The start of the new season saw 4 one-sided scorelines, but plenty of action. Firstly, Sons of Pitches defeated Mallards 6-2, with Mark Broadhurst in outstanding form.

The most entertaining game of the evening saw last season´s runners-up, Kop Idols coming from behind to beat Quims Park Rangers 6-3 with Kop´s skipper Rhys Presley dragging his team back into the game after a woeful 1st half team performance.

Then it was the turn of the Champions, Flint Tropics, who overcame a spirited effort from FC Athletic to win 5-0, with Tom Rutter impressing for Athletic.

The final match of the night pitted the two new teams against each other. Unathletic Madrid were undone by a sensational performance from Smack My Pitch Up, who sounded a genuine warning to the other teams in the division by winning 12-1. Clinton Hartley´s team were in unstoppable form and look likely to have a say in the destiny of the title if their first-game form continues. Flint Tropics....you´ve been warned!
