M’Scala MOR£ 7

(5-2)(6-1) (6-0) (5-4)

Exiles took their place in the Premier Division, although they start out with no bonus points, even after winning three out of their four group matches, only to lose out in goal difference,

They rode roughshod over M’scala. who were still in the game until the second session, when their Hungarian, Judashz Szolt, was expelled without substitution.

Exiles took the opportunity to net five times in this four minute period, but they did more, because they managed to convert all of their eleven man ups throughout the game.

M’scala will now play in the 1st Division, with a healthy cushion of five points.

Exiles’ Marthon Toth grabbed a nap hand of goals, whilst Joseph Kayes was on hand again for M’scala, with a poker of goals.
