FC Bastone will gladly take the three points from their division bosses – even if it wasn’t necessarily a great day at the office.

“Playing them with a full team would have been much harder,” explains Ralph D’Orso following a 7-3 win against a New Regime side forced to play shorthanded for nearly the entire game. “We could have been much better considering they were a man down. They gave a solid effort.”

Cassi Design and Tutto Bene took full advantage of the loss to snuggle up into an incredible four-way tie for first in the B4 Division, while La Dictature missed a golden opportunity to rise above the cramped division after dropping a 3-1 decision to eighth-seed Café Maida.

POTG: D’Orso singled out striker Julian Comito for his performance even as he praised the New Regime keeper for a solid outing.
