💀 LAST MAN STANDING

We’re down to 3…

With Newcastle losing, Aaron bites the dust!

For week 6, all players have picked differently:

Phil Morris: Man Utd
Lloyd White: Man City
Robert Pedge: Liverpool

£350 still on the line 👀
No one wants to blink first!

Hardwick Reserves 6-0 Melbourn

A tough end to the season on Saturday.

1-0 at half time, but a 2nd half!

Season done, now wait on results elsewhere to see how things finish.

🍻 Good to see plenty back at the Black Horse though… as always.

💀 LAST MAN STANDING

We’ve gone from 10 players… to just 4 remaining in the hunt for the £350 prize after another brutal weekend.

And 3 of the 4 have all gone the same way this week 👀

Which means… we could have a winner very soon... or a full wipeout!

Next Saturday night at The Black Horse pub...

A room full of people:

• Backing horses based on absolutely nothing

• Ignoring all available evidence

• And convincing themselves they’re due a win

...Some of them will even have a bet on the racing!

🐎 IT’S FILLING UP…

Saturday’s Race Night at the Black Horse pub is shaping up nicely.

All 8 races now sponsored
5 out of 8 owners already taken
And a headline sponsor secured 🤝

Big thanks to Julian Ireland for backing the night.

📅 Sat 11 April
⏰ First race 7:30pm

[Melbourn FC ⚽️ @Melbourn_FC]

No game for us this weekend.

Which is probably for the best.

A few of the lads needed a break…
mainly from chasing shadows and asking “who’s got him?”.

Back next Saturday.

𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 🟡⚽

We travel to Histon Hornets this Saturday, currently 2nd in the league.

A tough test, but with 3 games left, every point matters.

#UpTheMelbourn

[Melbourn FC ⚽️ @Melbourn_FC]

We had to come from behind on Saturday after conceding a penalty, but were back level 10 minutes later following a goalmouth scramble from a corner that ended up in the net.

An important point as we head into the final three games of the season.

Melbourn vs Cambourne Town
⏰ 3pm KO
📍 The Moor

Round two after last week’s dramatic 3-2 game away at Cambourne.

Support always appreciated if you're around this afternoon.

Who’s coming down to The Moor?

#UpTheMelbourn

[Melbourn FC ⚽️ @Melbourn_FC]

Heartbreak at the end.

We were narrowly beaten 3-2 at Cambourne on Saturday.

Geo gave us the lead early in the 2nd half & then equalised moments after Cambourne went ahead, but the hosts snatched a winner in the final minute.

LMS carnage already 👀

46 started. A current prize pot of £230!

11 are already out… thanks to a certain Liverpool result 😬

The rest of the games are being played tonight, so there could be more casualties before the dust settles!

Buy backs incoming 😅🙈

𝗦𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽

Lost 6-1 to Guilden Morden.

2-0 down, Ant Georgiou pulled one back before half time, but three sin bins meant a long spell with 10 men on a heavy pitch and it cost us.

Six games left. Reset and go again.
