BowenBoys Posted September 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowenBoys Posted September 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 1 hour ago, East Kent Jag II said: 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
