Talking Point: 3pm approached and arrived and the nation was tuned into their laptops and smart TV to watch the game between Oldem Knights and Barbury Town. The scheduling gods had favoured things such that, in the end, the top two would play on the penultimate matchday. Pre-match Oldem had a one point lead and could clinch their first ever ANL title with a victory. However, from the start, it seemed as if they would have to wait, at the very least, a week. The Barbury Town players, spurred on by an impassioned pre-match speech by first manager Alan Eustathios and then a more expletive laden one from Jarls Magarhatery, just seemed to get to every ball first, challenge that little bit harder. Two first half goals left Oldem with a mountain to climb and the game was really over in the fifty-eighth minute when Falcon Case rose highest to a ball into the box to make it three-nil. This makes the title Barbury's to lose going into the final day, and what is even more tasty is that they will face the Knight's arch-rivals Mechanical in the final. However, they shouldn't expect Mechanical to be throwing the game - their ANL survival depends on it as they hover dangerously above the relegation zone at present.

The second tier sees Mandon United comfortably romp to the title to see their return to the top tier after an extended time in the wilderness. Manager Chris Orani has gone some way to rebuilding his reputation after something of a failure in his previous job at FC Brimstone, and now gets the chance to prove he can keep the former ANL mainstays in the top tier next season. Urbanista Young Boys, riding high with ten games to go, somehow fail to get even into the play-offs, denied their chance to prove themselves at the top level on goal difference, and so it is Mulhampstead, Uxminster Athletic and Calshott Lighthouse who must fight it out.

The bottom is exceptionally close, the bottom three teams all tied on points, but it is Gwinevra Bulls who can count themselves the lucky ones, as they just about keep their place in the league next season, with Skibbereen United and Urchfont Aggressors dropping down into the third tier.

ANL3


The third tier sees Mona A.F.C return to the second tier for the first time in a long old while, Mona comfortably above everyone else in the division all season. Beneath them, Yerk United, Bouldertown and Wallwatch F.C complete the play-off teams. Jakkar Town, despite looking sunk a while ago, manage to survive on goal difference, with Docklands United heading down to the regionals along with Thurrock, who couldn't pull a run of form together.

Season 27 - Year One


Image


Bold New Format Declared for ANL

by Giles Foppington | 16th December 599

Image
New IFA President announcing the ANL changes.


The tumultuous history of Apoxian domestic football has taken a fresh direction after contract disputes led to a wave of the highest profile foreign stars leaving the league. The previous President, Sammie Puskas was quietly relieved of her role following on from the twenty-sixth season of the ANL - won by Gwinevra Barbarians.

The new boss - former Apox international goalkeeper, Joleon Small, was quick to stamp his influence on domestic football, overhauling the Apoxian league system for the third time in five years since the return of Apoxian football following the corruption scandal.

In a bid to increase Apoxian involvement in more competitions - such as the CEdC, which has been oft ignored by Apoxian administrations - the ANL league system will take place over two seasons, operating in a quasi "apertura-clausura" style. The actual composition of the leagues, of four tiers with the ANL, ANL2, ANL3 and Regional Leagues remains the same and the same number of teams will compete in each league.

However, the timings will change, so that there is likely to be a great deal of extra games played, proportional to league games. The changes are summarised as follows, primarily focussed on the ANL:

- In the first year, 15 games of the ANL are played, in a single round robin format.
- At the end of these fifteen games, the lowest place team is relegated to the ANL2, while the highest placed ANL2 is promoted.
- Participation in UICA, Cygnus Cup and CEdC is as usual, occurring yearly, based off the results from that year. The CEdC participants will be the league winner and the highest placed non-UICA qualifying team. The Marshall Cup will also continue yearly.
- In the second year, the return 15 games of the ANL are played, with the promoted team replacing the relegated team's spot in the fixtures.
- Once again, participation in the next UICA, Cygnus Cup and CEdC occurs, and another Marshall Cup.
- At the end of the second year, the winner of the whole, 30 game, two year season is declared the overall Champion and the bottom two teams are relegated to the ANL2.

This will be quite the change for Apoxians, but the hope is that football of a higher quality will be able to be played. Additional plans for more domestic tournaments are also being considered, if 15 games + Marshall Cup every season is considered too low a number for clubs not regularly competing for UICA. Additionally, this can help alleviate some of the contract problems, as in theory, slightly smaller squads can be utilised for the less established squads as fewer games are likely to be played.

16 Gwinevra Barbarians                 1    0   0   1     0    3   −3     0


Talking Point: FC Harpoon upset the apple cart, with the team tipped to finish rock bottom this year facing up against last seasons champions in Gwinevra. After the end of the game, the ends of the table are occupied by the reverse teams to those expected, after a performance by a clearly still warming up Gwinevra side. Bjarkin Goring opens the scoring for the underdogs from Cawln, before Ade Untermyer doubles the advantage after half time. The result is sealed from a free-kick, with Ebenezer Oliver's deflection to Jock Austin's kick beating Jadranka Steele. Gwinevra will be hoping this is a blip, and not how their season is going to end up going.

From the lower leagues: AFC United of Cierbanor 8–1 Yerk United (ANL2)
Yerk United (another one fancied for the drop) have a painful start to their season - a complete dismantling by AFC United - Sigrid Brooklyn of Nephara netting herself four in that victory.

Talking Point: Reigning Champions struggling. Gwinevra haven't really got into their stride yet as they search for a record extending ninth title at the end of next year. Up front, Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval has looked her usual self, happily banging in chances and half-chances, but the defense has looked a little shaky so far. No one can dispute the quality in a defense containing Ambrósio Constantini, Liam Dosic and Cynthia Pack, but for some reason they've just looked a little disjointed so far - something that will leave Chris Maarsden scratching his head trying to solve.

Talking Point: Axe the Dominant continuing Oldem Knights improvement. Axe the Dominant earned respect and fear in equal parts for his playing style - hard and uncompromising. As a manager, he seems even more a force, basically bullying his team into performances. However, it appears to be working so far, as they sit just a point behind FC Endeavour at the top of the table. He has taken a talented but not superstar squad (with the possible exception of Jack Jevđenijević) and turned them into real workhorses. This is exemplified by 35 year old captain Helios Richardson who has marshalled his team on the field and turned into an extension of his manager on the pitch.

Talking Point: Wofford Town's struggles. Wofford Town have a broadly talented squad, but so far sit bottom of the table, having just looked quite toothless so far up front this season. New manager Armando Quillisi needs to find a way to get good chances to Julienne Eriksen up front. His main problem is that his midfield, while being hardworking, it not overly creative. The young Eusebio Drawbridge is the most creative presence on the team, but at nineteen doesn't yet have the consistency to be the midfield lynchpin the team is craving. Until then, Cleopatra Hyde and Coleman Ezekitias must up their game from the wings.

Talking Point: Exton's revival under Tolgus Tregajorran. Since the return of the ANL after the corruption induced hiatus, Exton have really struggled in the league - a far cry from the days when they were UICA regulars and an occasional Champion's Cup team in the days when the ANL had a heady 7 places in UICA. However, this season has seen more of an emphasis on attack - and while five goals in six games might not indicate that, looking at chances created, the numbers are increasing each week. Jhon Mercurier - up until this season thought to be an average striker who'd only ever broken through at Dwile due to the potent midfield behind him, is being redeployed by Tregajorran as a player who can create chances now rather than just finish them - something which is adding another side to his game. Additionally, Robyn Yamazaki is having her best season in Apox so far and is also creating a greater number of chances - she set up Aliser Redmond for his goal against Calshott Lighthouse for instance.

Talking Point: AFC United of Cierbanor continue to dominate the ANL2. Six games played. Six games won. A goal difference of +18 and 25 goals scored. Cierbanor are a force to be reckoned with this season - and don't be surprised if they're the team who come up at the end of the year at the mid season swap point.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights in the mix. Axe the Dominant has once again bullied his team into a good position in the early part of the season - aided by having top quality strikers up front in Eri Raajimakers and Jack Jevđenijević. However, this has been a symbol of his time in charge of the Knights - a strong early start before fading away later on. With the top of the table still so tight, only 6 points between Endeavour in first and rivals Mechanical in 8th, Axe will need to keep getting his team to pull out strong performances. Their most recent win, a convincing 3-1 away victory over Urbanista where Raajimakers, Huel and Nightshade scored shows the differing directions of the teams. This need to keep happening and the key to that will Arthur Jakkar maintaining his strong run of form, pulling the strings in midfield. This is probably the 33 year olds best season in the ANL so far - inspiring the Knights to a trophy of some sort would be just reward for his quiet brilliance in the centre of the park.

Talking Point: FC Brimstone lacking identity. Despite being one of the few teams to be mainstays in the ANL over the years - FC Brimstone could probably take the title of "ANL's most bland team" (other than possibly Wye United), something their fans would argue passionately against. The truth is Brimstone were a wreck when Chris Orani took over, and so he's had to steady the ship with what he's had. They are still in financial difficulties, and so he may have to sell at the end of the year to mold a more cohesive squad - perhaps having to sell Isadora Bloodsworth, Luxulya Hamilton or Emi Leland. However, a draw against the ever impressive Dwile Warriors will please Orani, and give him a vital point as he tries to steer his team away from the drop.

Talking Point: Low scoring. This season has been a fairly low scoring one - even for a fairly defensively set up league, with an average of 2.66 goals being scored per match. Looking at the table, this becomes apparent when you see that five teams have scored at less than a goal a game so far, with only two (Barbury Town and Dwile Warriors) scoring at a rate of two goals a game or more. This can't be entirely due to strikers misfiring, with Marcy Blake-Tatum, Kel Koromin, Winston Arrowsmith and Aldo Vocani all having scored five or more goals so far. The defending has been of particularly high quality so far, and it is perhaps that which tells a greater story - the defensive unit at Barbury Town being particularly impressive so far.

Talking Point: Gavin Hughes sacked. From national team hero and widely respected coach to seeing Urbanista (UICA qualifiers last season) currently in 14th in the table and looking largely short of inspiration. To be fair, they have been drained of talent a little, with Marcy Blake-Tatum moving to Dwile Warriors and Malachi Gallagher also moving on, but there is still a lot of talent in the team and they've been massively underperforming all season. The hunt for a new manager begins.

Talking Point: The Auld Classic. One for the ages there, as you simply don't expect to see a scoreline of 8-2 between two teams of such calibre. Gwinevra Barbarians played the best they have so far this season, and Dwile Warriors were certainly sub par, with Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval showing the form she showed last season to win the golden boot, scoring a hat-trick, one from the left boot, one from the right and one from the penalty spot. Moon Dust was quick to bemoan the result, stating that "it was surely a case of Gloria King's sending off which led to the scoreline seen." I'm not too sure myself, the score as already at 4-1 when King was sent off for dragging Eneka Hexmark down in the area - Oakstone-Sandoval completing her hat-trick to make the score 5-1.

Talking Point: Barbury Town top of the table! Barbury have struggled to regain the heights they reached before the hiatus in the last few years, with even the return of Ken Rickwright for a season and a half not bringing them back to the promised lands of UICA football. Their fans are therefore delighted to see them currently top of the table under new manager Alan Eustathios, who has managed to give Aldo Vocani the support up front he needs and has benefitted from Jarls Magarhatery's emergence as a player to rival Imriel Townsend and James Palmisano in terms of skill and ability. They are in pole position to gain Champion's Cup football this season, but must do well in the second half next year to add another title to their collection.

Talking Point: Guaranteed to have an ANL2 Marshall Cup Winner. In extraordinary scenes in the Marshall Cup semi-finals, the two competing ANL sides, FC Brimstone and Dwile Warriors were knocked out to lower league opposition, guaranteeing a lower league winner of the Marshall Cup for the first time in it's history. Uxminster Athletic are a side with recent ANL pedigree, and they did well to beat out FC Brimstone, taking the game to penalties and then showing their nerve. For Witchunt however, this is the ultimate Marshall Cup fairytale, with the ANL2 team hailing from a town of less than 20,000 population taking on the giants of Dwile Warriors, and comfortably beating them! They raced into an early lead and then just kept on scoring, with Forlock Pentameter's goal coming after the game was already decided.

Talking Point: Race for the final Globe Cup place. With the ANL now expanded to having two Champion's Cup places again, there are a wide variety of teams who can finally get a look in now that there are two spots available outside of the usual big guns of Gwinevra Barbarians, Dwile Warriors and FC Endeavour. At the moment, Tolgus Tregajorran's Exton F.C are in pole position to head to the Globe Cup, but FC Brimstone, Oldem Knights, Egloskerry and Wrexton F.C can all mathematically qualify, though you expect it to be one of the first three who will qualify for that last Globe Cup spot.

Talking Point: FC Harpoon relegated. How far Rodin Vidal has fallen... from winning the league with Barbury Town pre-hiatus to now being relegated with FC Harpoon, the team he brought up to the ANL all those years ago. Harpoon have looked pretty listless all season and a return of eight points from fourteen games is just not good enough, with Vidal announcing he will step down in his role at the end of the year, in order to let someone with fresh ideas come in to help Harpoon come straight back up from the ANL2 at the end of these new elongated seasons. They will be replaced by AFC United of Cierbanor in the ANL, who've largely swept the ANL2 and will be spending the season half of the season in the top tier with the big boys.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights vs Exton F.C. And so it transpired that Oldem Knights would host Exton on the final day of the year, with the winner most likely to gain the final Globe Cup spot, providing FC Brimstone couldn't upset the applecart. Despite Tolgus Tregajorran's side making a bright start, they couldn't translate their initial early advantage into goals, with Jhon Mercurier coming closest drawing a good save from Ulysses Abujamal in goal. In the second half, fired up by a half time shouting at from Axe the Dominant, the Knights were a different proposition, Nightshade getting the opening goal of the game in the 63rd, heading home Alexsandr Denisov's cross, before Jack Jevđenijević coolly slotted home from the penalty spot. The Knights are heading for UICA football for the first time in the merged club's history (St. George's Creek participated a few times). Exton F.C must content themselves with the CEdC.

