FFL Cup Results.

Dear All,

"Remember that this weekend is the first round proper of the FFA Cup and looking at the matches taking place, I do believe that it's going to be a pure lottery. I predict that there will be a few giant killing feats to report next week! No-one is safe."

You may remember this line from last week's update and once again the Chairman has been proven right!

In eight matches involving Premier vs Conference league teams, a remarkable SEVEN have been won by the team in the lower division!!!

This means that an impressive NINE teams from the Conference will be in the hat for the last 16 draw!!!

Amongst the losers in this giant-killing extravaganza is none other than yours truly so there'll be no slagging from me!

And now the moment you've all been waiting for... the official results:


P (Premier League) C (Conference League)


Harpic Amsterdam (P) 21 vs 11 Flexy's Fairies (P)

Jammy Molloy cries his way into last 16 with a pathetic score!!!


Yer Ma's Athletic (C) 43 vs 35 Brendy's Bruisers (P)

Confident Conference leader leaves high flying premier team Bruised and battered.


The Grapes of Raff (P) 43 vs 45 Joey's Monsters (C)

Grapes suffer a narrow home defeat to the Conference's Wizard of Oz!


Muckamore Utd (C) 34 vs 26 True Blue Strikers (P)

Battle of the relegation strugglers results again in a home win for the Conference side!!


Au Revoir Thierry14 (P) 50 vs 48 Chelsea Daggers (P)

Guru Walls wins this high-scoring battle of the Premier League big guns. Chelsea Daggers manager hires new accountant!!


Rafa's Goatee (P) 55 vs 42 Ylkneverbreathefrankie (P)

Former cup champion back to winning ways in the Battle of Gulladuff!


Steprightin (C) 45 vs 42 Maclacticos (P)

Defending cup champion knocked out in first round by Conference challenger. Another Gulladuffian in the last 16!


Minibabybelle FC (P) 41 vs 46 Gazza'a Piping Hots (C)

Conference high flyer Gaz sends the chauvinists into raptures by putting paid to female involvement in the last 16. Another prmier League team bites the dust.


Cherry United (P) 49 vs 49 Kirbs Crawlers (P)

The only match to go to a replay - which should be high scoring affair with both mid-week and weekend matches to be counted!!! Result next Wednesday.


Happy Monkeys (P) 43 vs 40 Prince of Drakness (P)

Premier League leader knocked out by a very Happy Monkey indeed!!


Minus Three FC (P) 23 vs 46 KFC Academical (P)

Brother Johnston's season goes from bad to worse with a hammering at home to the Colonel!


Real Goldfish (P) 31 vs 33 Black Socks Red Tops (C)

The Conference onslaught continues as Brother Nightingale sends The Mac singing home!!! Sweet music for the underdogs.


Boys of Summer (C) 41 vs 27 The Busted Clampets (C)

Boys of Summer enjoy a comfortable home win in this all-Conference clash with the Clampets.


Sheer Kidology FAF (P) 43 vs 54 Virgin Surfers (C)

Big upset as Conference strugglers Virgin Surfers clock up an impressive away win at the Premier League's Sheer Kidology. Some would say FAF!!!


The Well Hungarians (C) 49 vs 28 Hoofers Utd (C)

What odds on Nujo crying his way to the FFA Cup final??? It's him or Molloy for me after this win against the Hoofers in the all-Conference tie.


The Dogs Ballacks (P) 47 vs 24 Fernando Muppetorres (C)

At last!! No upset on the cards as defending league champion Brogan clocks up a routine home win against the Muppets. Maynesy, you let your league down!
