CAFUNDELENSE LEAGUE - FIRST HALF OF THE SEASON ENDED

The first half of the season 17 of the Cafundelense league has ended. As everyone in the whole world must know now, this part of the Cafundelense season is the least important, being only useful to get the players fit (with the exception of the Prince Regent’s Cup [former Empress Cup and Emperor's Cup], which has some importance... but its winner won't go to the TQCC, but to the Globe Cup instead). The State-related competitions don't have practical importance. Other competitions are State Championships, and the only reason why the supporters want to win this is because they have to defeat their rivals to get the trophy. And that’s the only reason why they exist too. The State Championships and the State Champions Cup have tradition, while the Prince Regent’s Cup has practical importance. See the names of the state champions (yes, I'm lazy and won't update the introduction):

JUTA STATE: Atlético Jutense
LASFT STATE: Petardos S/A
CENTRAL STATE: Clube Comercial
TITÃ STATE: Metropolitano
DUNBOOR STATE: Dunboor FC
OLD CITIES STATE: Internacional de Penderia
ESPINAL STATE: Porto Lacruz
COAST STATE: Cruzeiro do Sul

Champion: CLUBE COMERCIAL!

Reactions: WHAT THIS UPSET MEANS? Clube Comercial, a team just promoted to the First Division, won its state championship against rivals like Serrano, Central United and Ranca Toco before moving to win the State Champions Cup, against the favourite squad of Petardos S/A, in an immense upset. So, does this mean that the team is able to do well in the league? Maybe better than expected, but probably not at top level. After all, state-related competitions don't receive much attention from the biggest clubs, with some even fielding reserve line-ups... but, even with these facts, Eddie Barnes's team made an incredible job in securing this title for his team, something that surely can give the players a lot of motivation for the National League.

THE PRINCE REGENT’S CUP

The Prince Regent’s Cup has the same format of the former Empress Cup (and the Emperor’s Cup), with the name being the only difference, after the brother of the former Empress (and son of the former Emperor), the Prince Miguel Van Tocco, became the new leader of the country as his sister had psychological problems, becoming the Prince Regent Miguel I, who’ll lead the country until the heir of the throne, son of the former Empress, reaches 18 years of age (he is currently 15). A bigger competition than the last ones, it involves 64 teams. Finally, the CCFM have decided to make serious rules about the participation in the cup: the 40 teams from 1st and 2nd divisions, the best 12 from the 3rd division, the top 8 from the 4th division and the top 4 (not necessarily promoted) from the 5th division in the last season participate. See the results (obs: no away goals rule). And now it is seeded for the first stage as, following the criteria, the 32 best teams play the first game away, being separated in the draw from the other teams. Note that its champion goes to the Globe Cup:

The Round of 64 usually has nothing worthwhile. After all, teams are seeded in this stage, and real big games are nearly impossible to happen. Nothing new in this edition. The only nice thing to mention in this stage would be major upsets, but they didn't happen. Minor ones happened, though, as Aldeia Vigiah's win over EC Elville.

Now we have major games in the competition. As you can notice, first division teams start to face each other, and at this point really big clashes appear, involving state rivalries. In this edition of the cup, there was an interesting game against mid-table rivals Central United and Internacional, and of former giants Clube Imperial and Dunboor FC. But none of them received so much media exposure as Atlético Jutense x Cafundó do Juta. Two of the current Elite Four clubs of Cafundéu. The two top clubs from Cafundó do Juta, and the Juta State. The biggest rivalry in Cafundéu. Yes, all of these phrases are true, and the biggest rivalry of the country appeared in the Prince Regent's Cup. After two tough games, Cafundó do Juta defeated their opponents, to continue in the cup. Upsets continued to happen at this stage, with Coríntios Jutense defeating Khalmar-Tijhus.

After the big clash between Cafundó do Juta and Atlético Jutense, people were already awaiting for another big game in the Oitavas, by looking at the seedings. And it happened: Petardos S/A faced Cafundó do Juta, in what surely is the biggest rivalry that is not related to States. They are rivals due to many title disputes between the two clubs throrough the years. Once again, the Silver Squadron advanced, in a good away win over the Billionaires, which surprised all the Cafundelenses. All the other games were far less interesting, if you look at the teams involved, than the PSA x CJU one, with Ranca Toco x SC Lasft coming the closest. On another news, this was the main round of upsets, with Palestra defeating Serrano!

After good games in the previous two rounds, the clashes in the quarterfinals were a bit disappointing. It was a nice touch to see one team of the third division and two from the second in such an advanced stage, but even the upsets didn't happen. Nothing really interesting to mention at this point.

Semifinals
1st Leg

(1st)          Clube Comercial     3x2     Dunboor FC               (1st)
(1st)          Cafundó do Juta     1x1     Ranca Toco               (1st)

2nd Leg

(1st)               Dunboor FC (5) 3x0 (3) Clube Comercial          (1st)
(1st)               Ranca Toco (2) 1x1 (2) Cafundó do Juta          (1st)
                    Penalties:     4x2

The lack of upsets helped the semifinals to include more popular games than the previous round. Dunboor FC against Clube Comercial seemed to be a bit of an anti-climax for a semifinal, as Clube Comercial isn't a big club. But Ranca Toco and Cafundó do Juta is ever a good game, a dispute between two great teams. And to see a clash like this one being solved on penalty kicks is even more exciting.

Final

DUNBOOR FC WINS THE PRINCE REGENT’S CUP!

Reactions: END OF CUP CURSE FOR SANCHEZ? Remember last season, when Petardos S/A defeated Javier Sanchez's Dunboor FC in the final, the third Final loss in the career of the Candelariasian coach? Well, this season was his redemption. After a very good campaign in the Prince Regent's cup, Dunboor FC won, and Sanchez too, defeating Ranca Toco in a final which ended being easier than expected. For the club, the title can mean a comeback to the "Elite Four", as both A.F.F. and Ranca Toco lost their places in it, one of them being immediately filled by Atlético Jutense. One place is still open in what the media calls Elite Four, and Dunboor FC is a contender. If the team has what it takes to return to be considered one of the top teams of Cafundéu, only its performance in the National League, the most important footballing competition of the season, can say.

Una Serie (still no fancy logo)

What’s that no mid-season review? Hands up who actually cares? Ok nobody. So here we are at the very end of the 5th season of Queer Poco el Mono Ara’s Una Serie.

The final week rolled around and the championship had already been decided as ultra rich Royal Khaldoon found themselves more than comfortably ahead at the tip of the table by ten points. It was however a close call right at the very bottom to determine who went down. Real Minanda and Valengren Kickers found themselves tied on points, only separated by goal difference.

Ridgemont Town 2-2 Real Minanda
Augustus 1-0 Valengren Kickers
Jonastown United 2-1 Skyte City
Salaga F.C 1-1 Pythons
Royal Khaldoon 2-1 Athletic Khaldoon
Villa Ortiz 1-1 Almondvale

Minanda’s solitary point was enough to save them from relegation away to Ridgemont. Pythons came second once again finishing four points clear of Khaldoon neighbours Augustus.

The biggest win of the season went to Pythons who battered Real Minanda 8-1 at home (a result which was also the largest home win of the season) and it was Pythons impressive attacking prowess which helped them notch up the biggest away win of the season, coming away 6-1 winners away to Almondvale.

This year’s top scorer was Pythons international forward Enrico Dossena who managed a record breaking 38 goals in all competitions. Dossena was followed by Sargossan team mate Sérgio Costa who scored 25.

Replacing Valengren Kickers in the Una Serie are 1860 Flumineiro who despite a final day defeat had accrued enough points for it not to matter, reaching the Una Serie ahead of nearest competitors Racing Cruzeira. Headed down to League II are Hunslet Wanderers who spent one year in League I. Port Los Renato bounce back from their double relegation regaining their League I status blitzing League II and finishing 10 points clear of Ajax Khaldoon II.

Al Alikhad became the third Coorsberg non-league champions.

Well in another exciting season that saw Air Force finally make it back to the final after 3 seasons since their last championship, but they would ultimately be denied by the suprising 4th overall ranked Mt Ceabring Mustangs who stunned their way to a spot in the next IUCC surpassing all expectations by miles. Fadron University would squak past the Barnstormers of Berlin Heights to steal their return to the IUCC. The Aeros, Mustangs, and Fitin' Fish will look to finally gain some respect in the fIUCC. As another provision to assure an interesting finals next year. Mt Ceabring has become the official number 25 if they fail to make the playoffs next year, and every championfrom the past year will be guranteed a spot in the playoffs if they fail to make it, making a 25 team playoff almost certain with how champions have faired in past seasons.

[cont. from here]

Matchday Fifteen… Only one story in town this weekend (apart from the Caires derby, and Revault’s first match with Portuguese, and all that sort of whatnot, but…) – Albrecht FC versus Green Island.

Actually, three points and – in all probability – the Apertura “title” aside, neither side had anything particularly special to play for. Their places in TQCC20 are assured, so ultimately there was but honour at stake. But with the Scorpions’ form fading fast, the sands were in danger of shifting and… and other clichés. I’m tired.

Cut to the chase – three minutes in, we had our first goal. Showing much the greater endeavour from the first whistle, the visitors powered forward. With Tekeste injured, the veteran Fred Foster started in something of a destroying role out on the right – a firm but by no means fair early tackle on Doobry Durosa bringing the game’s first promising move to a close. Reuben Hardy, performing well in Aldren’s continued absence, put in the free kick; William cleared as far as Ogus Kures; Kures passed to va Drake who stuffed the ball back in the mixer (not a typically Green Island move, it must be said, but no less effective for it), and Anwamanë – of course – provided the finish.

Barely one minute later, she scored her second.

The girl’s record of sixteen goals in fifteen games this campaign is, frankly, silly. She will take the Golden Boot for the third term in a row (a first for the CMSC, as it goes), and already has as many goals in the first half of the season (with two games remaining at that) as Golden Boot winner Careca managed in all XXX. Simply put, she is quite possibly the best player in international football history to have never played senior international football. Oh, and she’s pretty much immortal.

Here’s the crux of it. Green Island, and Daft Massimo, have a System. Their Vanorians will be around forever, and the current generation of Youngs and Aldrens will give way to… well, another generation of Youngs and Aldrens (Elune bless those long, cold nights out in the sticks and the resulting large families). Ethan Robertson is, at seventeen, already getting games; Finlay Whistler will soon follow by the looks of it. And until such times and someone can come along and put a bloody great spanner in the works, this football club are just going to keep winning. Maybe not the cups, but over thirty-eight games they’re simply unstoppable. No-one wants that. Even some Zapatans must be slightly bored of all this domination. They’ve lost just seventeen league games in the last three-and-a-half seasons.

We’ve long since passed Tedium here. Monotony was little more than a service station with a Little Chef and a Travelodge. Ennui held a passing fancy, Languor had Scandinavian-style toilet facilities, we didn’t even bother to stop at Pabulum. We’re parked in Bromidic-upon-Humdrum, twinned with Doldrums – and ladies and gents; we’re not just here for the dogging. For, though in one sense this was a fine football match – Albrecht pulling one back and putting pressure on Stockley’s goal until the GIZ’s inevitable killer third – we all know now that Torrealba’s Tots, or Blanco da Cruz’s… um… boys, can only do so much in the wake of the crushing, relentless, beautiful evil that is Green Island Zapata Football Club. What, really, is the point in the rest of us turning up anymore?

What, when it comes right down to it, is the point in anything?

Any road up, the battle for fourth is still lively enough. With Turkish looking like having a decent chance of making the TQCC final at the moment (go with it), the final round of games on MD17 may amount to little. A noticeably understrength side went down to Revault’s inspired Portuguese this weekend to stay in eighth – albeit only four points behind the three (count ‘em, three) clubs with twenty-six points. Radyukevich and the Marbles, alongside Port of Clotaire, are definitely in the hunt for a TQCC berth should Turkish slip up overseas in the next couple of week – though KT Hotspur, two points further back, can probably be discounted now. Giuseppe Abellardo’s side went down in Saurin this weekend, and without Revault one can’t see them clinging onto a top-half role. The real question is whether the Adamczyks will continue their tradition of promoting from within and hand former Samuelese international Abellardo the job. At his age, we suspect the answer’s no – with the press linking, somewhat implausibly, Fallon United’s hot young thing Ben Landry with the role instead.

Elsewhere, City won the derby at the Dome. A hail of rubber ducks, smuggled into the stadium in the collective smalls of thousands of away supporters, greeted Leo Williams’ opener – the forward starting his first game since his horrific early-season injury well ahead of time, and playing a major role throughout the sixty minutes he got. And, perhaps more importantly, Caires Sports Club are just possibly going down. And that’s shit, but so is life. I’m off for a sandwich.

So, by all accounts, plans are well afoot for a major shake-up in the cup’s format come next season – primarily to have to-flight clubs enter at somewhere around the fourth round rather than the fifth and assure rather more meetings between the country’s big guns and tiddlers. It’s frankly daft, and always has been, that the likes of Gentle Rangers and San Cristóbal – non-league clubs both – are ‘rewarded’ for getting to this stage with games at Riverton Olympic and Maidment who aren’t, with the best will in the world, a particularly thrilling draw. As it was, only Maidment themselves and Marquezian outfits Fasnia and Gómez, from the lower leagues, made it through to the last thirty-two – and that was thanks to easy ties against fellow semi-pro opposition.

