Amber Lounge 3 - 0 Hormbrey's butchers

What a performance.
Stag do, Dom gets injured, we reshuffle etc.. but we simply outclassed our opponents with a brand of football rarely seen at this level.
We were under siege for the last 15 but we weathered the storm with some fine goalkeeping from Mr Chandler. Tom ashley, K Dalton and an own goal were enough to see us home.

MR FC 6 v 2 Amber Lounge

One of the worst performances in franchise history.

Started ok, fairly solid. MR FC get two quick goals from deflections and the wheels completely fall off!

Thankfully MR FC went down to 6 and Amber Lounge scored a couple of goals (shaun layland & Keiron dalton) to claw back some respectability.

Weaver Vale United 4 - 3 Amber Lounge

The bogey team strikes again. Amber lounge (clearly superior on paper) always seem to struggle against weaver vale.
Goals again from Tom ashley and Shaun layland were not enough to keep the winning run going.

Amber Lounge 3 - 1 Rojac

Difficult start to the season against a 2nd division side from last season, but they were dispatched with quick interplay and clinical finishing.

Tom Ashley and Shaun Layland banging in the goals early on in the season.

Richard Pace

1.Team you support? The mighty Liverpool (of course)
2.Favourite goal (not one of yours)? (no need for the plural for me when you say not one of yours). Gerrard vs Olympiakos or Gerrard vs West Ham… That’s of course if you mean favourite due to the emotion of it, not necessarily the greatest goals of all time. I’m going with Gerrard vs Olympiakos – don’t think I’ve ever celebrated a goal as much as that (I think I’ve only ever celebrated a penalty miss more and that was of course Shevchenko’s)
3.Favourite footballer?It’s a tale of 4 footballers with me… watching the vids of King Kenny, then growing up with Johnny Barnes, moving on to God in his glory days, before Stevie G… My final answer is Stevie G
