on the score sheet again too. He might be 35 but he could still teach Tolstoy\'s strikers a thing or two.”
Hawker\'s manager Brian Byrne was happy with his team\'s second 8-0 victory in two weeks. When asked after the game, Byrne was very quick to gloat: “We got a hiding from FC Vikings at the start of the season before I took over so was nice to return the favour ha.” Vikings manager Steve McQueen will not be happy with a run of form that has now seen his team concede a total of 34 goals in their last four matches. Vikings also had midfielder Chris Auckland dismissed in the 71st minute to rub salt into their wounds.
Ity Bity Allstars secured a 1-0 win at home to Deportivo Azrael thanks to Graham Garrick\'s 25th minute goal. In a match with more open play than its scoreline suggests, Deportivo also had Eugene Patel dismissed in the 84th minute. Ity Bity manager Rob Newman was gracious in defeat: “That was a cracking result. James Hamilton deserves alot of credit as he has got them playing some great football and has only lost 1-0 away to two of the top four in recent weeks. We haven\'t given up on Automatic promotion but Dragon and Christchurch seem unstoppable at the moment.”
Radford Love Rockets continued their revival under Joe English with a 3-1 win at home to faltering De Oranje Leger. Nestor, Gunner and Tehenin did the damage for Radford, while star striker Cian Martin pulled one back for De Oranje Leger, who suffered the 66th minute sending-off of Kerry Davies.
Jumper, Edwards and Gray got the goals for Saxon Star FC in a 3-0 home win over sorry Blackheath Bulldogs, who now look like certainties for the wooden spoon in division four.
Tolstoy Dynamo suffered what manager Matthew Myatt can only hope is a temporary setback, losing 1-0 at home to Athletico Baghdad, who had Hansome Allen sent off in second half injury time. The result is Tolstoy\'s second 1-0 loss in two weeks and Myatt is starting to point the finger at his strikers: “Athletico Baghdad employed the smash and grab tactics excellently tonight to deservedly win. I\'ve got no complaints - especially since I\'ve used those tactics quite effectively myself over the last two seasons. My strikers need to take a long hard look at themselves - it\'s not good enough!”
WBA Baracus renewed their play-off push with a 4-2 win over Tweedside Satans. Zapel and Yzerman scored either side of a brace from Danny Marks, with Wynne and Briggs replying for Tweedside. Young WBA defender JC Cool joined the ranks of those taking early baths this week after his dismissal just before half-time for a second bookable offence.
