A brace, and Abdoul N'Doye takes the afternoon — 8.86
There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Abdoul N'Doye provided it, and the 8.86 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

No sign of nerves from Wisdom Osaretin Igiebor at 20 — 7.84
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Wisdom Osaretin Igiebor did not need any: 7.84, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Words exchanged at Mgarr United
Yuri Feitosa and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Mgarr United end the wait against Gudja United
It had gone 5 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Jerryson Willie in the eights
A performance of 8.09 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Ryan Grima has his say
“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Ryan Grima on a 3‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Alan Grech falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
