Dear All,

The results of the DITB FFA Cup Quarter Finals are as follows...

The Rio Chargers (C1) 21 vs 36 Maclacticos (P13)

The Chargers are really charging ahead in their debut season in the Conference League, looking nailed on for promotion. Here’s a chance to see how they will fare against the big boys. Maclacticos are former cup winners but somehow I don’t get the feeling that Brother Jenkins will be shaking in his boots. Sorry Doc!!

The Doc shows the difference between the Premiership and the Conference League – one is brilliant, the other is shit. One nil to the Premier League and Brother McNally now has a second cup triumph in his sights.

License 2 Roam (C6) 13 vs 34 Support Your Own LFC (P11)

A possible corker which is sure to make their mobile phone companies a fortune. Texts will be flying when Chuckie Junior takes on the self proclaimed football guru in another Conference vs Premiership grudge match. Surely the tie of the round!

Hardly a corker as the Guru puts Chuckie Junior in his place with a comprehensive away win. Two nil to the Premiership as Brother Walls eyes up his first ever trophy.

Yer Ma's Athletic (P14) 24 vs 16 Minus Three FC (P7)

Funny how the least exciting game on paper looks to be the round’s only all-Premiership tie. Minus Three are the bookie’s favourites as Brother Johnston has shot from the relegation zone to the top ten as quick as he got married. Shotgun!!!

Wasn’t very exciting on paper and wasn’t very exciting in reality either to be honest. Good win for Brother Jones though over a very disappointing (and disappointed) Brother Johnston.

Joeys Monsters (C3) 32 vs 32 Diaby Does Dallas (P5)

The leading teams in the Conference have performed well in the cup this season but Brother McCabe faces a tough battle against ‘Triple D’ Brogan – that’s nothing to do with his team name by the way, just the size of the bra he needs for his man boobs.

Otherwise known as The Conference’s Last Stand, it was up to Joey’s Monsters to take the fight to the Premiership’s Diaby Does Dallas. A tremendous effort sees Brother McCabe steal a draw and earn himself a replay against the Brog-meister – with scors kicking off TONIGHT as a result of a few midweek fixtures. The Conference lives to fight another day as an entire league of no-hopers throw their support behind The Monsters.

So there you have it my friends. Congratulations to our winners and commiserations to our losers.

The four teams remaining in this year's DITB FFA Cup are...

Maclacticos (P)

Support Your Own LFC (P)

Yer Ma’s Athletic (P)

Joeys Monsters (C) OR Diaby Does Dallas (P)

The crucial draw for the semi-finals will be made next week – when we find out the winner of the quarter final replay.

League update to follow tomorrow.
