Westonbirt City (TCU) 1-1 Telecontarë (STB)
Crystal Mertagne (TCU) 2-0 Bob's Towing (LGL)
Tyrellia Titans had managed to go the entire first quarter of the season without a win, and had only managed to notch one victory by the halfway stage - and even that was a narrow win over equally unimpressive relegation-candidates Corinthian Spirits. It was with little fear, than, that fans of AC Izotz Zubia travelled to the Tyrellia for Matchday 22, and thus it was rather a shock when they found themselves on the receiving end of a 2-0 defeat in a surprisingly one-sided game.
Zozi, usually challenging for the title, currently way down in tenth, are not having a vintage season. Osarians Hastmead Diamante, however, are, and the side rattle four goal past a hapless Cazadores to give league leaders 1830 Cathair something to think about. The Catharans themselves are victorious away from home, surviving a late fightback to overcome Draig Goch by two goals to one.
Iskara Daii’s drab 0-0 draw means that the top two pull even further away at the top of the pack.

International of Tyrellia (LGL) 1-0 Crystal Mertagne (TCU)
Telecontarë (STB) 0-2 Bob's Towing (LGL)
Cazadores Cathair's shock win over crosstown rivals 1830 Cathair had been the first victory for Caza in the derby for years, and Andro Mendez's opening goal in the fifth minute leads some to believe they may well do it again. Espiridon Caszely, however, has other ideas, and levels the scoring before half-time. The second half sees the Cazadores capitulate spectacularly as first Lidgley, then Caszely again, then Peter Masters put 1830 4-1 up, with Aaron Aiza and Cyrus Damhan completing a 6-1 rout.
The win puts the onus on Hastmead to win out in their match with Firewood City, which they do via a 3-0 scoreline. Iskara Daii avoid falling further off the pace with a 2-0 win over Itzaovalle while, elsewhere, Magnaeus City thrash a struggling Foxchester Raiders by four goals to nil.

Telecontarë (STB) 1-0 International of Tyrellia (LGL)
Firewood city suffered at the hands of their compatriots Hastmead Diamante last week, and few people expect them to dent 1830 Cathair's title ambitions, but dent them they do by holding the league leaders to a 0-0 draw, allowing Hastmead to take control of the title race with a win over Oljestaden IF. It's a win they have to earn, as Oljestaden twice lead through Durder Celetholtinu's goalscoring prowess and only take a narrow 4-3 win via a last-minute goal by Nicola Costello.
At the bottom, Titans scrape another point to add to their meagre tally by grabbing a draw wih Lesko Pavillion, though neither Draig Goch nor Foxchester Raiders can make any headway, losing 1-3 and 1-4 respectively to former LigAnaia champions Fligsive FC and AC Izotz Zubia.

Burgess FC (TCU) 1-1 Telecontarë (STB)
Communas Cougars (LGL) 2-0 International of Tyrellia (LGL)
Iskara Daii are having a vintage season, and they keep up their winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Bob's Towing. They've now picked up nine points in three games, while Cathair and Hastmead have only managed seven - the latter dropping two points at home to Crystal Mertagne via a 0-0 draw.
AC Izotz Zubia, by contrast, are struggling to keep the pace in the middle of the table, let alone the top, though nevertheless the men in salmon and silver win out in the Tzierra derby with a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over mountain rivals KT Itzalovalle.
Fligsive, the traditional powerhouse of Calanian football, have now won four of their last four games and, despite Iskara Daii's form, are level with the Starblaydis in the league.

International of Tyrellia (LGL) 1-1 Iskara Daii (STB)
Communas Cougars (LGL) 0-2 Burgess FC (TCU)
There are bananaskins abound in the top half of the table as Hastmead, now down in second place, visit Telecontare and go down 1-0 to the elves, while neither Isakra Daii nor AC Izotz Zubia can defeat southern opposition, the former drawing with Legalites Inter Tyrellia while the latter can only tie with Crystal Mertagne.
The opportunity is there for the other big guns to make ground, and while the Syndicatian 'big three' of Fligsive, Burgess and Magnaeus all win - the latter in a 6-2 away victory - Zozi again slip up, failing to beat struggling Westonbirt City.

