After an exciting, tense, final match last night the results of the 1st Round FFL Cup matches are in:
Rob Coffin Dodgers 0
vs vs
Carl On our way 7
Neil Anything but Bottom 5
vs vs
Will Will's Team 0
Sam One Vogue for Three FC 9
vs vs
Ed Radio Lacazette Player 8
Ray Free Full Backs 2
vs vs
Tilly Tilly's All Stars 6
Rogerio Three Centre Backs 8
vs vs
Alistair Not Very Neigbourly -1
Bodhinaga Title Number-4 9
vs vs
Ben As Mkhitar Gently weeps 10
Ted Rince Aid 4
vs vs
Jamie Zlat and the Baines Stalk 6
Alex Hart Throws Title No-7 9
vs vs
Jenny Blades of Glory Can do it -3
So in the repeat of last years final Ben comes out on top in a close match, and last years winner (Bodhinaga) falls at the first fence
Likewise, this year’s current league leader (Ted) goes out and Jamie proceeds to the quarter finals
In the match that caused the flurry of Whatsapp texts last night, Sam comes through by a single point as two-times winner in recent years (Ed) gets the taste of defeat.
Rob’s non-team gets what it deserves and bids a sorry goodbye to this years FFL, as Carl goes through to the Quarters
The other winners were: Neil, Alex, Rogerio and Tilly.
Cheers

Gentlemen
The draw for the 1st Round of this seasons Fantasy Football Cup was made today at FFL Cup Headquarters, Mill Cottage.

Here is the full draw:
Rob Coffin Dodgers
vs vs
Carl On our way
Neil Anything but Bottom
vs vs
Will Will's Team
Sam One Vogue for Three FC
vs vs
Ed Radio Lacazette Player
Ray Free Full Backs
vs vs
Tilly Tilly's All Stars
Rogerio Three Centre Backs

Alistair Not Very Neigbourly

Alex Hart Throws Title No 7
vs vs
Jenny Blades of Glory Can do it
The more observant of you will have noticed that we have an unusual twist this year. Rob doesn’t have a FFL team but rather than award a bye, he has been entered into the FFL Cup.
His team score will always be zero, which means to beat him his opponent (Carl, in the first round) must get a positive score. A negative result will see Rob progress into the next round.
Other than that, its the same as usual — in each %u201Cmatch%u201D the best team score over the nominated weekend progresses to the next round.
1st round matches will take place (as tradition dictates) over the new year period and includes those Premier League fixtures on 1st, 2nd and 3rd January, BUT NOT the matches on 4th January.
The draw has thrown up an interesting match between last years finalists (Bodhinaga vs Ben).
Can last years winner (Bodhinaga) do it again, or, will Ben progress towards a third consecutive final (having finished runner-up for the last two years).
Good luck everyone in this years Cup, and wishing you all a fab Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
Cheers

I've felt like Conte this season not sir Alex leading from almost the start to finish. Any chance of some competition next season??? The kohns have now won the last 3 titles so the kirkmans need more preparation work than ever. Me and sam will continue our booze approach. Can't wait for next season for the Yorkshire Championship to start and laugh at all those deluded piggy fans thinking they've got a chance. WAWAW
Well it turned out that Fox News got it right !!
After a high scoring wins for both team in the semi finals, the final was a low-scoring, dour affair.
Ben’s team — Free Full Backs — had a near full house of zero points, with only Delli Alli getting 2 for an assist.
Bodhinaga’s — A Mahrez a Day — did a little better, with points for Fuchs (3), Walcott (3), Ozil (2) offset by Cahill and Clichy each scoring minus —1
So the final score was:
Free Full Backs 2 A Mahrez a Day 6
So, commiserations to Ben on a near miss (a great effort considering he had so many injured players), BUT......
Congratulations to Bodhinaga on getting his hands on the Cup once again. It may be the first leg of a glorious double, though Sir Alex may have something to say about that (as indeed may Jamie).
So that’s it for another Cup year — a pat on the back for the marvellous organisers. See you all ay the next auction.

Well it was back to the quill pen and abacus to work out the scores of the two semi-final matches.
The results (as taken from the Classic Fantasy League web site) are:
Zlat and the BainesStalk (Jamie) 0 vs A Mahrez a Day (Bodhinaga) 14
Cech —2 Fuchs 3
Baines —2 Clichy 3
Sterling 2 Mahrez 3
Sigurdson 2 Lukaku 3
Cabaye 2
Coffin Dodgers (Rob) 0 vs Free Full backs (Ben) 18
O’Shea -1 Tadic 7
McAuley -1 Arnautovic 6
Crouch 2 Alli 5
So, convincing wins for Ben and Bodhinaga mean we have the Kohn/Kirkman final that Fox News predicted, and the footballing world wanted to see.
Next stop Wembley ------> Final to be played over the weekend of Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd April. May the best team win, AND may the web site be fixed by then !!

Zlat and the Beanstalks vs A Mahrez a Day
