SEASON NINE: PART FOUR
MATCHDAY 30
It's almost all over. Kepayan's draw with Sembulan means the title race could be all over next week. Avidia United face Iskara Daii, with the Eagles retaining the title if they avoid defeat. It's also good news for sixth-placed Foxchester, who cut the gap to six points behind Sembulan and that last TQCC spot.

MATCHDAY 31
It's only fitting, really. Alexio Del Nieran has been the big name in the Avidia line-up all season, and it was his goal, late in the first half, that defeated Iskara Daii and confirmed that Avidia United have retained the Liga Calania title.
Below that, Kepayan lost to Ousevale, and Royal Emberton's win over Sembulan elevates them to third spot.
Results
Ousevale Borough 2-1 Kepayan
Likas 3-2 Telecontarë
Sembulan 0-1 Royal Emberton
Iskara Daii 0-1 Avidia United - Avidia United are champions

Stanton Town 1-1 Corinthian Spirits
Putatan 0-0 Caledon Simpson
Penningworth United 1-0 Hallad Reavers
MATCHDAY 32
With the Aquila d'Or decided, thoughts turn to UICA qualification, bragging rights, and the fight to avoid the Segunda. There's also the small matter of the Copa Calania semi-finals, and Avidia United going for the double.
Big news of the day was Kepayan going second, following a solid win over the Royals and Iskara's defeat to Foxchester. Telecontarë, meanwhile, defeated Ousevale to keep up their slim hopes of a Globe Cup spot.
Oh - and the midweek results blew Avidia's double hopes, losing to Kepayan in Tabeck. The other finalists? RCSC Northwood, who beat Mercia in the other semi at Oxley Park.
Results
Telecontarë 2-1 Ousevale Borough
Royal Emberton 0-1 Kepayan
Avidia United 5-0 Likas
Mercia Bromham 1-4 Sembulan
Foxchester Raiders 3-0 Iskara Daii

Corinthian Spirits 0-1 Casuals Osteria
Caledon Simpson 0-4 New Cefn Albion
Hallad Reavers 2-3 Stanton Town
Penningworth United 1-2 Putatan
MATCHDAY 33
Sembulan continue to self-destruct, which is good news for Emberton Reds, but bad news for Putatan and Likas, who'd be debating a completely undeserved UICA place if they stay in the top five.
Lower down, Stanton are scrabbling for points at the bottom; methinks, though, the 1-1 draw with Putatan was more a hindrance than a help.
Results
Ousevale Borough 2-2 Royal Emberton
Telecontarë 0-1 Avidia United
Kepayan 0-2 Mercia Bromham
Likas 0-2 Foxchester Raiders

New Cefn Albion 2-0 Penningworth United
Stanton Town 1-1 Putatan
MATCHDAY 34
It's Big Wins Week, as Avidia (Ousevale), Mercia (Royals), Foxchester (Telecontarë), Emberton Reds (Kepayan), Sembulan (Simpson), and the Daii (Hallad) all notch up big wins. At the bottom, Stanton draw again, but are still seven from safety, whilst Penningworth and Simpson did themselves few favours.

Stanton Town 1-1 New Cefn Albion
MATCHDAY 35
Likas defeat Hallad to open the trap-door...and Northwood throw Stanton inside. Penningworth United, meanwhile, draw with Sembulan and are hanging on in there.
At the top, Royals do the double in the Emberton derby, and Sembulan breathe a sigh of relief.

MATCHDAY 36
Two more for the chop, as Caledon lose to Royal Emberton, and Penningworth are edged out by Kepayan. Royals' win also assures them of a Champions' Cup spot - and in the group phase, no less - after Reds lose to Mercia.
Results

MATCHDAY 37
Avidia's win over Hallad puts their points tally in three figures, and leaves the Reavers needing to overcome a mathematical mountain to avoid the drop. Elsewhere, it's Sembulan or Foxchester for the last TQCC place...and the Globe Cup dispute is between Ousevale, Mercia, and New Cefn, or between Likas and Putatan, depending on where Sembulan finish.
Results
Ousevale Borough 1-4 Emberton Reds
Foxchester Raiders 4-2 Corinthian Spirits
Mercia Bromham 3-2 Caledon Simpson

MATCHDAY 38
First order of business: Foxchester beat Hallad. That's the Reavers down.
Next: Sembulan lost at Foundation Road, giving Raiders fifth spot and destroying Likas and Putatan's hopes of getting in the UICA competitions.
And finally: Ousevale, Mercia, and New Cefn all conspire to lose, handing the sixth and final Globe Cup spot to the somewhat bemused Tigers.