Talking Point: Uxminster Athletic become the first lower league club to lift the Marshall Cup. Witchunt were the plucky underdogs in the final, even scoring the opener from the fantastically in form Elliscombe Hape. However, they simply weren't able to withstand the pressure from Uxminster, many of whom have playing experience in the ANL and it shows with Justice Redmond scoring the equaliser in the first half and then Oberon Khalil and Joanna Ushindi taking the game away from Witchunt. They will represent Apox in the Cygnus Cup next year.

Mareibat Season Three - Preview

by Dulles Washington | 15th March 600

The MBC were typically disorganised last season and somehow the Mareibat Premier never occurred. Not to worry, as it returns this year, with Halholzer United once again overwhelming favourites to win yet another title. Bellight FC have added a few additional players to their squad, although the loss of Richard Armada to Valladares will be a big loss for them. They do, however, retain hopes of becoming the second team in the league to be fully professional next season and pip Harmonica Tundra to that in the process. From the rest of the pack, Teol United, Pilgrimage and Cape of Hope FC look the best positioned to nab a Globe Cup place. At the bottom of the table, Halholzer Spitfires continue to look as dreadful as the clubs ability to function properly, even behind traditional minnows Scraglet Rover and Arbour Lights FC.

Bellight F.C 2–0 Halholzer United - Matchday 2
Bellight F.C gain an early advantage over their fierce rivals, Roger O'Connor's United looking a little sluggish starting the season off and Vina O'Hara taking full advantage of that here - even with the loss of their striking talisman, Richard Armada. The first goal is a well struck Studio Marquis strike past Torin Johnstone, who is too slow to react outside her penalty area, before the second is Schottic striker Jan Ümann's first goal at the club - you sense it won't be his last.

Harmonica Tundra 4–1 Sciongrad Rovers - Matchday 6
The Tundra sweep aside a scrappy Sciongrad Rover's side, Hannah Croxton up front being an absolute weapon all match - she has a hat-trick after twenty-six minutes, to the dismay of many Rovers fans inside the small ground just outside Halholzer. Sciongrad do strike back through Donald Arondo after half-time, but a Jack Morriston goal late on confirms what everyone already knew. This result moves Harmonica Tundra up to third, behind Bellight F.C and FC Euclid(!). Halholzer United have had a poor start to the season, and are currently 7th, with Roger O'Connor in hot water at the moment.

Bellight F.C 3–1 Bellight Wanderers - Matchday 16
The Bellight derby is as tempestuous as ever, with the Wanderers in the large number of teams who can generally be described as being "pretty bloody terrible" at the moment. Bellight, however, are on the up, and go into this game somehow seven points ahead of Halholzer United in second - their best shot at a title in quite a while. However, the Wanderers strike first, and early. A player from each side is sent off, first Jacob Ironwald for the Wanderers and then Lenka Skarsgaard for FC. However, with more space to play into with less players on the pitch, Bellight work their magic, and a Geena Opendale double either side of Jan Ümann's goal later, Bellight trot out winners.

Pilgrimage 2–0 Bellight F.C - Matchday 26
Bellight F.C go into the final matchday tied on points with Halholzer United currently in first. In their way stand Pilgrimage, the small team from outer Halholzer who have been transformed under Roy Tobin this season and still have faint hopes of wresting UICA football away from Cape of Hope FC. Bellight start with their usual belligerence, attempting to batter Pilgrimage off the ball. But this is the Mareibat Premier, and there are few experiences as tough as playing away to Scraglet Rovers on their lumpy, muddy pitch on a rainy Saturday evening in front of 200 supporters, so teams tend to get tough. And so it proves, Dean Flint squeezing an opener past Herudden Macklehove in the thirtieth minute before doubling his team's lead seven minutes into the first half. With Halholzer United gliding past FC Euclid 1-0 - the most Halholzer of scorelines - the title is sealed. Back to Halholzer for another season then.

Mareibat Season Three - Preview

by Dulles Washington | 15th March 600

The MBC were typically disorganised last season and somehow the Mareibat Premier never occurred. Not to worry, as it returns this year, with Halholzer United once again overwhelming favourites to win yet another title. Bellight FC have added a few additional players to their squad, although the loss of Richard Armada to Valladares will be a big loss for them. They do, however, retain hopes of becoming the second team in the league to be fully professional next season and pip Harmonica Tundra to that in the process. From the rest of the pack, Teol United, Pilgrimage and Cape of Hope FC look the best positioned to nab a Globe Cup place. At the bottom of the table, Halholzer Spitfires continue to look as dreadful as the clubs ability to function properly, even behind traditional minnows Scraglet Rover and Arbour Lights FC.

Talking Point: Exton go out of the Globe Cup in a blaze of fire. Tolgus Tregajorran has certainly got his team motivated this season, and hopes are high after convincing early performances against Westpark Guns of Tinhampton, Jhon Mercurier scoring both goals in the second game to keep things interesting, Tregajorran evidently delighted by the performances of the player he's taken most under his tutelage. However, against Consacres of the entirely unknown Côte d’Saphir, things fall apart in a way which looks like might happen regularly this season. In the home leg, the Southern Castles look a bit flat and concede unfortunately late on, Lemuel Bereket making a rare error. In the second leg, with Bereket benched for Ben Cole, things are even more disastrous, the team falling apart and openly squabbling. They concede twice early on and are simply unable to recover the three goals needed to progress, despite the best efforts of Mercurier who again scores.

Talking Point: Revamped Brimstone hand the champions a disappointing start. Chris Orani was handed a big fat case of money in the offseason and instructed to spend it on anything that moves. Which he promptly does so. However, it appears to pay off as Brimstone play well against a Barbury side who don't quite look on form yet, those new signings helping out a great deal - Egyed Váradi laying the ball back to Isadora Bloodsworth to score the opener past a stunned Admiral Falcon, before Geoffrey Klingenberg looks to prove he was worth the 15 million spent on him by scoring an absolute thunderbastard to seal the win.

Talking Point: The Auld Classic doesn't disappoint. The first Auld Classic of the season, traditionally the biggest game in Apox between Dwile Warriors and Gwinevra Barbarians takes place at the APX Sports Stadium and while Dwile have looked a little wobbly at times this season, they looked nothing of the sort in this game, Marcy Blake-Tatum in particular looking really fired up and ready to take the fight to the opposition, finding space between Liam Dosic and Wes Kolo to score in the fifth minute before an Isidra Jeurissen free-kick doubles Dwile's lead. Archibald Koyaanisqatsi uses his raw power to score a thunderbastard in the twentieth minute, but Dwile's lead isn't cut for long and they score again six minutes later through Kel Koromin. The victory is fully secured in the second half, as Liam Dosic caps a game to forget with his attempted clearance going into his own net.

Talking Point: Mulhampstead look really poor. Will Hewitt already finds himself under pressure as his porous side is the only one yet to pick up a point this season, haemorraging goals as a rate of more than three a game. In this run are games they would have really hoped to have been more competitive in and losses to FC Harpoon and Egloskerry will really sting. Hewitt has announced that he is making a raft of changes in the next match, as well as switching up things on the training ground. Mulhampstead were always going to struggle a bit this season, but so far they've been way off the mark.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors under pressure. The Warriors have had a poor start to their season as pressure builds on manager Moon Dust to turn things around at the club. Despite spending a fair bit of money on the squad and having a number of brilliant players in the team, the Warriors have so far only managed to win in the Auld Classic this season - a morale boosting win but not enough so far and certainly not good enough for a team hoping to challenge for the title this season. Luckily, they are not alone with results being fairly well distributed this season and a number of big clubs struggling so far. However, with the long trophy drought the club are now in, instant improvement must be seen or it may be the managers head.

Talking Point: The early rounds of the Marshall Cup continue to entertain. The qualifying round of the Marshall Cup gives some minnows a time in the sun and they've certainly not disappointed so far. The students at Metropolitan University Dwile travelled to Brimstone although the journey hasn't seemed to have affected them as they paste the cities second team 7-0. Elsewhere, former ANL team Atletico Standard lose on penalties to another team of students, this time hailing from Barbury Crown University. Wofford's second team, the more carefully managed City beat out Bolventor to progress while in the "Nepharim inspired name" derby, Martell Zenith beat out the Mariners from Barclay.

Talking Point: First sacking of the season. With Dwile Warriors boasting a grand total of just one win so far this season, the board have decided to act to counteract this worrying slide and have sacked Moon Dust as manager, following on from the teams limp loss to Wye last game. There is a bit of a dearth of top quality managers in the ANL at the moment who might be tempted away, with Ponting Glamorgan at Wye and Sto Southwold at Mechanical currently linked to the job - perhaps only on a temporary basis. Whatever happens, they will need to turn things around quickly as the current situation is not acceptable for the club.

Talking Point: Mechanical continue their excellent start to the season by beating out the Knights in the Oldem derby. It is as fiery as usual, with Brayden Custworth scoring early but Alexsandr Denisov cancels out the advantage in the 15th minute. However, a large brawl in the 22nd minute, which ends up including both managers and a number of players leads to a lengthy delay in play, with Arthur Jakkar and Zebulon Rusch eventually receiving reds and Axe the Dominant also being sent to the stands for his role in the fracas. This really blows the wind out of the Knights sails and they eventually lose 3-1.

Talking Point: Slight uptick in form for Dwile. After appointing Wye United boss Ponting Glamorgan on a contract until the end of the season (with potential for extensions if she does well), Dwile have taken four points from a possible six, although an entertaining 3-3 draw against Mechanical is not somewhere where the club can be affording to lose points. Marcy Blake-Tatum continues to lead the line well and Kel Koromin has good experience up front, even if he is no longer a starter due to his age. In fact, it's at the back where difficulties arise, with the 3-5-2 formation they employ needing fast and experienced centre-backs. Eurwen Raynerson and Etzy Dialogue are old and slow, and Lexus Garrison is still learning in his first season as a Dwile starter. This is probably compounded by the clubs scattergun recruitment policy which saw them pick up two left backs - both of whom are probably playing more attacking roles than they are comfortable with - and not sign anyone new in the centre of defense and up front, the two areas where they could have done with improvement.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour are quietly being excellent. Reinhard Shale has been quietly shoring up the defense and allowing his players to play more expressive football and the contrast between how the team are performing now and at the end of Kjn Volgisrhaad's chaotic reign could not be clearer. And it shows, as they have quietly hoisted themselves into the top spot in the league after eight matches have been played, as well as guiding them safely through the early Marshall Cup rounds. Alpha Gandhi has done well up front and Lewis Phoenix looks poised to be a big name at the club in the future in the games he's featured in so far - fears of the team falling apart upfront after Winston Arrowsmith's departure very much unfounded then. However, the league table is exceptionally tight at the moment, although a string of good results could see them rise above the rest and hold a commanding lead at the top.

Talking Point: Wye United seem to be doing just fine. Despite having their logn term manager prised away by a big name job at Dwile, Wye don't seem to have suffered for it, and indeed they currently sit above Dwile in the table. They've brought in Centre for Excellence coach Jack Ohanna as their head coach and he seems to have adapted to the job well, bringing on the development of Alice Montfort-Columbo who seems to be displacing the ageing Ioghan Maverick as the teams primary goalscoring threat up front. He seems to have bought into the long standing team ethos at Wye, which has netted them a lot of success over the years despite always having a moderate budget and a team usually not full of big names. With the table as tight as it is this year, the Lads remain very much in contention for UICA places with a third of the season played.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors on the march. New boss Ponting Glamorgan seems to be enjoying quite the new manager bounce despite many claiming she'd be getting a nose bleed at this level. In fact, her new team are unbeaten in the five games they've played under her, winning four and drawing once, including a big win over fierce rivals FC Endeavour in the league and beating Ephesian FC in the Globe Cup group stage. Marcy Blake-Tatum continues to play well for the side and she has evolved into a pivotal player for them in the last season or so due to Kel Koromin fading somewhat with age. Despite being eighth currently in the table, the truth is they are just three points off Barbury at the summit and it's very much all still to play for after a turbulent start to the season.

The 599/600 ACCT Season is wrapped up.

by Charles Fotheringham | 19th September 600

Team            P  W  D  L  BP  Pts
Mountainshire  18  9  6  3  50  158
Olfa           18 10  1  7  49  152
Gwinshire      18  9  3  6  41  140
Old Guard      18  7  6  5  38  126
Plains         18  7  5  6  37  122
Dwile          18  6  6  6  40  118
The Broads     18  6  6  6  30  108
Border         18  4  6  8  35   93
Oxshottshire   18  4  5  9  37   92
Flembardshire  18  3  6  9  40   88


Mountainshire claim their fourth ACCT trophy as they remain the dominant force in Apoxian domestic cricket, with Gwinshire and Old Guard both finishing in the play-off spots for the season season in a row. For the holders, Oxshottshire, this season represented rather a fall from grace, with a strong first half of the season gave way to a disastrous second half and they end up finishing second bottom. For last season's second bottom team, Olfa, this season was a marked improvement and they spent quite a spell at the top of the table before being overhauled by Mountainshire. With a definite increase in the number of bonus points this season, and in continued attempts to avoid merely "raising the floor" with the bonus point allocations, the board are likely to make it a little harder to achieve bonus points next season. However, the allocation of bonus points used in this season was:

300 in an innings - 1 point
400 in an innings - 2 points
500+ in an innings - 3 points
Side dismissed in 60 overs (either innings) - 1 point
Side dismissed in 40 overs (either innings) - 2 points
First-innings lead of 200 or greater – 1 point
Win by 10 wickets - 1 point
Win by 200 runs or greater - 1 point
Win by an innings – 2 points

On the Fluctuating Crowd Sizes in Apox

by Clement Ashley | 12th February 602

Image
The home crowd during an Uxminster Athletic home game in the 601 season.


We live in an interesting time for domestic Apoxian football. Things are, by and large, recovering from the hiatus which wreaked havoc on the domestic game in the country. Top ANL clubs are thriving once more, and beginning to compete at the top echelons of international football once again. However, this growth and improvement is not shared universally around the country. Are some clubs struggling with the pressure.

Take Uxminster Athletic. A middling team, classically flitting between the top tier and the ANL2 below, they've certainly achieved some success in recent years (somehow marching to a Marshall Cup victory in the 601 season springs to mind). However, Apox's most seaside resort town has been struggling to fill the 18,000 all seater Beachfront Close ground in recent years, averaging just over 10,000 supporters all season, this response baffling many officials at the club. An average season ticket at the club costs §700 - by no means a massive amount for a country where the average pay packet is §35,000, with the avrage wage around Uxminster being higher at §42,000.

