Week 28: OFFL Cup 2nd Round Results

Manager of the Week this week is the hip-swivelling, microphone stand-tilting, lead singer from Loopy, Edgar Rayner. His Knievel United, notched up an impressive 23 points meaning whomever he played in the cup this week, is now out...

In the meantime, Inter Milandrover becomes the 5th 300 pointer of the season enabling the leapfrogging of BM Mingmongs into that fifth place. The gap separating Top Spot from Third is a nail biting 8 points yet, with so much of the season to go, the race is far from being won just yet.

Forget ye not: tis a marathon and NOT a sprint.

The cup, on the other hand, is a series of short term point gathering spasms. Thus enabling, believe it or not, an air of romance to permeate through this 'who's gonna win it this year' competition. Much as every annual competition could boast we suppose. Yeah. Romance of the cup. Silly thing to say. Ooh, keep your voice down, here she is... [do you think she heard]...

The OFFL Cup

Second Round Results

Sheep City 19 v 10 A God Called Fred

Wymondham Wanderers 16 v 23 Knievel United

BM Mingmongs 3 v 14 Tesco Value FC

HashaSmasha -3 v 6 Menarepigs Is Back

Arsenorm 18 v 13 Olymping Macdrid

Johnny's Heroes 7 v 11 Dube Stars

Livercoolio 15 v 17 Decimated Left Peg

Pompey Puss 3 v 6 RS T-Boy

RS T-Boy only just slip past the current Cup Holders, Pompey Puss, in a thrilling tie. Ten other teams could have defeated Rick's current table toppers had they been drawn against them. Like Wymondham Wanderers for instance who, in turn, could have defeated any of eleven other teams in that round. Alas, they were drawn against Knievel United. So their season seems to have crumbled to a nothing again. And Johnny's Heroes couldn't haul one of their mammothian weekly scores out of the bag for this week as they wither under the Dube Stars.
Etc etc.

Managers through to the next round...
Martyn Field, Edgar Rayner, Ashley Keeler, Kate Wilson, Mark Norman, Khumbula Dube, Neil Jukes and Rick Beecroft

Week 27: Twas the Week Before OFFL

Guy Harewood nabs the Manager of the Week certificate by leading his team to a respectable score of 15 points. A nice spot of form, you might say, before the cup competition this coming week.

It's just a shame that Mr Harewood's Torun Terrors were knocked out in the previous round.

Week 26: OFFL Second Round Fixtures

Well he's only gone and done it again. Unless the Umpa Lumpas have dropped another chocolate muffin in the works. But this time it's a 29 point weekly haul that is worthy a Manager of the Week certificate.

Yes, RS T-Boy extend their lead at the top of the table to 20 points by scoring his second 29 points in a row.

Three other teams have joined the T-Boys in breaking through the 300 point barrier despite losing ground on Mr Beecroft's band of merry men.

What happened to Decimated Left Peg's dominance, eh? [Sound of toilet flushing]

Week 25: New Leader and a birthday girl

We have a new leader. Rick Beecroft shows off his knickers at the top of the table but how long can he keep them up? Decimated Left Peg has been knocked from the Number One spot before by Dube Stars; surely he won't stand for this puffed up ankle nipping again.

Torun Terrors show off their Manager of the Week this week as Guy Harewood takes the certificate [not supplied] after scoring 34 points. Massive. It should also be noted, probably, how far Johnnies Heroes have climbed over the last few weeks. Dwelling around League position twenty-five until Week 18 there seemed to be sudden change in the Sarah John's wind leading to a steady climb up to seventh.

And finally, we have a birthday in the league. Man-hating [not] Kate Wilson is $%^& years old today, congratulations Kate. May Oxford United gain promotion back into the league so that your season ticket price goes up from its current £3.50 a year to £400 a year.

Giggle, giggle.
