So finally, after years of requests, we held the first ever TFM Champions League!
Representatives from Loughton Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays, Wanstead Mondays and Waltham Abbey Thursdays were there

A massive well done to all involved who helped make it a great day!

We had 11 teams in total enter:
Loughton Mondays: YK
Loughton Tuesdays: Starter Pack & EYFC
Loughton Thursdays: Pink Panthers, Conte Ball, The Pandas & Mo Touched Us
Wanstead Mondays: No Attack & Toulouse orNotToulouse
Waltham Abbey Thursdays: Daaa Barry & Todos Los Ballers

Two groups, one with 5, one with 6.
Top two from each group go go the Semis

The semi finals were YK v No Attack and Todos Los Ballers v Pink Panthers
No Attack won with a fine performance while the other game ended 0-0 going to pens, which Pink Panthers won 3-2

So the final was huge, two serial winners in Pink Panthers v No Attack!
Both teams were superb in an end to end game, the score tied at 1-1 it looked to be going all the way to Pens, but Pink Panthers burst away twice on the counter scoring both times to secure the 3-1 win and the first ever Champions League title!

Congratulations to the Pink Panther lads who keep adding to their TFM legacy!

Well done to all teams involved once again

1st: PINK PANTHERS
2nd: NO ATTACK
3rd: TODOS LOS BALLERS

What a season it was at Loughton Tuesdays as we had new Champions in both divisions!

First up the Premiership and STARTER PACK have been getting stronger every season and getting more and more consistent!
After coming close over the last few seasons they finally got it over the line this time round as they went into the last game of the season in a face off against TEDDY FC who are serial league winners and were looking to retain their title once more.
TEDDY needed a win to nick top spot, while STARTER PACK only needed a draw to take the title, in the end it was a classic match in which STARTER PACK won 2-1 in an end to end game of football and finally got their place in TFM History! Congratulations to STACKO and all the Starter Pack lads

In the Championship and debutants YULE UNITED & DP DONS both had superb seasons as they went toe to toe for the title! In fact they were so good they ended up 7 points clear of third and 14 clear of 4th and 5th!

These lads were dominant and ALEX HANLON almost led his side to the title but in the end DP DONS finished runners up 2 points behind JAMES JACKSON’s YULE UNITED side
Both teams deserve an enormous amount of credit after such a fantastic season as they both finished on +30GD as well as both scoring over 40 goals! They even drew 1-1 on match day 9!

They were barely separated but huge congratulations to the winners YULE UNITED: James JACKSON, Ryan BURKIN, Jamie FULLER, Toby HAWES, Hugh JONES, Tom JORDAN, Jack LODGE, Josh MILLS, Jake RUDD & Dan ERRINGTON

We have new CHAMPIONS in both divisions after another brilliant season at the sensational Eton Manor 4G in Wanstead!

Congratulations to the new Premiership Champions: TOULOUSE OR NOTTOULOUSE!
Chris DURCAN has set up a consistent good group of lads who play for the badge and have got stronger with every season, and this season they looked to stop the relentless NO ATTACK who had won it the previous 2 seasons in a row! No easy feat but they did it on the final day of the season as they faced off against each other in a winner takes all match, love an end to the season like this!
TOULOUSE held strong as they got a narrow 1-0 win to create scenes and memories which last a lifetime!
Congratulations to all the TOULOUSE lads: Chris DURCAN, Dylan FRIDAY, Sufyan MUKHTAR, Gabriel GEORGIOU, Aron FONTENELLE, Cam MUTALE, Agostinho DE SOUSA JUNIOR, Kafui AKPOKAVI, Alif GRIMM, Rahul KALRA & MOHAMMED

Commiserations to Owen JACOBS NO ATTACK who finished runners up this time round but are looking forward to this new added competition!