As it was, though, we rather unusually managed a solid couple of upsets. You can see what they are by looking below. We’re helpful like that.

Matchday Sixteen… So. Erm. Well. There’s a thing. Following on from all that stuff what we said last weekend, Green Island went and got held to a goalless. In Peregrinus City.

Damn them Nethertopians! Those lusty, fat, two-legged cheese-worms; creatures so addicted to eating butter, drinking fat and sliding that all the multiverse knows them for slippery fellows! Making us look like morons, after all that stuff about monotony and tha–

Oh. Yes. Ta, in that case.

An exceptional clean sheet from the Sargossan Javier Meléndez gives us a last-day title race of sorts, with the Scorpions easing to victory in Bove. Good.

A far more interesting place to be however was a little way down the coast in the Albrecht borough of Hoxton. Four days from now, Albrecht Turkish would be in Metropolis, but not that one, to take on Poikimiandsuchforth for the TQCC title. First and foremost, the big ol’ pot was at stake – but entry into next year’s competition was no doubt a matter of near equal import as far as the money men (and other assorted life forms) were concerned. Sending MarquezOW to only their second league defeat of the season was a must, and even that might not have been enough.

It has, my darlings, become the classic conundrum – success on a globular scale, or domestically – achieving both, it would appear, is largely impossible. Go out on a limb, risk everything, for the possibility of ultimate glory – or aim for consistency. Green Island have done the latter – their quarter-final exit, at Turkish’s own hands, failing to come at the expense of their league form. Mannasuch, unlike his countryman, has gone for broke – and if his side come a cropper against Poiki the ramifications could be lengthy indeed.

For Turkish didn’t beat the naranja. And both Clotaire clubs won this weekend, and the Marbles managed a point at home to Mayo Valley, and all that means this: Victory in Valladares will see Turkish into the TQCC20 group stages. Defeat, and they’ll be watching even the Globe Cup on telly.

This would’ve been so much more dramatic without all that snow, eh?

Anyway, a Revault-less KT Hotspur fell at home to Tenderville, and an all Revaulted-up Portuguese took a late one-nil victory against Caires Sports to move up to fourteenth – and provide some genuine hope for their own Globe Cup campaign next term.

Matchday Seventeen…

The Story So Far: Albrecht FC, currently a collection of bright young things from across the multiverse and a couple of immortals, go off like a train – but an extended run in the Globe Cup, culminating in a victory on penalties in their own back yard (well, Rothsbere), saw them slip just slightly down the greasy pole. Defending champions Green Island, putting a poor start behind them, were soon able to take advantage – the Apertura ‘title’ will be between these two giants, with a point keeping them apart.

While the Scorpions were making waves once more in the multiverse’s secondary club football competition, their suburban rivals had bigger fish to fry. After ousting Green Island in the TQCC19 quarter-finals; Albrecht Turkish and the Sonoma Center Panthers played out surely one of the greatest ties in the history of modern club football. Five-all on aggregate following the two sets of ninety minutes, the Vyintanese-owned Candelarian side looked out of it following a well-taken brace from Panthers striker Ca five minutes into extra time – but the Capitalizt outfit would suddenly be introduced to Koviljko Randjelovic. All but asleep for most of the second leg, the Squornshelan-born Marquezian left-footer tore past Cwe, Craig and Gwon (yay for COM rosters, btw) from the half-way line to pull one back brilliantly – before, in the dying seconds of the thirty, delivering a perfect cross to the head of Nethertopian striker Daniel Bakker. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Sadly, come the final, they were cack. They’ll be dancing in the street o’ Poikimitagiin toni–

Really? Well, there’s a thing.

All these adventures overseas, however, left Turkish’s league form in disarray. Hopelessly off the pace when it came to the title race, their entry into TQCC20 appeared increasingly under threat – and, as it turned out, defeat in Valladares left them crashing out of next year’s UICA events all too early.

Among those taking advantage were the two Clotaire clubs. Too many early defeats left the PoC unlikely to keep in the hunt at the very top, but the exceptional form of Toirdhealbharch O’Airmeadhaigh in particular keep them competitive in the top half. They were joined, improbably enough, by Radyukevich – the Jukos’ young manager Wayne Davis pulling together a collection of journeymen, local youths and migrants from West Zirconia and Osarius into an extremely useful outfit. A Globe Cup berth is already assured – but the grand old lilacs could yet be on the verge of stepping up to the TQCC for the very first time.

The El din Marbles started superbly, and also remain in contention for the top four – but KT Hotspur have slipped away following the departure of Juan Carlos Revault to struggling Arrigo Portuguese. The Marquezian giants are looking to end a horrible Apertura outside a bottom three currently home to the less than awesome moneybags Ironside, an on-the-verge-of-disaster Caires Sports, and Turks’ Club. Who honestly are as crap as owt and have long since accepted their fate.

There. That wasn’t so painful, was it?

…

Minute 14 ~ Eh? Oh yeah, supposed to be doing this. Right, Sánchez García nods in a Will Hooper cross, and Port of Clotaire go a goal up in Tenderville. With a +10 – and make that +11 – goal difference over Radyukevich; the Harpies’ neighbours need a massive favour from the Dragons as well as a positive result themselves at home to Caires City. Completely unpredictable, Dionísio’s Errant Knights are plainly focusing their attentions on the CMS Cup this season, as they steadily continue to rebuild their aged squad into a… slightly less aged squad. Man-for-man, Radyukevich are inferior – but only they have something to play for in this one.

Minute 17 ~ And there’s your favour – a stunning strike from Drunn Deleks, looking none the worse for what those nasty Nethertopians did to his balls, sees Tenderville draw level. They too are probably looking at the CMS Cup as their best chance for some measure of glory, but nobody’s told Deleks that.

Minute 28 ~ Wstfl?

Minute 29 ~ Sorry, you’ll have to keep poking me. So, Albrecht are one up thanks to Matthew Logan, the right-back everyone assumed was on his way out during the break, heading home past Cobus van Linschoten from a George Morrison corner – yet another assist for the Sarzonian, who’s having a monster of a season. Turks’ Club are a goal to the good against Portuguese meanwhile, likewise through a header from a set piece, while MN Smith captain Marcel van der Laan has put the home side in front against NAPPC thanks to a… header from a… set piece…

Minute 34 ~ Took some time in coming, that did, but Green Island are back to the top of the table after Adeliz Giménez could keep them out no longer. Reuben Hardy’s extended run in the first team thanks to Jameson Aldren’s injury spell provides more dividends – and more power to Massimo’s elbow, you have to say, for getting so much out of an average talent such as he.

Minute 36 ~ Thomas Schaak bobbles one in from close range from a Kayben Nixon corner (doesn’t anyone score from open play anymore?) to put the Marbles a goal up on Turkish. A Tenderville victory is still required if they’re to make the top four, though.

Minute 38 ~ Aaand a goal for Espy va Drake, and that’s another half-season title for Green Island wrapped up.

Minute 42 ~ Arright, they do score from open play… providing it’s from as far outside the box as possible, by the looks of it. Superb strike from O’Airmeadhaigh put the PoC back in front on Ratos.

Minute 45+1 ~ Isaac Walker, starting in place of the suspended Iñaki Arrigorriagakoa, gives the Harpies even more breathing space with a coolly taken finish from a Hooper through-ball. A top four ‘finish’ looks guaranteed, so, um… can we nip out now while it’s half-time no-one’s looking?

Oh good.

FFB Premier League Season 24

Four Towers win back-to-back Premier League crowns by a commanding margin, again with Bloomfield National as runners-up. Keeper Nathan Taylor also earned back-to-back MVP honours, with a goals-against standard of less than one goal per game for two years running. Yet the biggest story of the year may be the collapse of storied Parisian, third last season and charter members of the Premier League, who will be relegated for the first time in club history after a disastrous campaign.

Islands Cup XIII

Dover City reclaim the Islands Cup in a rather anticlimactic final against Baden 98, after defeating Premier League champions Four Towers in a highly-anticipated semifinal.

CAFUNDELENSE LEAGUE - HALFWAY OF THE LEAGUE

19 games played - a view on the Primeirona and Segundona

So, we have nineteen games played in the Cafundelense Primeirona... before the beginning of the competition, the Billionaires of Petardos S/A were the absolute favourites, with other members of the current Elite Four (group of the four best Cafundelense clubs, chosen yearly by the press, which current members are Petardos S/A, Cafundó do Juta, Atlético Jutense and Porto Lacruz) being the major threat. Dunboor FC's victory in the Prince Regent's Cup put Javier Sanchez's squad as a possible contender, but the other teams would probably be out of the fight. But, as the competition progressed, some suprises appeared... yes, we know that there is still one more half to be played, but to hold good positions at this point isn't a small thing.

At halfway of the competition, we can notice a surprise on top: the comeback of Ranca Toco. Yes, it is true that the Sarrafeiros have a successful history in the league, with two titles and even an international TQCC conquest, but in the last seasons they have been facing difficulties, and it wasn't believed they would be able to be a major force in the First Division this time, maybe only fighting for a place on international competitions. Well, it seems everyone was wrong. Returning to its origins, with defensive football and a lot of violence, Ranca Toco finished the first half of the league with two points of advantage over the second placed. Check the tables below, they'll give you a better understanding of the situation:

  19  Metropolitano             19   4   4  11   23   46  -23   16
  20  São Jorge                 19   3   6  10   30   41  -11   15

The appearance of Cafundó do Juta in the second position isn't any surprise as, after all, most times they are in second, it is usual. But the interesting point is their lead over the third and fourth teams: two favourites for the title, Petardos S/A and Atlético Jutense, which had some bad results in the first matchdays and couldn't recover in time to be closer to the lead at the halfway point. Six points behind Ranca Toco, these two still have great chances of winning the first phase, and these four now present themselves as the favourites for the phase title. Behind them, the battle will probably be more focused towards the international competitions and a spot in the second phase.

In this group, we have A.F.F. appearing with more chances, but nineteen games is still an early stage for them to feel comfortable in the top eight. Behind them, there is a huge battle in the intermediate positions, which show how much disputed the division is being, as these teams had approximately fifty percent or a bit less of points conquered. This situation goes until the last positions, in which a few teams are flirting with the relegation zone. Curiously, there aren't so many clubs fighting to avoid the four bottom spots as Internacional, for example, which is in 14th, is already 5 points away from the zone, which is a nice amount for its position.

Right now, five teams are in really relegation danger. But, of course, others can enter the battle, or even one of these five can start a sequence of victories to relieve itself far before the last matchdays. But the majority of the fans are betting that only one of those five will escape relegation. And, among these five, it is a surprise to see São Jorge as last. The team had some solid campaigns in the previous seasons. They have good players, and should be able to do a better job. If São Jorge will escape relegation, or Ranca Toco will be able to win the first phase in a surprise manner, we will only know after more nineteen games.

We must not forget to talk about the players and coaches too. The good performance of Ranca Toco, combined with the team's second place in the Prince Regent's Cup resulted in many praises to Anormal, who isn't a coach with a good career, but may be on his path to glory now. Meanwhile, the bad results of Dunboor FC lead to some criticism towards the players and the coach Sanchez, who may be relaxing too much after a cup trophy. Central United and América are other two teams that are underperforming according to their supporters, and their coaches can be in serious risk if the situation continues as it is.

And the players? Ranca Toco's Zack Wilson is playing well, and currently leads the predictions of who will be named the player of the season. But he has heavy opposition, as goalkeeper Fernández Montes of Cafundó do Juta, or even his team mate Tonhão, a defender. Petardos S/A, as always, has many candidates, as the attackers Ikles Razov and Adams, or the midfielder Ickx, one of the most surprising players of the season. Jean Carlo and Rubiano, of Atlético Jutense, help the Cafundelenses to fight for the trophy of best player of the league. And even on the worse positioned teams we have some possible candidates, players who are doing a good job, although their teams aren't helping them very much.

Now to the second division. Don't worry, we are just making halfway reports of the First and Second divisions, as the other three aren't really interesting for the fans. In the Segundona, the most important battle isn't for the title, but for promotion instead. A place in the top three, then, is the pursuited dream for the clubs involved in the competition, followed by the top eight places, as the best positioned team in the second phase, one which wasn't already promoted, gets the last place in the Primeirona in the following season. And the current situation seems pretty secure for Eldorado, which is eleven points safe in the promotion zone, with a nearly-perfect campaign, which transforms them in the favourites for the title... look:

  20  CR Submiria               19   4   4  11   18   31  -13   16

All the other teams on the top positions apart from Eldorado are involved in a huge battle, especially over the other two top three positions. Bandeirantes and Santa Cruz currently hold these positions, but they are far from safe there. Galáxia has a very promising team, and is seen as capable of taking a position among the top. Elville and Tabajara are surprising, but they are far from being unexperienced sides too, so a promotion of one of them wouldn't be really something impressive. Behind them, other favourites for promotion are still on the top eight, as Peres and Rio Bonito. The negative point is Khalmar-Tijhus, the absolute favourite being only the tenth.

