Dear All,

The results of the quarter finals of the DITB FFA Cup are as follows;

The Blue Monkeys (P19)                    14      vs            31            Gunning for Glory (C3)

A really terrible season for Brother Shields is compounded by this humiliating defeat at the hands of the Conference League’s Brother Jones.  Evidence perhaps that the CL is now where the Blue Monkeys will find their level?

 

Cherry United (C4)                               16      vs            16            KFC Academical (P16)

Another PL failure against CL opposition but at least The Colonel will have another chance against Brother Cherry Snr (both teams being as bad as each other).  The replay will take place this weekend but if there’s another tie, then Cherry United will progress by virtue of the ‘home draw’ rule.

Harpic Amsterdam (P2)                     40       vs            10            Vuvuzola FC (P4)

Brother Risley didn’t show up for this match but even if he had, he would have found it hard to beat double-chasing Molloy.  A proper thumping!!!

 

Bleedin’ Red (P14)                               29      vs            30            Probably the Best (P6)

Having beaten The Chairman by a single point in the last round, the tables have cruelly turned on Brother Crudden this week as he is on the wrong end of a one point victory for Brother Stevenson.

 

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

The crucial draw for the semi-finals will be made next week when we find out the winner of the quarter final replay between Cherry Utd and KFC Academical.

League update to follow in due course.