In the Championship and Congratulations to Dilan GJECAJ’s QUEENS PARK STRANGERS who in their second season shocked the world of football at Eton Manor as they went from finishing bottom in their first season to winning it in their second in true fairy tale stuff, reminiscent of Leicester Citys Premiership win! These lads won the title a point ahead of Saleem KIDIYA’s SK DONS side who had a late title push but ended up being enough for promotion but just short of the silverware

Well done the Strangers: Dilan GJECAJ, Aidan EDWARDS, Theo COURIE, Harry LEA ODDY, Aaron CAMBELL, Charles SCANLON, Terry PANAYIOTIS, Teddy BEAVIS, Ronan READING & Marjan GJECAJ

Kaine THOMPSON’s FAKE MADRID team finished in third after a strong start they fell away a bit and ended up 5 points outside the promotion places
Tim PASSEY’s PASSEYAGGRESSIVE finished in 4th, but these lads when they have a full side are dangerous and will be looking to improve this time round and go a few better to get another taste of the top flight!
Oscar OLMEDILLAS lads GEORGES FINEST were in 5th as they had a mixed season, we are all wishing Oscar WICKS a speedy recovery as well!
MSR had a tough first season as it takes time to get up to speed sometimes when joining but Shafiq ABIDIN’s family team are a great group of lads and I’m sure they will continue to improve and more importantly enjoy the run out each week

Thanks to all involved again, a superb season and lets make the next one just as good!

Another season of top quality strong competitive divisions, big games every week as we ended up with two new champions!

First up and a huge congratulations to YK!
These lads have been hunting this since moving over to Mondays, Skipper Jamie PARMAN has been dreaming of this moment and never gave up hope, and this time they finally got their hands on the big one, the hardest one of all to win as they became only the 7th team in the leagues long history to win it, but they made it hard work at the end as they hit a blip but managed to get it over the line with victory on the final day to win it by 2 points with a healthy +29GD, total points 29
Well done to all the YK lads: Jamie PARMAN, Ben AVERY, Jaspar CARR, Liam FOSTER, George CLARKE, Tommie HOBAN, Joffe BRADLEY, Sam AYLOTT & Matt KOCZAN

In second place was Sam BARRETT’s THEYDON GREEN 6s as they had a much better season and finished strongly only 2 points behind YK with a strong GD of +23, total points 27.

Just behind them in third by a point was Mark WRIGHT’s 2-time winners JE3 on 26 points who also finished strongly while Matt STRATTON’s ESSEX ELITE were in fourth on 22 points as they led earlier on in the season but a string of results against them ultimately cost them the big one

Dan PRIME’s ALL TALK finished in fifth on 18 points, the lads are getting stronger every season and will look to build on this, while Max HOCKLEY’s JEWISH JOHNS ARMY finished just above the drop zone on 14 points as they started to get some better results in the latter half of the season as they get used to the speed of the big time

In the Championship and AINT A CHRIS TING stormed the division only slowing down towards the end as they ended up finishing level on points at the top taking it on goal difference, as at one point they looked like they could do the season unbeaten but consistency ended up slowing them down, but a huge achievement for the lads as they get promoted to the Prem for the first time in their history, Congratulations to Jack CURTIS, Aston WEAVER, Aston MOORE, Callum OSBORNE, Lenny HUNT, Josh TRUMAN, James YEOMAN, Luke HARRIS, Billy BECKETT & Harry CAIN

BAYER NEVERLOSEN put in a superb effort as they finished in second only due to being -9 goals behind the winners, a bitter pill to swallow but Sam BIGGS lads can be proud of an unbelievable season which sees them promoted to the big time for the first time in their history as they look to have a go at the next challenge!
In third and Jake DANIELs KEPAMINE FC side finished with the best GD of +16 5 points outside the top two, on joint points was Niall COUGHLAN’s JEWVENTUS who have been superb since joining as they joined midway through so can be proud of their record since joining

In 5th two points behind was James DEANEY’s GET HAMMERED side who started off well but slipped away, when these boys have a full side they are a match for most teams.

Josh WINTLE’s 3 WINGS FOR A POUND in 6th as they look to build on this now after an influx of January transfer window signings!

Sad news as long term side HAVENT GOT A KALOU decided to hang the boots up after being an ever present since the league formed, originally started by Jack EWING which was then taken over by Callum CAIRNEY its never nice to lose a well organised and good set of lads, they had one season in the Prem but have been flirting with promotion regularly but have just seen numbers dropping as some go travelling, injuries, moving out the area and mrs thumbs coming down meant they had little choice but to give early notice that they would be calling it a day.