The battle against relegation is also intense in the Segundona, with many teams involved. Of course none of them are really safe, but at this point it was expected that more teams would have a good distance over the relegation zone, which doesn't happen. The seventh placed, for example, is only nine points away. At the same time, none of the teams is in a really dangerous situation, and even the last placed at this point can escape relegation with a few good games. Surely this seems to be a promising league both at the top and bottom positions, with the teams still having good and bad chances. So, for both divisions, let's wait to see how the competition will end, as there is not only the second half of the league, but also the second phase!

Young Gun: Gary Anderson
Last Season: 6th
Prediction: 6th

Young Gun: Howard Goodley
Last Season: 1st
Prediction: 2nd

Key Man: Geraint Williams
Young Gun: Chris Morgan
Last Season: 1st (O-League Two)

NORTON

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART ONE

A new season dawns. Mercia want a third. Emberton want to be higher than third. Ousevale are the third in this Holy Crap! Trinity chasing the title. But first, this.

Cygnus Super Cup
A brand new competition to kick off the season, pitting the O-League Champions against the KFA Cup winners. Mercia Bromham met Beckton Supermarine at the Isserson Stadium; the match was a damp squib, with no goals in 90 minutes leading directly to a shoot-out. Graham Monteiro hit the post with his penalty to hand the Super Cup to the league champions.

MERCIA BROMHAM 0-0 BECKTON SUPERMARINE (5-4 on pens)

KFA Cup Round One
An expanded tournament to take in the new teams of O-League Five and Six, the KFA Cup is now the first match of the season for the teams outside the top two divisions. It also saw the entrance point of former O-League Premier teams Aigburth and Monthuez, both relegated to Three last season. Aigburth made light work of O-League Six opponents Chesamer, and CFF beat Tuvera City of O-League Four; they will be balls number 56 and 64 respectively against the big guns in round Two. Last seasons surprise semi-finalists Wick Town produced the biggest win of the round, thrashing Buyon by six goals to one. They'll be number 36 in the second round draw.

Shock of the round went to O-League Six outfit Byrrim. They defeated Adanac City, three divisions above them, at the Municipal Stadium. Look out for them as ball 39.

Results:
Adanac City 2-2 Byrrim (2-2 FT, 2-2 AET, Byrrim win 3-2 on pens)
Aigburth Athletic 3-0 Chesamer
Beldon Wanderers 0-3 St Peter's
Buchinia Academicals 0-1 Milditch (AET, FT 0-0)
Buyon 1-6 Wick Town
Charnham Town 1-2 Southgate Athletic (AET, FT 1-1)

Westleigh Rovers 0-1 Dynamo Gravea
Whitehill Rovers 2-1 Kallia United
Wylon United 3-1 Yardley Forest
Zoderby United 0-2 Maidenstone

Matchday One
The new season takes less than a hundred seconds to produce its first goal, with Robert Kapromanowitz scoring against Ousevale; the Tigers equalise through new boy Michael Willem though to take a point from the tie. Mercia Bromham begin their title defence with a solid victory over CF Avides, and there's two-nil wins for fellow title aspirators Emberton Reds and Casuals.

Orange Street witnessed its first ever top flight game, just four seasons after being home to O-League Four football. Beckton even went on to win the match one-nil against fellow promoted side, New Cefn Albion. Norton, the other team coming up last season, has less luck, losing to Ellisham by the odd goal in five.

Results:
Avidia United 1-1 Ousevale Borough
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 New Cefn Albion
Bradwell Saints 1-1 Stratford Rovers
Casuals Osteria 2-0 Krytenia Emberton
Ellisham 3-2 Norton
Emberton Reds 2-0 Caversham
Mercia Bromham 2-0 CF Avides
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Stanton Town

Matchday Two
Krytenia Emberton won the Capital Derby against the Reds...but that's not the big headline.
Avidia United put five past Bradwell Saints...but that's not the big headline either.
Nor is Mercia's thrilling three-two win at the Harbour Stadium.

No, the big headline is the stunning performance by the Tigers against Avides. Not content with the two Mercia managed against them last week, Ousevale put an astonishing TEN past the rotten Pomodoros. Mercia are two points clear at the top though, as the only side to win both of their opening two games.

Results:
Avidia United 5-1 Bradwell Saints
Caversham 3-1 Ellisham
Krytenia Emberton 1-0 Emberton Reds
New Cefn Albion 0-0 Casuals Osteria
Norton 2-2 Notegia Rangers
Ousevale Borough 10-0 CF Avides
Stanton Town 2-3 Mercia Bromham
Stratford Rovers 1-0 Beckton Supermarine

KFA Cup Round Two Draw
The big guns enter here, and the seeding system has been removed for this season, meaning they could knock each other out early, something not possible in previous seasons. Anyway, onto the draw itself...

...which produces just two all-Premier ties, one between holders Beckton and Bradwell Saints, and one between Caversham and Notegia Rangers. Ho hum. The cash registers sound for Hefor, as the O-League Five side draw Mercia Bromham; Quinton City of Four, meanwhile, face a long and probably embarrassing trip to the Southern Arena.

Full Draw:
Aylesford v Emberton Reds
Caversham v Notegia Rangers
Ousevale Borough v Quinton City
Hastings County v Bromham City
Casuals Osteria v Linford United
Hefor v Mercia Bromham
Thackworth Rovers v Dereapolis City
Bulham City v Norton
Ellisham v East Green Phoenix

Locomotive Wolverton v Krytenia Emberton
Stanton Town v Blakeland

Walton Park v Camberley Town
Oxley v Wick Town
Penniton United v Aigburth Athletic
Valque United v Avidia City
Ilham & Welford v Oustia
CF Avides v NSE Kovenham
Neathill v Porthscadoch
Wylon United v Oldbrook
Maidenstone v Teddington
Caledon Simpson v Sandwell Rangers
Dynamo Gravea v Salton
Noton United v Stratford Rovers
Bradwell Saints v Beckton Supermarine
CFF Monthuez v Milditch
Challenger v Fleetham
Secklow v Leston Town
Avidia United v Walton City

Matchday Three
OK, Ousevale are officially upgraded to “scary”. They didn't quite manage the ten-goal drubbing of the previous week, but weren't far off. Bradwell were the hapless victims of a seven-nil reverse, and Ousevale have scored eighteen in three games. And they're still not top, thanks to Mercia's win over Norton.

At the bottom, CF Avides still have no points (although Calvin Howard netted their first goal of the season) and New Cefn still have no goals, but are still above Avides and Bradwell in fourteenth despite a three-nil defeat to the Reds.

Results:
Beckton Supermarine 3-0 Avidia United
Bradwell Saints 0-7 Ousevale Borough
Casuals Osteria 1-0 Stratford Rovers
CF Avides 1-2 Stanton Town
Ellisham 0-2 Krytenia Emberton
Emberton Reds 3-0 New Cefn Albion
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Norton
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Caversham

Matchday Four
It's four out of four for Mercia, as they twice came from behind to defeat a spirited Caversham side, Chris Forster the unexpected hero with his winner five minutes from time. Ousevale and Casuals kept up the early chase at the top with wins over Stanton Town and Avidia United respectively.

At the other end, Avides beat Norton to lift themselves out of the bottom three with their first points of the season; the result sends Norton bottom. Bradwell stay in the drop zone after tying with Beckton, who are an impressive fifth. Still no goals for Albion, but a nil-nil with Ellisham gives them their first point. They remain fourteenth.

Results:
Avidia United 1-4 Casuals Osteria
Bradwell Saints 0-0 Beckton Supermarine
Caversham 2-3 Mercia Bromham
Krytenia Emberton 3-0 Notegia Rangers
New Cefn Albion 0-0 Ellisham
Norton 1-2 CF Avides
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Stanton Town
Stratford Rovers 2-0 Emberton Reds

Matchday Five
It's all about the top two, as Ousevale beat Beckton Supermarine four-two and Mercia beat Krytenia Emberton to stay top. Osteria's surprised defeat to Bradwell is Saints' first win of the season and lifts them out of the drop zone; Stratford sneak into the top five after a stalemate against Ellisham.

Still no goals for New Cefn, but a third goalless draw with Notegia Rangers puts them on three points; they slip to second-bottom though after Bradwell's victory. The result also means Notegia enter the bottom three as we break for round two of the Cup, having scored fewer goals than Caversham.

Results:
Beckton Supermarine 2-4 Ousevale Borough
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Bradwell Saints
CF Avides 2-0 Caversham
Ellisham 0-0 Stratford Rovers
Emberton Reds 1-1 Avidia United
Mercia Bromham 2-1 Krytenia Emberton
Notegia Rangers 0-0 New Cefn Albion
Stanton Town 0-0 Norton

Top Five At-A-Glance:
Mercia Bromham - 5-0-0 - 15pts
Ousevale Borough - 4-1-0 - 13
Casuals Osteria - 3-1-1 - 10
Krytenia Emberton - 3-0-2 - 9
Stratford Rovers - 2-2-1 - 8

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART TWO

KFA Cup Round Two
The big story of the second round was, undoubtedly, the “Shock of the Century”. Bromham-based O-League Six side East Green Phoenix went to Wanderers Park to make a good time of their game against top-flight opposition. What they didn't expect was for former plumber John Saunders to score the only goal of the game...for Phoenix. Ellisham won't forget this season's cup in a hurry.

They weren't the only ones. New Cefn lost in extra time to Westleigh Wanderers of O-League Three, and Stratford also went out in extra time to Noton United. Mercia surprisingly needed an extra thirty to defeat Hefor, though a mainly second string squad, without the likes of Nélio, Teixeira, and Welton, was probably to blame.

Ousevale showed the Cup some respect, resting only Michael Willem from the side that won last week; Sam Keane made the most of a rare start with a brace against Quinton City, as the Tigers won by eight to none.

Tie of the round was the first game of Beckton Supermarine's title defence; three-three after normal time, it was the Mariners who got the decider in the second half of extra time.

Numbers to watch in the draw then – Emberton Reds are lucky number 1, Ousevale Borough are 3, Casuals are 5 and Mercia 6, the giant-killing Phoenix are ball 9, and holders Beckton are number 28. Avidia United are “top of the house” at 32.

Results:
Aylesford 0-3 Emberton Reds
Caversham 0-4 Notegia Rangers
Ousevale Borough 8-0 Quinton City
Hastings County 2-3 Bromham City (AET, FT 2-2)
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Linford United
Hefor 1-3 Mercia Bromham (AET, FT 1-1)
Thackworth Rovers 2-3 Dereapolis City
Bulham City 0-5 Norton
Ellisham 0-1 East Green Phoenix
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Westleigh Wanderers (AET, FT 1-1)
Byrrim 1-6 Foxchester Rovers
Locomotive Wolverton 2-4 Krytenia Emberton
Stanton Town 2-0 Blakeland
Southgate Athletic 0-2 Ousevale Juniors
St Peter's 1-0 Whitehill Rovers
Walton Park 0-3 Camberley Town
Oxley 3-2 Wick Town (AET, FT 2-2)
Penniton United 2-0 Aigburth Athletic
Valque United 0-3 Avidia City
Ilham & Welford 1-3 Oustia
CF Avides 1-1 NSE Kovenham (1-1 FT, 1-1 AET, Avides win 3-1 on pens)
Neathill 2-0 Porthscadoch
Wylon United 2-3 Oldbrook
Maidenstone 3-2 Teddington (AET, FT 2-2)
Caledon Simpson 3-1 Sandwell Rangers
Dynamo Gravea 1-2 Salton
Noton United 1-0 Stratford Rovers (AET, FT 0-0)
Bradwell Saints 3-4 Beckton Supermarine (AET, FT 3-3)
CFF Monthuez 3-2 Milditch
Challenger 0-3 Fleetham
Secklow 3-2 Leston Town
Avidia United 1-0 Walton City

Matchday Six
Albion finally score! John 't Serclais is the man to do it - not that it does them any good, as they ship six to Mercia Bromham. Ousevale are also in the goals, beating Norton five-nil, and Casuals beat Beckton to keep their third place secure.

The bottom three stay as they were – but possibly not for long, as Avidia United's run of one point in four matches sees them dip to twelfth. Oh, how good that opening day draw with Ousevale looks now!

Results:
Avidia United 0-2 Ellisham
Beckton Supermarine 1-3 Casuals Osteria
Bradwell Saints 0-1 Emberton Reds
Caversham 0-0 Stanton Town
Krytenia Emberton 0-0 CF Avides
New Cefn Albion 1-6 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 5-0 Norton
Stratford Rovers 1-0 Notegia Rangers

Matchday Seven
And we now upgrade Ousevale from “scary” to “downright terrifying”. Winning six-two away? Damn. Winning six-two away to Casuals?!? That's ... wow. Just ... wow. And they're still not top. That's thanks to Welton, who scored the only goal of the game to get Mercia seven wins from seven; Stratford, at least, put up a good fight. Oh, and Krytenia Emberton beat Stanton Town to gatecrash the top four.

