Match report!

From Coach Mathew Russ :

Santos 6 vs 4 DTFC Titans

Another week, another away game, and another tough opponent. Despite recent results going against us, Titans have put in some positive performances. Today was not one of those ??

With several players missing through illness or injury, and with three injured players having to play to ensure we had sufficient numbers, it was always going to be tough.

Titans could not deal with the Santos front three and found themselves 3-1 at halftime.

Santos started the second half well and took a 6-2 lead, following some errors from the Titans players. The Titans eventually woke up and started to play some positive football. Titans managed to pull 2 more goals back, but it was too little too late.

The Titans goalscorers were: Lewis, Kyan and Sutts x2.

The Socius24 player of the match was Kris Kolev who worked tirelessly, showed some great dribbling skills and kept his head up when things didn’t go well.

Independent Carriers

How can you optimise your deliveries through working with these adaptable powerhouses of logistics? As e-commerce continues to expand, carriers play a vital role in quick, efficient deliveries.

Why they matter:

Swift adaptation to demands

Bespoke service building trust

Filling delivery niches large carriers can't