I spoke to first team manager Roy Tobin, who was bullish on the situation at the club, stating that, "the crowd size we draw is dependent on the success of the team. We have very passionate fans here in the south and I feel proud to represent the club as their manager. My main aim is to focus on organising a team to get back into the ANL, and I'm sure the crowds will pick up as a result." However, other figures at the club have stated slight concerns at the lower numbers of fans attending the game. Bryce Coln, the sporting director at the club he this to say: "The size of the crowd we can expect to see on any given matchday has remained steady at around 10,000 since the end of the hiatus - it is troubling yes, but not an anomaly seen elsewhere in Apox".

He'd be correct there - other teams have also struggled to fill their stadiums, with Urbanista Trojans and Urbanista Young Boys - sharing Drivers Close in the city almost never filling it to capacity and often attracting crowds less than half of the 19,000 capacity of the stadium. Other "second" teams in cities, such as Gwinevra Bulls and Egloskerry have also struggled, though in Egloskerry's case this may be in part due to chronic mismanagement both on and off the pitch. The most striking example of this happening though is FC Harpoon, the club from Cawln playing in the gigantic Celebratory Stadium - originally built to host World Cup 69 and attracting criticism at the time for being a 45,000 stadium in a city of only 42,000 occupants, especially with the longer established Cawln Wanderers also in the city. The city has since grown to be just shy of 60,000 people, but Harpoon have always struggled to even half fill their ground and even played a number of matches at the much more modest City Ground last season - a ground with a capacity of just 8,000 - usually the home of Cawln Wanderers. With Harpoon back in the ANL last season, there are hopes that things can pick up, although manager Nelson Horatio has voiced concerns, at a press conference saying "this club simply doesn't have the resources long term to stay in the Celebratory Stadium. We are currently investigating other options, but at this moment moving to an expanded City Ground looks the most promising".

It is not bleak reading for everyone though. Wofford Town, now established as a top flight presence and with a sold out stadium every week are currently undergoing a complete rebuild of their 24,000 Ground of Champions. Originally built as a temporary structure, few could've predicted how well the new city would do. They will play their home games next season at the tiny Wofford Athletics Centre before moving into the rebuild Ground of Champions for the 603 season - with the new state of the art stadium holding 33,000 people then. FC Endeavour have also upgraded the Garganaut in the off season, bringing it's capacity to 50,000, making it the joint second biggest domestic stadium in the country behind Dwile Warriors. Further down the leagues as well, the improving and rebranded Barbury Fjellravens have made improvements to their tiny stadium, bringing it to a capacity of 7,000 - they hope to get into and establish themselves in the second tier in the near future, with a view to becoming an ANL club soon.

This is a clear indication of the flowing dynamics and interests in specific football clubs throughout the nation though - although the biggest teams still remain the most attracive place to go to watch top quality football.

Talking Point: FC Brimstone are in trouble. Chris Orani is on very thin ice indeed at the moment. So far this season, his team have averaged half a point a game, picking up points fully half as quickly as Mulhampstead above them. When you compare the quality throughout the team to many of those above them - Mulhamptead, FC Harpoon, Egloskerry - there really is no comparison. After the last game, Orani received the dreaded vote of confidence in him by the board - showing that unless there is a dramatic improvement very soon, he will be gone. However, there is hope for them. Wofford Town had been in a similar position until just a couple of matches ago. Now they've found some form and are properly back in the midtable mixer. Orani must hope his Brimstone team find similar form very soon.

Talking Point: The UICA Group Stages are done. And it is a good set of results for all Apoxian clubs partaking, with all progressing from their respective groups to the next round of competition. Barbury Town finishing second is particularly impressive considering the very difficult group they found themselves in, finishing above Hondo FC and Mâ Âlâmëómë is no mean feat indeed. Dwile Warriors finish second to the impressive Qusmi outfit of Poldanz, while Gwinevra Barbarians top their group beating a number of strong sides to the finish, even if Ulsa aren't quite the powerhouse they once were.

Talking Point: Noel Amundsen doing an incredible job at Urbanista. Few would have predicted a good season for Urbanista this time around - they have a good squad on paper, but one which many thought wouldn't be anywhere near the very best sides. However, Amundsen has imbued a real team spirit in the side, and they are currently only stopped from being the top side in Apox by goal difference, with the remarkable turnaround of Dwile Warriors holding them off. While praise must be given to the attack - Jon Fossum has leaped forward in terms of his development this season - the real strength of this team is in their defense. They've only lost once all season, the lowest amount, and this has given them a firm foundation to build off, with strong performers in Ayrton Fox, Marcus Gallegos and Ermenegildo Urriza.

Talking Point: Gwinevra are in a rut. It is not the best time to be a Gwinevra fan at the moment. The club have been transformed under Chris Maarsden's leadership - going from a sleeping giant struggling to assert themselves at the highest level to arguably the best club in the nation under his time as manager. However, they've struggled to click this season, and two 0-0 draws in a row against bottom of the table Brimstone and the fading Wye are not what they need right now. They've got one of the best defenses in the league still - as shown by them conceding the second least number of goals so far, but with just seventeen goals scored there is trouble up front. Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval and Archibald Koyaanisqatsi have looked tired in the first half of the season and have been unable to provide their usual spark, while Eneka Hexmark has looked a little past it so far this season, and is in fierce competition for her place against the young and vibrant Harlem Saxstrom. However, you only need to look at Dwile to know that it is very close indeed this season, and their fortunes could change at a moments notice.

Talking Point: Axe the Dominant wobbles precariously. Despite many years of talking the talking, Axe the Dominant has, by all accounts, failed to walk the walk. Oldem Knights were promised a vision of competing with the "Big Three" in the league. Instead, they've failed to qualify for UICA every season and watched Barbury Town upset the applecart and bag an ANL title of their own. It's not as if the board haven't funded Axe in the transfer market either, and they have a decent squad - certainly as good as or even better than Exton and Wrexton in third and fourth currently anyway. The Knights languish in 11th instead, in serious danger of being dragged into the relegation zone and while no one is suggesting they might go down this season, so far it is shaping up to be another disappointing one and Axe the Dominant is by most people's money the most likely to next, well, be axed as a manager in the ANL.

Talking Point: Egloskerry might have run out of luck. Egloskerry have been one of those teams who you've always looked at, and thought "how the hell are they still here?". Ever since the heady days of the Rohan Cammers player/manager/dictator (the same Cammers that has somehow just won the Galacticos manager of the season award?!), they've revelled in playing dirty, angry, anti-football. Stick a big man up front with some even bigger geezers behind them and smash heads on tables. It... has not been attractive football to say the least. And yet, they've always somehow got away with it. However, their luck may have finally run out and they've been sliding down the table for week and are now one of the more likely teams to go down, even more so than Brimstone below them who have been playing well in recent weeks. Sunbar McCoy looks like he's lost control over his players most matches and a number of them look like they've stopped caring. However, problems run so deep at the club that even if they sacked him, would it make any difference?

Talking Point: Skibbereen United are tearing up the third tier. So far this season, in most of the top tiers, everything is very close and everything is very much still to play for as we go into the second half of the season. Down at the top of the third tier though, Skibbereen United continue their good rise through the Apoxian league pyramid, thanks largely to highly rated Mareibatian striker Mubaaraka Durtch, who is going at a goal a game this season, and is already picking up links to top tier sides - regardless of whether Skibbereen can hold on for promotion or not.

Talking Point: Axe gets Axed. Well, it isn't particularly unexpected, but with the Knights still floundering around in midtable, Axe the Dominant has been handed his marching orders by the board, after years of big hype and no trophies. His replacement is something of a coup for the side - Kjn Volgisrhaad is a big figure, literally as well as metaphorically standing at seven feet tall, and he will be eager to get back into action having been without a job since leaving Endeavour in the off season. He has the winning mentality and has won trophies both as a player and manager, and the board will be hoping he can imbue some of the squad with some magic gold dust. Unless, in classic Knights form, things lurch from one minor crisis to another, which is almost guaranteed.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour keep pace with Dwile and Barbury at the top, beating Gwinevra Barbarians in a key match and handing the struggling Barbarians yet another blow. The game kicked off with the usual intensity and Alpha Gandhi continued his good run of form by opening the scoring. However, the Barbarians were able to ease into the game, exposing Endeavour's defensive frailties well, and after good, powerful efforts by Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval and Archibald Koyaanisqatsi, found themselves in the lead. It looked very much like that was how the game would end, but a triple change by Reinhard Shale after eighty minutes of play turned out to be the changing point. In particular, Euran striker Lewis Phoenix was the star, causing all sorts of trouble to the previously settled looking Gwienvra defense, scoring an equaliser with two minutes to go by heading in Brady D'Etcheverry's angled through-ball before doing it himself, in the process leaving Isidra Belgrave in the dust, to score the winner in the second minute of injury time.

Lower Leagues
The second tier is similarly very close with two-thirds of the season played. Royal Issington are at the moment top, as they bid for a return to the top tier, their performance so far based on an ability to blow away teams, Alessandro Delvecchio setting up his team to power through all opposing teams, a fact backed up by the stat of only three league losses all season. Calshott Lighthouse behind them are bidding for an immediate return to the ANL, while Azewyn Royals under long term manager Keri Ularu are still very much in the mix to finally break out of the second tier and ascend to the highest level of Apoxian football after many yers of threatening to. Issington F.C languish in twelfth, a sorry state of affairs from a club which once sat on top of the pile (admittedly a very long time ago now), new manager Olivier Gardet failing to inspire an admittedly average looking group of players to better things. The loss of Pluto Blinkman to Mytanija really was a big one for them.

Barbury Fjellravens have been pursuing a very "all-or-nothing" approach to life in the second tier this season, taking part in a number of entertaining games: a 7-2 dismantling of Beowulf FC on Matchday 3; a 5-4 victory over Cawln Wanderers in Matchday 6; a 3-5 loss to Issington F.C on Matchday 8 and a 6-4 loss to Royal Issington on Matchday 11 just a small subsection of the carnage they've inflicted on the league so far this season. Erwan Salter in particular seems to have settled into life in the second tier particularly well. Glancing down to the bottom of the table, Beowulf FC have looked truly dreadful all season - unable to score, unable to defend really, they are 12 points from safety with ten games to play and are all but down. Urbanista Young Boys seem to have gone a bit adrift as well, but if they can make some ground up on the teams above them then anyone from the Fjellravens in tenth could find themselves stuck in a bit of a relegation battle.

It's impossible to look past Skibbereen United as winning the third tier at the moment, they have been absolute dominant thus far this season and currently enjoy an eleven point advantage over Dwile Warriors Youth in second. Other than that the rest of the division remains fairly close together, and there is plenty that can change with thirty points still to play for. For the youthful Warriors, the third tier is their ceiling anyway, with youth teams barred from competing in the top two tiers of Apoxian football, meaning Skibbereen's distance from teams who could also be promoted is actually a very healthy 13 points indeed. There are a number of teams in the mixer for play-off places though, with Etchilhampton, Barrabrook and Tuffield all in pole position at the moment. All three of those teams have had meteoric rises through the Apoxian league system in recent years, and so the prospect of playing in the second tier is very exciting for all, although it would require converting to professional status for both Tuffield and Etchilhampton. At the bottom, the highly fancied Wallwatch FC are not doing so well this season, a shame, while the ultra-aggressive Avenida Apox are also in the relegation play-offs, financial irregularities causing havoc both off and on the field. A drop down a tier would leave them in perilous financial straits indeed.

Talking Point: Wrexton doing well. They've gone pretty unnoticed throughout much of the season, but it is certainly worth mentioning how well Wrexton have been doing so far this season under Ásbjörn Tachibana, the Falcus national pushing a avery average-to-poor squad into UICA contention, even at this stage of the season. They've played compact, counter-attacking football, beating Wofford one-nil on the break and only narrowly losing to a more talented Urbanista side in the last couple of games. Tachibana has managed to revive the careers of the front three of Dyer, Daniels and Graham, and so far they've looked very menacing all season.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors are on the march. What a turnaround Ponting Glamorgan has seen at Dwile since she took over there, sorting out their defensive issues while not taking away from their attacking abilities. And it's shown, the team outscoring second placed FC Endeavour by thirteen goals. This has largely been driven by Marcy Blake-Tatum, who has been on fire in goalscoring terms, making up for the slow down by the ageing Kel Koromin. All this combined sees them have a four point cushion over Endeavour with just six games still to play. This is the closest they've been to a title post-hiatus, the fans will be praying they don't mess it up.

Talking Point: Even though it's highly unlikely he'll still be there next season, Chris Orani has managed to guide FC Brimstone out of the relegation zone, for the first time in forever. They've noticeably tightened up defensively in recent weeks, and combining that with a slightly higher scoring rate, they've now gone above FC Harpoon on goal difference, crucially above the relegation zone. It's hard to work out exactly where they've gone so wrong this season - the squad isn't bad and Chris Orani is a manager who has achieved good things with Egloskerry before now - just look at where they are now that he's gone. However, he just hasn't been able to click with this set of players, and after the board threw money around in a big way in the off season, spending the entire season in a relegation battle is not what they had in mind.

Talking Point: Gwinevra managing to turn their season around. Gwinevra really struggled in the middle part of the season, and were some way off the UICA places at one point. However, Chris Maarsden has rallied the troops, and squandering a 2-0 lead to Wrexton F.C aside, they've been steadily picking up points. At the moment it looks like its going to be a four way fight for the final two Globe Cup spots, between them, Exton, Urbanista and Wrexton, but Gwinevra have the most experience and the best squad out of the lot and so should be alright in the end.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors have won the 602 season Apox National League! In a dramatic turnaround over the course of the season, where they started off terribly and ended up sacking long time manager Moon Dust, the Warriors have finally claimed that elusive 8th ANL title that they've been searching for since the return of the ANL from hiatus. Powered on by the incredible form of almost certain League Top Scorer Marcy Blake-Tatum and a host of players having brilliant seasons behind her such as Cassiopeia Quintero, Jayden Fox, Nick James and Eurwen Raynerson, the team have really turned around their ailing season and smashed a title victory.