Elsewhere...wait, is that Stanton in twelfth? The hell? Oh my, but it's true. No wins – and no goals – in four matches means they're just a point above the drop zone. Meanwhile, New Cefn Albion score three in a game and record their first ever win in the top flight. Their victims? Now is not a good time to be an Avides fan, let's put it that way. Caversham prop up the table after losing to previous bottom side Norton.

Results:
Casuals Osteria 2-6 Ousevale Borough
CF Avides 0-3 New Cefn Albion
Ellisham 0-3 Bradwell Saints
Emberton Reds 2-0 Beckton Supermarine
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Stratford Rovers
Norton 3-0 Caversham
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Avidia United
Stanton Town 0-2 Krytenia Emberton

KFA Cup Round Three Draw
Thirty-two sides remain. Eleven from the top flight, and, surprisingly, three from the bottom (though Fleetham cheated a bit by beating another O-League Six team, Challenger, in Round Two). So, who gets who?

Well, as soon as the first ball (9) is drawn, there are gasps – that's the Stones' slayers, East Green Phoenix, and then they draw...number six. Mercia Bromham at home. Not only another Premier side – but a local derby to boot. With Bromham City drawn away, the match is expected to be moved to City's home ground, the Mercia Stadium.

And then Casuals drew Ousevale Borough. Someone get me a chair, I need to sit down.

Full Draw:
East Green Phoenix v Mercia Bromham
Dereapolis City v Beckton Supermarine
Oustia v Oxley
Oldbrook v Ousevale Juniors
Neathill v Bromham City
Maidenstone v St Peter's
Stanton Town v CFF Monthuez
Notegia Rangers v CF Avides
Salton v Noton United
Penniton United v Avidia United
Emberton Reds v Avidia City
Camberley Town v Secklow
Westleigh Wanderers v Norton
Casuals Osteria v Ousevale Borough
Fleetham v Caledon Simpson
Krytenia Emberton v Foxchester Rovers

Matchday Eight
And the mistake is made. Mercia drop their first points of the season – ironically in the same way Ousevale dropped their only points so far, in a draw with Avidia United – and the Tigers' goal difference of the gods puts them top at last.

The race behind seems to be for a distant third. It's a cigarette paper between the two Emberton clubs at the moment, with Krytenia Emberton beating Norton, and Reds defeating Casuals in a big six-pointer. Speaking of six-pointers, Stanton scored a much-needed win against New Cefn Albion to lift themselves up to tenth.

Results:
Avidia United 1-1 Mercia Bromham
Beckton Supermarine 2-0 Ellisham
Bradwell Saints 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Casuals Osteria 0-2 Emberton Reds
Krytenia Emberton 3-1 Norton
New Cefn Albion 0-3 Stanton Town
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Caversham
Stratford Rovers 0-1 CF Avides

Matchday Nine
Bradwell are on cloud nine on Matchday Nine. They somehow, don't ask how, beat Mercia Bromham and go up to sixth; it also gives Ousevale a handy three-point cushion at the top as they beat Emberton Reds three-nil, bringing the Tigers' goal count to forty. Crikey.

Casuals beat Ellisham to get themselves back in the race for third, just behind Krytenia Emberton who drew with the Dragons. Norton's defeat to New Cefn means they're on the bottom; meanwhile the Avidia Derby goes almost unnoticed, though the win for Avides leaves them eighth and United hanging precariously above the drop zone in thirteenth.

Results:
Caversham 0-0 Krytenia Emberton
CF Avides 1-0 Avidia United
Ellisham 0-3 Casuals Osteria
Emberton Reds 0-3 Ousevale Borough
Mercia Bromham 0-2 Bradwell Saints
Norton 1-2 New Cefn Albion
Notegia Rangers 1-2 Beckton Supermarine
Stanton Town 1-1 Stratford Rovers

Matchday Ten
Things just got interesting again. Ousevale's draw with Krytenia Emberton not only allows Mercia to close the gap to one point (which they do, thanks to victory over Beckton), but it also allows both Casuals and Emberton Reds to catch up to and overtake the Pats (which they also do, with wins over Notegia and Ellisham respectively). Both Bradwell and Avides miss the chance to close the gap to the top five as they draw with each other, leaving Saints sixth and Los Pomodoros seventh.

Speaking of Avidian clubs, United drop into the bottom three after losing to a resurgent Stanton (who climb to eighth); they take the place of Caversham, who beat New Cefn Albion by a goal to nil.

Results:
Avidia United 0-2 Stanton Town
Beckton Supermarine 0-2 Mercia Bromham
Bradwell Saints 0-0 CF Avides
Casuals Osteria 2-0 Notegia Rangers
Emberton Reds 2-0 Ellisham
New Cefn Albion 0-1 Caversham
Ousevale Borough 1-1 Krytenia Emberton
Stratford Rovers 0-0 Norton

Top Five At-A-Glance:
Ousevale Borough – 8-2-0 – 26pts
Mercia Bromham – 8-1-1 – 25
Casuals Osteria – 6-1-3 – 19 (GD +6, GS 17)
Emberton Reds – 6-1-3 – 19 (GD +6, GS 13)
Krytenia Emberton – 5-3-2 – 18

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART THREE

KFA Cup Round Three
Normal service is resumed as only two games go against the divisional divide. Avidia United's season gets that much worse; last season's defeated finalists are eliminated by O-League Two side Penniton United, whilst Oldbrook of Three beat Ousevale's other club, Ousevale Juniors of O-League Two.

Ousevale Borough, meanwhile, breeze past Casuals, and East Green are halted, but not humbled, by Mercia Bromham, holding them at one-nil in the first half before going down three-nil.

With Oxley, Salton, and Fleetham all going out, Maidenstone of O-League Four are the lowest-placed club in the competition; they beat divisional stablemates St Peter's to advance to the last sixteen.

Numbers to watch: Mercia Bromham are 1, holders Beckton are 2, Maidenstone are 6, Penniton United are 10, and Ousevale are number 14. Top of the shop are Krytenia Emberton, ball 16.

Results:
East Green Phoenix 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Dereapolis City 1-2 Beckton Supermarine
Oustia 3-2 Oxley
Oldbrook 1-0 Ousevale Juniors
Neathill 1-0 Bromham City
Maidenstone 2-0 St Peter's

Westleigh Wanderers 0-4 Norton
Casuals Osteria 1-3 Ousevale Borough
Fleetham 1-3 Caledon Simpson
Krytenia Emberton 2-0 Foxchester Rovers

Matchday Eleven
Crisis? What crisis? Eagles fans breathe a sigh of relief as Robert Kapromanowitz' goal gets them a vital win against Norton – their first in nine games. Their place in the bottom three is taken by Ellisham...more on that later.

At the top, Casuals do a great job of screwing up Mercia's title hopes with a two-nil victory; despite the win, they still manage to drop a place, to fourth, as Emberton Reds won by three and thus now have a better goal difference. Ousevale stretch their lead at the top to four points after beating Ellisham four-one; Willem's opener is his fifteenth of the season (already!), whilst teenage sensation Ricky Sexton continues his run in the side and nets his fourth of the season.

Results:
Caversham 0-0 Stratford Rovers
CF Avides 0-0 Beckton Supermarine
Ellisham 1-4 Ousevale Borough
Krytenia Emberton 3-0 New Cefn Albion
Mercia Bromham 0-2 Casuals Osteria
Norton 0-1 Avidia United
Notegia Rangers 0-3 Emberton Reds
Stanton Town 0-0 Bradwell Saints

Matchday Twelve
All change, please, all change. Mercia Bromham have blown it. Seven wins in a row has been followed by three defeats in five; Emberton Reds taking advantage with a win that takes them above the Midlanders, destroying their unbeaten away record in the process. In fact, Mercia drop to fourth, with Casuals riding the goal-difference merry-go-round into second (on goals scored) after a three-one victory over Avides.

Meanwhile, Ousevale are able to open up a seven-point lead at the top, even if their win over New Cefn was more graft than glory. Hell, it wasn't even a striker that scored (thank you, Song Ahn-Ji).

More misery for Notegia Rangers though; defeat at Ellisham means they're still without a win this season, and they're in danger of pulling a Dereapolis. No such problems for Avidia United; Caversham are hit for seven as the Eagles set about putting their season back on track. They're still eleventh though.

Results:
Avidia United 7-0 Caversham
Beckton Supermarine 2-0 Stanton Town
Bradwell Saints 3-0 Norton
Casuals Osteria 3-1 CF Avides
Ellisham 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Emberton Reds 1-0 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 1-0 New Cefn Albion
Stratford Rovers 1-1 Krytenia Emberton

KFA Cup Round Four Draw
So, no Casuals, no Avidia United, and thanks to Notegia of all teams, no Avides. In fact, no Avidia teams at all after Emberton Reds' six-one win over Avidia City. Still eight Premier teams, though; good chance of some meaty ties, right?

Wrong. Only one all-Premier tie is produced...the might of Norton v Beckton, anyone? Ousevale travel to former Premier side Caledon Simpson, Emberton Reds get Penniton, and their cross-town rivals are at home to Secklow. Mercia, meanwhile, face Neathill.

Odd tie of the round? Three versus Four as Oustia are drawn against Maidenstone. Still, a place in the quarters is on offer for the winner.

Full Draw:
Noton United v Stanton Town
Caledon Simpson v Ousevale Borough
Penniton United v Emberton Reds
Oldbrook v Notegia Rangers
Norton v Beckton Supermarine
Oustia v Maidenstone
Krytenia Emberton v Secklow
Mercia Bromham v Neathill

Matchday Thirteen
It's the footballing equivalent of watching them shoot Old Yeller, except far slower and messier. Mercia Bromham fail to score again – that's four times in five games – and are now nine points off the leaders. Casuals did their trick of winning and dropping a position for the second time in three games, as their three-nil win was less than the Reds' four-nil. That'll be Emberton second then.

Also traumatic to watch are Caversham in general. After losing seven-nil last week, they go one better and lose eight-nil to Bradwell Saints. This, combined with Ellisham's win over (who else!) Notegia Rangers, puts the Dragons in the bottom three. Avidia United, meanwhile, make it three wins on the trot, and are up into the top half of the table.

Results:
Caversham 0-8 Bradwell Saints
CF Avides 0-4 Emberton Reds
Krytenia Emberton 0-1 Avidia United
Mercia Bromham 0-0 Ellisham
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Stratford Rovers
Norton 1-2 Beckton Supermarine
Notegia Rangers 0-3 Ousevale Borough
Stanton Town 0-3 Casuals Osteria

Matchday Fourteen
Looks like Mercia are getting back into form at the right time. OK, so it was only Notegia, but five-one is five-one, especially with Ousevale next. The top three all win, and Emberton and Casuals win by the same margin, so the top three is as you were. Krytenia Emberton, meanwhile, stay in that second Globe Cup spot after beating high-flying Bradwell.

No change at the bottom as Notegia, Norton, and Caversham all lost; though at least the Dragons only went down one-nil this week.

Results:
Avidia United 2-2 New Cefn Albion
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 Caversham
Bradwell Saints 1-3 Krytenia Emberton
Casuals Osteria 3-1 Norton
Ellisham 0-0 CF Avides
Emberton Reds 2-0 Stanton Town
Notegia Rangers 1-5 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 2-1 Stratford Rovers

Matchday Fifteen
And so to the halfway point of the season, and all eyes on one place: The Midland Stadium, Bromham. Mercia versus Ousevale was the match; and Mercia did what no team had done this season, namely keep a clean sheet against the Tigers. Not only that, but Paul Teixeira popped up with a winning goal. Game on.

Indeed, in all the hype, you'd have been forgiven for forgetting there were seven other matches being played. Casuals and Emberton Reds both won again, and both switched places on goal difference again; in case you've lost track, it's now Casuals in second. They're now four points behind Ousevale; Mercia, still fourth despite their victory, are two points further back.

In the basement, meanwhile, still no win for Notegia, though draw number six puts them level on points with Norton on the bottom, eight points from safety. Caversham's loss to Casuals leaves them fourteenth, four points behind the team “on the bubble”, Ellisham, who drew with Stanton...wait, are Stanton twelfth again? Oh boy...thank the gods for the winter break, eh?

Results:
Caversham 0-3 Casuals Osteria
CF Avides 1-1 Notegia Rangers
Krytenia Emberton 3-1 Beckton Supermarine
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Ousevale Borough
New Cefn Albion 2-1 Bradwell Saints
Norton 0-1 Emberton Reds
Stanton Town 0-0 Ellisham
Stratford Rovers 1-0 Avidia United

Top Five At-A-Glance:

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART FOUR

KFA Cup Round Four
So much for Krytenia Emberton's trophy chances. They were the only Premier side to lose to lower division opposition, with O-League Two leaders Secklow taking them down by the odd goal in three. Elsewhere, it was relatively plain sailing for the Premier clubs, though Emberton Reds and Mercia Bromham both needed extra time to get through.

