BPR Men's 2-4 Sue's Angels FC, 24 May 2026

Sue’s Angels maintained their iron grip on the top of League Ten with a 4-2 victory over BPR FC on Saturday, keeping their perfect record intact with one game remaining in the season. A dominant first-half display, a nerve-testing comeback from the opposition, and a clinical finishing performance in the closing stages ensured the boys stayed on course for what would be a remarkable perfect league campaign – and that’s the kind of thing that deserves celebration at this level, where consistency and hunger don’t always go hand in hand.

The XI rolled out as follows: Luke Munns in goal, Andrew Allen at left-back, Dean Knight on the right, Jim El Bayati and Richard Epathite in the centre of defence, Kafele Brown and Stewart Luwawa anchoring the midfield, Abiola Adio, Jon Lloyd, and Frazier-Isaías Osunkoya in the three attacking midfield spots, with Charlie Dunkley leading the line. Off the bench came William Clark, Kyrell Mullings, and Samakab Nur.

Sue’s Angels came out of the blocks with purpose and put two goals on the board before half-time through the clinical finishing of Charlie Dunkley. Jon Lloyd set up the opening goal with a well-weighted assist, and Dunkley made no mistake – composed, clinical, exactly the kind of finish that has made him one of the league’s most dangerous forwards this season. Minutes later, Dunkley struck again, this time on the back of an assist from Frazier-Isaías Osunkoya, doubling the advantage and seemingly putting the match to bed early. Those two calm finishes – the hallmark of a striker in form – gave us a commanding position and set the tone for what we thought would be a fairly straightforward afternoon.

But football, even at Sunday-league level, has a way of humbling you. Echoing the reverse fixture earlier in the season, BPR emerged from the interval with renewed purpose and clawed their way back into the contest. Two quick-fire goals either side of the break hauled them level at 2-2, and suddenly the ground felt the familiar unease of a game slipping away. The déjà vu was palpable – we’d been here before against these opponents, and the pattern threatened to repeat itself. Credit to BPR; they showed character and refused to go quietly. But it’s in moments like these that a team’s true mettle is tested, and Sue’s Angels didn’t blink.

The pivotal moment came when Frazier-Isaías Osunkoya, operating in his usual creative role through the middle, won a penalty. Andrew Allen, responding brilliantly to the disappointment of last week’s cup final loss, stepped up and restored our lead at 3-2 with a composed conversion. The significance of that goal cannot be overstated – it was the moment that steadied the ship when the waters were choppy, and it sent a message to BPR that we weren’t about to fold. Allen’s response after that cup final heartbreak showed character and hunger; this is a player who understands what it takes to bounce back.

In the closing stages, Osunkoya added a fourth, driving through the middle with purpose and finishing confidently on his weaker right foot to seal the points. It was a performance that captured everything the 24-year-old midfielder has brought to the side this season: creativity, decisiveness, clinical finishing when it matters. Beyond his two assists, the penalty he won was the catalyst for our comeback, and that’s the kind of all-action contribution that wins leagues.

Luke Munns deserves particular mention for a string of high-quality saves in the first half that kept us in control during moments when BPR threatened to ignite. But it was his distribution that caught the eye too – his ball-playing ability off his feet showed another dimension to his game, and in modern football, even at this level, a goalkeeper who can operate in possession is invaluable. Jim El Bayati, our captain, was named Player of the Match, a recognition of his commanding presence at the heart of the defence and his leadership on the pitch.

With one league game remaining and a 100% record intact, Sue’s Angels are now within touching distance of something genuinely special. A perfect league season at Sunday-league level is rare – it demands consistency, professionalism, hunger, and the ability to respond when things go wrong. This performance, for all its wobbles, had all of those things. One more push, and we’ll have something to be genuinely proud of.
