Brandon Groves 2 Grays Athletic 4
Goalscorers: Fenn(14, 19, 22), Johnson(44)
Grays Athletic played some great football and had Brandon Groves on the back foot for the majority of the game, Fenn opened the scoreline on 14 minutes but Brandon Groves came back and leveled the score two minutes later, Grays dug deep and played some fantastic passing football and took the lead again on 19 minutes courtesy of Fenn, 3 minutes later Fenn completed his hattrick to give Grays a 3-1 lead at half time.
Following the break Grays came back out fighting, and within the first minutes had a controversial goal disallowed, the ball hit the underside of the bar and bounced up hitting the top netting inside the goal, the referee indicated that it was a goal but the linesman said it had not crossed the line, this fired Grays up and responded by scoring almost a minute later.
Brandon Groves got a second goal on 57 minutes but Grays continued to push forward and stifled any attack that was thrown at them.

County Park 0 Grays Athletic 5
Goalscorers: Price(2), Edmunds, Bearman, S.Pumfrett
Grays struggled to overcome a stubborn County Park side in the first half with the game being goalless at half-time.
The second-half though was dominated by Grays and they struck 5 past the County Park keeper to secure a valuable 3 points. Price opened the scoring ,4 minutes into the second half, by collecting a ball from Stopher and driving into the box to finish well. Just a minute later and Price had his second after tucking away a ball by S.Pumfrett.Ten minutes later a Price shot was blocked and the ball rolled to Edmunds on the edge of the area to thump it into the top of the net. A couple of minutes later came the fourth after a neat 1-2 on the wing between Edmunds and S.Pumfrett gave Edmunds time to cross for Bearman to finish low into the net.Grays were rampant at this point and a fifth soon came when Stopher put S.Pumfrett through and he coolly rounded the keeper to slot home.
A great 3 points and with results today going in the boys favour a win at Rippleway in the next game sees the boys crowned as champions with a further game to play.

Grays Athletic Lions 2 Lee Chapel Dynamos 1
Goalscorer: Samuel (2)
Grays played another great game again this week with Samuel scoring both goals. The first within the first few minutes and the second in the 6th minute.
Both teams came out strong in the second half and Lee Chapel managed to get a goal back, but the Grays defence held strong and bagged the goal they deserved.
Well done boys, keep up the hard work.

LTD 4 Grays Athletic 1
Goalscorer: Billy
Not a good day today totally outplayed by a great team. Grays looked nervous from the off and we stuggled with their passing, we did take the lead with a penalty, Billy sloted that one away. We hung on to the lead and battled well. Liam our keeper made some good saves before tipping one over the bar..superb. Eventually they scored and they had us. All the boys battled well especailly at the back but we were just simply outclassed.
Man Of The Match: Liam... Some great saves.
