Before we move into 2009

The end is near - the end of 2008 that is.. and so, a new year will dawn, one that is named 2009, and... ah balls to it...  I could rabbit on a diatribe but I shalt not, for time is not long, and my xmas toys await me... 

LEAGUE TABLE

The table shows that the mighty Lisbarnes are but 1 point away from lying top, as the WKK's have ended the year on a high, the top spot, the apex, the 'n all that..  Celtic are lying 3rd, 9 points away from Lisbarnes, but possess 2 games in hand, which if they win both games will make them only 3 points behind, so its still all to play for !  Right !?!

The Groovers , Bloods, Barnes, Loko and Madras are all within 3 points of eachother, so the mid table looks very tight, though it is interesting to note that the Bloods have played a lesser number of games and so have ample opportunity to make up more points and reach for the yonder beyond..   You will have to excuse my wordings.. I am merely looking to make my task of commenting on this a tad more interesting for myself !...  not that this years competition is dull, but my sitting here at my desk is.   Aaaaaaanyway..  Uncle Bob are 2nd from bottom, and Hendrix are... well... to flower it up... erm... well... they are there.

THE CUP TABLES

Well, we have 1 more round of cup games to be played on the 25th Jan.  So, I wouldn't want to predict anything, but we do have Barnes proudly standing at the top of Grp 1 on 9 points, with WKK and Madras in 2nd and 3rd position with 6 points, and all are playing on 25th Jan.   WKK are actually playing Madras, so whoever wins that game will go to the main event that is called the James Rettie Cup, which actually means our proud Barnes are through to their first ever main event semi's !  Still all to play for for the semi's of the Barnesalona Cup for Bloods and Bob.

We also have, in Grp 2, the Groovers and Lisarnes moving into the next round of the JR Cup.  Loko, Celtic and Hendrix still to fight it out (by kicking a ball only thank u very much), for the semi's of the Barnesalona Cup.

POSTPONED GAMES TO DATE

The weather has once again taken its toll on our games, and you will receive an amended and updated fixture list via email.  You will see the games are to be played in April.   The fact that we are only playing 1 round of cup games to reach the semi's has proven most fruitful - thank you Eddie for relentlessly never giving up on getting the point across ;-)

And to SUM THINGS UP in a brief but courteous manner that befits the bullshit coming out of my fingers onto this keyboard..

It has been my most pleasurable season to date.   Why?  Simple - no major issues, no scandals, no pettiness, just good wholesome friendly competitive and respectful football.  For that, I thank the managers immensely - thank you !   Cereal.
