MASSIVE SHOCK FOR ACES

There was a massive shock during week 10 of the Back’o’TheNet Brigg Five-a-Side Football League when previous leaders The Aces came crashing back down to earth as they were thumped 4-0 by a Darren Britcliffe-inspired Hardly Athletic.
Britcliffe, who contested the early scoring charts with Danny Wraith, had gone through a lean spell in front of goal, but he hit all four against The Aces as Hardly leapfrogged Grumpy Old Men to move into fourth place.
Brigg Alliance took advantage of the Aces' slip-up as they beat a rapidly improving Brigg Fire Brigade 3-1.
Kelvin Brown was back amongst the goals for Alliance as he scored twice to take his season's tally to seven and Rob Cavil added the third to take his team back to the top of the table after a six week absence.
Craig Dawson smashed home Brigade’s consolation, leaving his side still searching for their first win of the season, but recent performances suggest that may not be far away.
And finally, The Marras came out on top of a tense affair with another hugely improved side in Grumpy Old Men. Phil Cole, Phil Davies and Joe Hastings did the damage for the Marras, but a double from Gammage made the title contenders sweat before finally seeing the game out.
The Marras now sit in third place, just two points off the top.