In the only all-Premier tie, Beckton got through safely against Norton, two-nil; in the only non-Premier tie, Oustia are now the only team left from Round One, defeating Maidenstone by three to none.

Results:
Noton United 1-2 Stanton Town
Caledon Simpson 0-2 Ousevale Borough
Penniton United 1-2 Emberton Reds (AET, FT 1-1)
Oldbrook 0-5 Notegia Rangers
Norton 0-2 Beckton Supermarine
Oustia 3-0 Maidenstone
Krytenia Emberton 1-2 Secklow
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Neathill (AET, FT 0-0)

Matchday Sixteen
And so, the league thaws out after the winter break...and whatever Norton have been having in the last three weeks, I want some. A four-nil victory over Ellisham is a welcome tonic, and ends a run of five straight league defeats quite nicely. They're still fifteenth though. And below them? Notegia win at last! And what's more, it's an extra dose of misery for poor Stanton, who've now not won in six.

At the end of the table that matters, meanwhile, Ousevale atone for their Matchday One hiccough by putting Avidia United to the sword, whilst Krytenia Emberton's victory over Casuals drops the Miners to fourth, whilst improving Pats' own Champions' Cup aspirations.

Results:
Caversham 1-2 Emberton Reds
CF Avides 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Krytenia Emberton 3-1 Casuals Osteria
New Cefn Albion 0-3 Beckton Supermarine
Norton 4-0 Ellisham
Ousevale Borough 3-0 Avidia United
Stanton Town 0-1 Notegia Rangers
Stratford Rovers 3-0 Bradwell Saints

Matchday Seventeen
Eight games, eight goals, and four bore draws. Not a good week for the purists, this. Ousevale draw a blank for only the second time this season – and against the side they scored ten against four months ago at that! However, with Emberton Reds stalemating the Capital Derby, and Mercia also getting only a goalless draw, the Tigers can afford it.

Norton, meanwhile, are one of the few winners on the day, and though there's no advance in places, they've gone from eight points adrift to just two from safety in a fortnight.

Results:
Beckton Supermarine 1-2 Stratford Rovers
Bradwell Saints 0-0 Avidia United
Casuals Osteria 2-1 New Cefn Albion
CF Avides 0-0 Ousevale Borough
Ellisham 0-1 Caversham
Emberton Reds 0-0 Krytenia Emberton
Mercia Bromham 0-0 Stanton Town
Notegia Rangers 0-1 Norton

KFA Cup Quarter Final Draw
Ousevale, Mercia, and the Reds are somehow kept apart as the competition reaches its thrilling climax; Borough will play Stanton instead, Emberton get Notegia, and Mercia face lower division opposition in the form of Secklow. Beckton Supermarine face O-League Three side Oustia in the other tie.

Full Draw:
Ousevale Borough v Stanton Town
Beckton Supermarine v Oustia
Secklow v Mercia Bromham
Notegia Rangers v Emberton Reds

Matchday Eighteen
It looks like it could be Emberton providing the title challenge to Ousevale right now. The Tigers may have beaten Bradwell, but Reds' win over New Cefn means they've only dropped two points in nine games. Casuals slip up with a draw against Stratford, and Mercia move into third.

Still no change in the bottom three, though Notegia scored their second win of the season over Caversham; Stanton beat Avides and move away from the sharp end into tenth place.

Results:
Avidia United 3-2 Beckton Supermarine
Caversham 0-1 Notegia Rangers
Krytenia Emberton 0-0 Ellisham
New Cefn Albion 0-1 Emberton Reds
Norton 0-1 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Bradwell Saints
Stanton Town 3-0 CF Avides
Stratford Rovers 0-0 Casuals Osteria

Matchday Nineteen
And one by one, they fall short. Casuals draw with Avidia United, Mercia (third) draw with Caversham (third-bottom), and they're now eight and nine points respectively behind leaders Ousevale, who beat Stanton two-nil. Emberton Reds stay four points behind after hammering Stratford.

Elsewhere, Bradwell Saints keep up their exciting season, moving up to sixth with a win over Beckton.

Results:
Beckton Supermarine 0-3 Bradwell Saints
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Avidia United
CF Avides 1-0 Norton
Ellisham 0-1 New Cefn Albion
Emberton Reds 5-0 Stratford Rovers
Mercia Bromham 1-1 Caversham
Notegia Rangers 0-2 Krytenia Emberton
Stanton Town 0-2 Ousevale Borough

Matchday Twenty
It is, quite simply, Ousevale's to lose now. This time, it was Emberton's turn to drop points against Avidia United (who seem adept at taking points off the top four, shame about the other eleven teams) and with the Tigers beating Beckton, the gap is now six points.

The bottom is far more open, meanwhile. Just goal difference separates Ellisham in thirteenth and safety, and Caversham one place below in the relegation zone. Even Notegia “Two Wins All Season” Rangers are only three points from salvation, and at this stage it does look like three from those four.

Results:
Avidia United 0-0 Emberton Reds
Bradwell Saints 2-1 Casuals Osteria
Caversham 0-0 CF Avides
Krytenia Emberton 0-2 Mercia Bromham
New Cefn Albion 3-1 Notegia Rangers
Norton 0-0 Stanton Town
Ousevale Borough 2-0 Beckton Supermarine
Stratford Rovers 2-0 Ellisham

Top Five At-A-Glance:
Ousevale Borough – 16-3-1 – 51pts
Emberton Reds – 14-3-3 – 45
Mercia Bromham – 13-4-3 – 43
Casuals Osteria – 12-3-5 – 39

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART FIVE

KFA Cup Quarter Finals
Ousevale, then, are human after all. A thrilling encounter at Southern Arena was the only match to go to extra time, and Yoshiaki Soma's winner was the difference as Stanton Town knocked out the league leaders.

Elsewhere, it went to the form book as Beckton and Mercia both beat their lower-division opponents, and Emberton Reds swept aside Notegia to complete the line-up for the last four.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 2-3 Stanton Town (AET, FT 2-2)
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 Oustia
Secklow 0-2 Mercia Bromham
Notegia Rangers 0-3 Emberton Reds

Matchday Twenty-One
As one end of the table drags towards its inevitable conclusion, the other gets a whole damn sight more interesting. Notegia Rangers started the day at the foot of the table; they finished it outside the drop zone after beating Stratford. They leapt above Norton, Ellisham, and Caversham, who all lost, but with thirteenth through fifteenth separated only by goal difference, and bottom side Norton only two points further back, anything can still happen.

At the business end, the top three all won, but Casuals could only draw with Beckton and are only a point ahead of fifth-placed Krytenia Emberton. Bradwell stay sixth despite a six-one hammering at the hands of Mercia Bromham, and are hoping for one of the two remaining top five sides to lift the Cup come the end of the season to nab a Globe Cup place.

Results:
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Beckton Supermarine
CF Avides 0-1 Krytenia Emberton
Ellisham 0-2 Avidia United
Emberton Reds 6-1 Bradwell Saints
Mercia Bromham 2-0 New Cefn Albion
Norton 0-3 Ousevale Borough
Notegia Rangers 3-1 Stratford Rovers
Stanton Town 1-0 Caversham

Matchday Twenty-Two
Eight games to go, eight points the gap, and the suits at Lowess Lane will almost certainly be dusting off the white and black ribbons at the end of the season. Emberton Reds were held by Supermarine, and are now level on points with Mercia Bromham. Ousevale beat Casuals, and Krytenia Emberton took advantage of that result to jump above the Miners and into fourth.

At the other end, Notegia win back-to-back games for the first time this season to go two points clear of the danger zone. Norton pull themselves off the foot of the table, meanwhile, with a three-one win over Caversham, who replace them.

Results:
Avidia United 1-2 Notegia Rangers
Beckton Supermarine 0-0 Emberton Reds
Bradwell Saints 0-0 Ellisham
Caversham 1-3 Norton
Krytenia Emberton 2-0 Stanton Town
New Cefn Albion 0-0 CF Avides
Ousevale Borough 3-1 Casuals Osteria
Stratford Rovers 1-3 Mercia Bromham

KFA Cup Semi Final Draw
The big two were kept separate, as Emberton drew Stanton, and Mercia were paired against holders Beckton. The big surprise was in the choice of semi-final venues, with traditional choices such as the Southern Arena and New City Stadium eschewed in favour of venues in Osteria and Bradwell.

Full Draw:
Emberton Reds v Stanton Town (New Coalfields, Osteria)
Beckton Supermarine v Mercia Bromham (Abbey Road, Bradwell)

Matchday Twenty-Three
It's the Reds' turn to lose points this week, as they're beaten by Casuals; Mercia overtake them with a win over Avidia United, but Ousevale's four-nil humbling of Caversham means it's still an eight point gap.

At the bottom, Norton beat Krytenia Emberton to claw themselves out of the relegation zone as Notegia slip back into the bottom three after defeat at home to Bradwell.

Results:
Caversham 0-4 Ousevale Borough
CF Avides 0-3 Stratford Rovers
Ellisham 1-3 Beckton Supermarine
Emberton Reds 0-1 Casuals Osteria
Mercia Bromham 3-1 Avidia United
Norton 2-0 Krytenia Emberton
Notegia Rangers 0-3 Bradwell Saints
Stanton Town 3-0 New Cefn Albion

Matchday Twenty-Four
Ousevale actually drop points! Emberton Reds hold them to a goalless draw, and Mercia beat Bradwell to cut the gap to six points. It's no help to the side from the capital though, who are still eleven points adrift in third.

Caversham were the only side in the bottom four to pick up a point this week, with an unexpected draw against Krytenia Emberton; they remain rooted to the foot of the table though.

Results:
Avidia United 0-0 CF Avides
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 Notegia Rangers
Bradwell Saints 0-2 Mercia Bromham
Casuals Osteria 4-0 Ellisham
Krytenia Emberton 1-1 Caversham
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Norton
Ousevale Borough 0-0 Emberton Reds
Stratford Rovers 0-1 Stanton Town

Matchday Twenty-Five
Beckton Supermarine may well have torpedoed the title race stone dead. In a dress rehearsal for their KFA Cup semi-final next week, they faced Mercia Bromham and came away from the Midland Stadium as two-nil victors. Ousevale also recorded a two-nil victory to go nine points clear of Mercia at the top – they could be just two games from the title. They've already confirmed a Champions' Cup spot though, thanks in part to Casuals Osteria's surprise draw with Notegia.

With sixth place looking more likely to gain a Globe Cup place now, the race is hotting up between Beckton and Bradwell for that spot. Bradwell won their game against CF Avides to stay one point behind the Mariners.

Notegia's draw, though good in context, was not much help in their relegation dogfight – mainly thanks to Norton's victory over Stratford, a result which means the gap between the two sides is now three points.

Results:
Caversham 0-0 New Cefn Albion
CF Avides 0-1 Bradwell Saints
Ellisham 0-3 Emberton Reds
Krytenia Emberton 0-2 Ousevale Borough
Mercia Bromham 0-2 Beckton Supermarine
Norton 1-0 Stratford Rovers
Notegia Rangers 0-0 Casuals Osteria
Stanton Town 0-2 Avidia United

Top Six At-A-Glance:
Ousevale Borough – 20-4-1 – 64pts (TQCC qualified)
Mercia Bromham – 17-4-4 – 55
Emberton Reds – 16-5-4 – 53
Casuals Osteria – 14-5-6 – 47

Season 15  -   Cafundó do Juta           Atlético Jutense
Season 16  -   Petardos S/A              (none)

Finally the time has come for the Cafundelense First Division to be decided. As you know, Ranca Toco had a good start and was leading the league, thanks to their strong defensive football. Behind them, the favourites for the title, being them Cafundó do Juta, Petardos S/A and Atlético Jutense. After the halfway point, it seemed the offence of Ranca Toco started to fail the team, as they were unable to score in most games, transforming possible wins in frustrating draws. Soon the team lost their lead over the main opponents, and started to concentrate its fight for a TQCC spot, which had to be guaranteed. But the bad form of the attack continued, even with them being some of the most praised players of the first half of the Primeirona. In the end, a very disappointing finish for Ranca Toco, which had to be satisfied only with playing in the Globe Cup, together with Porto Lacruz and Clube Imperial, which came just behind the Sarrafeiros.

About these two teams, they must be happy to be able to conquer a spot in international competitions, as they only did it with a very small margin over their opponents in the zone between the 8th and 11th position. América, A.F.F., SC Lasft and Central United ended in the painful situation of being close, but not being there. For Clube Imperial, it is their return to the international scene after many seasons, something that can put them back in the route of success... but what about the TQCC? Well, the teams which were able to get the four important places ended being the more expected ones, even with the surprises at the halfway point. Petardos S/A and Atlético Jutense didn't have difficulties, Cafundó do Juta struggled a bit and may be disappointed to be forced to play in preliminary stages again, and maybe to lose again even being now the best-ranked team in the world... and Dunboor FC was able to improve the Globe Cup position to a TQCC one.

