Week 22: OFFL Cup Group Stage Results

Gavin Ward and Alun Edwards are the Managers of the Week this week helping their respective Seb Blattered Cod and Radnorshire Tigers through to the next round of the OFFL Cup.  Congratulations both.  18 points each.

But, yes, what of the cup?  Any Oxford/Swansea-type shocks?

Well YES as it happens...

Runaway League Leaders, Minty's Minions CRASH OUT of the OFFL Cup after two weeks' worth of scores.  Minty Colquhoun will not be Doing The Double with her Minions this season in spite of being over 30 points ahead of the chasing pack in the League table.  Minty's miserly score of 5 meagre points last week was only enough to finish 2nd from bottom of Group A, which means She and her wannabe-Champions are OUT.

Oh Yoo Tee spells OUT.

Not through.  Not qualified.  Exited.  You are naturally inconsolable.  We know you had your heart set on that Louis Van Goal biography.

But what of the rest of you?

*Congratulations, however, for hitching yourself to manager of Old Malcolm Academicals, Malcolm Pratt, Mrs Pratt.

Minty's Minions

   From: Minty Colquhoun
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

I know this is tempting fate, especially as I'm top of the league and yet know nothing about football . . . but can I have Jordan Graham from Wolves on my team please?  I understand from my recent sojourn in the West Midlands that they beat Brighton 1 - 0 (away) which seemed to excite the entire household!

Lovely.

Chairman responds:
Congratulations, you win Star Email of the Week.
