Week 26: The OFFL Cup First Round

The OFFL Cup Runners Up Prize on offer this year

Chi'Knees Czechers fall four places while Radnorshire Tigers jump three.

Meanwhile, Second Place changes hands as Norma Snockers extend their First Place lead at the top of the table.

We can hear the boos echoing round the corridors of OFFL HQ.

Thanks to last year's Cup winner, Craig McHugh, a donation of a Cup Winners Prize landed on Our Chairman's desk earlier in the season.  And like last season there's a runners up prize too.

...who are all through to the next round.

Current holders and donor of this year's prize, Real McDrid, have been booted out of the competition in the first round.  Also of note are the exits of 2nd, 3rd and 4th placers, Inter Milandrover, ADFC and Sheep City respectively. Sarah Bingham's Norma Snockers FC are on target for that elusive Double.

Manager of the Week is Sarah Bingham. Bingbong steered the young impressionable lads of Norma Snockers FC to a massive score of 42 points

Week 24: Shivam Shimmies in Shikshteenth Place

Shivam isn't used to this football malarkey

Sixteenth place Shivam Mehta has been suffering nothing but humiliation since we, here at Studmarks, so smugly accurately predicted his embarrassingly awful fall from the top of the table. Yet, this week sees him scoop a gasp-inbreathing runner-upping [with 19pts] in the grasp for the Manager of the Week certificate.  Which, this week goes to...

Manager of the Week is Smasher for choosing his team and transfers so carefully and cleverly that his Inter Milandrover, a team name he still thinks is funny after all these years, netted a marvellous 26 points shoving his up and down table presence into this week's fifth.

Don't forget, Dear All, it's the cup soon.  Week 26. Transfers anyone?

Week 23: Phillam Fills Up.

The Vejdovský Sisters

And for the second consecutive week, a manager issues a transfer, and instantly becomes Manager of the Week. No, not Jon King this time but Filip Vejdovský. That's right, after me everyone... "Vejdovský".

The manager of Phillham, Filip, chartered his Czech charges to churn out a chunky 19 points last week earning him the most wondrous of certificates.

And there we have it. All caught up.

Week 22: OFFL Cup First Round has been drawn

I really wish I hadn't put "Moobs" into Google

Well looky here... A chappy hands in his transfer request and immediately becomes Manager of the Week.  A collective retch can be heard up and down the OFFL landscape.

Jon King, Manager of the Week, 20 points. For his Moobs.

And now it's time for...

Week 21: Whooping Weavers

Manager of the Week this week is new-father-to-Jake Mark "@mrkwvrs" Weavers! His otherwise pathetic Pathetic Athletic notched up 25 massive points during this festive period.  Congratulations.  May Jake enjoy many quiet hours chewing the corners of the certificate.
