Nottingham Ballbois were confirmed GNL Champions for 2008/2009 after beating Leicester Wildecats 1-0 at Victoria Embankment.

The East Midlands side have won every game en-route to the title so far, with one game remaining against London Titans on May 10th.

The goal, scored by James H, came in the final few minutes of the match in a tie noted for it’s spirit and fair-play.

Nottingham will be presented with the trophy and medals on May 10th after their game with London Titans.

Meanwhile, the Titans defeated Leftfooters 4-nil at Wormwood Scrubs to give themselves a chance of finishing in the top three. They must hope for a win against Ballbois in their final game, and hope Birmingham Blaze and Leicester draw in the final game of the league season.

Birmingham Blaze defeated Brighton Bandits 3-1 as they battle for 2nd place, and GFC Bournemouth travelled to Yorkshire and returned victorious after beating Terriers 2-1.

The last two matches (rearranged from February) take place on May 10th:

Nottingham Ballbois vs London Titans
Birmingham Blaze vs Leicester Wildecats

Congratulations to Nottingham Ballbois.

All players and supporters of the GFSN League would like to wish Ian C, of Birmingham Blaze, a speedy recovery.

Ian suffered an impact fracture which has broken both the tibia and fibia in his right leg in Birmingham’s game against Yorkshire on Sunday 19th April.

Hopefully Ian will be having surgery this weekand will need to stay in hospital in Sheffield (where the game was played) for a couple of days before hopefully moving closer to his home town at the end of the week.

Everyone associated with the league is really shocked and sadden to hear of the injury, and hope to see him back on the football pitch as soon as he can.