Iskara Daii (STB) 2-1 Burgess FC (TCU)
Magnaeus City make it eleven goals in two games as Legalites Inter Tyrellia travel to the shadow of the black peak and are given a 5-1 hiding. Fellow Legalites Comunas Cougars are just as unfortunate, going down 3-0 to Hastmead who's win fails to catapult them above 1730 Cathair who sneak past a spirited Telecontare team by a goal to nil. Iskara Daii keep pace via an impressive 2-1 win over Burgess in Sunday's televised game. Fligsive FC beat Foxchester to make it six wins out of six.
At the bottom, Tyrellia Titans continue to pick up the odd point as they draw with Westonbirt.

Burgess FC (TCU) 2-2 Magnaeus City (TCU)
Iskara Daii (STB) 2-1 Hastmead Diamante (OSR)
Match of the weekend on Matchday 28 is undoubtedly the clash between second-placed Hastmead Diamante and third-placed Iskara Daii. With 1830 Cathair having already overcome Comunas Cougars in an end-to-end game on Saturday morning, the Starblaydis and Osarians battle to keep pace with the league leaders. Marquinhos Carnavalense puts the Daii in the lead, Elaine Ashdown replies via a second-half header but its the Starblaydis that take the spoils, Jan Macik scoring an injury-time winner to further close the gap between themselves and the top two. Fligsive make it seven from seven…
MATCHDAY 29
Fligsive FC (TCU) 1-0 KT Itzallovalle (AUD)

AC Izotz Zubia (AUD) 0-0 Burgess FC (TCU)
1830 Cathair FC (AUD) 0-2 Iskara Daii (STB)
Magnaeus City (TCU) 1-1 Hastmead Diamante (OSR)
Matchday 29 sees Iskara Daii take their third win in a row in their third six-pointer in a row, and it's league-leaders Cathair who fall victim to the resurgent Daii, losing 2-0 at home in an encounter that suggests IDFC may well be the best team in the league at the moment.
Fligsive, of course, probably have something to say about that, especially after going eight-for-eight with victory over KT Itzalovalle.
Elsewhere, Magnaeus vs Hastmead is another big game, and again Hastmead fail to truly impress as a supposed challenger for the league title, as Magnaeus equalise early to cancel out Giorgia Caruso's opener and hold on to draw without the diamonds looking too much like scoring.
The other marquee tie is Burgess's trip to Zozi, but neither team is having an easy time of it and the lack of form is telling as the match finishes goal-less.

Iskara Daii win, Fligsive go nine-for-nine, Hastmead and Cathair both lose, and the title chase is starting to open up properly after having previously looked like a two-horse-race.

It's ten out of ten for Fligsive, who relegate Hastmead down to third place for the first time since christmas as the Osarians travel to lowly Tyrellia Titans and, in a madcap game, go 3-1 down with ten minutes to go before clawing their way back to a draw, with Louis Porter and Fer Ronco saving the Osarians' blushes.
In Audioslavia, Cathair travel to Zozi in the biggest of Audioslavia's heavyweight clashes, and while Zozi haven't shone as bright as the capital club as of late, they do manage to hold the champions to a one-all draw.

1830 Cathair FC (AUD) 4-1 Tyrellia Titans (LGL)
AC Izotz Zubia (AUD) 1-1 Corinthian Spirits (STB)
It's eleven wins from eleven games for Fligsive as they canter to a two-one win over Crystal Mertagne. Cathair beat Tyrellia Titans 4-1 to keep their noses ahead, while Hastmead put five past Lesko Pavillion to ensure they don't lose sight of the top two.
Isara Daii continue their winning ways by overcoming Cazadores Cathair, and though Magnaeus City do win, the gap between themselves in fifth and the Daii in fourth is a whole nine points. Zozi and Comunas Cougars are both having disappointing seasons thus far, while Crystal Mertagne, in eighth, are enjoying a better than average year.
The same can't quite be said about Burgess FC. Burgess, never yet champions, are a team who expect to be at least fighting for the CL places come April, and to be stuck down in tenth place with ten games to go - and with a whole twenty points between themselves and the CL places - is beyond unacceptable for the Syndicatian powerhouses.
At the bottom of the LigAnaia, Tyrellia Titans are still rooted to the foot of the table, but a succession of draws have at least ensured they have yet to be cut adrift. Foxchester, despite having as many wins as seventeenth-placed Oljestaden, are second-bottom and struggling, while the trio of Draig Goch, Lesko Pavillion and Corinthian Spirits are barely keeping their heads above water.
Cazadores Cathair are in sixteenth place. But then Cazadores are always in sixteenth place.
Meanwhile, in LigAnaia Two - It's business as usual as a dominant Tout-Puissant Hasiera continue to top the table, with many different teams scrambling behind to catch up. The battle for third at this point could go any of three ways from here, but FC Southern Ninestar's recent spate of wins has pushed them into a position where they might still have a shot at promotion. The middle of the table is an even closer affair, with just three points separating 11th and 16th. A single win is all it could take to propel any team out of the fear of relegation, but equally, a loss could push any of them straight back down again. Bottom tablers Athletico Gonzales and Sayyaf could possible bring themselves back from the brink, and maybe even push Capital Mertian team Lehen Neorudo back down to LigAnaia Three...

