MJSL JOAN COLLINS PREMIER DIVISION
SOUTH MANCHESTER SPORTS 3rd 0 REICH INSURANCE RANGERS 3

Joseph Mann and Ben Burton helped Reich Insurance Rangers heap further misery on rock-bottom South Manchester Sports 3rd.

Mann (2) and Burton ensured Reich jumped up the table as they look to finish their season on a high.

Reich’s director of football Mike Gaswirth said: “There’s still plenty for us to play for. It’s about finishing the season strongly. We feel if we can field our strongest team we are a match for most.”

Meanwhile, Oakhill Lions have been rewarded with a 5-0 win over Manchester Maccabi Yellow for last year’s hotly-disputed abandoned game.

In November, Anton Radiven’s men pulled his players off the pitch in protest at the playing conditions with his side trailing 5-0 after just 22 minutes.

A misconduct charge followed and the Manchester County FA awarded the points to Oakhill.

They also issued Maccabi Manchester Yellow with a £25 fine and five disciplinary points – the minimum punishment they could dish out.

After resulting a personal hearing, MJSL chiefs ignored the evidence put forward – much to the club’s frustration.

Tony Gellman, the chairman of the club’s senior sector, said: "We have reluctantly accepted the decision of the anonymous MJSL panel.

The three-man panel didn’t not ask for our views or did not consider our evidence.

"We were appalled they came to that decision under the circumstances."