Thanks to all involved again who have made it another brilliant season

What an end to the DEBDEN MONDAYS season as DOG HOUSE ROVERS and MAGNERS RETURN came face to face in a winner takes all showdown for the title

MAGNERS have had a tremendous season as they continue to get stronger and stronger and while the score was level they would of taken the title home for the first time in their history!

It wasn’t to be though as DOG HOUSE ROVERS dug in deep and managed to nick a winner late in the game to retain the title winning it for the second time.

Well played to both sides in what was a great game of football and Congratulations to the champs: DOG HOUSE ROVERS: Mikey O’KANE, Marc DORRINGTON, Barry NOONAN, Paul NOONAN, Neil CROSBY, Nick CHRYSANTHOU, Graham SMITH, Luke GUTTRIDGE & Albert HELLEN

Commiserations to MAGNERS RETURN but well done to all the lads on a superb season

Ones to watch DEBDEN are improving every week and finished in 3rd after their best season to date and no doubt will be challengers in the new season

Well done to all the lads on what was another enjoyable season
A bit of sad news is that long time 6 a siders VALLEY PARK FC folded, VALLEY PARK have been in the leagues since pretty much the start of TFM having joined shortly after the first Chigwell league formed over 10 years ago!
We are sad to see them have to stop but a lack of players, retirements and injuries meant the writing has been on the wall for the past few seasons and well done to Pete TURNER who has worked tirelessly to make his side a successful one over the years winning multiple league titles along the way!

Another superb season at TFM as 7UP won their third Premiership title in a row after some early fine form ensured they finished the season 3 points clear of second placed STARTER PACK FC who enjoyed their best season to date and will be looking to go one better in the new season no doubt!
NITTO FC finished in third after putting together a strong second half of the season, skipper Harry SNOW will be looking to build on this while TEDDY FC & PROPER 12 both struggled with consistency at times but wasn’t too far behind the other three as they both will be looking forward to the fresh start as the latter has new management
Huge congratulations to the departing 3 time Champs 7UP!
Skipper, Sam BALMFORTH, with Joe HARRIS, Jack HARRIS, Jack BEDDALL, Luke PIKE, Joe BUSBY, Ross JEFFREY, Mike BENTLEY, Sam BENTLEY and Louis PICKSTON

Well done to Tom GOODLAND’S CTRL ALT DE LAET side who also get promoted to the big time for the first time in their history after a strong season and could be the darkhorse in the Prem in the new season!

Congrats to all the BUCKHURST HILL HAMMERS lads on bagging the trophies and their silver boots:
Harry LAMBERT, Tom OSMOND, Will OSMOND, Elliot SWORDS, Georgie SMITH, Jack DENNING, Jake ROBERTS & Asher COCHRANE

sMASHing achievement lads: James BRANCH, Conor DAVIS, Riki LAIRD, Chris HINSON, Joe HINDMARSH, Fred HINDMARSH, Callum BRAZIER, Ant MCGRAFT, Jack CHAPMAN & Grant OSBORN

In second place having joined a few games in was DRILLYGZ, these boys were on fire since joining only losing once and finishing 3 points behind the league champs and they get promoted in their first season, great achievement and will add to an already strong Premiership division

In third and EAST END FC are getting stronger every season and no doubt will be challenging for the Champ title this season, as will NIGEL UNITED who have been on a fantastic run recently!
INTER YANAN will be hoping for a bit more consistency while RAGGO UTD having just joined will be looking forward to the new season

Well done to all involved on another enjoyable season

UNBELIEVABLE JEFF! NO ATTACK made history at Wanstead Mondays becoming the most successful club in the leagues history taking their 3rd successive Premiership title moving one ahead of Ball of Duty who won it twice #3PEAT
Can they keep this historic record going and capture another?
Wont be easy in what will be another competitive season to come!

It wasn’t easy as TOULOUSEORNOTTOULOUSE ran them close with their best season to date finishing in second place on 20 points, 3 behind No Attack!

