Manchester Saturday Morning League, Division Three
East Mancunia United 9 Church Inn 1 (att 11)
Two sides who would both fancy their chances of promotion this season, so while the home win was no surprise the scale of East Mancunia's victory certainly was.
The home side were ahead early, but it didn't take long for Church Inn to equalise from a penalty. The game's second penalty put United back in front and from there they didn't look back.
They added two more goals before half time, and five more in the second. Of the nine, six were scored by one player, Lee Watnough (according to the stats on the league's website). It was only Church Inn's second league defeat of the season, the other by the even more unlikely scoreline of 6-7.
Despite the United suffix, and playing in red, East Mancunia play just across the road from Manchester City's stadium, although Manchester United's pre-Old Trafford grounds, now long gone, were both situated nearby.
Their home venue is the East Manchester Academy in Grey Mare Lane, which so new it only appears partially built on Google Maps. I expected East Mancunia to use the school's 3G pitch, but they play on a grass pitch that's part of the school's playing field.
