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