ANL2 & ANL3 will be discussed more in the next post.

Season 28 - Part Four


Right, the final day of the season. The Warriors have clinched their 8th ANL title, while the UICA places are decided, although the final finishing positions of the Globe Cup spots is still to be finalised. Down the bottom, Egloskerry and FC Harpoon are currently in the relegation zone, although FC Brimstone and in theory Oldem Mechanical could still go down. The lower tiers are somewhat more exciting. Skjoll Premier currently sit atop the table on 53 point, although Calshott Lighthouse, Azewyn Royals and Uxminster Athletic could all seize the title from them on the final day. Uxminster Athletic could also lose their final play-off place if Mandon United or Royal Issington can better their result. At the bottom of the ANL2, Beowulf FC are long relegated, fully on half the points of second bottom, and one of Barbury Fjellravens, Gwinevra Bulls and Urbanista Young Boys will join them in the third tier next season. Finally, glancing down to the ANL3, Skibbereen United are safely top of the table and promoted, thanks to Dwile Warriors Youths currently sitting in second. With both Dwile Warriors Youth and Centre for Excellence in the play-off spots but unable to be promoted, the picture gets more complicated as to who will be joining Skibbereen in going up to the ANL2 next season.

Live Updates
0': We are underway across the nation! Still lots to play for, though the most exciting events are the relegation battle in the ANL and the battle for promotion at the congested top of the second tier.
1': Skjoll Premier currently hold a slim advantage in the second tier - thanks largely to former ANL heavyweight Blodeuwedd Conmara smashing in goals for them all season - she's still got it, even at 35.
2': GOAL. GWBu 0-1 RIS. Royal Issington move up to 4th and currently in the play-off spaces with an early goal at The Olympia Oval, Leo Raven's cut back to Mylene Dekker whistling past Jerome Ofgartner in the Bulls goal.
3': Behind the Premier, are long term promotion contenders Azewyn Royals and a Calshott Lighthouse side hoping for immediate promotion back to the ANL. Both teams look quite set up to survive in the top tier next season, but at the moment will have to go through the tribulations of the play-offs to get there.
4': GOAL. GWBa 1-0 WYE. The Barbarians are on song today, and have started very brightly in front of a capacity home ground. It is Llorent Llangolan who is opening the scoring for the side, and they are up to third.
5': GOAL. FCH 1-0 DWW. Big early goal at the Celebratory Stadium (which incidentally is the last game for Harpoon at the Celebratory stadium, it is just too big for a club their size). Fabian Memphis knocks the ball forward and Meghan Rasmussen is there to head it past Oriana Durrell in goal. Harpoon move out of the relegation zone.
6': Egloskerry have been utter dross for about three-quarters of this season - it's only a relatively good start which means they're still in touching distance of safety. Still nil-all at the Eggcentric arena, is this finally the end of Egloskerry's most recent stay in the top tier?
7': GOAL. BAF 1-0 URC. The Fjellravens have never struggled with scoring this season - but their defense has been just as leaky which has led them to still being in trouble at the end of the season. It is Erwan Salter for a scarcely believable 27th goal of the season, and they move out of the relegation zone, Urbanista Young Boys dropping in instead.
8': GOAL. AVA 1-0 DWY. Avenida Apox take the lead in the ANL3 against the Warriors youth team.
9': It remains goalless so far in Wrexton, with Brimstone needing a result there to ensure they stay up, especially with Harpoon currently beating the Warriors at home.
10': It's also goalless in Wofford, and while Wofford are safe and Endeavour are guaranteed Globe Cup football, a win for Endeavour here would ensure they have less preliminary rounds to jump through next season.
11': PEN. It could be getting exciting in Cawln, as FC Harpoon have been awarded a penalty! Lexus Garrison brings down Bjarkin Goring in the area, with an overeager challenge on the sturdy Harpoon player. No card for Garrison, but an opportunity for Harpoon to go 2-0 up...
12': GOAL. FCH 2-0 DWW. Which they duly do, Goring slotting past Durrell coolly. Brimstone could be in serious trouble here.
13': GOAL. BOU 1-0 ETC. AVA 2-0 DWY. Couple of goals going in in the ANL3. Bouldertown keep the play-off race alive scoring past currently 6th Etchilhampton, while Avenida Apox put another past the Youth from Dwile.
14': Urbanista vs Mulhampstead has looked incredibly turgid so far. Urbanista have done well this season, but have let too many teams into games, upping their number of draws to never before seen levels. If they can cut that out next season, they could be a real force. Mulhampstead however, will be very pleased to have ensured survival for another season.
15': Oldem Mechanical have looked content to sit off the ball at the moment and soak up pressure against Barbury Town. However, they will want something from this game to guarantee survival for them, especially with Harpoon currently beating Dwile.
16': GOAL. CAW 1-0 SKJ. That is a pivotal moment! Cawln Wanderers slip the ball in the back of the net in a scruffy bit of play, meaning three times sit even on 53 points at the top of the ANL2 at the moment. Skjoll are still top of goal difference, but it is intensely close at the minute.
17': Calshott Lighthouseare peppering the Urbanista Trojans goal with shots, but still can't find a way through. 0-0 it remains there.
18': GOAL. AFC 0-1 EXT. Tolgus Tregajorran has just run a large length of touchline, bear hugging protege Jhon Mercurier at the end after he slots one past Corina Barrow in Cierbanor's goal. Exton go back into third with that - what a remarkable effect Tregajorran has had on the club as they are set to get UICA football for the second season in a row.
19': FC Brimstone are looking a lot more potent against Wrexton, Justinian Hargrave makes a good double save to deny Brimstone a key goal. Brimstone still relegated as things stand.
20': GOAL. EGL 0-1 ODK. Eri Raajimakers scores on the break for Oldem, Egloskerry have continued to look largely terrible and will definitely be going down as things stand. Oldem are up to 8th with that goal, much better from them in the closing stages of the season under Kjn Volgisrhaad's managment.
21': GOAL. WAL 1-0 MON. Wallwatch score in the third tier, a close game against Mona A.F.C with both teams lurking just above the relegation zone. They will probably both be safe, but a win for either one of them would confirm it.
22': Dwile Warriors are piling the pressure on at the Celebratory Stadium, the champions elect wanting to finish on a high. Harpoon's defense has been very suspect all season. They will need to score more if they want to take anything from this game.
23': Azewyn Royals have also been looking very threatening against Uxminster Athletic. At the moment, they are sitting 3rd and 4th respectively in the ANL2 but neither will be particularly happy with the uncertainty of a draw.
24': GOAL. GWBa 2-0 WYE. A second goal for Gwinevra! Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval gets one now, picking the ball up from Eneka Hexmark just outside the box. She's been on good form this season, but won't be getting the Top Scorer award this season, that accalade will go to...
25': GOAL. FCH 2-1 DWW. Marcy Blake-Tatum, who scores her 22nd of the season there, exposing the fragile back line of Harpoon to score.
26': GOAL. AVA 2-1 DWY. The Youth team of the champions get one back against Avenida Apox. As things stand they will still be second in the ANL3.
27': Things are getting messy at the Eggcentric arena now as Egloskerry - not for the first time this season - show a lack of discipline in the side. Infighting and lack of coherency shows up once again.
28': Beowulf FC are labouring against Urbanista Young Boys at the moment. The two teams are currently in the relegation zone, and while Beowulf are very much down, the Young Boys have it all to play for. They are knocking on the door.
29': The Fjellravens, who are also in the relegation battle, are also all over Urchfont. They've only got one goal at the moment, but it does feel a lot like more might be on the way.
30': Phew. A lot going on. One third of the final set of games over, two more to go. Onwards!
31': GOAL. GWBa 3-0 WYE. Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval gets a second as this is turning into a bit of a rout. Wye are crumbling a bit under intense pressure from the highly motivated Barbarians side. There are suggestions that Chris Maarsden might step down at Gwinevra in the off season - feeling like he's done as much as he can with the side. If so, they will definitely want to see out his tenure at the club with a big, positive score.
32': GOAL. BAF 2-0 URC. The Fjellravens putting more space between them and the relegation zone, Katrina O'Leary scoring to keep improve their goal differential this game.
34': Close from Zachary Brooks of Calshott Lighthouse there, his shot on the Trojans goal just being pushed wide.
35': GOAL. GWBu 1-1 RIS. Gwinevra Bulls have a goal! A crucial goal which would give them a crucial point if things finished as it stands.
36': And now Clarence Beeftank has been sent off for Egloskerry after nutting Jack Wine. If, and more likely when, Egloskerry are relegated, it is unlikely her loan move to the club will become permanent. Has she now played her last for the club?
37': GOAL. ODM 1-1 BAR. Barbury Town have not a great deal to play for, safely ensconced in second. That doesn't stop Jarl Magarhatery, who has had an excellent season again, from bagging himself one though.
39': GOAL. AZE 1-0 UXM. THAT IS POTENTIALLY VERY BIG! Azewyn Royals move into first in the ANL2 there, Brian Saltet chipping the ball over the head of Dudabulatula in goal. The word filters round the stadiums in the other promotion chasing games. Azewyn have laid down the gauntlet, how will the others respond?
40': Skjoll Premier nearly immediately respond with a goal of their own, only for the shot to take a minor deflection, sending it narrowly over the bar.
41': GOAL. EGL 0-2 ODK. Oldem have a second goal against ten man Egloskerry, Jack Jevđenijević continuing his fine season to bag his 14th goal.
42': FC Harpoon are looking increasingly fragile at the back. Half-time can't come soon enough for them.
43': While FC Brimstone will probably be cursing it, as it gives time for Wrexton F.C to regroup. They've been struggling under building pressure from the industrial side.
45': And that's it. First half over. As things stand, Azewyn Royals will be automatically promoted to the ANL2, while Egloskerry and FC Brimstone are going down. In the relegation zone for the ANL2, Urbanista Young Boys will be joining Beowulf FC in the ANL3 next season.

46': And things are underway again, just 45 minutes left of regular time in the 602 Apoxian football season.
47': And the pressure is straight back on FC Harpoon, Jeff Baldwin just pulled off something of a wondersave there to stop Enzo Garner's shot from going in.
48': GOAL. BAF 3-0 URC. The Fjellravens continue to steamroll Urchfont, Erwan Salter getting his 28th goal of the season.
49': GOAL. URB 1-0 MUL. After a bit of a boring first half, Urbanista have clearly had a bit of a rollicking in the half-time team talk, and they come out a renewed force. Iman Rush with the goal.
50': Calshott Lighthouse are still looking for the goal which could take them top of the table, and already Britannia Huff is making a substitution, trying to find a way in.
51': GOAL. GWBu 2-1 RIS. And now the Bulls take the lead against Royal Issington, cutting Issington further adrift in the play-off race and keeping the Bulls safely out of the relegation zone.
52': Tolgus Tregajorran is just an absolute stormer of a human. He was an excellent player, and he is excellently entertaining as a manager. He's pretty good as a manager, sure, but his gesticulating in the technical area is quite something. Jhon Mercurier misses a shot on goal and in the ensuing carnage on the touchline, Tregajorran somehow manages to take off his jacket from his arm waving and shouting.
53': GOAL. URB 2-0 MUL. Urbanista are really getting going now, Erhan Gracie crossing a ball in for Ettie Hezekiah to head home for their second of the game.
54': GOAL. FCH 2-2 DWW. Cassiopeia gets her 11th goal of the season, dancing past challenges by Hedwig Schelin and Edmund Autumn before powering one past Baldwin in goal. Harpoon slip back into the relegation zone with that goal. What's more, it doesn't look like it is going to be Dwile's last goal of the game...
55': Azewyn Royals just had a bit of a scare there, Uxminster Athletic now pressing hard. They will need something from this game to stay in the ANL Play-off positions.
56': GOAL. AVA 3-1 DWY. BAF 4-0 URC. Two aggressively minded teams increasing their goal hauls.
57': Wofford Town vs FC Endeavour has got pretty bogged down in a midfield battle, with the skilful personnel of Endeavour unable to find a way through. With Endeavour now down in fifth, Reinhard Shale doesn't look pleased on the touchline.
59': GOAL. WIT 0-1 MAN. Mandon United score thanks to Jokin Mork's converted penalty. They now move up to 4th, and into the ANL play-off places. Nelson Horatio looks pleased as punch on the sidelines.
60': Dwile Warriors continue to batter the Harpoon goal and Harpoon have had to resort to just bringing down the Warriors players to stop attacks. Even with foul rotation, they are running out of yellow cards that can be handed out.
61': Close yet again from Urbanista Young Boys. Surely a goal can't be far away?
62': GOAL. BOU 2-0 ETC. BAF 5-0 URC. Bouldertown increase their advantage over Etchilhampton, while Barbury Fjellraven's continue to stick the boot into Urchfont Aggressors. They must be safe in the ANL2 by now.
63': Brimstone come close yet again against Wrexton F.C somehow keep them out. They are safe at the moment, but a no score draw is not a comfortable place to be.
64': GOAL. WRX 1-0 FCB. SPOKE TOO SOON! Wrexton score against the run of play, Artemis Kyser unleashing Avington Daniels on the counter, he squares to Skye Dyer and she slots past the now out of position Joaquin Doyle to score. Now Brimstone slip back into the relegation zone!
65': GOAL. FCH 2-3 DWW. AFC 1-1 EXT. Oh, but Dwile Warriors score a third, this time Nick James the scorer! This puts Harpoon back in the relegation zone! (And AFC United of Cierbanor score an equaliser, but we don't massively care about that).
66': Meanwhile, in Wofford, a fox has gotten onto the field at the tiny Wofford Athletics Centre they play on whilst their main stadium is being rebuilt. Yes, it's been that sort of game.
68': Changes happening across all the leagues, especially in Cawln. We are beginning to enter the end game on a very entertaining day, although there may yet be more surprises.
69': Egloskerry are down to 9 players left on the field now, with James West losing his head and having an expletive filled rant at the ref. Probably the last time he'll be playing in the top tier for a while though, so you can see why he's frustrated.
70': GOAL. CAW 1-1 SKJ. It's not over yet for Skjoll, as they drag one back against the Wanderers. They've still surrendered the top spot to Azewyn, but another goal and they'll clinch the title.
71': GOAL. BEO 0-1 URY. Urbanista Young Boys finally have their goal - the big surprise is just that it took 71 minutes to get it. This shuffles Gwinevra Bulls into the ANL2 relegation zone, after the heroics of the Fjellravens in getting 5 goals in their game.
72': There is definitely a bit of a frantic air in a number of games by now. Things are delicately poised.
73': GOAL. ODM 2-1 BAR. In a most relaxed ground to be in, Joan Vickers has just scored for Oldem Mechanical, keeping them nicely at arms length from the chaos of the relegation battle below.
74': GOAL. CAL 1-0 URBt. Calshott finally have their goal! This puts them top of the ANL2. Larissa Vilhajalmsson scores coolly past the keeper to give them the crucial difference. Azewyn Royals will now have to score a bucketload to retake the lead, though Skjoll Premier can go clear at the top if they can find a winner against Cawln Wanderers.
75': GOAL. ODM 2-2 BAR. AVA 4-1 DWY. A couple of other games get some more goals, Aldo Vocani bagging his seventeenth of the season, a record for him, while Avenida Apox get their fourth.
76': The pressure is back on at Azewyn, a couple of substitutions sees them playing a super aggressive 3-3-4 formation. They will need to score another four now to better Calshott's goal difference.
78': GOAL. FCH 3-3 DWW. AFC 1-2 EXT. Oh hang on, FC Harpoon have somehow got a third, massively against the run of play. Valentina Perry's shanked shot is deflected in off the back of a visibly confused Etzy Dialogue. This brings about yet another change at the bottom of the table, Brimstone going back into the relegation zone.
80': GOAL. GWBu 2-2 RIS. Gwinevra Bulls are likely to be going down to the third tier with that goal, Fabian Barnett finding space there to squeeze that goal in.
81': Brimstone are furiously looking for an equaliser in Wrexton, with their ANL status hanging perilously by a thread.
82': GOAL. GWBa 4-0 WYE. And the Barbarians have a fourth, Wye United have been largely dreadful all game so it's little surprise, Archibald Koyaanisqatsi teed up there by Eneka Hexmark.
83': Ohhh the dream, may be about to die in Skjoll, as Cawln Wanderers have just been awarded a penalty...
84': GOAL. CAW 2-1 SKJ. Yep, that's probably it for Skjoll now, I doubt they'll be able to get two in the time remaining to them.
85': GOAL. FCH 3-4 DWW. And Dwile have another goal! Back into the relegation zone slide FC Harpoon, not for the first time this season have they let slip a multi-goal lead. What a final day this has been.
87': GOAL. GWBu 2-3 RIS. And another goal for Royal Issington, fully condemning Gwinevra Bulls to the relegation zone now. Time is almost up.
88': GOAL. EGL 0-3 ODK. Oldem Knights finally manage to get a third against an Egloskerry side reduced to 9, Wisdom Mochan the substitute scoring the late goal. Egloskerry will drop out of the ANL the way they played in it this season. Ill-disciplined, unorganised and with no threat in front of goal. Their magical ability to stay up with a squad that was largely dross has expired.
90': And that's it! What a final day, with FC Harpoon and FC Brimstone falling into and climbing out of the relegation zone multiple times respectively and the top of the ANL2 being just as exciting.

