Faithfold overpower champions

articlemain

Daryl Phillips, assistant-manager of Faithfold A, has called for calm after the Superhoops went three points clear at the top of the Premier Division after beating defending champions North West Neasden A.

Victories in their first three matches against title rivals Hendon United Sports Club A, London Maccabi Lions A and Neasden have put Faithfold in a strong position as they look to win the title for the first time since 2005.

Phillips said: "This was another squad performance where everyone did a job."

The team has undergone some major changes in personnel following a period of transition. Phillips said: "I think we have become a more physical team than previous years where in the past Neasden had been stronger. We still can play our football but have developed some toughness to our game.

"Neasden are a very good team and it's been a while since we got one over on them, so it's nice to be back at the top of the league.

"However it's still very early days, and things can change if we are not on our game and become complacent. There's still a long way to go but we will enjoy putting one over on the old enemy."

A first-half header from Alex Bowman steered Neasden B past North London Raiders A. NWN joint-manager Sammy Carr said: "Our experience shone through at the end."

London Maccabi Lions B held London Maccabi Lions A 1-1. Scott Levy put the Bs ahead with a 30-yard pile-driver before Joel Ross saved the A team's blushes 15 minutes from time.

Lions B manager Dan Levy said: "We were very disciplined with a great shape and fully deserved the point if not more."
