Is this a good time to mention the picnic on the beach this afternoon?

It appears I did a disservice to our second goal as I said he scored it from the centre circle. Whilst not technically lying it was even better, in the tweet is a link to goal from even further out last season. The boy has form!!

Today's game was called off due to Covid within the El Palo squad. Symptoms are apparently mild for those that have any at all. It may also put Wednesday night's game in question too!

Hope everyone stays as well as possible, Duds - and that they are soon back in action again. In the meantime, have dutifully joined the legion of @elpalofc Twitter followers!

After a three game hiatus for covid in the squad the El Palo boys returned last night away to top of the table Torremolinos, sadly a repeat of the 1-0 score line from game two of the season saw the league leaders extend their advantage at the top, another red card did not help our cause… onwards and upwards

I'm sure there can be no shame in losing by the only goal of the game to the league leaders, Duds, especially when they've had a player sent off.
On to the next game and an opportunity to get back to winning ways!

Too soon in the season, alas, for Torremolinos to 'be on their holidays'...!

A much needed three points yesterday has kept El Palo in touch with the playoff pack. Goals for Pepe Capitán and Dario before a last minute penalty gave Alhaurin CD a consolation goal. However the result leaves them rooted in the drop zone. Two points off and playing the team in the final playoff position at home on Sunday! No carbs for the boys this week before we play…
In other news, league leaders Torremolinos won again and now have an eleven point gap in the only automatic promotion position. All the more impressive when you consider the next eleven teams are within eleven points of each other! This is going to be an interesting run in for the playoffs.

During County’s incredible run of nine games with nine victories and thirty goals scored El Palo have managed to play three games! Winning two and losing one. To make up for lost time we have three more in the next seven days! We start today hosting Marbella who are top of the form table having won their last five. Dedos cruzados (fingers crossed)

Marbella or Barnet ? What a difficult choice you have to make Duds.

Some days you win tough and this was one of those. A hard fought one nil victory against a side who looked dangerous at times. The first half hour was absorbing with the closest to a goal being an audacious chip by El Palo’s Pepe Capitán (no he’s not the captain!) that sailed just over the bar from 30 yards out dropping at such a steep angle it hit the back of the back of the net. I’m not going to lie I thought it had gone in…
It was one of those games when you felt the opposition were going to scramble home a scruffy goal. Fortunately they did not! Half time and it was still nil nil. El Palo had been the better side and you would not have thought that Marbella were on a five game winning streak. Much of their attack came down the right through two good players with a nice link up but other than that, there was a lot of hoofed balls over the top.
Second half continued on the same vein and on fifty eight minutes great work down the right by Roberto Sierra taking on and beating two opponents allowed him to send in a superb cross buried in the back of the net by a Dario header! Sparking scenes of great excitement. So much so that my girlfriend messaged me to say I heard that! Have you scored? After that Marbella came into the game through their substitutes and El Palo falling back to protect what they had. Which they did well without clear cut chances for Marbella although there were a few heart stopping moments.
El Palo now sit two points off Marbella in the final playoff position but only 3 points off third place. Wednesday’s catch up game takes on more significance now. Vammmmmoooooooo Paloooooooo

Sounds a bit like Maidenhead last Tuesday! Great result - and thanks, as ever, for the report, Duds.