In the Championship and congratulations to WANSTONIA who took the title for the first time in their history just nabbing it by one win ahead of TODGA UNITED!
Congrats to TODGA UNITED who return to the big time under new management after a solid season

New lads SK DONS finished just outside the promotion places but will certainly be looking to challenge now in their first full season

PASSEYAGGRESSIVE finished mid table having put in some impressive performances they will be looking to build on this for the new season

FAKE MADRID & QUEENS PARK STRANGERS in their first full seasons adjusted well to the league and will be looking to continue to move forward after starting to find their feet in 6 a side

WE HAVE NEW DEBDEN SUPERLEAGUE CHAMPIONS!
For the first time in their history DOG HOUSE ROVERS claim the title in emphatic style obliterating most who stood in their way finishing the season winning 9 out of 10 only losing once while scoring 54 and only conceding 15 so a GD of +39 and 8 points clear of second placed AFC CARDINALS!
Finishing in third the ever improving MAGNERS RETURN, while A FIVER SHORT suffered from inconsistent sides to finish in 4th.
VALLEY PARK FC lost a number of players due to various different reasons and suffered due to this, currently on the lookout for a couple of ballers if anyone is interested give us a shout!
And DEBDEN DEMONS continue to improve season on season

Another great season, if you’re interested in entering a team into the DEBDEN MONDAYS over 29s league give us a shout as a space is opening up soon!

Well done again to the league winners! They may be in the Dog House but it was worth it
Congratulations to DOG HOUSE ROVERS:

Mikey O’KANE, Marc DORRINGTON, Neil CROSBY, Paul NOONAN, Alex GRUAR, Nick CHRYSANTHOU, Barry NOONAN & Albert HELLEN

We have NEW PREMIERSHIP CHAMPIONS!
For the first time in their history – TEXAS OLDHAM have done it and won the big one!
No easy feat, especially when they didn’t have a settled side for most of the season!
Skipper Tom PARSONS worked tirelessly to get the numbers in each week as most of his squad were long term injured or had relocated, but with Jordan GRACE in goal it meant they continued to have a chance as Texas conceded the joint lowest total in the league!
With an +18GD and finishing 6 points clear a huge congratulations to Tom PARSONS, Jordan GRACE, Will WEIGHTMAN, Liam FOSTER and the rest of the lads who contributed to a remarkable season!

YK ended the season 6 points behind finishing as runners up after a strong season finishing on 30 points, while Matt STRATTON’s ESSEX ELITE & THEYDON GREEN run by Sam BARRETT came three points behind each on 27!

Mark WRIGHT’S JE3 and JUDGIE’s OH EAST LONDON sides both suffered at times from inconsistency while Dan PRIME’S ALL TALK can beat anyone on their day while we have new management due taking over KEPAMINE FC as they look forward to the new season in the Championship!

In the Championship and debutants MUGSVILLE FC were pretty dominant as they finished 8 points clear at the top with a +21 GD, winning 10 out of 14!

No doubt these lads will be challenging for that Prem title if they can keep a regular side together

Congratulations to all the MUGSVILLE FC lads: Jacob RICHARDS, Nakhue AZ, Harry MASLIN, Lloyd GULLIFER, Casey LOCKHART, Alfie BINET, ZIAD, Micah NEWTON, Joe MARJ & Louie COOPER

Also a shout out to JEWISH JOHNS ARMY who finished in runners up and get promoted to the Premiership. These lads when at full strength are a very good side!
Congratulations to Max HOCKLEY, Logan SIMMONDS and all the lads on the Promotion back to the big time!

Remarlo RAPIER’s S6 DONS put in a great season as they continue to improve, finishing 3 points behind, as did new look CHARLTON NON-ATHLETIC as Joe REYNOLDS continues to add some good new additions to his side!
Sam BIGGS Bayer Neverlosen started well but fell away, nevertheless putting in some superb performances, as did Josh WINTLE & Eral CHOLI’s 3 wings for a pound who continue to reshape their sides.

James DEANEYs Get Hammered team are capable of beating anyone on their day and are starting to gradually find their feet while Callum CAIRNEY’s Haven’t got a Kalou will be looking to have a strong season now they have some of their regulars back!

Looking forward to what I’m sure will be another top season at Loughton Mondays and once again thanks to all who took part in making it such an enjoyable league and season!
