Perry pens mega deal

London Town captain Daniel Perry has signed new contract with the club - a record-breaking seven-year deal that sees him earn £250,000-a-week, which will make him the highest-paid player in BritLeague history.

The England CSA defender, who only joined Town last year while they were still known as Ajax London, has excelled after the former Barnsworth captain came to the club in July, immediately taking the armband and winning two CSA England Cups and a CSA England Super Cup.

"This club gonna be big for a long time yet," Perry stated in a press conference. "And I want to be apart of it."

"I came here to take this club forward. I want to be apart of the world domination this club's gonna get."

Perry started at Barnsworth since he was 14, and signed as a trainee at 17. With Barnsworth, he won the CSA Cup, two E-League titles and an E-League Cup. Shortly before his departure from Barns Park, then-teammate Adam Carter (who now plies his trade for East Anglia Knights) described him as "Mr. Barnsworth," a nickname that Perry apparently dislikes.

"Yeah, I love Barnsworth, I played for them for a decade, but I'm not Mr. Barnsworth anymore, and I never was. I'm a London Town player now, so why not call me Mr. London Town!" Perry joked.

London Town through the CCC group stages

London Town eased through over their Finnish opponents Jyväskylä Warriors in the CSA Club Championship qualifiers with two 5-0 victories, giving them a 10-0 aggregate and a place in the group stages.

Town annihilated the Warriors in Finland, with goals from Scott Bridges, Kemal Kubilay, Shane Macdonald and a brace from Marek Pozanek.

And then Blues followed it up at HMV Park with another spanking of their opponents, with Gary Howard and Yannick Bourgeois scoring along with John Carey who scored the first hat-trick of his career, as the young 20-year-old striker is a serious contender for Newcomer of the Year in both the BritLeague and CSA Football.

To put insult to injury for the young Finnish team - who were only founded in 2005 - they finished the second leg with nine men after Hannanen and Myskaala were sent off.

CSA England Super Cup: London Town 6-4 London City

CSA England Cup winners London Town defeated E-League champions London City in a high-scoring all-London curtain raiser at the brand new CSA England Stadium.

Billy Bernhardt, John Carey, Andrea Romano, Ashton Reid, Daniel Perry and James Douglas all scored for Town, while City's Matt Collins scored a hat-trick and Chris Chaplow also scored.

City now will look forward to the E-League season which begins next week, as well as preparing for the CSA Champions League next month.

Town will now continue out the BritLeague season, as well as starting their campaign in the re-branded CSA Club Championship later this month.
