Forest Fell Timbers To Go Top!

By Joe Perkins

Keeper Hero as Forest shut out champs. Timbers hit Alston for 17.

Lea Forest jumped to the peak of the Corporate Clothing division following Tuesday night's top of the table clash with Timberley - and are now one point clear of the reigning champions. Both teams put on a fantastic spectacle in really dreadful conditions with all the boys leaving everything on the pitch. With Forest leading 1-0, they then had to withstand a second half Timbers onslaught, and only an outstanding goalkeeping display by their lad in the sticks, Cristian, keeping them in the game; Timberley peppered the Foresters goal but with no return.
This was in stark contrast to Monday night's game where Timberley blasted 17 goals past a beleaguered Alston. The dramatic 17-2 scoreline took the champs - briefly, for a day - back to the summit. However, after Tuesday's result they have slipped back into second place with the division continuing its congested look remaining as tight as ever. Any one of the top 6 teams is still in with a chance of a top-two finish in this exciting, breathless division.
