Two Days, Two Championships (Part 2)

On Sunday I followed one Championship win with another. Bayswater Strikers won their 6th Bayside FA Championship in 7 years when they hosted third placed Langwarrin at Guy Turner Reserve in a catchup match.

Bayswater had a difficult run home having to play the only two teams that could catch them, Langwarrin again the following week at Langwarrin and then having to travel away on the last day of the season to second placed Endeavour Strikers, it was fair to say Bayswater were pretty focused on getting the three points required and not leaving the door open for either team to have a crack in the final weeks.

Like the match the previous day, the game was a bit of an anti-climax, but this time for a different reason. What must of been an understrength Langwarrin were dismantled by Bayswater. 4-0 up at Half Time and 7-0 up before Bayswater took their foot off the pedal and Langwarrin snuck 2 goals in, before an 8th for Bayswater capped things off.

At the other end of the table, things are not so done and dusted. Although Chelsea are relegated, Mt Lilydale currently occupying the second relegation spot on the ladder (due to a 6 point deduction for playing an unregistered player) will be travelling to Croydon Rangers on the last day of the season in what could be a winner takes all matchup.
