AFC Chaps stay top of Group One after winning the big group match between the top two placed teams in the league.
With Salmon unbeaten in al competitions in the Monday League this season they went into the game as overwhelming favourites but AFC Chaps had been getting back to their best in recent weeks and were playing with confidence.
The game itself was an end to end battle as Chaps took the lead through a brilliant finish from Kenny Taylor as Salmon fired back through Craig Metcalfe with his own superb goal to immediately equalise. This was only the start as both teams traded punches and at half time it was 3-3.
After the turn round Chaps pulled away as the hold up play and goalscoring ability of Jimmy Gray came to the fore. Although Gray only scored one he had a hand in most of the rest as Taylor completed a hat trick added to by a double from Liam Simm whilst Metcalfe was very unlucky to finish on the losing side after four cracking goals.
The result means AFC Chaps have qualified for the Semi Finals sitting at the top of the Group table whilst Salmon sit in second with work to do to reach the semis.

TOWN LADS 4 - 2 GAMBALLO
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Town Lads and Gamballo are the teams that never fail to disappoint in terms of exciting matches.
Gamballo started like a house on fire with the deadly duo of Aidan May and Mickey Smith buzzing around they grabbed one goal each as they threatened to overrun a shocked Town Lads back line. With in form players Conor Hodson and Harry Green
After going 0-2 down, on the back foot and struggling to make an impact Town Lads made a tactical change that rewarded them with swift results as they immediately pulled a goal back and the dynamics of the game changed.
After Danny Carter had scored his second of the game and eleventh of the season and other goals from Arron Hutchinson and Lewis Fraser the game was over as Gamballo had lost their earlier fluidity and tenacity.
The result confirms Town Lads qualification as Group Two winners for the semi finals whilst Gamballo will play PSL for the runners up spot.
