The Bun Cup

The Bun Cup (no sniggering please) competition will soon be with us. The Chairman has most honorably provided us with sufficient time to improve our teams ahead of the competition. The first round of the cup will be played in the first week of January, the quarters in the first week of February, the semis in the first week of March and the final will take place in the first week of May. If any of those weeks turns out to be an F.A. Cup week, then it will be delayed by one week, all clear.

The big shocker in round one was the dumping out of the top team FBI's XI Most Wanted by bottom of the table Dynamo Ferret Internationale by one solitary point. As giant killing acts go, they don't get any bigger. Chun's boys were also knocked off the top by Mike this week, so celebrations all round for him.

We should also note - as our Chairman so astutely points out - the achievements of Yalda and Bal. With her astonishing points total of seven one could be forgiven for thinking that at least four of them were own goals on Michael's part. And young Bal scraped through against Nigel with a score of just sixteen.

The second round could be interesting. With both Chengs qualifying in the same half of the draw in different games we could in prospect be facing a Cheng vs. Cheng semi unless Sir Skey and Scab Bal can pull it out of their respectives bags. Good luck to them. In the other half of the draw the only team from the top of the table left is You're Shit, so things could go Senor Lunt's way there, although one Shasha Khan has shown himself to be no pushover in this affair of late.

Beting News

All bets have been cancelled due to lack of interest and to me being too tight apparently. Some of you seemed to think that even Li and Yalda had a chance to win still, something which I could not see happening frankly. The book is therefore closed for good.
