After the final game in the New Years day Premier League fixtures (lets not dwell on that please), the scores for the FFL Cup first round are as follows:

Tillys All stars (tilly) 12 vs 9 Brexit Boys (Jamie)

Dens Men (Ben) 21 vs 27 Poquerjoe (Carl)

Long Pants (Ray) 5 vs 10 Plea Luiz (Bodhinaga)

3xCentre backs (Rogerio) 14 vs 19 Jamie Vardy’s having a Party (Sam)

Brooks will tear you apart FC (Jenny) 20 vs 7 It’s tough at the top (Ted)

Scissored Pizza (Alistair) 18 vs 1 Word Salad (Rob)

Freddy Hardest (Alex) 8 vs 25 Omnishambles (Ed)

Points to ponder:

- four teams scored over 20 points in a very high scoring round of games
- one of these was eliminated — table-topping Dens Men, beaten 21 — 27 by Poquerjoe
- cup holders Jamie Vardy’s having a party go through to the Quarter finals
- Rob’s team (Word Salad) were the low scorers of the weekend with a paltry 1 point

So, the line up for the quarter finals is:

Tilly’s All Stars vs Anything but Bottom (Neil)
PoquerJoe vs Please Luiz
Jamy Vardy etc vs Brooks will Tear you apart
Scissored Pizza vs Omnishambles

Matches will be played over the weekend of Sat/Sun/Mon 2nd, 3rd, 4th February

Cheers

Gents,

The draw for the opening round of the FFL Cup season 2018/19 has been made and, as tradition dictates, the matches for the opening round will be played across the New Year Fixtures (this year there are 3 days of Premier League fixtures which comprise the New Year fixture list, from Tuesday 1st Jan through to Thursday 3rd Jan.
So matches on those day will count towards our FFL Cup fixtures.

The draw:

Tillys All stars (tilly) vs Brexit Boys (Jamie)

Dens Men (Ben) vs Poquerjoe (Carl)

Long Pants (Ray) vs Plea Luiz (Bodhinaga)

Three Centre backs (Rogerio) vs Jamie Vardy’s having a Party (Sam)

Brooks will tear you apart FC (Jenny) vs It’s tough at the top (Ted)

Scissored Pizza (Alistair) vs Word Salad (Rob)

Freddy Hardest (Alex) vs Omnishambles (Ed)


Anything but Bottom FC (Neil) gets a bye into the quarter finals.

....................................................................................................

Usual FFL Cup rules.....
Any replays will be held the following weekend.

Good luck to everyone


Cheers (and Happy New Year to one and all)

After reaching the final with some very high scores, defences were on top in the final and both teams scored fewer points.

However, all that money Sam spent on Pogba proved to be worth it and his brace in the Manchester derby was the highlight of an otherwise low-scoring final

The result of this years final is:


One Vogue for Three FC 8 vs Three Centre Backs -2


So commiserations to Rogerio — a creditable cup run in your first FFL season, BUT CONGRATULATONS to Sam — consistently the highest scorer in every round of this years Cup.

So, well deserved. All you need to do now Sam, is keep pestering Alex to bring the trophy to this years Auction (perhaps we need to get Pickles to help find it ! — ref: 1966 world cup)

Cheers everyone — another successful FFL CUP season — here’s to next year.

Results of the FFL Semis:


Sam (one Vogue for 3) 14 vs Neil (Anything but Bottom Again) 5

Rogerio (three Centre Backs) 9 vs Jamie (Zlat and the Bainesstalk) 5



So, the last of the Kirkmans fell in the semi, and Cup Favourite, Sam, marches into the final with another big score.

Rogerio makes the final in his debut season with a great win over Jamie.

So the cup final will be between Sam and Rogerio and is scheduled to take place over the weekend of 7th/8th/9th April

Good luck to both teams

Yours

After last nights shock result at Watford, there have been one or two shocks of our own in FFL. Results below:

Carl (On our Way) -4 vs 3 Neil (Anything but Bottom)

Sam (One Vogue, etc) 15 vs 5 Tilly (All Stars)

Rogerio (Three Centre Backs) 10 vs 8 Ben (As Mkhitar gently weeps)

Jamie (Zlat and the Beanstalk) 6 vs 2 Alex (Title No 7)


So, Rogerio turns around a losing position at half time to overcome Ben’s challenge (which means that Ben misses out on a 3rd consecutive final)

Sam establishes himself as Cup favourite with a stunning 15 points scored and a big ten point margin over Tilly

Neil, as sole surviving Kirkman in the Cup, manages scrape into the semis - Come on you Kirkmans !

Jamie beats Alex so that Sir Alex will be trophy-less for the first time in a year or two ! What is the world coming to !

Semi finals will be played over the weekend of Saturday/ Sunday/Monday 3rd/4th and 5th March and matches will be between:

Sam vs Neil

Rogerio vs Jamie

Best of luck to the four teams left in it


Cheers
