Week 20: Malteser Munching

OMG Chairman can be heard munching

As we enter the Christmas fixtures, the munching of many Maltesers can be made out from the direction of Our Most Gracious Chairman's mucky boudoir.  It's always the same at this time of year... the whiff of pine, the rustle of tinsel and He immediately plunges head-first into the largest box of chocolate confectionery he can find at the bottom of his wardrobe.

We also see that current OFFL Champions, Livercoolio, have managed to stealthily sidle their way up into fourth place after such a desperately miserable - and widely celebrated - start to the season.  Could they be defending their title or is the current gap of 46 points going to be too much?  A mere ten points off second place is a pretty good recovery so far, what?

In other news OFFL Cup Fixtures are being played right now and if Steve Tierney can get his Oak Hamsters to score a similar Manager of the Week certificate-winning score - like what he did this week, innit - then he'll be laughing all the way to Round 2.  The Hamsters netted a scintillating 25 points propelling them up five places into fourteenth.

And finally, many marvellous congratulations to Meaden and Mally for their magnificent matrimonials.  A lovely couple.  Trust us.  They're lovely.  Trophy-less, but lovely.
