INDOOR FOOTIE UPDATE

Brigg Alliance cemented their place at the top of the league being played at the Vale of Ancholme sports hall, on Grammar School Road, following a 5-2 victory over the Brigg Fire Brigade.
With Alliance leading 1-0, the Fire Brigade put up a stern resistance and did well to frustrate the league leaders, but a controversial second goal for Alliance was quickly followed by a third which effectively ended the game.
The Fire Brigade came back into it and goals from Sam Horton and Tom Francis gave them hope, but Alliance added two more to keep their 100 per cent record in tact. Hot on their heels are The Marras who thrashed Grumpy Old Men 6-1 with debutant Phil Cole grabbing a brace in what was a feisty third game of the evening, Baz Shrimpton netted Grumpy’s consolation in the second half.
The Aces continued their impressive start to the season after beating Hardly Athletic 4-1. Danny Wraith hit a double to take his season’s tally to six and there were also solitary strikes from Tom Morwood and Kev Goodson.
The deadly Darren Britcliffe inevitably scored Hardly’s goal in what was a disappointing result for them. In the only other game of the evening, Benchwarmers kept up the pressure at the top of the table as they came from behind to beat Dynamo Chicken Kiev 2-1. Kiev lead through Ashley Gadie’s early goal, but a stirring fight back from Benchwarmers resulted in goals from Davis and Bingham which kept up their unbeaten run.
