Cupids step up Chase for Title

23/11/05 Cupids 3 v 1 The Vine
Team: Mark, Newman, Tom, George, Mooney.
Goals: Mooney, Newman, George.
Assists: Newman, George, Moon.

After Bruce 'chopper' Dyer cropped himself at the weekend, Dyke was forced to rush through the loan signing of Rich Moon before Tuesday nights 11pm deadline. Mooney made an impact immediately in the game after Newman gave him the ball and he planted it, bottom right, past the despairing cat with his first touch of the ball on a five a side pitch in over six months. Minutes later, former Cupids Striker Rob Giles tried to spoil the party deflecting a shot off Newman’s out stretched leg, taking it away from headlings reach to draw level. In form Newman then made up for the deflection after Dyke laid him the ball on a proverbial platter and he duly dispatched an impressive low drive in the bottom left, 2-1. The second half saw Mooney continue to be a nuisance to the Vine defence, as they conceded bringing him down was the only way to stop him. It was moons fast footwork that released Dyke late on, who spanked a shot into the roof of the net to finish the Vine off 3-1.

Cupids confirmed their second spot and look forward to the match next week against top spot The White Lion. The Cupids will be without Dyke, who is away on international Duty, and who is reported to be doing "everything he can" to convince Moon to extend his loan.

The Newman Show

09/11/05 Cupids 4 v 1 Real Von Dutch
Team: Mark, Bruce, Tom, George, Newman.
Goals: Newman 3, o.g.
Assists: G 2.

In the old days of the Cupids when Dyke Jnr went missing, so did the goals, but not anymore. Step up Paul Newman. Responding to criticism in the press that he couldn't play up top, Newman banged in an emphatic hat-trick. The first two goals came after some exhibition style one touch passing with dyke jnr at least setting both goals up. An o.g. put the cupids 3-0 up but then a well worked goal from real von dutch gave them a glimpse of hope. However, it turned out to be just that as a real defender illegally crossed the box and Newman calmly slotted home the penalty to complete his hat-trick. A solid performance all round, Headling now back to his best keeping several chances out. Could have been 6 or 7 if dyke jnr remembered how to shoot (did he ever know?!)

Team: Nick, Bruce, Tom, George, Cox
Goals: o.g, George, Cox.
Assists: Tom 2, Bruce

Dyke had to call in the ringers as Playmaker Newman and Veteran Keeper Headling were unavailable. Cupids opened the scoring in this keenly contested fixture after dyke Snr's effort rattled the bar and the brazil 70 defender's miss placed pass back slotted into the bottom corner. A well worked free kick between Bruce and Dyke Jnr led to a long overdue goal from the club's leading scorer. Stand in striker Cox completed the rout as the Cupids beat Brazil 70 for the second time this season and moved into second place in the table.