But we are commenting about the dispute for the top positions, and forgetting to talk about one as exciting: the battle to escape relegation! At the halfway point, São Jorge was the last place, which was somewhat surprising. They fought hard to escape the unwanted situation of having to play in the Segundona for the next season, but in the end they couldn't... by two points, São Jorge got relegated. More about this, two teams that got promoted last season faced relegation: Nova Éden and União Trabalhadora. To complete the four teams that won't participate of the elite division of Cafundéu, it is Metropolitano. They never were contenders for the top positions, but managed to escape relegation without major problems in the previous seasons... well, not in this one. The Second Division welcomes them back, although surely they won't enjoy this welcome. Good for Cruzeiro do Sul and the others who fought against relegation and won the war.

Let's now focus on something extremely important in the Primeirona and all the other divisions: the second phase. For most teams, the league has already ended, but for the ones still hoping to win the title, it isn't. Although the first phase winner starts with advantage, the title is still an open race, with the best eight teams of the league playing the knockout round. That's why the teams want so much a top 8 position. And it was a tough dispute, with few teams being able to guarantee this position with ease, being those the top 5. The others were only able to commemorate in the last rounds, being threatened by other teams... and what about América, which only got the position thanks to the number of wins tiebreaker?

Quarter-Finals – 1st Leg:

(8)                  América     2-1     Petardos S/A             (1)

That was a big surprise when Petardos S/A was unable to continue in the second phase after being defeated by 8th placed América. No other result came close to it, neither was considered an upset at the quarterfinals. Atlético Jutense nearly produced another, but was able to defeat Clube Imperial with the draw, as it had the advantage. Dunboor FC and Ranca Toco played against opponents of nearly the same level, so any result in their games wouldn't be surprising. At the semifinals, another upset as América defeated Ranca Toco, ending the title hopes of the team which lead the Cafundelense League for many rounds. Dunboor FC's win over Atlético Jutense was also surprising, but at a lesser degree. In the final, Dunboor FC stopped América from its fantastic run, winning both games and the second phase of the league with this result, sending them to the title game against the winners of the first phase.

So, the final was set to be Petardos S/A against Dunboor FC, held at Cafundó do Juta. Both teams had already decided many titles, in very difficult games, and it was certain that that game wouldn't be different. Petardos S/A fielded its “super-team”, considered the best of the Cafundelense League history, even with last season's being more successful. Dunboor FC played with its “hard-working team”, lead by a strong offensive midfield and the popular coach. Unfortunately for the Lions, the quality of their opponents was much higher, and the Billionaires could get the first goal quickly, thanks to Danny Adams. Miguel Silva put his team back into dispute with a goal, but Petardos S/A scored two more times in order to stop a possible reaction from their opponents, and to conquer another title, being this one the fifth Primeirona title of the Billionaires, consolidating a record that already was of the team.

PETARDOS S/A WINS THE LEAGUE!

Honestly, the title victory of Petardos S/A was expected, as their level was considered to be higher than all of their opponents, thanks to the huge investment of their chairman and sponsors. The team composed by world stars had a lot of success, and people were expecting to see who would arrive to Petardos in the next season. Coach Waldenyr Caldas also commemorated with comments praising himself, and saying that he should coach the National Team... well, maybe he is right. Laborious Hawk, current captain of Petardos S/A, lifted the trophy with just one hand, before realizing that was going to be difficult and quickly using the other hand too to avoid an embarassment... it was a great title party.

Everyone loves to know about the prizes, even if they all know that most of them are somewhat biased... something like “we must praise winning teams, players from winning nations, players who did well in other seasons too...”. Well, that's true. But this doesn't mean that the prizes are underserved. This season, for example, any of the top three could have won... Adams, Schiermeier or Hawk. In the end Adams won it, perhaps due to his ever-good form. On the other trophies, the top goalscorer was also Danny Adams, only the third time a player wins both trophies. There also weren't many players of teams in intermediate positions on the top 5 of each position, like usually happens.

The Segundona... you may not believe it, but this is a rather popular league in Cafundéu, with many people following the Second Division even if their preferred club isn’t there. So, for many teams only the fact to be in the division is already very rewarding. But there are always those teams who aren’t satsified with it, and want more... they want the promotion to the First Division, that brings a SBCC spot with it as a gift. Many teams in the Segundona this season had experience in the Primeirona, and are eager to return, feeling that they deserve to be in the highest level. So, the battle is more focused on promotion than on the title sometimes! Let’s remember the halfway point situation... Eldorado was leading with a very good advantage over its main opponents Bandeirantes and Santa Cruz do Norte... have they maintained the good position? The answer is... no, and for a good difference. After a nice but far from perfect first half, Galáxia finally showed its strength.

Eldorado had a eleven-point lead over Galáxia, which was in fourth place, and a seven-point lead over the second placed Bandeirantes... how did they manage to lose the first phase victory in such a way that they ended ten points behind Galáxia? The answer is very simple: they actually had a losing record at the second half of the league! From a nearly perfect campaign to a frustrating one, which thankfully was saved by the nice start. In the end, Eldorado managed to keep the promotion spot, and will be on the Primeirona together with Galáxia and Santa Cruz, which kept its third position, with Bandeirantes falling to fifth behind traditional side Khalmar-Tijhus. In the bottom section of the tables, remember that the dispute was very close, with many teams having relegation chances? It took a while, but eventually some teams started to get deeper into the lower positions, and only one position was still uncertain at the later stages of the league.

So now we reach the second phase of the Second Division. Yes, eight teams are still battling for the title at this point, three of them already promoted to the First Division due to first phase performance... but four teams got relegated from that division... this means the second phase decides the last promotion spot, with five teams fighting for it, giving more excitement to the knockout round. And, of course, all the teams are looking forward to win the title, with only one team guaranteed in the final so far, Galáxia... after the very poor second half of the league, Eldorado was willing to get the title as a way to compensate the fans for the late form, the same happening with Bandeirantes which also wanted a promotion.

Final 1st Leg:

(2)                 São José     1-2     Eldorado                 (1)

Final 2nd Leg:

(1)                 Eldorado (4) 2-0 (1) São José                 (2)

There must be something wrong with this league... how can a team that won the first phase with ten points of advantage simply lose in the quarterfinals of the second phase? And this happened in the First Division too... well, let’s continue with the comments. Galáxia was surprised with São José, with what was the only upset of the stage... the other games had teams with equal levels too, although an Eldorado loss would be surprising too... well, Bandeirantes defeated their more traditional but now weaker opponents, and had a good chance to get promotion, needing just to defeat São José in the semifinals of the second phase... but they failed, giving the promotion to their opponents. With this, the eighth placed team in the first phase got the promotion, and had a chance of disputing the title of Segundona, needing to win the final against Eldorado. That was too much for them, with Eldorado winning the phase.

GALÁXIA WINS THE SECOND DIVISION!

A final of the Segundona is always a very difficult game, as the teams don’t have top stars, and usually are on similar level, although sometimes this situation changes when a highly popular club gets relegated, and ends dominating the Second Division the season after. But this game wasn’t one of these exceptions, with both teams playing a similar level of football, with coaches willing to show their talent and players taking this game as an opportunity to get a better contract or even a transfer. Even with the fact that few players involved in this game were known, the game had good audience on the television, and ended with a close victory for Galáxia, which once again frustrated Eldorado’s hopes.

The Terceirona... at least this is still a recognizable name for the Cafundelenses, which know that it exists, and some are even interested in following it... what a strange taste, I say, as it doesn’t really have a good level of football. At least not compared with the top divisions of the CCFM league structure or the top divisions of foreign leagues. But we can notice some known names among the teams involved in the Third Division, as SBCC champions Aliança. They won it a long time ago, but at least they won it once. Petrol and Penders are the other two biggest examples of famous teams playing in the Terceirona, as they have spent many seasons in the First Division. What a sad situation for them to be away from the spotlights right now.

To the league now. Two teams were able to put themselves on a higher level compared to their opponents, and could take the top positions of the first phase without difficulties. Aliança was the one that ended winning the phase, even without leading the standings for most of the competition. Instead, it was Palestra who was at the top for a long time, but was unable to keep the position, falling to second. Not a bad result, after all, as promotion is guaranteed to them. Nacional Cruz was the last team that got the promotion still in the first phase, recovering after being relegated from the Segundona last season. Let’s move further, as we really don’t want to waste a lot of time talking about the Terceirona. As in every other league, four teams are relegated... it must be really horrible to get relegated from what is already a lower division. But some teams had to be punished due to their bad campaigns, giving space for some new teams to attempt to climb the league.

ALIANÇA WINS THE THIRD DIVISION!

The reasons for a team to get motivated to play the second phase of the Terceirona are the same ones of the teams in the Segundona: the second phase is their chance of getting the place in the Grand Final, and for the teams that weren’t promoted in the first phase, the chance to go to the Second Division. This time, the eighth placed team lost in the quarterfinals, so we had no upsets at that stage. In the semifinals, Aliança ended losing to SC Carnavalesco, which isn’t a bad team at all, although it only really performs well on February. As the second phase games are in October/November, SC Carnavalesco was unable to continue winning in the phase final, losing to Palestra. In the Grand Final, however, Aliança returned to show good football, defeating their rivals and getting the hands of their captain on the trophy. It wasn’t a small trophy, at least in size, so they really must be happy with the conquest.

The CCFM really likes to see the stadiums being used, don’t it? The bad thing is that the stadiums may be used for Quartona, or Fourth Division, games, but never get filled with supporters. The only people that go to watch a game involving teams of the Fourth Division are the fans of the team, and sometimes even they don’t go, leaving on the stands only the families of the players and possibly the mother of the team’s chairman, with maybe someone selling hot dogs and ice cream there too.

SÃO LONGUINHO WINS THE FOURTH DIVISION!

So, we had a first phase much more disputed than in the other divisions, which may be a proof that the Quartona is far from uninteresting. Mocidade barely took the lead over Esportivo Jutense, and the second phase promised many good games. In the end, both teams playing the second phase final haven’t got the promotion, so the winner would go to the Terceirona. And São Longuinho not only did that, but also won the title with a good win over Mocidade.

Now, Quintona. Hehe, I really tried to find something nice to say about the Fifth Division of the Cafundelense League, and attempted to ask people about it. Most people said similar things, like “I didn’t know that the Cafundelense League had a Fifth Division”. That’s right, the Quintona is unknown to most supporters, and those who know it exists believe a game of it must be horrible to watch. I don’t have the courage to watch a game to prove this theory or not.

IMPÉRIO DE FLORES WINS THE FIFTH DIVISION!

Okay, okay. We had another close first phase, with the difference between the top clubs being of very few points. Império, from Flores, was the best team, with Sport Clube and Acadêmicos right behind, with those three getting the automatic promotion spots. In the second phase... Império won again, consequently winning the entire division. Well, that really wasn’t funny. But at least this ends the Fifth Division more quickly, surely a relief for this poor journalist.

Teams invited for the fifth division: Beira-Mar, Universitário, Arranhacéu and EC Avenida.

First Aeropag Football Invitational

Invitees
The Paripana Sporting Council invited twelve teams (six seeded and six unseeded) to the Olympic Tower for the first Aeropag Football Invitational. One other applicant, Taylor’s Cross, was rejected to meet numbers, while another, Trecelunas FC, had its application inexplicably disappear in the Tower’s extensive elevator system—we suspect that the PSC employees assigned to oversee the tournament failed to hold themselves to the high standard expected for a competition of this prestige. Finally, the VFA apparently intended to send a team, but failed to submit an application at all. In any case, as these were all seeded teams, they could not have been included unless at the expense of other teams.

Seeded
Poikimitagiin FE (VPH)        TakilQuip Champions’ Cup champion
Albrecht FC (CAM)             Globe Cup champion
Aeropag Penguins (PSC)        Host
Snowspire (SNO)               Sorthern First Division fair play champion
Sporting San Marquez (SRG)    SuperLiga champion
Mercia Bromham (KRY)          O-League champion

Unseeded
Atlantas Klaipaada (SOM)      Meistrliiga runner-up
Fontvielle Impact (VLD)       Valladar Super League champion
Grasshoppers Turic (OSR)      Osarius King’s League champion
Sanghae Haetae (HAN)          Special invitee
Four Towers (TBI)             FFB Premier League champion
Lakia City Dragons (BAL)      Balida Futball League champion

Format
With twelve teams, the format of the group stage would be two groups of six, with each seeded team playing the unseeded teams once, and each unseeded team playing the seeded teams once. As UICA cup champions, Poikmitagiin FE and Albrecht FC were automatically placed in opposite groups (A and B, respectively). The four remaining seeded teams were placed in one pot, and the six unseeded teams in another pot. The groups were drawn as follows:

Group A: Poikimitagiin FE, Mercia Bromham, Aeropag Penguins, Grasshoppers Turic, Atlantas Klaipaada, Four Towers
Group B: Albrecht FC, Sporting San Marquez, Snowspire, Fontvielle Impact, Lakia City Dragons, Sanghae Haetae

The group standings would be determined, in order, by points, head-to-head result (if one seeded and one unseeded team are tied), goal difference, goals for, and fair play standings. The top two teams in each group advanced to the playoff bracket (for 1st–4th place), the third- and fourth-placed teams in each group advanced to the classification bracket (for 5th–8th place), and the fifth- and sixth-placed teams in each group advanced to the kindoff bracket (for 9th–12th place). In each bracket, the higher-placed team from Group A was paired against the lower-placed team from Group B, and vice versa.