Marshall Cup Final
FC Endeavour 0-1 Gwinevra Barbarians

In front of a capacity crowd in the Stadium of Apox, a Marshall Cup final between two heavyweights of the game played out. It was a pretty cagey affair, with both teams playing pretty much full strength line-ups. Initially, the attacking thrust of each team cancelled out the other, but the Barbarians eased themselves into the game and soon were the more assertive side. Eventually, in the 54th minute, it would be Archibald Koyaanisqatsi's lofted through ball which Inga Puffin rose to head home which would be the difference between the two sides. It was a fitting end to a Gwinevra management career for Chris Maarsden, who had been wildly successful as manager of the club.

Mareibat Premier Season 5

Mareibat Premier Preview

by Dulles Washington | 17th March 602

The Mareibat Premier comes shambling back for a fourth season. Once again Halholzer United are the favourites for the title, but wait what's this?! Bellight FC and Harmonica Tundra have both gone fully professional in the off season and with Pilgrimage and Teol United becoming semi-professional as well, the standard of play might be marginally better than dreadful this time around. Although that's probably the ceiling for the standard of the league for the forseeable future, with Mareibat still as cash strapped as ever. Scraglet Rovers, having amassed just ten points all of last season will have upped their small islander status this seaon - hopefully they will manage to pick up a win this season!

Halholzer United defied anyone - literally anyone - who might have argued that the league is becoming less of a procession by sweeping all in front of them to gain their fifth straight title - this title by an enormous 11 points over surprise package Bellight Wanderers who beat out heated locals rivals Bellight FC and newly professionalised Harmonica Tundra to get the "best of the rest" prize this season. Pilgrimage continue to teeter on the edge of a return to UICA, the club always just struggling to get over the line - especially this season with Roy Tobin moving to Bellight FC halfway through after a poor start to the season for them.

Cape of Hope FC have overperformed in recent years, and will be a little disappointed to only get 7th place this season, while the good project developing over in Teol took a hit as they struggled to eighth. Below them are all the usual suspects, although give it up for Scraglet Rovers! After not recording a single win all season last time out, they managed to get six wins in the bag and finished 12th, with Halholzer Spitfires continuing to be an absolute mess in finishing rock bottom.

Talking Point: The Marshall Cup Qualifying Round is the usual level of carnage, with some entertaining games being played out, such as FC Borks strong away victory at Flotsam & Jetsam, the side from Oxshottshire trotting out 5-2 winners in the end. Newly promoted to the conference 595 Cazarans also get a win in their Marshall Cup debut, the team founded by Audioslavian expats in 595 A.T doing well to overcome a decent Plains side from the very southern reaches of Apox. However, the most eye-catching result of the round is Churchill Town's 8-4 eviseration of Jabberwocky Arisen in a game where clearly defense was an afterthought. Churchill Town will be chasing promotion to the ANL3 this season and if they can keep up that kind of form for any length of time, then a promotion could certainly be on the cards.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour earn a big win on the opening day of the season. It is impressive how on an opening day full of goals, Reinhard Shale's Endeavour manage to be the talking point of the entire round, as they give newly promoted Calshott Lighthouse a reminder of the difficulty of playing at this level. If this game is anything to go on, it shows that Endeavour will be in good stead with the forward line being led by Euran Lewis Phoenix, as Shale has publicly said that Phoenix is his number one striker this season, with the ageing Alpha Gandhi likely to be reduced to the role of impact substitute this season, shown by his late goal after his introduction in the 70th minute. Phoenix himself bagged an opening day hat-trick and generally looked lethal in front of goal, although he will have much more difficult defenses to unlock than an open and loose Calshott defense.

Talking Point: Wofford on a hot streak. The Woffies have started the season in imperious form (albeit against less than top calibre opponents), Armando Quillisi doing well so far to gel in the raft of new players while continuing the upward trajectory of many of the existing players at the club. Martin Blessed has landed on his feet, with time in the even more aggressive Nepharim Premier meaning he is well equipped for the nearly-as-aggressive, not-quite-as-good ANL. Other players, like Bolivar Sabrefell and captain Tytos Daniel continue to improve, with Daniel potentially in line for caps in the next World Cup qualifiers on this form. Eusebio Drawbridge continues to improve and at this rate he will soon be stealing more starts from Bryton Menheniot in the national team.

Talking Point: In stark contrast, Oldem Mechanical have been bafflingly bad so far this season. This is a team with much of the defense which conceded the fewest goals a couple of seasons ago still intact, while not exactly having attacking frailties up front with the powerful duo of Joan Vickers and Brayden Custworth in the striking roles. However, this more freely scoring campaign so far has seen them concede seven times while being unable to get themselves on the scoresheet yet. Sto Southwold will have to get his attacking players firing soon, as this is terrible form - the 4-0 drubbing they just had to an AFC United team very much at home in the ANL now saw a chorus of boos ring out at full time at the BRAAAGH ground. At least those still inside the ground, as at least a third of the home fans had already pissed off back home by the time the whistle sounded.

Talking Point: A brief word about Apoxian teams in UICA this season. It's been... an underwhelming season UICAwise so far. While Dwile Warriors have breezed their way relatively easily into the group stages, other teams have struggled, with Gwinevra Barbarians & FC Endeavour crashing out in their first games played, while Barbury Town crashed out of the Champion's Cup in the third Preliminary round before then crashing out of the Globe Cup to Westhold Royals of Mriin the very next round. Exton F.C (who are looking increasingly good under Tolgus Tregajorran's leadership) are the last remaining Apoxian hope for the Globe Cup this season, as they face X SC of 95X in the Qualifying round.

Talking Point: Let's also take a minute to look at the latest team to debut in the top flight - Azewyn Royals. They've been finishing strongly in the ANL2 for a number of season now, so few would have been surprised to see them do relatively well in their first season in the top tier. They were actually predicted to finish 11th/12th this season based on their team strength before the season started. However, they've really struggled so far, largely just looking naive in their play. Jorge Guardia has set out his team to play attractive, expansive football and while they've been creating chances and scoring goals, they've been found out at the back and just can't pick up points at the moment, bottom of the table with no points to their name after five matches.

Talking Point: Matchday 4 saw the first Oldem derby of the season occur, and much to the Knights chagrin Mechanical squeaked it, picking up their first win of the season to rub in their neighbours faces. It was a typically prickly affair, although not the explosive spectacle of previous games with Kjn Volgisrhaad and Sto Southwold the managers being more calming influences on their clubs than previous managers. Joan Vickers looked a little subdued in the opening games of the season, but her goal was the difference here, Griffin Ascroft picking her out from the halfway line, finding her in space just outside the box and allowing her to blast in a goal on the turn. She was unlucky not to have more than one goal from the game, but Ulysses Abujamal had a good game in goal for the Knights, the veteran shot-stoper making a number of key saves and rightly feeling let down by his attack, particularly Eri Raajimakers who missed a good chance late on in the game to give them a point.

Talking Point: The Marshall Cup first round serves up a scintillating group of games with some proper crackers in there, that its hard to whittle them down to just a few to talk about. There are a lot of big names culled early on (in part due to a lot of ANL match-ups straight away), but few would have seen currently third tier Bouldertown holding FC Endeavour to a 2-2 draw in normal and extra time, then squeaking it through on penalties - Endeavour cup keeper M'Gordon Hughes making a number of mistakes in the shootout and seeing his side crash out. Elsewhere FC Brimstone crash in extra time to former ANL side Atletico Standard who are now an amateur side in the conference south, the first 90 minutes of play being largely boring as all hell before the goal in extra time. Urbanista lose to the youth side of the aforementioned Endeavour, the Centre for Excellence playing well and the young players hold their nerve to beat the big club from southern Apoxian on penalties. FC Harpoon have really struggled so far this season following their relegation to the ANL2, and their poor season is not made any better by an embarassing loss to conference Boxford, while their cross-town rivals (and now ground-sharers following Harpoon moving out of the Celebratory Stadium) Cawln Wanderers batter Oxshott Wardens 4-0 to at least have something to smile about. The highest scoring game of the round though is Wye United against Dwile Warriors, with a ten-goal classic occurring, Alice Montfort-Columbo with a hat-trick as she continues her scintillating start to the season.

Talking Point: The first Auld Classic of the season is done, as Gwinevra host the Warriors in front of a rammed full capacity Barbaria crowd. Both teams have looked pretty evenly matched at the top of the table so far this season, but the attacking power of the Warriors can never be ignored and the reigning champions struck first by a headed Marcy Blake-Tatum goal, Blake-Tatum latching onto some space behind the Barbarians centre backs to power home from Jayden Fox's lofted ball. A number of cards are shown in quite a tempestuous derby, with Forlock Pentameter and Archibald Koyaanisqatsi almost coming to blows just before half time. The second half remains balanced, until Nick James crashes the ball home in the fifty-fifth minute, to put the Warriors in the driving seat. They look to be cruising to a 2-0 win until a moment of brilliance by Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval sees Gwinevra peg back Dwile's advantage to one. Despite increased pressure by Gwinevra, John Grieves throwing caution to the wind and setting out an aggressive strategy in the closing minutes, they aren't able to get that crucial equaliser, and Dwile have bragging rights until the second half of the season.

Talking Point: At the moment, the title race is looking like it is going to be between one of the traditional big three of Dwile Warriors, Gwinevra Barbarians and FC Endeavour. Dwile Warriors currently hold the top spot and have any head to head advantage over the other two due to winning the Auld Classic in MD6 and the Dwile derby in MD7, while the Barbarians are one behind them, John Grieves currently getting his team to play good football and quietly grind out results. FC Endeavour have looked at times spectacular (that 5-0 thrashing of a good Barbury side springs to mind) but their inconsistency is hampering them and they currently sit five points off the pace with 17 points. Each club is the tale of (at least) one striker, with the Warriors having the fiersome line up of Marcy Blake-Tatum and Danielle Jackson up front, Gwinevra having the long serving Miriam Oakstone-Sandoval and Endeavour having current golden boot leader Lewis Phoenix up front.

Talking Point: Azewyn have a point! Azewyn Royals have largely looked all at sea so far this season, Jorge Guardia's side just failing to pick up those vital points they need if they want their time in this division to be more than a fleeting visit. In fact, they fail to pick up any points at all until holding Exton on Matchday 7, a drab 0-0 snoozefest giving them a point finally, although Guardia will be ruing his team's lack of clinical finishing with both Brian Saltet and Ezequiel Charpentier both drawing blanks against Lemuel Bereket in goal. They do look a little more lively in later games, and were winning for long stretches against AFC United and Oldem Knights but unfortunately cannot see out those games and end up with just a single point for their troubles from the first nine matches of the season.

