OFFICE FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE CHAMPIONS 2014/2015
Minty's Minions, managed by Minty Colquhoun on a score of 446 points
OFFICE FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE RUNNERS UP 2014/2015
Com-a ma mau papa com-a mau, managed by Guy Harewood on a score of 400 points
Well there we have it. It's official. At last. The lame beast that was 'OFFL 2015/2016' has finally been shot through the temporal bone and put out of its misery. Indeed, Minty Colquhoun has wiped the floor with the rest of the competition - an amazing margin of 46 points has claimed her first ever Office Fantasy League Championship. And it was a lead that had established itself some weeks ago, wasn't it? Yes.
Congratulations lovely lady. This is a fully deserved victory.
In the far distance, behind Minty's Minions' lunge for the line, limps Guy Harewood's disastrously monikered Com-a ma mau papa com-a mau. Livercoolio failed to overtake the 2006 OFFL Champion by just 3 points as Mr Harewood makes it to 400 points and secures the Runners Up position for 2015/2016.
Manager of the Week, and finally securing her twentieth place in the league, is Karyn Meaden. Her Bad Wolf United scooped 24 points. Congratulations Ma'am, may this be incentive enough for you to rejoin us next season.

OFFL Cup
--------
Since rebuilding his team after the OFFL Championship winning side of 2003, Rick Beecroft has come close to repeating that league success thrice, as runners up in 2009, 2010 and 2015. Rick's cup successes, however, have been limited to defeated finalists in 2014.
And his luck hasn't changed this year...
==============
OFFL Cup FINAL
--------------
RESULT
Inter Milandrover 6 v 0 RS-TBOY
Smasher Rick Beecroft
Yes, the Louis Van Goaal biography goes to Smasher for going one better than being 2001's defeated finalist and winning the OFFL Cup for the first time ever. What's that? The Inter Milandrover manager has generously decided to hand the prize to uber Man United fan Moobchester United? Yes, recent father and current successful-proposer-of-marriage Jon King will have hours of precious bedtime reading in between trips to the cot of a screaming infant. Congratulations all round, Sir. But especially on the receiving of the Louis Van Goaal biography.
And so here is the information that we all wish we had 42 weeks ago...

So that's it and, with enormous thanks for your contribution, we say farewell to the 2015/2016 season [CUE MONTAGE OF SEASON'S HIGHLIGHTS]. You've all been marvellous [yes, all of you].
Happy Birthday to Mr Nick Reed - a fine finish to leave your Guess Hughton fourth. Champions League-worthy stuff indeed. As soon as you picked your team it practically drove itself. [DYSWIDT?]
May Euro 2016 be wonderful.
Ciao for now.
