The Newcastle Social League (NSSL) produced its fair share of drama on Sunday.

Stella FC and Shining Stars were meant to start the day’s fixtures, but Shining Stars arrived at the grounds an hour late, thereby surrendering their points to Stella FC. However, Stella FC decided to play Shining Stars as a formality, even though the team knew they had the game in the bag.
