We Are The Champions!

After a fantastic season of solid wins, the team finished top of the league with a  5 point strong  lead. The CD team not only beat the the banks on FX but also in football;  Deutshche Bank lost almost every game against the Currencies Direct boys so let’s hope next season is just as glorious.

All dues to the following players:

Dan Cronin, Matt Watson, Alistair Cotton, Chris Partridge, Harry Cosgrave, Aldrino Rodriques, Phil Mchugh, Tim Lewis, Reece Merrick, Lee Chappell,

Player of the season went to Dan Cronin after scoring 10 goals alone in the season, Matt Watson was joint top scorer of the season.

Season 2 First Match - Deutsche Bank

Season 2 of Top Corner Old Street league saw Currencies Direct enter the newly formed premier league as champions and favourites for the title.

First opponents were previously conquered Deutsche Bank. Buzzing at the start, the kraut bankers were seeking to score one for the euro but there was only going to be one winner.

The line up consisted of Cat Partridge in goal, with Weasel Chappell, Dino-Tim, Fabio Cotton and Webbed Swanson.

The game started with the German money men kicking off and moving the ball around with plenty of verve but as soon as we gained possession a tirade of orange and black hit their goal. The post was rattled twice and their keeper was in great form to prevent CD taking the lead.

The deadline was then broken with Chappell finding Tim Lewis who finished with aplomb. Like the battle of the Bulge, this signalled the beginning of the end for the Germans. Chappell again provider found Cotton, tireless in his endeavours, finished strongly to double the score line.

The their striker produced a moment of inspiration and stunned proceedings by picking out the top bins to leave Partridge sprawled across the goal and pull a goal back. This rest bite wouldn’t last long.

Thanks to great pressure from Cotton, pouncing on a loose ball, Chappell swooped like a spitfire in the middle of a dogfight to destroy his target and add a third.  Half time 3-1.

The second half was as one sided as the first with CD dominating in all areas of the pitch and the sauerkraut eaters were struggling to get out of their half. Great work by all created several chances but it was left to goatman Watson to strike probably the best ball I’ve seen at this place and hit the upper echelons of the side panel from 10 yards out to make it 4.

T-rex Lewis, following assists from Swanners and Partridge, completed the scoring and settle the match, 6-1 to CD.

One game in and top of the Prem, get in.