Lower Leagues

Despite a continuing mess off-field, with the club in serious financial troubles after years of mis-management and players being paid irregularly, Egloskerry top the second tier after ten games have been played as they seek an immediate return to the top flight. Although that all depends on their financial stability of course and there is speculation that further troubles could see them handed a points deduction of up to ten points. Close behind them are Skjoll Premier, who have really taken to playing at this level, and previously long serving ANL clubs Mandon United and Issington F.C. Mandon have been in spectacular scoring form this season, with their up front duo of Audioslavian Jokin Mork and Ezra Howell scoring by the bucketful. Issington F.C on the other hand, currently managed by Olivier Gardet (formely of Wrexton F.C) have the best defensive record in the league so far and just need to keep in touch with the top, having been pre season promotion favourites. Skibbereen United are playing impressive football in their first season at this level, largely due to the continued good scoring form of last seasons ANL3 top scorer Mubaaraka Durtch, who has been attracting ANL attention and will surely get a move up a tier next season.

At the bottom of the table, it is the Cawln clubs who are propping up the league, with FC Harpoon having recently moved into Cawln Wanderers 10,000 capacity City Ground after permanently moving out of the over large and financially draining Celebratory Stadium, which hosted its last game in the recently hosted World Cup. With both clubs struggling on the pitch and off it financially this season in the small local market, there have also been discussions over a merger of the two clubs - although that may hinge on the footballing and financial positions of the two clubs at the end of the season. Above them, Witchunt, who have done exceptionally well to stay comfortably in the second tier for many years, may finally be unable to keep up with the professional clubs around them. Witchunt is a very small town, at just ten thousand occupants, and they can't afford to be professional, so their time at this level could well be over come the end of the season.

The third tier is all about which one out of Barrabrook United, Gwinevra Bulls and Tuffield Giants will end up winning - based on the current form seen this season, those three are just the most consistent and strongest performing teams so far. Below them, it's all pretty close at this stage, with lots of movement, although Wallwatch FC are looking good in their second season at this level and Avenida Apox have banished last seasons troubles to do well so far. At the bottom, newly promoted Frosham FC, Yerk United and Bouldertown are a little adrift at the moment, with two of them favourites at this point to go down.

Talking Point: The big three are just looking leagues ahead this season. Pundits have been speculating on the widening gap between those teams contesting at the top every season and those struggling against relegation, and on the showings of Matchday 12, this looks to be in evidence. All three of the top teams hosts teams who definitely might be expected to struggle this season, and, well, the resulting scrums are ugly. First of all, free scoring FC Endeavour host AFC United of Cierbanor, a respectable side but not one which will cause too many managers nightmares, and absolutely pulverise them 6-1 in a pretty complete team performance. Lewis Phoenix gets two goals himself, taking his tally to a scarcely believable 11 goals already this season. Gwinevra Barbarians don't want to miss out on the action and put poor Azewyn Royals to the sword, gutting them and dancing in their entrails thanks to the brilliant set place of Archibald Koyaanisqatsi who gets a goal and four assists in the game, while young Harlem Saxstrom, handed a rare start gives John Grieves a selection headache as she is utterly brilliant and grabs two goals for herself. And as for Dwile, Mulhampstead aren't the best of teams defensively at the best of times, but the Warriors front two of Marcy Blake-Tatum and Danielle Jackson eviserate them, Blake-Tatum with a hat-trick and Jackson with two goals herself to help power Dwile to a 7-2 victory.

Talking Point: Oldem Mechanical are in real trouble. Sto Southwold is getting himself into very hot water indeed at Mechanical, as they simply cannot score. They have a mere three goals to their name so far this season and have almost entirely failed to provide Joan Vickers and Brayden Custworth with any kind of opportunities so far. Last season wasn't much of a spectacle offensive wise and while their defense remains strong this season, their inability to score puts them firmly in the relegation zone at the moment - they'd be dead last most seasons but thankfully this season the terrible form of Azewyn helps them out a bit. Southwold is said to have no more than two games to turn things around and its fair to say the club have continued to regress season after season since he took over - the club were coming off a season of UICA football but have since slid further and further down the table. It's fair to say that the board aren't ready to let them slide right out of the division and he has very little time to turn things around.

Talking Point: Dwile out of the Champion's Cup. And so Apox's last UICA representative sputter out of the competition at the group stage. To be fair, being drawn into a group with Mliona-Lpaka, Raynor City United and Turoki Tide is exceptionally unlucky so it's not a calamity per se, but it is still a bitter disappointment to see the top club in the nation out at only the Group Stage and to see Apoxian involvement in international competitions already over. Ponting Glamorgan will have to continue to motivate her team though, as they currently have a three point lead at the top of the ANL - and with it being the only competition the Warriors are left in - she must ensure all the teams efforts are focused on retaining the title they claimed after a long wait.

Talking Point: Unlucky number 13 for Sto Southwold. Despite drawing against the indominable force that is Mulhampstead (sarcasm), Sto Southwold has been given his marching orders at Mechanical after another limp display with the players strolling around the field throughout the game and generally giving off the impression that they've just stopped playing for their manager. It's hard to say exactly who Mechanical will end up appointing next, with no obvious candidate really standing out, especially given the rut the club find themselves in. As for Southwold, will he ever manage again? The 68 year old has looked completely shattered at various points this season, although in his final press conference he has expressed some regrets at never being able to raise his management level to a higher tier, having always done reasonable but not spectacular jobs with clubs in lower midtable in the ANL.

Talking Point: Jorge Guardia chalks up another managerial failure. I don't know what it is about old Jorge. He always seems set at a club, normally having assembled a good squad, sound tactics, generally likeable person. And then things all go tits up. And this season, it is going wrong in the most spectacular fashion, with the Royals marking their debut in the top tier with just four points and no wins in the first half of the season. At this rate, they're on course to smash the 11 points Gwinevra Bulls got which is the league's lowest points total. The board admirably stuck with Guardia for half the season but at the halfway stage it looks pretty clear that he is not going to be able to turn it around. This leaves the bottom two clubs currently managerless, although Oldem Mechanical have been able to score a goal in each of their last two games so their problems are at least being a little alleviated.

Talking Point: At the other end of the table, the big three of Dwile Warriors, Gwinevra Barbarians and FC Endeavour are all having breathtaking seasons - looking at their goal difference totals it's clear to see who in the league is brushing aside teams regularly, with all three scoring 4, 5, 6, even 7 goals quite regularly this season. It is very entertaining to watch and makes for an exciting title fight but does make you wonder if any other teams might be able to come in a break their dominance. Barbury Town, the only team in the last couple of decades to interrupt those three's titles are in fifth but have looked a little off the pace so far this season. Noel Amundsen is doing well with Urbanista, but they often fall away at crucial moments. You get the impression that Exton F.C, Oldem Knights and Wofford Town are all projects which are building exciting things, but can any of them break the deadlock and become the seventh club to lift the ANL trophy any time soon?

Talking Point: FC Brimstone have been having a marked resurgence under the management of Leo Santander this season. It's hard to say exactly what the grizzled Nepharim has done to see Brimstone avoid their relegation struggles of recent seasons, but they've been comfortably midtable so far this season - the squad actually operating at a level which you'd expect. Gregari Kakextua has been banging in more goals this term, while players such as Jurgen Stern and Geoffrey Klingenberg have had noted improvements in playing ability. The off season additions of Hecates Ruarisson and Aaron Hungar have also been doing well and Ruarisson has firmed up the defense more in this high scoring ANL season while the industry and creative spark of Hungar has helped set up Kakextua for more goals.

Talking Point: Azewyn have picked up a win! It took them half a season and a managerial change, but the Royals under new manager Sunbar McCoy got their first three points of the season against Wye, McCoy shoring the team up defensively and allowing their attacking players to play with a bit more freedom than under Jorge Guardia and it is beginning to show. The win against Wye United was a magnificent effort, with Brian Saltet finally showing some of the form which saw him tear up the ANL2 season after season, the win being the first game of the season where Azewyn Royals finally looked like the team who could come to the top tier and actually do something with their season.

Lower Leagues

Issington F.C just edge out Egloskerry at the top of the second tier, although Issington's far superior goal difference almost acts as an extra point in this instance. Olivier Gardet has put behind him the poor form and team mismanagement which saw his tenure at Wrexton end, managing to get the best out of striker Liam Mowbray so far this season. Behind the top two, Skjoll Premier remain very much in the hunt for a first season in the ANL, in similarly imperious goalscoring form to Issington, veteran striker Blodeuwedd Conmara (formerly of Oldem Mechanical) knocking them in with happy abandon so far this season. In terms of goalscoring adventures though, Mandon United take the crown as Audioslavian striker Jokin Mork has been in electric goalscoring form alongside Ezra Howell, with Etchilhampton (chasing a second consecutive promotion) and Urbanista Trojans still in touching distance of the top.

Despite the wealth of attacking talent on display so far though, it is Mubaaraka Durtch of newly promoted Skibbereen United who tops the goalscoring charts - the young Mareibatian prodigy already said to have signed an agreement with Exton F.C for next season, although other clubs like Oldem Mechanical, Wrexton F.C & Issington F.C are also said to be after his signature at the moment. The two Cawln clubs have climbed off the bottom now although talks remain ongoing about a merger of the two sides ahead of next season in the small local football market. Currently managerless Royal Issington have fallen into the relegation zone as a confidence crisis grips the club who were in the ANL not long ago while Witchunt - the plucky underdogs - remain at the foot of the table.

Gwinevra Bulls have pulled away at the top in the third tier and being 12 points above fifth are almost guaranteed at least a playoff place at least by this point. Barrabrook United, five points behind, also remain in the hunt for promotion back to the second tier and despite falling away a bit, Tuffield Giants look well placed now. The students of Metropolitan University Dwile will be very pleased to be fourth in their first season back in the third tier but promotion further cannot happen for them so Mona A.F.C (gradually climbing their way back up the Apoxian league system) are in the final play-off spot for the moment although it is close in mid-table with four points separating them from 9th placed Beowulf FC. At the bottom, Centre for Excellence, Frosham FC & Bouldertown are in danger and it looks likely that two of them will be relegated this time around.

Talking Point: Dwile survive a difficult couple of weeks. Ponting Glamorgan's seemingly unstoppable rise to becoming a top Apoxian coach continues as her Dwile side remain three points clear of Barbury Town after a couple of tough fixtures. Many would have pencilled this in as the crunch point of their campaign to retain their title, but three points from two games including the Auld Classic and the Dwile derby can be a return Glamorgan is satisfied with. Both games were close affairs, with 1-0 the scoreline. The Auld Classic was a relatively calm one, the Dwile defense doing well with Nick James and Isidra Jeurissen, nominally wingers, both tracking back well and managing to counter the new look attacking Gwinevra, only being undone by an exceptional Namakula Kawesa free-kick. They also did well to negate the formidable offensive threat posed by FC Endeavour, keeping the on fire Lewis Phoenix quiet all game and managing to cope with the fresh legs of Alpha Gandhi when he was introduced later on, Isidra Jeurissen getting the only goal of the game on that occasion.

Talking Point: Wofford on the march. Wofford have been comfortably establishing themselves in the ANL since their spectacular rise to the top tier a few years ago now. Despite this though, they've been unable to improve on midtable finishes but Armando Quillisi was a clever appointment as manager and this season you sense he's finally had all the pieces in play to have a proper crack at the UICA places. And they haven't disappointed, his young, fresh squad playing open and expansive football so far this season - spearheaded by Martin Blessed up front but backed up by an excellent midfield with the experience of Cleopatra Hyde (who recently announced her retirement at the end of the season) guiding the younger players such as Tytos Daniel and Bolivar Sabrefell, Christian Ali completing the puzzle. Eusebio Drawbridge has continued to come on leaps and bounds since his breakthrough season last time out and now looks fully indispensible to the side.

Talking Point: The bottom is getting closer. At the halfway point, Azewyn's inability to keep the ball out of their own net and Mechanical's inability to get it in their opponents meant both sides looked pretty dead and buried. However, the managerial changes they made have clearly had an effect as both clubs have drawn closer to Calshott Lighthouse and Mulhampstead above them to turn things into a four club battle to avoid relegation. Nelson Horatio achieved a remarkable result in beating Dwile Warriors 5-2 to earn Mechanical's fourth win of the season and nearly double their goals scored tally, while Azewyn Royals have now seemingly acclimatised themselves to this league and are picking up points left right and centre right now. Mulhampstead are on a dreadful run of form right now and Will Hewitt, having miraculously kept them up for the last two seasons is under serious pressure as manager of the club, dropping down to 14th after a pasting in the relegation six-pointer against Calshott Lighthouse - having previously looked relatively safe once again in midtable.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour are stumbling. Endavour started the season really looking like this could be their year, with Lewis Phoenix in particular in incredible goal scoring form - threatening to break the goals scored in a season record by Laborius Hawk in the early stages. However, they've fallen away a little and lost key games against title rivals Dwile Warriors and Barbury Town in recent weeks and coupled with a slight cooling in Phoenix's scoring form, are now hovering just inside the UICA spots, and will have to fend off competition from Exton F.C and FC Brimstone (and Oldem Knights and Urbanista) below them, while trying to claw their way back towards the Champion's Cup spots and, however faint the hope, the title.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights charging up the table. Kjn Volgisrhaad seems to have finally got an Oldem Knight's side which should have been challenging for UICA playing to their potential and they are coming into form at just the right time of season - picking up points and wins when other teams around them are slipping up and losing points. The race for fourth and fifth remains wide open and Jack Jevđenijević and Eri Raajimakers goals are helping the team massively in their pursuits. Behind them, Azem Senekovic has really settled into the side, the young Mytanar linking up well with wide players Alexsandr Denisov and Colm O'Tuathail and generally just providing that extra spark in midfield. At the very back of the pitch, Ulysses Abujamal is defying his age and continuing to perform well in goal - perhaps even making some of the most acrobatic saves of his career to date. Despite being 35, he could play on for a couple more years at this level.

Talking Point: Mulhampstead finally... and bizarrely sack Will Hewitt. After keeping the club up against the odds for two seasons, you'd think the board at Mulhampstead would afford Will Hewitt at least to the end of the season to turn things around. But it wasn't to be the case, as the third managerial change of the season happened after Matchday 27, with Mulhampstead falling to the bottom of the table this is clearly the last throw of the dice to keep them up, especially as Oldem Mechanical and Azewyn Royals have both managed to drag themselves out of the relegation zone. Let's be clear though, Mulhampstead have been utter abject in the second half of the season and many of the players look like they've just given up at this point - Solomon Harm alone looking like the only player to be even remotely invested in keeping them up at the moment. He will certainly be gone to pastures anew in the offseason. With no permanent manger in place, it is very hard to look past Mulhampstead dropping back down to the second tier for next season.

