League games

SCORES

Some seriously interesting score lines !  All of them impacting on the top table fight - DUM DUm dummmmm.... (pathetic attempt at atmos)

The Groovers drew with WKK (and from what I understand, the teams had a not terribly happy referee swearing and blinding at everyone.. sounds like he has ref'd 1 or 2 too many games and had enough !).

Madras beat Hendrix 8-0 - Hendrix only had 8 men turn up, with me making the 9th.  Playing left back which I have never done, unfit (I have had a run out twice in the last 9 months !), with dodgy ankle and knee, trying to protect the left flank from the onslaught of 2 men was... well...  an interesting challenge.   Shame other Hendrix players who were supposed to make it let their team mates down - difficult enough for a manager to run a team... ah, sod it, I end it there.  Well done Graham for trying to sort things out.  

Celtic scored a winner vs Loko in the 90th minute, keeping them in real contention in the league.   The cheer when they scored I am led to believe, was overheard in Putney.

Bob, with 9 men I understand beat Barnes 3-2.. With Bob's record in the league, thats quite something !  ;-)    

And the Bloods got a draw out of Lisbarnes, in what was a competitively fought game from what I hear - well done the Bloods.   This is completely opened up top table standings!

There are still some tough games out there to play and all to play for..  Celtic are to play Lisbarnes and WKK, so top table points for the grab..

League games

Big game was played - WKK vs Lisbarnes; I turned up with 20mns to go, and it was 1-0 to Lisbarnes.   Ended 5-0... think my yellow trainers matching Lisbarnes's tops must have been the key factor.  'nough said.

WKK 0  Lisbarnes 5

Celtic 2 Madras 1 

Hendrix 2 Groovers 3

Barnes 3 Loko 1

Bob 0 Bloods 2

Celtic also threatening close behind in 3rd position with 2 games in hand.. 

Was sorry to hear of a "punch up" and 2 red cards with the Groovers v Hendrix occured in last 5mns of the game.   I am sure the managers will have something to say to the players, and hope they will make informed decision on any banning required.. RIGHT !

Celtic 4 Bob 0

FINAL = WKK v Celtic (a good old classic)

Final Cup Round were ACTUALLY played !

What!?  noooo......  u mean... the games... they... they...  they... took place!?   Darn right !  Sweet Jesus Mary of God !  There is a .... 'n all that.

So glad the games were played - a burden of our minds - we can progress.  The scores were:

In the league:  Bloods 1 v Groovers 3

In the cup:

Uncle Bob 2  Barnes 2

Loko 0  Celtic 1

Lisbarnes 2  Hendrix 0  (game forfeited)

WKK 1  Madras 2

A great result for Madras who pip WKK to the main event semi's ! And a great one for Bob who had to at least draw to go through to the semi's rounds - if they hadn't, Bloods would have gone through on goal difference, so that was an important draw for them.   Well done to Barnes for getting to the main event semi's too; in fact, to all teams making it.  

So, final standings for the Semi's !

James Rettie Cup

Barnes v Groovers

Madras v Lisbarnes  

Barnesalona Cup

By the way, we had 50 goals in Group 1 and 48 goals in Group 2.  Total of 98 goals in 40 games..  Lisbarnes scored the most with 17 goals, Barnes had best goal difference +10, Uncle Bob conceded the most goals (16).
