Following the game One Love’s Manager Marc Savage said it was a very competitive game.
He said, “They are a young running team, we had to change up our game plan a bit, alter our formation and look to establish control of the midfield. Our goals were beautiful, the victory really pleasing and it feels good to be at the top!”
Meanwhile in the second game, Lion Heat FC enjoyed a resounding 7-1 victory over Positive FC as Tyrone Buddah went joint top of the golden boot race, scoring his 10th and 11th goals of the season.