Talking Point: The Warriors are still in pole position to retain their title and have churned out necessary wins almost as much as they have blown teams out of the water so far this season - Ponting Glamorgan has instilled her side with a lot of grit. That grit is probably the main differentiating factor between them and FC Endeavour for example. Although Gwinevra Barbarians are chasing them close, at this stage there is a kind of slow inevitability to Dwile's march to a ninth ANL title, a feat which would put them back as the most winning ANL title side ever. Stephen Frew, Moon Dust... will Ponting Glamorgan cement herself as one of the all-time great Dwile managers with this second title win? It would certainly be something few would have expected even just three seasons ago.

ANL2


It was a meteoric battle in the end between Issington F.C and Skjoll Premier for who would be the winners of ANL2 and gain promotion to the top tier - in the end Issington F.C held their nerve and showed their experience at this level to top the league on goal difference. It all boiled down to the clash between the two on Matchday 29, with Skjoll Premier racing into an early lead thanks to a Blodeuwedd Conmara double, but Issington kept firm and wore down the Islanders, Liam Mowbray with a stunning strike to score the winner. And so Skjoll Premier return to the play-offs where they face an Egloskerry side looking to be promoted at the first opportunity and an Urbanista Trojans side who are looking to return to the ANL after a long absence. Etchilhampton and Mandon United, close behind will be bitterly disappointed to have not made the cut - Mandon have been down in the ANL2 for a few seasons and will be hoping not to become a permanent fixture.

At the bottom of the table, Urchfont Aggressors just about manage to stay above the relegation zone and so it is Witchunt who will be relegated this season. They've been sliding for a while but the simple truth is that an only just professional club from a town of only 10,000 people will always struggle to permanently stay at this level. Cawln Wanderers should also be relegated, but they announced just before the end of the season that they will be merging with FC Harpoon next season to make Harpoon Wanderers, with the new club playing in the ANL2. As such only one club will be relegated to the ANL3 and three teams will come up from the regionals to fill in the gaps.

ANL3


Barrabrook United manage to haul in Gwinevra Bulls just in time and pip them to promotion on the final day on goal difference. The Bulls must go through the minefield of the play-offs to get promoted, facing off against a resurgent Avenida Apox and Tuffield Giants in the battle for promotion, with Beowulf FC and Mona A.F.C just missing out in a tightly packed upper midtable. At the bottom of the table, Frosham F.C looked out of their depth at this level all season while sadly we must say goodbye to Centre for Excellence who struggled to get the results on the pitch all last season and so must continue promoting youth from the Southern Regional next season.

Talking Points: The first match of the season is, brilliantly, the Dwile derby as double defending champions Dwile Warriors take on perennial heavyweights FC Endeavour. A number of new siginings make debuts, as is seen across the league but it is a familiar face who opens the scoring in the thirtieth season of the ANL - Marcy Blake-Tatum volleying in a cross from Euran left back Jayden Fox to continue her excellent form from the Campionato Esportiva and last domestic season. Endeavour rally and draw level through the boot of Talon Hannibal, but the equality between the two sides is only a temporary arrangement and Nepharim left back turned midfielder Isidra Jeurissen slams home a winner to give the Warriors early bragging rights.

Talking Points: Much has been made of Luxulya St. Cleer's big talk in the off season and her large number of ambitious signings but with a team full of new faces and a new formation ported in from St. Cleer's time as national manager, perhaps the pieces are still settling into place at her new regime. They host a very settled Wofford side who humble them in the opening game of the season, Martin Blessed continuing to pump in goals, even if his second and new Schottic signing Jack Areito's goals are perhaps a touch lucky to go in. There are good sparks for the Knights, with Jack Jevđenijević looking more assured up front as the sole striker and Konrad Gosforth managing to cause a lot of mischief on the pitch. After the game, St. Cleer mentioned how "this is still a team finding its feet under a new system" and that "this game is not indicative of how the season will go". Let's hope for her sake that this big loss is only attributed to early season teething issues.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour have a tough start to the season. However, they didn't let the disappointment of losing in the Dwile derby get to them, as a battling performance against Gwinevra Barbarians sees them take home the three points. The Barbarians come out of the blocks fast, Namakula Kawesa continuing last season's good form to score early while Endeavour are still settling into the game. However, it doesn't take long for the team from Dwile to seize the advantage with Lewis Phoenix and then the venerable Squire Trevelyan opening their accounts for the season to give the lead to Endeavour. Bellarophon Serafino opens his account for his new club with a spectacular bicycle kick, before substitute Harlem Saxstrom squeezes a late goal past Tregatta Spitfire, who had been having a good game until that point.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights make a big statement against the Warriors. This game was an early test to see if the hype surrounding Luxulya St. Cleer's new charges was just that. Despite the Warriors posting a full strength side and drawing a number of crucial saves from Ulysses Abujamal in goal, Oldem manage to keep a clean sheet. This is largely thanks to stern defending from the Knights - nominally their weakest area. Particular praise has to go to young academy graduates Oisin Osadolar and Cendrillion Draycott, who played with maturity and composure in their third and fifth starts for the club respectively. The game seems to be petering out to a draw until a moment of magic from Servet Misidjan in midfield who plays an excellent ball to Alexsandr Denisov on the wing, who duly crosses it into Jack Jevđenijević in the centre. Jevđenijević is maturing into a quality striker - he don't miss from there.

Talking Point: Skjoll Premier have a rude awakening to top tier football. The club from the most distant parts of Apox have done exceptionally well to make it to the top tier in such a short time, but they are the only side yet to pick up points so far. Endellion Hewn has drilled his side into being a compact unit - poised at all times to spring a counter attack. It shows as they've only had narrow defeats so far (and in playing Dwile Warriors and Gwinevra Barbarians) have had top draw opposition. However they'll need to start picking up points soon to stop this becoming a problem and seeing them mired into a relegation fight. However, looking at the plight of Oldem Mechanical and Azewyn Royals, who both left it late to save themselves last season, there is still hope for them. Azewyn Royals show no such problems this time around - they're currently second, albeit after only 270 minutes of football have been played.

Talking Point: FC Brimstone are in good form. Leo Santander has got his team singing from the same hymn sheet so far this season, with the team putting in some consistently good performances. Previous seasons have seen Brimstone struggle for goals, something that has been a mere memory so far this season, exemplified by their last two games, a 4-1 victory over Azewyn Royals and then holding out for a 3-3 draw against the defending champions, only being denied the three points by a late Vivian Lancaster equaliser.

Talking Point: Barbury Town eviscerate Cierbanor. Barbury have, like so many seasons, struggled a little in the early stages, with Alan Eustathios being under fire for some limp early performances. All of the criticism has been at least muffled by a free-flowing 6-3 victory over AFC United of Cierbanor, masterminded by the brilliant pairing of Jarls Magarhatery and Falcon Case in midfield. Aldo Vocani has, even as he enters the twilight of his career (and probably his last season at Barbury), managed to keep up his aggressive attacking swagger and is once again in the early hunt for the golden boot. Eustathios may be slightly concerned by his sides porous defense in the game, but if his team can keep up their attacking strength, he won't have to worry in any case.

Talking Point: Urbanista have struggled early on in the season, with Noel Amundsen already under heavy pressure to turn his sides form around. They have a pretty torrid record of 1 win after seven games, although there were definitely bright sparks in their game against Gwinevra Barbarians, where both sides threw caution to the wind in the second half, eventually just cancelling each other out. Amundsen wasn't overly helped by Jon Fossum and new signing Cuartio Storr's tepid form in the early stages of the season, but both players seem to have clicked into place now and are producing the goals. No indeed, it is the defense that will concern him more, as Kelly Frome and Marcus Gallegos no longer have the pace they once had to keep up with the faster attackers and Farf Ermenegildo Urriza is, as you'd expect, excellent going forward but a little more poor at applying himself defensively at left back.

Talking Point: Ponting Glamorgan, Dwile Warriors unexpectedly wildly successful manager has been courting some controversy of late, claiming in the Dwile Herald that there is a "systematic agenda by referees against the Warriors". This came in the wake of their 1-1 draw against Urbanista, after a Marcus Gallegos hand ball in the area was ignored, denying Dwile the penalty and then later a concentrated fouling effort against Marcy Blake-Tatum saw now cards given out, Glamorgan going absolutely apoplectic on the sidelines at the lack of sanctions, leading to Blake-Tatum being limping off after sixty-two minutes. When challenged about her comments in her pre-match press conference against Wye United she doubled down on her claims, even warning the referee of the match, Gregor Konstantius, generally considered to be completely impartial, that any mis-steps by him would see action taken by the club. The general public seems to have little sympathy for her, as her side are currently just about top as they chase a third successive title.

Talking Point: The Marshall Cup First Round, where the big boys enter has a disappointing amount of upsets, with all the top tier sides remaining in the competition, or at the very least only losing to fellow ANL opposition. Dwile Warriors and Gwinevra Barbarians both gut their opponents 4-0, but it is Skjoll Premier who are the stars of the day, beating out Flotsam & Jetsam 6-0 to record the biggest scoreline of the day. Alcester Sovereign, as a newly promoted side to the regional league plough on to the second round, where the not overly exciting opponent of Calshott Lighthouse lie in wait.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights go top of the table following a tempestuous Oldem derby. In a game where both sides finished with 10 players on the pitch, the Knights under their new regime led by Luxulya St. Cleer take the three points, Alexsandr Denisov's goal coming shortly after play is resumed due to a mass brawl between the two sides (and Mechanical manager Rook Asquith who was then sent to the stands). Afterwards and with the Knights down Azem Senekovic and Mechanical down Nikolas Harm), Denisov received the ball on the edge of the box and slots it coolly past Louis Myers to score the only goal of the game (and also nearly be sent off in the latter stages of the game). The Knights are therefore top after a third of the season helped partly by the big teams dropping points everywhere. However, if they can keep up their good form, St. Cleer's pledge to win a title with the club might come true sooner than predicted.

Talking Point: The Oldem derby isn't the only contentious game of the weekend, with Exton F.C earning some much needed points against now second Barbury Town. Despite Ifrit Coynborough beating almost certainly offside for Exton's opening goal, and then Ear Beck lying prone on the ground, much to the protestation of Barbury players, when Jhon Mercurier scored his second - both decisions stand and hand Exton a decisive advantage which ultimately leads to them claiming the win. Alan Eustathios laments the refereeing decisions after the game, at one point calling the referee blind and landing himself in all sorts of hot water with the IFA.

Mulhampstead have started their first season back in the ANL2 in hot form, unable to stop winning or scoring for that matter, annihilating Harpoon Wanderers on MD6 5-1. New manager Vina O'Hara has been doing well with a remoulded squad from the one which went down and they are hungry for success and to get back in the top tier. Mandon United have also started well, and kept themselves above the pack below so far, experienced Audioslavian Jokin Mork putting goals away aplenty but Gallian Union keeper Andrew Kinloch has been the real star of the show for them thus far.

Behind the top two, the chasing pack is led surprisingly by Miners '47 in third (as they aim to get back into the top tier for the first time since pre-hiatus) and Egloskerry, who's shithousery has actually only increased under Axe the Dominant, who reportedly spend his entire first training session just sitting with the players and getting them to scream at a wall. Down the bottom of the table, the newly merged all Cawln team of Harpoon Wanderers have just not been very good all season - an ageing squad creaking under the weight of its own history. They would certainly be bottom were it not for Barrabrook United who have just been dreadful so far this season - they're on their third manager already after the first was sacked after five games and the second lasts only too more before deciding it was a hopeless case and quitting.

ANL3


In the third tier, Wallwatch FC have settled in this season, then set about all the other teams with a fury, only losing once so far and generally showing total disdain for whoever they've faced. They already have a five point lead over the trifecta of Dwile Warriors Youth (who can't get promoted further), Frewick FC and Tuffield Giants below them. This league has had quite a lot of churn in recent seasons, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly the level each team should be at, but one things for sure - former ANL staple Mona A.F.C should not be at this level. They've had a tough time since football returned to these shores and recently were in the regional leagues. They'll be hoping to continue building in the right direction and get up the other end of the table. At the bottom, Jakkar Town and Thurrock, both winless so far, already look quite adrift from the rest of the league. If they are both the teams to drop to the regionals next season, few will be surprised.

Talking Point: Endeavour under the cosh. FC Endeavour have been having a tough time of things lately, and they've started the season poorly - currently in 12th place with 3 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses to their name. Their current slump includes looses most recently by Wye United and Barbury Town, and while there have been bright points in this run, especially Lewis Phoenix continuing his good development from last year, at times their defending has looked like that of a relegation battler instead of a title chaser. It is dubious at this stage if Reinhard Shale has the ability to turn around a side who have looked lacklustre in recent weeks, and rumours are that he only has the next game against X to save his job.

Talking Point: Oldem Knights continue to impress. Luxulya St. Cleer's current project continues to march on apace, and this was demonstrated most clearly in their 7-2 demolishing of Urbanista, a side who are feeling pretty down on their luck at the moment. Jack Jevđenijević continued his strong form with a hat-trick in the game and generally looked a massive threat up front, with both wide players also scoring. Konrad Gosforth meanwhile, has added that extra spark going forward, causing all sorts of trouble for the Urbanista defense and dragging central defenders Kelly Frome and Marcus Gallegos out of place and leaving the aforementioned Jevđenijević acres of space to play in. The result sees Oldem Knights still very much challenging for the title, tied on points with Barbury Town and Gwinevra Barbarians at the top.

Talking Point: The Marshall Cup second round entertains, as ever. But it still fails to provide many upsets! Once again, at least as far as the big name teams go, the matches play out according to the bookies predictions, disappointing those supporters of the smaller sides. Barbury Town come closest to fallnig out of the competition though, as they need extra time to best minnows southern minnows Yerk United, substitute Triston St. Cuthbert scoring the eventual winner after Barbury concede shortly after Falcon Case's opener. The nominal second teams from the two biggest Apoxian cities go head to head in a match which, not knowing who they are, could be vaguely enticing. However, we do know who they are, one side being Gwinevra Bulls, the only... FC Endeavour. Even in their poor form, FC Endeavour wipe the floor with them, and only the heroic of Agatha Tavish in goal prevent the scoreline being more than 4-1. There is also an Auld Classic, which is a rare and fun cup beast, although the result is anything but rare in terms of recent history as Dwile Warriors comfortably ease to victory against a Gwinevra Barbarians side resting James Palmisano.

