TEXAS OLDHAM, MUGSVILLE FC & JEWISH JOHNS ARMY – LOUGHTON MONDAY SEASON REVIEW

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!

Wow! What a season once again and huge congrats to the now 5-time Premiership Champs – PINK PANTHERS!

Congratulations to all the Panthers lads: Luke DIMOND, Ben DIMOND, Jack SMITH, Sam MAY, Sean O’REGAN, Cane SULLIVAN, Bayley CLARKE, Liam DALY, Will HUDSON, George MILLER & Sam JARVIS

In second place were Premiership debutants – SONIC BOOM who no doubt will be looking to go one better this season after some impressive results this season

In the Championship and it was a three-horse race in what was an intriguing season with some superb football on display!
In the end it went down to the final game of the season and amazingly in which THE PANDAS in second played MICKS MINIONS who were in third, a point behind the leading two!
THE PANDAS played superb with a comprehensive win, knowing that it was going down to GD between them and STOW FC!

STOW FC in their first full season won 6-0 to ensure they kept top spot and won the title with a difference of two goals!!

Records as follows:
1. STOW FC – W8 D1 L1 GF48 GA10 GD38 PTS25
2. THE PANDAS – W8 D1 L1 GF52 GA16 GD36 PTS25

Both these sides get promoted and deserve a huge congratulations and commiserations to Joe LEEVES men, THE PANDAS who rightly would feel gutted, as usually their record this season would have been enough to take the silverware! Remember the Man City-Liverpool classic title race…. This was the amateur version!

7UP & NITTO FC – LOUGHTON TUESDAYS SEASON REVIEW

Another top season on Tuesday nights at Loughton in both divisions as 7UP took their 2nd Premiership title after a poor first few games by their standards they put in some excellent performances for the second half of the season winning 5 in a row!
The form of keeper Joe BUSBY in goal and Luke PIKE up top were two of the big reasons they fought back to the top to take the title.
BUSBY literally stopped everything, while PIKE scored 5 goals a game for 5 weeks in a row, including all the goals against big rivals and runners up TEDDY FC!
TEDDY FC finished in second place after a strong season in which they were top scorers on 61 goals scored! 7UP top GD on +26 with Teddy in second on +25
STARTER PACK FC are always a threat and will be hoping to mount a serious title challenge after finishing in third
PROPER 12 done bits managing to put in two massive performances in the final two games which ended up relegating EYFC after they beat them in the final game to leapfrog them by a point and secure their top flight status for another season! On that kind of form they should be looking to provide a title challenge!
EYFC went down but have so much talent so will be looking to take the Championship title no doubt and bounce straight back up
SK DONS after a few challenging seasons in the Prem slip through the trapdoor, unlucky lads!

Congratulations to the now two time Premiership Tuesday Champs: 7UP – Sam BALMFORTH, Luke PIKE, Joe BUSBY, Jack BEDDALL, Ross JEFFREY, Joseph HARRIS, Louis PICKSTON, Mike BENTLEY, Sam BENTLEY, Ryan HOGAN & Jack HARRIS

In the Championship and two teams in their first full season win Promotion to the big time!
Congratulations to NITTO FC & CAFOONS

NITTO FC have been superb finishing 7 points clear at the top of the table with a +25 GD losing two games winning the other 8!
No doubt they will be hoping to provide a challenge in the Premiership now
4 points then separated 2nd-5th to show how much of a competitive division this was this season
CAFOONS ended up grabbing the runners up slot after beating CTRL ALT DE LAET 4-1 which meant they leapfrogged them by a point to win promotion! They had a mixed first season but when they have their first team out they are capable of pulling out big performances when it counts which culminated in finishing runners up! Congrats to gaffer Frankie TOYE and the lads!
CTRL ALT DE LAET ended up finishing in third as mentioned above, something I’m sure they will be disappointed about as when they have their full team they are unplayable!
AVONDALE RANGERS had a mixed season after having a strong first half to the season they petered away which meant they finished in 4th, a point behind CADL.
BUCKHURST HILL HAMMERS had a mixed season finishing in 5th a point behind Avondale, but put in some massive results along the way and just lacked some consistency

Congrats to the Championship winners, NITTO FC – Harry SNOW, Tom HOUSE, Dan O’TOOLE, George HELLEN, Drew BUISSON, Ben BRITTON, Harvey WEBB, Toby EATON & OZZIE

Looking forward to another good season and thank you to everyone who made it such an enjoyable season once again!

