Stone Army 7 Birmingham Futsal Ladies B 2
Toe Pokers 0 Birmingham Futsal Ladies 8

Even on the first night, it appears there were two non-fixtures. What hope for the rest of the season when you get this on the first evening?

GREAT WHITE SHARKS 0
BIRMINGHAM FUTSAL ELITE LADIES 14
A DISASTROUS start to the new season for the Sharks.
The first five minutes were dominated by GWS, who are wearing black this season.
They managed a few shots on target but no result.
Bham Elite were more effective with their passes and were 4-0 up by the end of the first half.
A good score to chase with Sharks only thinking positively, however Bham Elite proved why they are previous national winners with constant passing and gameplay, going on to win 14-0.
A bad day in the office for GK Salma. Returning after a three-week break, the Sharks looked rusty and unsettled.
This however did not stop them from playing a friendly vs Bham A. Facing less of a challenge, Sharks produced a much better composed game.
Sharks lost 9-5, with Vicky scoring four and Dee one. Nevertheless, Aisha and Farzana's efforts did not go unnoticed.
This was a big step for the Sharks to climb, but they know all teams will play just as good to give them any chance to qualify.
The Sharks must prepare properly to maintain the respect they've earned in previous seasons.