2180–81 Élite League

Élite League One
The race for the title was not even close, with Yuba United securing yet another trophy on matchday 66 and extending their advantage to twenty points by matchday 69 (they felt no need to field a full-strength side on the last day, with the Capitalizt SLANI Cup final quickly approaching). The usual Big Three finished…well, in the top three, while the remainder of the Champions’ Cup qualifiers provided no shocks. Neither Überdome-based club managed to find its way into a UICA tournament, and CF Mont-Pluie Jativa proved convincing in their first season in the top flight.

Élite League Two
The race for promotion to League One was interesting, for all 1093 people who find League Two interesting. VfB Lordrin was the surprise performer of the season, looking for some time like they might be chasing promotion after seeing Mont-Pluie’s run in the previous season, but eventually settled for becoming the first LSB team to qualify for the Series B Champions’ Cup.

O-LEAGUE SEASON V - PART SIX

KFA Cup Semi Finals
What. The. Hell. This was absolutely, definitely, not in the script. On Saturday, Stanton “Tenth” Town defeated Emberton Reds...and then on Sunday, it was Beckton's turn, eliminating Mercia Bromham and setting up a Stanton-Supermarine final.

We like to call that one “The Other Beckside Derby”.

Results:
Emberton Reds 0-2 Stanton Town (New Coalfields, Osteria)
Beckton Supermarine 2-0 Mercia Bromham (Abbey Road, Bradwell)

Matchday Twenty-Six
Ousevale Borough may be just seven days from winning the title, and created another bit of history in their five-nil victory over Ellisham. Starblaydi striker Soraya Roshanak hit three of those five, making the Tigers the first club to have strikers score hat-tricks in four different games. Mercia are at least making sport of it, beating Casuals Osteria to keep the gap at nine, but they're looking for a collapse of epic proportions to be in with a chance of lifting the Marshall Warzycha Shield for a third time.

Not much changed at the bottom, with Norton and Ellisham both well beaten, and Caversham only managing a point against Stratford.

Results:
Avidia United 3-0 Norton
Beckton Supermarine 1-0 CF Avides
Bradwell Saints 0-0 Stanton Town
Casuals Osteria 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Emberton Reds 2-0 Notegia Rangers
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Krytenia Emberton
Ousevale Borough 5-0 Ellisham
Stratford Rovers 0-0 Caversham

Matchday Twenty-Seven
OUSEVALE BOROUGH ARE THE CHAMPIONS! In the end, the gap was too great for Mercia, and as they drew with Emberton Reds, the Tigers ground out a one-nil victory over New Cefn – and with a team full of foreign internationals, the irony was that the deciding goal came from a Krytenian teenager, Ricky Sexton putting the ball home from a half-cleared corner. Casuals' defeat to Avides, meanwhile, clears up the Champions' Cup picture, with Mercia Bromham and Emberton Reds assured of at least third place.

In the race for a Globe Cup spot, Beckton pulled level with Krytenia Emberton by defeating Stanton in a preview of the KFA Cup final, whilst the Pats were beaten by Stratford. Bradwell beat Norton to bring themselves within three points of that vital fifth place.

And finally, to the bottom. Notegia beat Ellisham to bring themselves level on points with current safe club Norton; the result means that the Stones are still six points from staying up. Caversham flattered to deceive again with yet another draw, this time with Avidia United.

Results:
Caversham 0-0 Avidia United
CF Avides 3-2 Casuals Osteria
Krytenia Emberton 0-2 Stratford Rovers
Mercia Bromham 0-0 Emberton Reds
New Cefn Albion 0-1 Ousevale Borough
Norton 0-2 Bradwell Saints
Notegia Rangers 3-0 Ellisham
Stanton Town 0-3 Beckton Supermarine

Matchday Twenty-Eight
With the top three assured in content (if not in position), and Ousevale readying the champagne, the focus moves onto fifth place and the relegation dogfight. In the former, Krytenia Emberton did themselves no favours, conceding a Robert Kapromanowitz goal just ELEVEN seconds into their game against Avidia United, a game Pats would go on to lose two-one. The result allowed Beckton Supermarine to leapfrog them into that coveted fifth position, despite only getting a draw with Norton.

The race to beat the drop, meanwhile, claimed its first victim. Ellisham's defeat to Mercia Bromham was the end of their efforts to stay up; Norton's point was enough to extend the gap between Stones and safety to seven points, with six left to play for. Caversham racked up their fifth consecutive draw against Saints, meanwhile, to stay three points behind the Greens as the season enters its penultimate act.

Results:
Avidia United 2-1 Krytenia Emberton
Beckton Supermarine 2-2 Norton
Bradwell Saints 1-1 Caversham
Casuals Osteria 0-0 Stanton Town
Ellisham 0-2 Mercia Bromham – Ellisham relegated
Emberton Reds 3-1 CF Avides
Ousevale Borough 3-0 Notegia Rangers
Stratford Rovers 0-1 New Cefn Albion

Matchday Twenty-Nine
It's all over for Krytenia Emberton. Their defeat to Bradwell Saints means they cannot now catch fifth-placed Beckton, who beat Caversham two-nil. The result all but relegates the Dragons; however Notegia and Norton both fluffed their lines to leave Caversham still in with a mathematical chance – but when you're hoping for a turnover of nine in terms of goal difference, you know you're clutching at straws. Especially when your last match is against the team lying fourth in the table.

The race for fifth is not over, though, despite Pats' defeat; the win for Saints means they are now sixth, three points behind Supermarine; ironically, they'll now be looking for Krytenia Emberton to do them a favour by beating the Mariners at Orange Street on the last game. Bradwell will also need to beat New Cefn by enough goals to overturn a five-goal gap in goal difference.

Results:
Caversham 0-2 Beckton Supermarine
CF Avides 0-0 Ellisham
Krytenia Emberton 2-3 Bradwell Saints
Mercia Bromham 1-1 Notegia Rangers
New Cefn Albion 0-0 Avidia United
Norton 0-1 Casuals Osteria
Stanton Town 2-0 Emberton Reds
Stratford Rovers 0-2 Ousevale Borough

Matchday Thirty
And so, to the end, and only one word can describe what happened. Anticlimax. Beckton got the point they needed to secure fifth; Krytenia Emberton stole sixth with that same point after Bradwell fell to New Cefn Albion, but it's a pyrrhic victory.

At the bottom, Caversham went down hard, losing seven-nil to Casuals, whilst Norton's battling draw against Emberton Reds proved not to be enough, Notegia sending the Greens straight back down with a win against Avides.

And finally, an interesting footnote. Mercia Bromham beat Ousevale to record only the Tigers' second defeat of the season. The first? Back on Matchday Fifteen...against Mercia Bromham. Still, the defeat didn't dampen the mood, as captain Piran Hean lifted the Marshall Warzycha trophy, confirming Ousevale Borough as champions for the second time.

Results:
Avidia United 0-3 Stratford Rovers
Beckton Supermarine 0-0 Krytenia Emberton
Bradwell Saints 0-1 New Cefn Albion
Casuals Osteria 7-0 Caversham
Ellisham 0-2 Stanton Town
Emberton Reds 0-0 Norton
Notegia Rangers 1-0 CF Avides
Ousevale Borough 0-2 Mercia Bromham

KFA Cup Final
Beckton Supermarine, just a dot on the footballing map not so long ago, are now back-to-back winners of the KFA Cup, coming from behind to defeat Stanton. Marek Krofcky fired the Dockers into an early lead, but Josh Ecozi equalised for Beckton. The winner, twelve minutes from time, came from an unlikely source – Tim Solomon scoring only his second of the season for the Mariners. Stanton will still be in the Globe Cup though, thanks to Beckton's fifth-place league finish.

BECKTON SUPERMARINE - 2 (Krofcky 13)
STANTON TOWN - 1 (Ecozi 36, Solomon 78)

Lower Leagues
O-League Two was massively competitive, with all three promotion spots decided on the last day of the season. In the end, it was Secklow bouncing back at the first attempt as champions, with Avidia City making a much anticipated return, and Ousevale Juniors as the surprise package. They snuck in ahead of Thackworth Rovers on goal difference; Dereapolis and Simpson, meanwhile, the other two relegated teams from last season, were fifth and sixth respectively. At the other end, Aylesford went from Series B Champions' Cup to relegation in a season; they were joined by Linford United and Neathill.

O-League Three surprisingly didn't see a return to higher echelons for former Premier teams Aigburth and Monthuez, but did see a surprise title for Oustia; congratulations also to Shruton Town, Valque United, and Salton, the champions of Four, Five, and Six.

2008 Bank of Tentalon Supreme League

The Supreme League's inaugural season could really be summed up in a single word: domination. Okay, and maybe anticlimax, too. Hartford City had the league officially wrapped up with four games left to play, the other TakilQuip Champions' Cup berth was decided on that same day, and all three clubs from the capital would go on to finish in the top seven. City took no prisoners, building up a triple-digit goal difference rarely seen in a 38-game league and finished a staggering 38 points ahead of third-placed Sudbury, who were the only team to defeat them during the campaign.

OpiCola Prime League

The Prime League, thankfully, was a great deal more competitive and featured a quite extraordinary final matchday that saw all of the top four teams in the table lose; fortunately for them, there was a five-point drop to fifth, so nobody was hurt, although it would end up being a big missed promotion opportunity for Sumter County.

Season Capsules: 2053/54 Competition, 2054/55 Classification

2053/54 Competition

With three titles in ten years and only one season in that span with more than three regular season losses, it's safe to say that Thane have become one of the premier programs in the nation. They may not completely dominate their conference, but some tournament time, they know how to turn it on. The neverending mission to maintain the talent pipeline resulted in yet another Shiba Valley title this year, but it went down to the wire after facing a tough challenge from Shiba State. They went into the final day leading by a point by were thrashing at Lansing 4-1 to give Shiba State a window, but they could only draw Grandborough 0-0 to hand Thane the title on goal differential.

Thane's season was only good enough for a No. 17 ranking when all was said and done; the top dogs were Chastain, who breezed through the Northern Plains with a strong +17 goal differential and eleven wins. Down south in Sullivan, Glassport City equalled that mark plus a national-best +19 differential. Neither team faced any serious competition in the standings, although at least Chastain were being chased by a nine-win Stoneridge team that was only kept out of the tournament by its bipolar play, as six losses were a serious drain on their resume.

The at-large round of the tournament began with a pair of victories for the techs -- Carnegie and Cyert, both teams which have made the final, advanced over ranked opposition to kick things off. Carnegie's travelling support is nationally famous for its quirky array of cheers, and it was no secret that organizers loved having them in the field. Also good for generating interest was an early-round matchup between Hazuki State and Pollock, both schools with deep history but more heartbreak than success. Hazuki State won both legs by a goal to advance. A disappointing end, too, for Konoha Academy. Second in the Big East but ranked ahead of champions Fujiwara, the team gave away a two-goal lead from the first leg to lose 4-3 on aggregate to Frickstowne.

Carnegie Tech rolled in the conference round by smashing Shiratori 7-1 on aggregate, a scoreline duplicated by Takano over Purnell and nearly equalled by Chastain, who comfortably won their opener against Keats Island 7-2. Given that the Curse of No. 1 had been lifted two years earlier by Callahan, analysts gave them a shot. Hazuki were out, as were Cyert, 6-2 aggregate losers to the Royal Academy. One of the most charged ties of the round was a conference derby between Lunarossa State and Bouquet, and it was the kind of matchup that makes proponents of the random draw smugly say "I told you so" whenever the invariable discussion on its merits gets heated. Bouquet converteded a 1-0 road victory to a 3-2 aggregate result. There were, of course, several high-ranked casualties, foremost among them No. 2 Glassport City, losers 5-4 against Redwood City, and No. 4 Kimstown City, who went down 3-2 to Fujiwara.

The Sweet Sixteen draw put together No. 1 Chastain and No. 17 Thane, and the two proceded to play two of the most entertaining matches in recent memory. Neither team managed to hold serve at home, putting both fanbases through a roller coaster of emotions and holding the attention of neutral fans more than any other match of the round. Thane won 3-1 in the first leg after scoring three unanswered in the second half, but since away goals weren't in play, the nation's top team had a less difficult road ahead of them for the second match. They led 1-0 throughout and a controversial late penalty conversion took them to penalties. Justice was served when Thane won the shootout to cut off the comeback bid.

Overshadowed by the Thane-Chastain clash were a number of other upsets. Frickstowne continued their run by defeating No. 5 Raizon, Carnegie Tech downed No. 10 Callihan, and No. 11 Shiba defeated No. 3 Baptista in what was the round's second most attractive tie. Next in line after that was No. 8 Royal Academy and No. 23 Fujiwara, but a 4-2 first leg victory for the Royals set up an anticlimactic second leg out east. There, a 2-0 win gave them a commanding 6-2 aggregate victory, putting them in the quarterfinals.