Commiserations to TODOS LOS BALLERS who were toe to toe with Barry all the way, finishing two points behind with the highest points total to ever not win a league in a 10 game season finishing on 23 points with only one loss! Great effort and well played Jimmy NEARY and his lads

In third 2 GOALS 1 CUP were up there with the top two all season and at one point looked like they could take it, but results didn’t go their way the last few games but a great effort from Rhys THURGOOD’s side.

NINEFIELDS started strong but fell away after they got hit with too many inconsistent teams and injuries hampered Kyle SMITH & Louie FEHRENBACH’s team as they finished in 4th

Similar story for SULTAN ATHLETIC as Jordan AMBROSE & James WHITBREAD team

New season starting in two weeks, TWO SPACES available, get in touch if interested in entering a team

NO ATTACK & SPARTAN FC – WANSTEAD MONDAYS SEASON REVIEW

We have new Premiership Champions at Wanstead Mondays!
NO ATTACK made it back to back titles as they took the Championship title to then get their hands on the Premiership title in their first top flight season!

It wasn’t easy though as Toulouse or NotToulouse kept on their heels all season taking it down to the final game of the season, but with No Attack only needing a point to secure it, the odds were stacked in their favour and they grabbed all three to secure it!

Congratulations to all the NO ATTACK lads: Rob KIRK, Liam KAYE, Owen JACOBS, DON, MATEEN, BAILEY, Louie HEREL, SAMBAPPE, TERRELL, SJ & Arjon BASI

Question is can they now retain it to win the Gold boots and become the joint most successful team at Wanstead?

In the Championship and this division was as entertaining as always as good teams in close matches all season!
Another close one for the runners up and massive congratulations to new boys SPARTAN FC who were dominant as they took the title in their first season only losing once and bagging the Championship title and those Silver boots! Well done to Alif GRIMM, Jonayed AHMED, Taha MAHMOOD, Alindo KHAN, Imrose WADID, Rahul KALRA, Mo SHAKIL, Joyoen HOSSAIN & Guido Luis TARZARIOL

Also well done to skipper Shane MITCHELL and his THANET WOODFORD side who take the runners up spot to win promotion to the top flight for the first time, just nicking it ahead of Todga United!

Thanks to all teams who contributed to make it a great season and looking forward to the season ahead

PINK PANTHERS & SONIC BOOM – LOUGHTON THURSDAY SEASON REVIEW

WOW! What a season climax in the Premiership! Some huge games for the title and a relegation shoot out! Going into this one we had IG10 BOYS leading the way as they were looking for their second title.
However they faced the relentless PINK PANTHERS in the first game of the night with both knowing that one of them needed to win, a draw wouldn’t work for either as CONTE BALL in an impressive first season in the Prem were hot on their heels!

PINK PANTHERS got a 4-0 win which left them in the driving seat meaning they would be champions unless CONTE BALL could manage to get a 13 goal winning margin!
CONTE BALL gave it a good go winning 9-1 which ended up leaving them a few goals short which meant Pink Panthers won their 4th title!
Massive achievement and another entertaining season. Congratulations to all the Panthers: Luke DIMOND, Ben DIMOND, Jack SMITH, Sam MAY, Sean O’REGAN, Cane SULLIVAN, Bayley CLARKE, Liam DALY, Will HUDSON & George MILLER

In the Championship and new boys SONIC BOOM had a dominant first season taking the Championship by storm!
Only losing one game scoring 49, conceding 11 with a GD of 38 is some impressive stats!

No doubt these lads will be adding even more competition to the Prem in the new season after the season they have had!

