Willesden Legionnaire 2 Broadway Celtic II 0
Willesden Legionnaire edged this title 6 pointer at the Shamrock grounds in Acton today but the scoreline of 2-0 did not reflect BCFC's performance.
BCFC II looked very comfortable on the ball in the first half with W.L happy to soak up the pressure, in fairness W.L never looked overstretched though any bookie would have backed BCFC to nick all 3 points after a first half performance in which BCFC enjoyed the lions share of the play.

David O'Carroll (crabsy) 1st half effort
The only chance that was created was a half volley 8 yards out which fell to BCFC's David O'Carroll who never really connected with the ball, the most memorable incident was when the W.L keeper accidently it most be said caught Ray Fitzpatrick with an allmighty boot to his thigh which took Ray several minutes rest to recover from before he continued playing.

Ray Fitzpatrick was lucky to escape serious injury in this collision with the W.L keeper who was not to blame !
The reason for BCFC II dominance in play quickly became apparent early in the 2nd half as BCFC found they had to play into a deceptive headwind. The breakthrough came on the hour when BCFC's Steve Fortune felt he was harshly done by when he was ajudged to have handled on the edge of the area, a W.L player curled a sublime 25 yard free kick into the top corner to give W.L the lead.
Sub Simon Free was unlucky not to earn BCFC II a late late penalty
The 2nd came on 85 minutes as W.L midfielder Stuart (Maddox i think) decided with the ball stuck between his feet to thump one again from 25 yards, 2-0 game over.
BCFC II's Ray and the legions Stuart battle for the ball !
BCFC II should have had a penalty in injury time when Simon Free was felled but W.L could have added more but for only for keeper Peter Keegan who saved 2 one on ones from the self-titled Deadly Duncan upfront for the legionnaire .
The win was BCFC's first defeat in the league for over 12 months and leaves the destination of this years division 2 title even more of a mystery.