The Royal Academy and Shiba were perpetrators of the two most lopsided games in the tournament. Shiba's 6-0 home win in the second leg of their tie with Takano gave them an 8-0 aggregate win and immediate installed them as one of the favorites. Not to be outdone, the Royals exploded for five away to Redwood City. Frickstowne and Mount Fujiko contested a battle of Cinderellas which was won 4-2 by the former, and Thane suffered a close call at the hands of Carnegie Tech before scraping through on a lone goal at home in the second leg.

As it turned out, the quarterfinal blowouts by the Royal Academy and Shiba were foreshadowing a destined clash in the finals. Both were given stiff tests in the semis, though. The Royal Academy figured to have the easier path when it drew Frickstowne, and a 4-2 road win seemed to confirm that. But they ended up backing into the championship game after a 2-1 loss in the home leg. Shiba, meanwhile, had to tackle Thane, and they did so successfully by winning both matches by a goal. They would be slight underdogs in the championship game, which would be played in the Royal Academy's backyard. The extra support cheered an early goal, but the battle-hardened University of Shiba roared back to win the match 2-1 to claim the school's first title.

IUCC Roundup

Although Helmsley had been toppled in the IUCC XXI final, it meant four straight appearances by a Dancougar team in the championship. If nothing else, the College Alliance was still considered the world's strongest college league, but the pressure was on to retake the title when Gilderome, Thane, and Aiken entered the group stage of IUCC XXII. Thane and Aiken were drawn together in Group D and although ideally both would have escaped, that wasn't expected. Thane ended up dominating, going 4-1-0 and finishing with six more points than its nearest competition... and seven more than Aiken. They figured to be Dancougar's best shot at the world title, even though Gilderome also won its group, though not nearly as comfortably.

Onward to the quarterfinals, where Gilderome were immediately dismissed by Ad'ihan's Frontier College by the score of 4-2. Thane took the field later that day and rolled 3-1 over Melin to set up a semifinal date with West Zirconia's St. Martin Medical Institute, which resulted in a 2-0 win. That made it five straight finals appearances for Dancougar, and their opponents were Frontier. Like Till before them, they had a shot at tackling all of Dancougar's knockout-stage teams successfully, and they would succeed with a 2-0 result.

Normally, the IUCC takes place during the summer between the Competition and Classification seasons, with some matches played concurrently with the spring tournament due to the expande field. This time around, there was a fluctuation in fluid time which added a second IUCC in the summer of 2055 following the end of the Classification season. A hastily-arranged tournament ended up sending Ledesma, Trafford Tech, and Aiken. The results, by and large, were unflattering.

Trafford and Aiken were placed in a play-in round against Paripanian competition, Van Prooijen and Paruvia Tech, respectively. In the past, these may have been considered easy wins for the Dancougaran schools, but the times are changing. The advantage once enjoyed by the Original Three has started to evaporate, and Paripana is one of the associations leading that charge. Only Trafford's match was close, as they managed a road draw before collapsing in the second leg. Aiken were thumped 6-3 on aggregate.

Ledesma were the only team left, and they weren't given a chance by the analysts. They had surprised everyone by winning the emergency tournament, and now they did it again by rolling through the group stage with a perfect twelve points from four matches, a dominating +11 goal differential, and blowout wins against Stanley College and Melin. But Paripana came calling in the quarterfinal in the form of Easthampton College, and the teams finished regulation 2-2. Ledesma took the lead in the second half of extra time, but the euphoria of certain victory gave way to nervous uncertainty when Easthampton equalized in the 118th. Ledesma were beaten in penalty kicks 5-4, and the quarterfinal exit meant Dancougar's worst performance as an association since IUCC XVII.

SBCC Roundup

Two years ago, we were here wondering if the SBCC was even in reach for any of these teams, given two straight runs putting no teams in the group stage. At some level, the response is something along the lines of: "Well, duh! They're amateurs against professionals. Young amateurs. Who don't go through nearly the same level of training as potential footballers in other countries." But the counter has always been the same: "That's precisely why this experience is necessary. Dancougaran professionals start late. This is one way to give them some real-time development." The argument goes back and forth and never changes, also the pro-side got a boost from the tremendous success of Thane College, who simply had a monster class.

Fresh off their third national title, Thane entered the Competition season by getting back to the semifinals. We've already read about that. They also made the IUCC final in the following summer, which we've also told you about previously. Of course, they were also playing in the SBCC concurrently with the Competition season and tournament, which makes what they've done even more impressive... especially when we tell you that they also reached the semifinals of this thing!

They didn't enter until the playoff round, though. The SBCC started with the University of Dancougar and Pollock College in the prelims. Although UD had qualified by finishing the regular season undefeated, they exited the national tournament in the first round they played. It was the same here, as Krytenia's Aylesford toppled them 2-1 after a scoreless first leg. Pollock breezed past Tae Myeik, though, 5-1 to join Granger Island and Thane in the playoff round. There, the tables were turned on them, as CF Clan Tropa put five on them instead.

Thane and granger Island both won their ties to make the group stage, and even though both were in the midst of tough league races at home, they nevertheless produced stellar results by winning their SBCC groups as well as their conferences. Thane finished a point ahead of Krytenia's Norton in what was a very tight Group D, while Granger Island and Turks' Club ran away with Group G. Granger Island's 3-0 home loss to the Turks was the only black mark on their run, although the good times came to a quick halt in the round of sixteen, where Cafundeu's Engenheiro Peres romped 8-1 on aggregate.

But Thane had more in the tank. They lost the first leg at Keto Lodilunaji 2-1 but scored three without reply in the return leg to advance to the quarterfinals for a date with Areck Furness. Sorthern Northland is just one of several associations which has leapfrogged Dancougar in the last decade, and although an SBCC win won't count for much in the rankings, Thane and its fans were not complaining about the 3-0 result that sent them into the semifinals. The campus atmosphere was electric. Could they handle Engenheiro? As has become a recurring theme, there's one team that simply sweeps through all Dancougaran competition when it gets to knockout time. Thane lost 3-2 at home after a scoreless first leg and they would finish fourth overall.

The class which won the 2052/53 national championship considered 2053/54 just as successful, even though the only thing they won was their own conference. But reaching the semifinals of three tournaments, including two overseas, was huge. The only possible downside to all that was that they would have to rebuild, and fast -- the roster was about to be picked apart by the D-League draft.

2054/55 Classification

Once again, Thane didn't come anywhere close to run away with the Shiba Valley Conference. But the record was a bit misleading. At 7-5-2, they had one of the nation's best goal differentials at +15, and they were inexplicably unranked despite being arguably better than most of the teams at the bottom of the top 25. One observer remarked, "Even when they're not good, they're good." Their tournament performance would have the last word on that subject, as they needed to do something big to follow up on a monster Competition which saw them reach three tournament finals.

What of the previous finalists, Shiba and the Royal Academy? Well, the Royal Academy had a great year, finishing with only one loss en route to winning the Yuki CPL with 31 points and a ridiculous +20, which was only the third best in the nation. They were pushed hard all the way by the University of Dancougar, which finished only one point behind them. Both made the tournament field, and a few tried to argue in favor of Yuki State for a third bid. Shiba didn't fare as well in the Kishin Plains; while a 7-2-5 record was respectable, it wasn't enough in a tight conference race which saw five of the eight teams finish with at least seven wins.

The nation's top two teams were Kabuto University and the University of Sullivan, who both carried their conferences with the nations first- and second-ranked offenses, respectively. Kabuto went 10-5-1 in the Big North with 41 goals scored, while Sullivan scored 40 en route to 12-2-2. Similarly, both teams were at +22 and had ten-win rivals on their heels. That way, neither could say that they sleepwalked into the tournament.

As usual, there were teams caught on the outside looking in and had to find someone to complain about. Six-loss Hazuki State and Shadow Cliffs got the brunt of the complaints from schools which felt like they had a legitimate shot such as Wean State, Pine Bluffs, and half of the South Central Conference. Nara College also had six losses, but they also had ten wins. It was a tough argument, since one normally guaranteed entry and the other served to deny it. In the end, though, Nara would have the lost word on everybody.

At-Large Round

(#24) Nara College 3-1 (#7) Baptista College
Hazuki State University 1-3 (#13) University of Lunarossa

Shadow Cliffs State College 6-1 (#12) University of Dancougar
Zane Island State College 5-5p Carnegie Technical Institute
(#16) Akatsuki University 1-2 (#10) Wexford College
Shapiro State University 0-2 Jefferson College

First, though, they had to get through an opening-round tie with No. 7 Baptista, which helped Kabuto terrorize the Big North during the regular season. They weren't nearly as tough once they reached the tournament, but Nara led a few opportunities slip and had to settle for a 3-1 aggregate win. The University of Dancougar's season came to an abrupt, and disappointing, end after Shadow Cliffs proved that their credentials were in order. They put three in the net in both matches to advance comfortably in the most lopsided result of the round. Carnegie Tech, always ones for a party, used penalties to escape Zane Island intact.

(#18) Eimoto College 4-5 (#17) Yuki State University at Helmsley
(#4) Barynsk College 4-2 (#25) Frickstowne College

Thane and Chastain's tournament rematch didn't have the hoopla surrounding it as it had the previous year, and this time it wasn't as close, either. Thane were quite happy to be in the tournament, media ranking or not, and a 3-0 road win was the difference. Four of the top five teams advanced, with No. 5 Alameda the odd team out after losing 4-2 to Akasaka, but the winners were all pushed to the limit. Sullivan need penalties, Barynsk survived perennial spoilers Frickstowne, and Kabuto defeated the eighth-ranked Royal Academy in what was billed as the matchup of the round. The fans certainly weren't disappointed as the Royals staged a desperate second-leg comeback at home. A Kishin Delta derby was also a highlight of the round, with Nara overcoming conference champs Kildare Maritime.

Sweet Sixteen

(#1) Kabuto University 4p-4 (#17) Yuki State - Helmsley
Carnegie Technical Inst 3-0 Crane State College
Thane College 2-1 (#2) University of Sullivan

Thane were underdogs heading into their matchup with the University of Sullivan, but the attitude eminating from their camp was one of champions -- "We'll play anyone, and beat them." A 1-0 home victory in the first leg proved to be the difference in a close contest, although the matchup of the round had to be Kabuto's nail-biting penalty shootout over Helmsley. Helmsley overcame a two-goal first leg deficit with a 4-2 home win to force the shootout, but the nation's No. 1 continued its march. This meant that only one of the top ten teams was left in the field, since Desugaia went out on penalties to Lunarossa and Barynsk was upset by Purnell.

Quarterfinals
(#15) University of Gilderome 5-2 (#13) University of Lunarossa
(#24) Nara College 2-1 Purnell College
Carnegie Technical Institute 0-4 Thane College
Shadow Cliffs State College 0-3 (#1) Kabuto University

Oh right, remember Nara? Turns out the ten wins were more indicative of their quality than the six losses, because they were in the semifinals after beating Purnell. Gilderome and Lunarossa was the most attractive matchup of the round on paper, but Gilderome won the first leg comfortably 3-1 and wasn't threatened in the second by silencing the traditionally potent Lunarossa attack. Kabuto sleepwalked past Shadow Cliffs 3-0 and Carnegie Tech had the misfortune of running into Thane. A pair of shutout losses had fans thinking yet another trip to the final was in the cards.

Semifinals
(#1) Kabuto University 6-5 Thane College
(#24) Nara College 5-2 (#15) University of Gilderome

When suddenly, that happened. Kabuto University were by no means unbeatable, but as a No. 1 team they were looking strong in tournament play and ready to become the second such team to lift the trophy. But Thane's "Invincibles" had other ideas. Most of the nation missed Nara's 3-0 first leg victory because they were focused on the shootout on the Kabuto campus which finished 3-3. So while Gilderome faced the nearly impossible task of making up three goals at home, Kabuto went to Thane with the entire tie up for grabs. Both games were at 2-2 until the 81st minute, when Kabuto nabbed the winner.

Collegiate Grand Final
(#1) Kabuto University 2-3 (#24) Nara College

In the days leading up to the final, tickets for the final could be found on auction sites seeking hundreds, even thousands of novas. After all, the Thane fans who'd purchased tickets for the final suddenly had no use for them, and fortunately for them the demand was high. As advertised, it was a seesaw battle. Kabuto drew first blood and went into halftime up 2-1, but Nara made the correct adjustments to come back for the win. The game was an offside call away from going into extra time, as Kabuto had a goal disallowed when it was still 2-2.

International Qualifiers

Kabuto would normally have gotten the third SBCC slot for being the media's No. 1 team during the regular season, but by finishing as the runner-up in the tournament, they were entitled to the second slot, instead. That meant the fan vote winner would earn the third slot. Thane, essentially assured of a College Alliance pick at worst, was in a position to choose where it played international football the next season, and having sniffed SBCC glory the last time out, it was obvious where they were leaning.
