And The Foresters win 7-goal thriller as Oval take point to stay top.
It not only rained cats and dogs it also rained goals at Lea Forest on Wednesday evening. 18 goals were shared as St Bernadette's took 4 points from 6, Lea Forest 3 and despite The Oval managing just a single point, it was enough to keep them top. The opening game saw The Foresters soar into a 4 goal half-time lead only for The Oval to hit back with 3 second half strikes. A frenetic finish ensued but Forest held on 4-3. The second game saw The Oval resist a St Bernadette's barrage and take an excellent point as the game closed out, 2 a piece. In the final game of the night and with the rain worsening by the bucket load, Bernie's took advantage of a tiring Forest side by smashing in 5 second half goals to complete a comfortable 6-1 victory. Following these results, Bernie's are now up to fourth with The Foresters to second, just one point behind early leaders, The Oval.