Talking Point: The board of FC Endeavour have had enough and unfortunately Reinhard Shale is the first managerial sacking of the season. Endeavour have just struggled to gel so far this season, and it is clear that some major surgery will be required in the off season, with the squad in need of freshening. A draw against higher placed than them AFC United, with their small budget one quarter the size that of Endeavour is seen as the final straw as Endeavour look to break their now lengthening title drought. It wasn't even as if the players had stopped playing for Shale, just, his time was up. They waste no time appointing a replacement, bringing back former manager Kjn Volgisrhaad until the end of the season, who has been sitting on the sidelines so far this season watching as his other former team, Oldem Knights, go from strength to strength under Luxulya St. Cleer.

Talking Point: There is a league Auld Classic to go with the Cup one the game before, in a series of blockbuster games for the pundits to dissect. The Barbarians bring James Palmisano back into the side for the clash, and, perhaps bravely, start young Apoxian-Cosumarite joint national Era Boldwall in her first game of the season. The games billing doesn't disappoint, and it is end to end stuff, both teams blowing caution to the wind and going for the jugular, in the knowledge that the loser will be set far back in the title race in light of the Knights and Barbury's early form. Schottian Nick James looks like he has grabbed a late winner for the Warriors in the 78th minute only for the Era Boldwall to smash home an equaliser in the 84th, elevating her to immediate club stardom and keeping both sides half in the title race. It is fitting as well that the goal is assisted by Palmisano, in very much a passing of the guard down to the younger generation.

Talking Point: FC Endeavour manage to win the Dwile derby. There has been something of a new manager bounce going on in Endeavour, as the second coming of Kjn Volgisrhaad to the dugout has yielded two victories in two games. Most notably, a victory over fierce local rivals Dwile Warriors, although there was a late scare thanks to sub Enzo Garner's late goal before Bellarophon Serafino fed the ball through to one of Endeavour's own subs Isidra Belgrave in the eighty-second to hand Endeavour a vital three points, and move them up to fifth in the table, their first time in the UICA spots so far this season.

Talking Point: Matchday 17 contains an avalaunche of goals, with three teams managing to rack up five of more goals - a rarity indeed in this defensive league. Oldem Knights, who have been going through a middling patch of form of late, pasted bottom side Azewyn Royals into a fine dust, with Jack Jevđenijević, Konrad Gosforth and particularly Alexsandr Denisov simply outplaying the Royals all match. AFC United of Cierbanor go one better, putting a scandalous six past Brimstone, Ozaria Gandhi continuing to prove a shrewd signing for the team as she gets a hat-trick, notably assisted by Kelly Harper in the centre of the pitch who gets a hat-trick of assists herself. And finally, FC Endeavour's new manager bounce gets shat all over by the Barbarians. This is partly due to Steven Eikqvist being sent off in the twentieth minute with the scores at 1-1, but mainly due to the fragility of the defense. Imhotep Jekyll, a top player five to ten years ago, is basically immobile at this point and Dean Steele is still maturing into becoming a top footballer. Against a team with the penetration of Gwinevra and a man down, they didn't stand a chance.

Talking Point: Urbanista have largely flown under the radar somewhat so far this season. Noel Amundsen has overcome a difficult start for the team and turned around their fortunes - powered by the goals of Buyanese Jon Fossum up front and their creativity greatly enhanced by the presence of Alexander Alan and Ashton Moore in midfield. All told, this has resulted in them sitting in 5th, the final IFCF spot for Apox with two-thirds of the season played. They'll have to keep up their game though, as the battle for IFCF will remain tense in the final stages of the season, with Wofford Town and Exton F.C also in the race and hopes that FC Endeavour will finally find some consistent form. To do this, Amundsen will need to tighten his defense, their +2 goal difference being much lower than those teams above them and largely due to an at times leaky defense. Whether this can be done during the season or in the next transfer window remains to be seen - but more will be needed from the ageing Marcus Gallegos and Kelly Frome and the very Farfish Ermenegildo Urriza.

Talking Point: Is it a sign of FC Endeavour's struggles this season that in the "minor" Dwile Derby, they were only able to draw against a hard-working but limited Issington side who are currently in the relegation zone? Both teams talismanic strikers were on the scoresheet in the game and based on their current teams poor forms so far, there is a question if either will still be at their current clubs in a years time. Endeavour have already had to replace their manager this season and there are questions lingering over the current Issington manager, Olivier Gardet, as to whether he can finally re-establish Issington back in the top flight, as they continue to be something of a yo-yo club.

Urbanista Young Boys have so far surprised everyone, including you suspect, themselves and have a good seven point cushion at the top of the ANL2 with two-thirds of the season done. Under new manager Will Hewitt, they've continued to build on incrementally good past seasons so far to put them in pole position for promotion now, thanks mainly to a strong defensive foundation which has seen them concede less than a goal a game so far. Their new keeper, Unais Oderk has been spectacular so far this season and is already courting interest from ANL teams.

Below them, Ethilhampton are also a surprise to see near the top, while more familiar names such as Mulhampstead and Uxminster Athletic round out the rest of the play-off places. It's also worth noting the defensive strength in the league so far this season, no team scoring more than two goals a game on average, and many being only just over a goal a game. Good prospects for potential ANL defensive reinforcements, but perhaps not so promising offensively.

At the bottom of the table, former second side of Urbanista, the Trojans, currently find themselves bottom and in a real relegation dogfight - now firmly having to accept demotion to third place in the city due to the Young Boys exploits. Urchfont Aggressors are also currently in the relegation picture, but its very close at the bottom, with more established sides Gwinevra Bulls and Harpoon Wanderers also hovering above the drop.

ANL3


It's close at the top in the third tier, with Bouldertown currently beating out Tuffield Giants to the top spot on goal difference - Bouldertown eager to make a long awaited return to the top flight. Wallwatch FC and Frewick FC round out the play-off places, but Mona A.F.C (also looking for a long awaited return to the second tier) and freshly relegated Witchunt remain in contention. At the bottom, Jakkar Town and Thurrock, both seven points adrift, already look sunk.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors' patchy form. The defending champions have looked a little inconsistent and off the pace all season now and that was perfectly demonstrated over the last two matchdays, losing out in a close battle with Urbanista. The Warriors were closing in on a winner after Tihamér Szakály's wonderfully struck equaliser only to have their momentum halted in its tracks by brilliant signing Ashton Moore's winner against the run of play. Then, against a very average Wye United side, they had to battle back from 2-0 down to eventually win 3-2 after they were made to pay for early defensive errors. This inconsistency has been repeated throughout the season and is the reason they now find themselves eight points off Barbury at the top of the table and... for the first time in a while are largely out of the title race picture. Ponting Glamorgan hasn't yet committed to extending her contract which is due to run out at the end of the season, but one things is for certain and that is that whoever is the manager come the start of next season will need to make some changes to the side.

Talking Point: Azewyn Royals have lost patience with Sunbar McCoy. After engineering the teams great escape from seemingly certain relegation last season, Sunbar McCoy had build up quite a bit of goodwill at the club. However, the owners are deeply ambitious and this season has seen a regression to the mean. The Royals have been rooted to the foot of the table now for some time and so McCoy has been sent packing. It was probably a fair decision to make, but it doesn't seem like the board had anyone in particular lined up, which could lead to further drama for the club in the coming weeks and could well hamper instead of help their survival efforts.

Talking Point: Oldem Mechanical doing better than expected. Mechanical were expected to really struggle this season after failing to really score anything last time around and then losing Joan Vickers, the only striker who really appeared up to the job last time around. However, Rook Asquith has done well with the players at his disposal so far this season, with Wizzard Mormentor and April Montague being astute free transfers and managing to coax much improved performances out of Brayden Custworth. This saw them sitting pretty comfortably at the halfway stage of the season, but results have begun to slip away from them in recent weeks and he will need to turn that around to prevent Mechanical from being dragged into another exhausting relegation scrap.

Talking Point: Oldems title bid is officially ON. Lots of noise has been made around the fortunes of Oldem Knights under Luxulya St. Cleer's leadership so far this season and while they've been notching up impressive results all season, few thought they actually had the legs for this. However, there are only four games left of the season and the Knights hold a razor-thin advantage over Barbury in second - in all likelihood it will be one of the two who wins the title this season, which makes it the first in a long time indeed where Dwile or Gwinevra haven't been contesting. St. Cleer has bought sensibly (Konrad Gosforth and Servet Misidjan have been huge hits) to strengthen the existing line-up and also improve the performance of existing players (Alexsandr Denisov has been revitalised in his new attacking role while Josmer Talon has slotted in to the starting XI with ease under her tutelage). This is all not to forget the continuing excellent form of their talisman, Jack Jevđenijević, who currently leads a crowded field in the Golden Boot race.

Talking Point: Azewyn Royals have appointed thirty-six year old club captain Geena Brookes (formerly of Barbury Town) as player-manager for the remaining games of the season. In her first match, she saw her team manage a narrow must win victory over Issington F.C above them, but they've slumped back into last place after giving it a good go at Dwile in their most recent match. While the team performances have improved somewhat, there has been a notable change in what the club are saying regarding staying up in the league - the temporary appointment of Brookes suggests that they are biding out the season now and will undergo a full review in the off-season when, chances are, they've been relegated.

Talking Point: Dwile Warriors drag Gwinevra out of the title race. There's a bit of cynicism in the fact that the Warriors managed to drag down their biggest rivals in a very heated Auld Classic indeed, to finally keep them out of the title race, leaving both teams to battle over seeding in the Challengers Cup. It was certainly a spicy game, with Dwile bringing back a number of first team regulars into the side after rotating them out in their 4-0 smashing of local minnows Docklands United. The game started dirty, with yellows shown to both Llorent Llangolan and Jayden Fox for clambering over each other to get the ball, both players ending up in a heap on the floor. Things only got more heated when later on, with Marcy Blake-Tatum being sent off for a studs-up tackle when contesting for the ball with Barbarians keeper, Gianluc de Oca, keeping her out of the Golden Boot race for this season. With the man advantage, the Barbarians seemed to have the upper hand but the only goal of the game came against the run of play, as Forlock Pentameter, playing in his final Auld Classic, sprang a ball forward to Isidra Jeurissen who pumped it home past de Oca. In the resulting chaos, with Barbarians complaining for an off the ball foul on Liam Dosic by Tihamér Szakály, saw a melee erupt on the pitch, resulting in both Lexus Garrison and Namakula Kawesa being sent off, along with Barbarians manager John Grieves, for punting a water bottle at Vivian Lancaster.

Talking Point: Nothing decided yet, but some things in effect are. With two games to go, much of the season is wrapped up, but there is still some jostling over final places. FC Endeavour, currently in eighth, aren't yet mathematically out, but they need full points and a nine-goal swing to get into the final Challengers Cup spot. Based on the form of a team who've now lost as many matches as they've won this season, it looks like this will be the first season in about twenty years with no Endeavour in international competition. They will need to lick their wounds in the off season, and you can expect a shedload of changes to happen. Down the bottom, Azewyn Royals are realistically down, also six points from safety and between seven and seventeen goals to the worse of those around them. The other relegation spot will be given to one of Oldem Mechanical, Skjoll Premier and Issington F.C but all three have occupied it in the last three weeks, so who actually goes down is anyones guess.

The ANL2 Situation: Urbanista Young Boys have absolutely collapsed, picking up only six points in eight games since we last checked in on the second tier. They've been overtaken by the fluid game plan of Mandon United, under Chris Orani, who've played steadily and consistently all season. At the bottom, any two of seven clubs up to Royal Issington in tenth could be relegated, such is the closeness of the bottom of the league this season. Spare a thought for Egloskerry, who, instead of regrouping in the second tier, seem to have gone completely off the rails and are now on their third manager of the season, having publicly contemplated awarding the position to the clubs mascot, a Pink-and-Purple Octopus called Geraint.

Talking Point: 3pm approached and arrived and the nation was tuned into their laptops and smart TV to watch the game between Oldem Knights and Barbury Town. The scheduling gods had favoured things such that, in the end, the top two would play on the penultimate matchday. Pre-match Oldem had a one point lead and could clinch their first ever ANL title with a victory. However, from the start, it seemed as if they would have to wait, at the very least, a week. The Barbury Town players, spurred on by an impassioned pre-match speech by first manager Alan Eustathios and then a more expletive laden one from Jarls Magarhatery, just seemed to get to every ball first, challenge that little bit harder. Two first half goals left Oldem with a mountain to climb and the game was really over in the fifty-eighth minute when Falcon Case rose highest to a ball into the box to make it three-nil. This makes the title Barbury's to lose going into the final day, and what is even more tasty is that they will face the Knight's arch-rivals Mechanical in the final. However, they shouldn't expect Mechanical to be throwing the game - their ANL survival depends on it as they hover dangerously above the relegation zone at present.

The second tier sees Mandon United comfortably romp to the title to see their return to the top tier after an extended time in the wilderness. Manager Chris Orani has gone some way to rebuilding his reputation after something of a failure in his previous job at FC Brimstone, and now gets the chance to prove he can keep the former ANL mainstays in the top tier next season. Urbanista Young Boys, riding high with ten games to go, somehow fail to get even into the play-offs, denied their chance to prove themselves at the top level on goal difference, and so it is Mulhampstead, Uxminster Athletic and Calshott Lighthouse who must fight it out.

The bottom is exceptionally close, the bottom three teams all tied on points, but it is Gwinevra Bulls who can count themselves the lucky ones, as they just about keep their place in the league next season, with Skibbereen United and Urchfont Aggressors dropping down into the third tier.

ANL3


The third tier sees Mona A.F.C return to the second tier for the first time in a long old while, Mona comfortably above everyone else in the division all season. Beneath them, Yerk United, Bouldertown and Wallwatch F.C complete the play-off teams. Jakkar Town, despite looking sunk a while ago, manage to survive on goal difference, with Docklands United heading down to the regionals along with Thurrock, who couldn't pull a run of form together.