Matchday 29 sees Iskara Daii take their third win in a row in their third six-pointer in a row, and it's league-leaders Cathair who fall victim to the resurgent Daii, losing 2-0 at home in an encounter that suggests IDFC may well be the best team in the league at the moment.
Fligsive, of course, probably have something to say about that, especially after going eight-for-eight with victory over KT Itzalovalle.
Elsewhere, Magnaeus vs Hastmead is another big game, and again Hastmead fail to truly impress as a supposed challenger for the league title, as Magnaeus equalise early to cancel out Giorgia Caruso's opener and hold on to draw without the diamonds looking too much like scoring.
The other marquee tie is Burgess's trip to Zozi, but neither team is having an easy time of it and the lack of form is telling as the match finishes goal-less.

AC Izotz Zubia (AUD) 1-1 1830 Cathair FC (AUD)
It's ten out of ten for Fligsive, who relegate Hastmead down to third place for the first time since christmas as the Osarians travel to lowly Tyrellia Titans and, in a madcap game, go 3-1 down with ten minutes to go before clawing their way back to a draw, with Louis Porter and Fer Ronco saving the Osarians' blushes.
In Audioslavia, Cathair travel to Zozi in the biggest of Audioslavia's heavyweight clashes, and while Zozi haven't shone as bright as the capital club as of late, they do manage to hold the champions to a one-all draw.

1830 Cathair FC (AUD) 4-1 Tyrellia Titans (LGL)
AC Izotz Zubia (AUD) 1-1 Corinthian Spirits (STB)
It's eleven wins from eleven games for Fligsive as they canter to a two-one win over Crystal Mertagne. Cathair beat Tyrellia Titans 4-1 to keep their noses ahead, while Hastmead put five past Lesko Pavillion to ensure they don't lose sight of the top two.
Isara Daii continue their winning ways by overcoming Cazadores Cathair, and though Magnaeus City do win, the gap between themselves in fifth and the Daii in fourth is a whole nine points. Zozi and Comunas Cougars are both having disappointing seasons thus far, while Crystal Mertagne, in eighth, are enjoying a better than average year.
The same can't quite be said about Burgess FC. Burgess, never yet champions, are a team who expect to be at least fighting for the CL places come April, and to be stuck down in tenth place with ten games to go - and with a whole twenty points between themselves and the CL places - is beyond unacceptable for the Syndicatian powerhouses.
At the bottom of the LigAnaia, Tyrellia Titans are still rooted to the foot of the table, but a succession of draws have at least ensured they have yet to be cut adrift. Foxchester, despite having as many wins as seventeenth-placed Oljestaden, are second-bottom and struggling, while the trio of Draig Goch, Lesko Pavillion and Corinthian Spirits are barely keeping their heads above water.
Cazadores Cathair are in sixteenth place. But then Cazadores are always in sixteenth place.

Meanwhile, in LigAnaia Two - It's business as usual as a dominant Tout-Puissant Hasiera continue to top the table, with many different teams scrambling behind to catch up. The battle for third at this point could go any of three ways from here, but FC Southern Ninestar's recent spate of wins has pushed them into a position where they might still have a shot at promotion. The middle of the table is an even closer affair, with just three points separating 11th and 16th. A single win is all it could take to propel any team out of the fear of relegation, but equally, a loss could push any of them straight back down again. Bottom tablers Athletico Gonzales and Sayyaf could possible bring themselves back from the brink, and maybe even push Capital Mertian team Lehen Neorudo back down to LigAnaia Three...
