One
team that would have been happy for a positive
result in the above contest rather than a draw
would have been Policia Mallorca. The defeat
to FC Radbroke meant they had a chance to catch
them if they could collect all 3 points against
John Barnes FC.
Policia
Mallorca started off well and established a
2-0 lead by the break as Daniel Javaloyas and
Jose Luis Moya both found the net. There was
also a moment of light relief as the sprinklers
went off during play – a refreshing blast off
cool water on a hot day I'm sure would have
been welcome. Although we play on artificial
grass the pitches are watered to stop the grass/fibregel
pellets becoming too hot and burning when players
skin comes into contact with the pitch.
Anyway,
back to the game, with 3 points looking good
for Policia Mallorca the next step was to look
at goal difference. They would surely be going
level with FC Radbroke on 9 points when Jaime
Castro Gonzalez made it 3-0. They needed a 6-goal
win to move into second and Pedro Barcelo helped
them on their way to 4-0 but that's where the
scoring ended.
Policia
Mallorca moved into joint second but were third
on goal difference. John Barnes FC were propping
up the rest in 6th position.
