FFA Cup Round 1 Results

Dear All,

It's one of the most interesting and nerve-wrecking updates of the FF season, the FFA Cup First Round results.

Yes, the nail biting period is over and it's time to see who has made it into the last 16 of the Cup.

READ 'EM AND WEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........


MONKEYS LEAVE STRIKERS FEELING BLUE

True Blue Strikers 19 vs The Blue Monkeys 29

Shieldsy wins the battle of the blues with an impressive away win against higher placed opposition.


GAZZA STUFFS GOLDFISH WITH HIS HOT PIPE

Real Goldfish 33 vs Gazza's Piping Hots 42

Unlucky home defeat for the Goldfish against a rampant Gazza Mac.


GRAPES SQUEEZE THEIR JUICES OVER CREEPY CRAWLERS

Kirbs Crawlers 16 vs The Grapes of Raff 31

Comfortable away win for the league leader.


YER MA TELLS TOFFEES "YOU SUCK!"

Yer Ma's Athletic 25 vs The Toffees 21

Yer Ma goes through with close home win to end any female involvement in the cup.


GROOVERS LEFT BATTERED AND BRUISE-D

Ashburton Groove N7 18 vs Brendy's Bruisers 27

Great away win for the Bruisers against high flying Chuckle Brother.


BAZKING TURNS HEROES TO ZEROES

Bazking in Glory 29 vs Gold Coast Heroes 14

Comfortable home win as expected for Bazking.


HUNGARIANS WHACKED BY MAFIA

Gulladuff Mafia 31 vs The Well Hungarians 30

You've got to feel sorry for Nujo! When life's against you, it's defin-toot-ly against you. One solitary point, substitution, booking, etc has cost him dear against defending cup holder.


JOHNSTON SOCKS IT TO LOCAL RIVAL

Black Socks Red Tops 18 vs Minus Three FC 28

Comfortable away win for Brother Johnston in the Pilot's View derby match. Big Dave struggling of late.


VILLAINS PREPARE FOR SECOND COMING

Con Villa 26 vs The Prof's XI 26

Good home draw for the Villains. Can the Prof win the replay at home?


FAIRIES CAST SPELL OVER DUFF OUTFIT

Flexy's Fairies 23 vs Gulladuff F.F. 17

Flexy cruises through against former cup winner.


VIRGINS CLOSE LEGS ON CORDOZO CHANCES

Virgin Surfers 28 vs Jubilee Cordozo 25

The Virgins march on at the expense of the JCs to become the lowest placed team left in the competition.


JAMMY B*STARD GOES THROUGH TO NEXT ROUND

The Muppetaldinhos 0 vs Decies Ant Atac 13

All luck that has been taken fro Nujo has obviously gone to Decie as he cruises through with a hopeless score against the hapless Muppets.


HARPIC KICKS DOG IN BALLACKS

The Dogs Ballacks 27 vs Harpic Amsterdam 29

Great away win for the Harpics against the second placed Ballacks. Bad day all round for the Gooners.


MAC MAKES LIFE DARKER FOR PRINCE

Prince of Darkness 15 vs Maclacticos 32

The Prince's promising season goes from bad to worse as defending league champion's form continues to improve.


GURU GRINDS OUT RESULT

The Penalty Kings 24 vs The Busted Sofas 22

Self confessed footie guru squeezes past lowly Sofas. Banana skin avoided... only just!


MERSEY LOSES CHERRY

Cherry United 29 vs Mersey Miracles 8

The Cherries make sure that after round one, the O'Sullivan name won't be on the cup this year.
