As for Bradley, it’s nine games and nine losses although with the boost in reputation gained from a greater social media profile, Bradley have great potential to build for the future during this season.
Jack Aitken was on top form for Flint Mountain, continuing the grand goalscoring ability he and strike partner Jon Edmonds possess. Such great wins like this put Flint Mountain favourites to win the league but they will have Acton hot on their heels.
