London Town 3-0 Real Birmingham

Sunday 2nd May
HMV Park, London. Att: 48,023.

Real Birmingham's unbeaten run was finally ended by London Town, as the visitors lost 3-0 to the BritLeague Champions.

Town were without the suspended John Carey, but still that didn't falter them as captain Daniel Perry headed them in front after a dull first half.

Croatian rightback Niko Tomic finally put the ball in net in a Blue shirt with a 20-yard strike, his first since joining Town in March 2009.

Real Birmingham pressed for a goal, but were caught on the break and Italian striker Andrea Romano made it 3-0.

Goals
London Town: Perry 48', Tomic 66', Romano 81'.
Real Birmingham: none.

London United 2-2 Fire

Saturday 1st May
HMV Park, London. Att: 46,493.

London United were stunned by a late comeback by Nottingham Fire, with keeper Mehdi Kaziri getting on the scoresheet.

United were in control of the game from the first minute and they were rewarded with a goal with CraiCo's 20-yard free kick.

Carlos Torres-Pizarro doubled the score, and it appeared there was no way back for the Fire.

However, totally against the run of play, they won a corner. Morocco international keeper Kaziri came up for the corner which was taken by Ben Judd. Simon Herding came out but only punched it to the oncoming Kaziri who let a left foot shot into the empty net.

The goal fired up the visitors, and shortly afterwards the Fire began to attack with great force. Stig Gunnar Sundevahl played a great through-ball for Hugo Watson after John Macdonald played him onside and the striker put one through Herding's legs.

The London United stopper's form will worry England manager Marco Garibaldi, but Herding always seems to get back to his best after off-days.

Goals
London United: CraiCo 18', Torres-Pizarro 56'.
Fire: Kaziri 89', Watson 90'.

Phantoms 0-0 Edinburgh FC

Saturday 1st May

FC London 1-0 Lightning

Saturday 1st May
T-Mobile Stadium, London. Att: 47,483.

FC London left it late to beat fellow form team Leeds Lightning, 1-0.

Jeremy "Jezza" Constantinidis's 25-yard rocket left Lightning's American keeper Mike Foster bamboozled.

Scott Casey made a fine tackle from Adam Stockwell, and played a lovely through ball for Jezza, who controlled it with the outside of his right foot and in the next motion lobbed the ball over the Foster and into the net.

Goals
FC London: Jezza 87'.
Lightning: none.

Dragons 3-1 Glasgow FC

Friday 30th April 2010
Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Att: 58,493.

The Dragons beat Glasgow FC 3-1 in front of a big crowd at the Millennium Stadium.

Ben Daffy responded to Weegies striker Ryan McQueen's opener by chipping keeper Stuart McDonald two minutes from the break.

Rookie striker Ian Rhys Griffin put the Welsh side in front before Christian Jones netted the insurance goal only two minutes later.

The home club will be happy with the large turnout at the Millennium, even booking a mini-gig at half-time for Welsh mega star Marky Jones. The pre-match and half-time shows also saw the Dragons' cheerleaders performing with TOTV's very own dance team, the Goal Girls.

More importantly though, for the Dragons, they will take three points as they aim to improve after their slow start to the season.

Goals
Dragons: Ben Daffy 43', Griffin 76', C. Jones 78'.
Glasgow FC: McQueen 3'.
