Here we go. Seventeen players:

            particktheunderdog
            JAGSMAN1968
            lady-isobel-barnett
            Peaty FC
            sandy
            elevenone
            Cfirejkl
            Aliballibee
            East Kent Jag II
            fifexile
            BILL.H
            Earnock Jag
            jaggy
            Auld Jag
            joe the driver
            Rid Skwerr
            Fawlty Towers
            
Three games this evening

            Syngenta  v  Auchinleck Talbot
            Pollok  v  Huntly
            Open Goal Broomhill  v  Brora Rangers
            
The Pollok v Huntly tie was switched to Friday night as it was due to be televised by the BBC. However, the broadcaster has pulled the plug as they no longer have the resources available. One guess as to why. 
Tough on Pollok as they will have prepared for the coverage. Tough on Huntly who would have brought more fans on  Saturday afternoon. Tough on us as we will now have to spend the evening watching a flag-draped box.
It is not known whether the clubs will still receive the tv money. I bloody hope so.

The last tie of the round is University of Stirling v Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale on Sunday afternoon.

All ties are played to a finish so standings up in time for Sunday tea.

Second Round draw on Sunday at 6pm.

Good luck all.

Only the one guess? Fairly obvious I suppose. The sad passing of Mikhail Gorbachev?

Great results for Broomhill & Pollock last night.

Yes, very good EKJ.

Pollok's first appearance in the Cup without having to qualify. They have won both their matches 6 - 0.

Broomhill were 1 - 1 on 88 mins, 2 - 2 at full time.

There's  a lot  of entertainment to be had at these games.

First Round standings

particktheunderdog leads!

 

This is indeed a total shocker and the standings table will be framed for posterity. I will go and check the results again. There must have been some brilliant upsets. Long may this continue.

I will be looking for ways to end this competition before the next round so that the league table is called as it stands and all prize money distributed accordingly.

I have got the following on speed dial for discussions on nefarious tactics, and of course I will be doing so in total secrecy and I will not be engaging with any of you guys who have a genuine interest in participating in this tournament:

1) Neil Doncaster

2) John Nelmes

3) The PTFC Trust

Good use of the seeding point system. You got 15 correct results and joe the driver got 19. In all,  10 players got more correct results than you.

In the Second Round there are some good looking seeded games too.
