First and foremost, MERRY CHRISTMAS one and all :-thumbup
Qualifying - GW17
Nearly all of us made it through qualifying, with the only casualties being Badm******s and Drighlington Dream.
Round 1 - GW18
Some of the big SL hitters are already out of the Cup. Last season's top Cup team, Norm's Donkeytown, made it to Round 6 last term but fell at the first hurdle this time, going down to FC Roma 46-37. My team Dynamo Sol went out in somewhat cruel fashion, losing 34 to 30 against Sullivan's Winners of the Top Footy Brain Cup. rolfw will also feel bitter about his elimination, as Satellites Screwballs were defeated 31-28 by Big Sam's Total Footi from Team Yorkshire league. T_G's Satellites RED were also narrowly put to the wall by Cool, 44-41. Also out: Toondrastic, MU Super Reds, Tossers, RED United, Premier CFC (PS, notice how all the 'RED' teams are out!)
The SupaLiga champions, mhku's Mucho Calor Huy!, did make it through though only just, coming through against Devil's Rejects of the Tesco Allstar league 47 to 44 points. Creatures (kreacher) also had to endure a tight contest to advance, kicking Kick Up The Crouch out with a 36-33 win. Two of the bottom three, Weepio Pirates and Athletica Booshank, are still flying the flag for SL. Calcio Carlo Ancelotti, Paraletic Athletic, Dragoes do Blackburn, Scumdee, Bordersat, Dragoes and Rainbow Warriors have all advanced to Round 2.
