Welcome to the Round 3 Division 3 report. This week saw some great results for the Ex Div 4 teams and some less then good ones for the Div 3 heavyweights. There was some high scoring games with 25 goals being scored all up. |

Nitro FC 1 - 2 Saskatoon Wanderers M_Schneider (nit) 19' Alfalfio (sas) 36' B_Bong (sas) 86' |

Nitro falter this week and also drop 5 positions from 1st to 5th. Saskatoon did well to come back from behind after Nitro's Schneider scored the opener in the 19th minute. Saskatoon didn't panic and not long before the break Alfalfio evened the score with a well timed shot. Things stayed static until 6 minutes from time when Bong decided to get into the action and grab a last gasp goal to poach the full 3 points. Eugene will be a bit annoyed at the loss of Sveum for 4 weeks due to injury however there was some good news in that Arabic is not badly injured and will be available for next weeks game. |

This was a game that really got away from Spartak. They came to this match feeling they had a real chance against Iggys Houston boys. And for 70 odd minutes they were fairly even with 3-2 shots on goal to the home team. Then came the Iggy masterstroke when he replaced both of his forwards who had an immediate effect. Scorer lived up to his name by putting 2 away in 2 minutes and suddenly Houston were 2 up. Lidstone, who up until that point had been quite pleased with his defence, screamed "Oh yeah sure….. WTF do you think you are doing you morons???? Why don't you let in another one?? Yah dickheads!!!" So they did. He shut up after that. It was a pretty shitty day all round for Spartak. They lost their young Midfielder Thomio for 2 week when he was stretched off after 5 minutes and their other Midfielder Salgado finally got a SL increase only to get it in shooting. Things were pretty good for Iggy this week Lihhma got a correct SL increase but unfortunately Joaoe decided he wanted some SM™ action.

This the 1st of 2 high scoring matches and was a see-sawing game. Pasmaters Roy got them off to a flying start scoring 2 goals in the first 10 minutes. Wong then got Eastern back on level terms after half time with 2 goals of his own. Lazanga then got Pasmaters back in the lead 13 minutes later but no sooner had Eastern pulled the ball from their own net, Pasmaters were doing the same thing and it was all square again. The Pasmaters home crowd was now going berserk and Roy got his third just 1 minute later so that Pasmaters inched ahead again. This time Eastern had no answer and Lazanga got his second just 2 minutes from time to make sure the points stayed at Pasmaters. Pasmaters are going great guns at the moment and are by themselves on the top of the table. Good going Cag. To make Cagris weekend complete Lazanga got a correct SL increase, unfortunately for Pasmaters, Delphi is suspended for 1 week and Bollokov is out injured for 2… However when you are on top these things can be easier to take. Eastern get 2 players back from suspension and injury, Phillips and Yau make their return next week which will relieve Frank immensely. |

Aussie Man Utd 5 - 3 Apijarevoleada APR P_Smegovic (api) 2' P_Smegovic (api) 12' D_Webber (amu) 18' S_Giggs (amu) 44' D_Webber (amu) 62' E_Yorke (amu) 66' I_Dzugashvili (api) 79' B_Cole (amu) 84' |

The 2nd high scoring game saw AMU concede a 2 goal start to Api then totally smash them in the next 50 minutes. Smeggie got Api off to a good start scoring twice in 10 minutes but unfortunately for Api that was the end of the good stuff. From then on AMU players were lining up to get on the score sheet. 5 goals were scored and only Webber managed to get 2. Giggs, Yorke and Cole all managed to get on the sheet and for Api a consolation goal was scored late in the game by Dzugashvili to make the score slightly more respectable.
A correct Sl increase for Giggs will make Ian happy.. He will be less thrilled to lose his star midfielder for 4 weeks though. However when you have just spanked a pretty good team you may be able grin and bear it. Jesus's weekend got worse when he lost Mashburn for 3 weeks due to a nasty injury.

Besiktas 3 - 0 Barnsley Tykes Nouma (bes) 6' Nouma (bes) 39' pen A_Nboma (bes) 53' |

Both ex Div 4 teams got up this week and will be celebrating. AMU demolished Api and Besiktas registered their 1st points of the season by giving it to Barnsley who along with Spartak are not having a good start to the season. Nouma managed a double after scoring early and then calmly dealing with a penalty to take his team 2 up in the 1st half. Nboma added the icing when he managed a rare goal. You know things are not going well for a team when a player with a shooting SL like Nboma can score against you and Barnsley remain the only team not to have scored a goal so far this season. Mind you since it is only round 3 there is plenty of time to turn it all around.

| Pasmaters, AMU, Houston and Besiktas all go up positions all the rest except for Saskatoon drop places. |

| What a start for Pasmaters this season. Last season they rarely managed to rise above 8th spot this year the lowest they have been is 2nd. AMUs great start sees them in 3rd position and Besiktas rise to 7th thanks to their 1st points. |

| Besiktas are dominating the top 10 thugs and this may come back to bite them later in the year if this goes on. | Roy is streaking ahead but he has his team mate Diehard in hot pursuit with AMUs Webber close behind. |
