JC MSFL QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Louis Taylor (Neasden C): "It would be wrong of me to talk about the poor refereeing performance, the questionable linesman decisions, the blatant penalty that we were denied or the goal they scored that was offside. Instead, I'll wish JLGB congratulations on their first win and we look forward to meeting them in the league again soon."
