Week 37: OFFL Cup Semi-Finals Draw

The Wet Fish-Slap of Reality
  
It's that time of the year when Our Most Gracious Chairman has been too busy checking his MySpace profile and forgets that the season might be running out of weeks.  The usual flailing arms and panicked head-scratching would indicate that He's forgotten to schedule the OFFL Cup within enough weeks to play it.

So this year [if you can imagine it] OMG Chairman was flicking the doughnut crumbs off his continually ballooning belly, and about to plunge into a beautiful snooze, when the wet fish of reality slapped him harshly across the face.  Convulsing with panic, he vaulted into the green leather chair of his bureaux followed by the dragging of a chubby little finger down a column of dates in his Danii Minogue calendar while his tongue apprehensively clings to the outside of his upper lip.

"Ah," he thinks with relief "that could have been embarrassing"

The moment passes and he mops his brow with a polka dot hankie.

And thus...

--------
OFFL Cup
========
Semi-Finals, to be played over Week 39

           RS-TBOY v Inter Milandrover
     Rick Beecroft   Smasher

Dowds Farm Goblins v Moreton Rovers
      Nick Borrett   Edgar Rayner


Meanwhile, the Manager of the Week certificate goes to Stanley and Kate Wilson for skippering their Epic Yellowz to a chunky 11 points, boosting themselves up one place into Seventh.  They are 34 points off the top.  Couple of Winston Reid hat-tricks and they'll be right back in it.
