Zimmerman - I kid you not... yes the draw was done by mrs Z.... but there were no warm balls in use!
Goldenshilling

Whooopee I'm up for the Cup.

Ps. What's a Bi. ? Is it Bi as in Bi-Sexual, like me, I can't get it for nothing so I have to Bi it.

Nice one Zim.....I'm up for some giant-killing!

not this year kk

Darn it......forgot you could see my shambles of a team doc!
You have every right to feel confident!

Biggest giant killings of the round go to Division 1's Welsh Wizard and Chris Harry who overcome Premiership Villains, Ton (top of the table no less) and last season's runner up Gazwood.

There's a relative upset as previously unbeaten and high flying Mrs Bell is beaten by Takeshi Kovac (although he is reigning Premiership champion).

Suzykins almost claimed a Premiership scalp... and he would have if I had posted the scores last night (until I realised there was still a game to play). Sadly that additional game resulted in 5 more points for the Dr Bell and a 1 point victory.

La Log newcomer Erased Citizen claims a championship scalp (pa102aw) in another cup upset.

Despite being top of the Championship, Birchy was unable to overcome La Log whipping boy, Andy Jones. Granted, it went down to penalties, but the record books will show an Andy Jones victory.

Round 1
Takeshi Kovacs 52 v 47 mrs bell
pa102aw 49 v 51 Erased Citizen
Gazwood 33 v 39 Chrisharry12345
Mistercuts 33 v 21 Aknel
Karrde 31 v 67 Miles_T
dr bell 26 v 25 Suzykins

Rainycat 20 v 32 Zarch
Kid Kongo 20 v 34 the doc
sdhough 60 v 39 Arsenal4EvERr
Andy Jones 31 v 31 Birchy
Andy progresses on penalties, no defenders scored, both had Young and Bent. Therefore it goes down to the cheapest team.
Demorgoth 15 v 40 Zita
The Ton 39 v 41 Welsh-Wizard

Round 2
Goldenshilling v Ebbsfleet
Doggfazsha v Erased Citizen
Welsh-Wizard v Mistercuts

sdhough 27 v 28 Takeshi Kovacs

those in blue, have no players involved in tonight's game

looks like im going out then

Only one match involved teams from different divisions (and that went the way of the favourite), so no giant killings this round.

Commiserations to Zarch, he loses out by a single point.

Bigger commiserations to ChrisHarry... he has the shame of losing to Andy Jones

Quarter Finals
Doggfazsha v Ebbsfleet
Andy Jones v dr bell
Takeshi Kovacs v Miles_T
Mistercuts v Zimmerman

ties to be played 09/10/11 May

These scores are not final. Although, from a quick glance it appears only Mistercuts has anyone involved tonight (Alves).

Doggfazsha 18 v 50 Ebbsfleet
Andy Jones 21 v 36 dr bell
Takeshi Kovacs 20 v 23 Miles_T
Mistercuts 28 v 28 Zimmerman

The final (and official) results will be posted tomorrow.

Mistercuts, if it stays as it is, I would progress on penalties (no goals score by any of our defenders, 2 from my midfield and only 1 from yours).

You only need a 7/10 or goal from the Brazilian. Its easily done (especially against that Newcastle defence).

Despite an average domestic season from Miles T, he's through to the semi final thanks to a victory over premiership Takeshi.

Zimmerman and Dr Bell maintain the formbook as both Premiership teams overcome their lower league opponents. Albeit, yours truly relying on penalties.

Ebbsfleet, having secured promotion to the Championship makes up the semi final quartet thanks to a resounding victory over fellow Division one team, Doggfazsha.

Quarter Finals
Doggfazsha 18 v 50 Ebbsfleet
Andy Jones 21 v 36 dr bell
Takeshi Kovacs 20 v 23 Miles_T
Mistercuts 28 v 28 Zimmerman
Zimmerman goes through on penalties: no defenders scored, zimmerman had 2 midfielder goals and Mistercuts 0.

Semi Final
Miles_T v Ebbsfleet
Zimmerman v dr bell

Games to be played 16/17 May

oh bigger - completely missed this thread! Well congrats on your slenderest of slender wins (I don't care I'm back in the La Log Prem division )

Its commiserations to Dr Bell and Miles T as Zimmerman and Ebbsfleet progress to the final.

Having narrowly avoided relegation, Dr B narrowly misses a cup final berth.

Meanwhile, Ebbsfleet follows up his promotion to the Championship with a chance at cup glory.

Final to be played next weekend (of course).

Semi Final
Miles_T 25 v 29 Ebbsfleet
Zimmerman 39 v 29 dr bell

Ebbsfleet won the toss and gets the home dressing room for the final.

Final
Ebbsfleet v Zimmerman
To be played Sunday 24th May

Ebbs is the inaugral winner of the La Log Cup.

Congratulations Ebbs. The big occassion just too much for my players. They froze like rabbit's in the headlights.

Final
Ebbsfleet 21 v 13 Zimmerman