Congratulations to all the Sonic Boom lads: Jesse GIBBONS-SMITH, Billy HAPPE, Billy EVANS, Sam TEMPERO, Andrew KARAKANNA, Eren KANBER, Alfie BAIRD & Claudius EDWARDS

Congratulations also to James CROWE’s DEBDEN SPORTS who finished runners up after joining a few games in but managed to go unbeaten since getting involved while also giving the champs their only defeat! They took second place and go straight up to the Prem after a 10-0 win secured it!

Both divisions are going to be entertaining once again no doubt looking at the teams involved

Once again thanks to all teams and players who participated in making it another enjoyable season for all

7UP & EYFC – LOUGHTON TUESDAYS – SEASON REVIEW

What a title race it was in the Premiership this season, Starter Pack FC had started off on fire and looked like the team to beat, however Teddy FC are always contenders due to the quality of their squad and SK Dons announced themselves as contenders after some big results as they continue to improve every season!

But que 7UP who joined two games in but put together some excellent results and went head to head with Teddy on the last game of the season in a winner takes all match! 7UP came out on top taking the title in their first season, amazing achievement in a tough division.

Avondale Rangers & Wallads were relegated after struggling for much of the season with inconsistent teams, but now with players returning over the next few weeks im sure they will look to challenge once more for the Championship title

Congratulations to the 7UP lads: Sam BALMFORTH, Joseph HARRIS, Jack HARRIS, Sam BENTLEY, Michael BENTLEY, Luke PIKE, Henry MOORCROFT, Ryan HOGAN, Ross JEFFREY, Joe BUSBY & Jack BEDDALL

In the Championship and EYFC had an unreal season in their first full season in the league only losing one game all season!

No doubt these lads will be a threat in the Premiership in the new season, as will Proper 12 who get promoted for their debut in the Prem after a strong season in which they finishes runners up.

Well done to Connor GEOGHEGAN and his lads

Beals 2’s had a strong season but slipped away, while Cafoons in their debut showed they will be a threat as they have a strong side.
Only put matip in struggled with consistency while Real Sosobad are a strong side when they have their full squad available and are tough to break down

Well done to the EYFC lads who win the Championship title: Luke ROBINSON, EDDIE, ROSS, KODY, ANTOINE, FLAPPER JR, FLAPPER SENIOR

JE3 & KEPAMINE – LOUGHTON MONDAYS SEASON REVIEW

Another great season, and for a long time the Premiership was wide open!

Mark WRIGHT’s JE3 side had won the Championship in their first season and made an impact immediately in the Premiership becoming only the fifth different champions after Old Bucks, Debden Vets, Diors, and Theydon Green.

They also broke Theydon Greens titles won in a row streak! Winning the title 8 points ahead of second placed Texas Oldham.

Congratulations to JE3: Mark WRIGHT, Josh WRIGHT, Aaron MCLEAN, Stevie AYTON, Luke GUTTRIDGE, Georgie WRIGHT, Charlie EDINBURGH, Jonah GREGORY & Brandon ADAMS


TEXAS OLDHAM recorded their best ever Premiership season and were unlucky in the end, while THEYDON GREEN started off slower than usual but fought back taking third spot, a point above 4th placed YK and 5th placed OH EAST LONDON, with the new ALL TALK joining midway and putting in a string of good performances

In the Championship and KEPAMINE FC in their first season won the Championship in style winning 8 points clear of second placed JEWISH JOHNS ARMY!

Congratulations to all the KEPAMINE lads: Sam THOMAS, Jamie THOMAS, Sonny CLARK, Charlie BOWES, Ale SPRINGER, George TAYLOR & Jake DANIELS

HAVENT GOT A KALOU had a much improved season finishing in third, while BAYER NEVERLOSEN finished just behind in 4th on goals scored!

GET HAMMERED in their first season one point behind them both can be happy with their debut season as they improved each week while 3 WINGS FOR A POUND, CHARLTON NON-ATHLETIC and S6 DONS lacked squad consistency but pulled off some big results when needed

Well played to all who got involved and contributed to what was another good season of football played in the right way
