The Astograthian Football League: Season 642 (IX) Preview

Here we go again! The ninth season of Astograthian football is about to get underway, with the World Cup 57 qualifiers as a backdrop. Read on for all the pre-season information.

Transfers
- Garin Alea from Matarazi (Erathore) to Urbizania Wanderers
- Gaur Arambilet from Vincanto (Erathore) to Astograth University
- Anton Axpuru from Echegoyan FC to FKM (Kagdazka and Pazhujebu)
- Abdoulaye Bocandé (Tamarindia) from Defensa (TGT) to Echegoyan FC on loan
- Erramun Echebarria from Sporting Iturributa to Yuzhny Equinox (Polar Islandstates)
- Galeano (Tamarindia) from AS Cruzando (TGT) to The Army Club on loan
- Dion Jantot (Southern Cynocephali) from Blue Mountain Range to Royal Rumiatzi
- Simon Jonas (Osarius) signed on a free transfer by Sporting Iturributa
- Odon Karrikart from Ituraitz FC to Indica United (Southern Cynocephali)
- Patrik Lindegaard (Polar Islandstates) from North Star Grimsey (PIS) to East Railway
- Diegoche Lizaran from Urbizania Wanderers to FC Torshavn (Polar Islandstates)
- Petrigai Mendiroz from Internazcionale Eliodoro (Erathore) to Urbizania Wanderers
- Svennis Moller (Polar Islandstates) from Iturributa United to Astograth University
- Tipi Nanklares from Iturributa United to Ajax Khaldoon II (Queer Poco el Mono Ara)
- Bernard Ouellette (Cotdelapoms), of Sporting Iturributa, retired from football
- Dima Petersen (Polar Islandstates) from the Haapa-Mechelin Academy (PIS) to Sporting Iturributa
- Elston Piran-Osrick (Civil Citizenry) from Baker Fief (CVC) to Athletic Club Rumiatzi
- Artur Rochemback (Polar Islandstates) from Jan Mayen Islanders (PIS) to Sporting Iturributa
- Urtatz Soreasu from Blue Mountain Range to FC Cape St Paul (Polar Islandstates)
- Lester Sutton (Civil Citizenry) from Briarmore FC (CVC) to Ituraitz FC
- Váradi Szemere (Pasarga) signed on a free transfer by Royal Rumiatzi
- Efraín Vizcaíno (Tamarindia) from Estudiantes (TGT) to Blue Mountain Range on loan

There was a record amount of incoming transfers this season as teams from all over the table invested in players from foreign leagues. Garin Alea, Gaur Arambilet and Petrigai Mendiroz, all veterans with plenty of national team experience, returned after several successful years in Erathore to sign for the emergent Astograth University and Urbizania Wanderers, while Athletic Club Rumiatzi and East Railway also paid for experience in the form of Baker Fief's Elston Piran-Osrick and North Star Grimsey's Patrik Lindegaard. Blue Mountain Range, Echegoyan FC and The Army Club all secured international players, their first for the latter two, by loaning some promising Tamarindos for a year. East Railway.

The top four teams were more modest with their signings this time around; Iturributa United limited themselves to the domestic market, defending champions Ituraitz FC brought in Citiz midfielder Lester Sutton, Royal Rumiatzi signed Pasargan U-21 national teamer Váradi Szemere and Sporting Iturributa bought up Artur Rochemback from Polarian giants Jan Mayen Islanders and the Osarian Simon Jonas on a free, as well as snapping up teenage prospect Dima Petersen from the prestigious Haapa-Mechelin Academy.

Outgoing transfers were few, and none of them world-shattering. Striker Tipi Nanklares fled from Iturributa United and became the first Astograthian in the Pocoan Una Serie; similarly, Odon Karrikart finally left Ituraitz FC for the Erathi-owned Indica United of the Cynoceph league. Erramun Echebarria, Urtatz Soreasu and Diegoche Lizaran, all considered decent domestic players, moved to various Polarian teams, Aberri Elizalde was transferred from Royal Rumiatzi to the more modest Série A outfit Charlevoix, and youngster Anton Axpuru became Ordol Urkiza's final transaction of the season at FKM.

In the internal market, three international players saw movement; Svennis Moller became Astograth University's big hope for a solid back line, Dion Jantot came in to Royal Rumiatzi to replace retiring captain Silban Galindo and Bernard Ouellette, at the ripe old age of 37, retired from the sport.

First Division

Ituraitz FC
Hometown: Ituraitz
Ground: Ituraitz Sporting Ground (63,000)
Honours: 2 Leagues, 3 Royal Cups, 1 Ides of March Cup
Manager: Domeka Iriarte
Lineup: Astigar Barrueta; Atseden Echebarne, Milian Erburu (C), Emaut Oidor, Kenny Lazr; Eneko Maruri, Lester Sutton, Urdin Olibarri, Lukar Mendikoa; Fabián Taggliafico, Ikatz Ansotegi
Season 641: Champions
Notes: After a disappointing seventh-place finish, Ituraitz FC came back in guns blazing and ran away with an unprecedented triple: league, cup and Ides of March. We have to wonder if they'll just be a one-season wonder, though, as man-for-man they don't quite hold up to the other top squads even with the signings of top scorer Ikatz “The Locomotive” Ansotegi and Citiz defensive midfielder Lester Sutton.
Prediction: 3rd

Sporting Iturributa
Hometown: Iturributa
Ground: Old City Stadium (72,000)
Honours: 1 League, 1 Royal Cup
Manager: Egoi Azarola
Lineup: Irungarai Aztore; Cherran Zarranz, Ixona Ertze, Sotil Burruchaga, Eneko Dorregaray; Gartzi Oramuno, Artur Rochemback, Gito Pizan, Lartaun Zomoza (C); Victor Brexio, Didi
Season 641: 2nd
Notes: Sporting are still trying to ride on the wave of their league triumph two seasons ago, but the largely unrenewed of theirs doesn't seem capable of reaching the top. Ouellette has set the bar high for Rochemback, as did Echebarria for Ertze; moreover, Didi's age is showing and with no suitable substitutes Sporting are just one mistimed tackle away from being in deep trouble. They haven't even taken advantage of the Erathi Gito Pizan's naturalisation to bring in some extra internationals.
Prediction: 4th

Royal Rumiatzi
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: Knights' Stadium (70,000)
Honours: 3 Leagues, 1 Royal Cup
Manager: Garoa Larzondo
Lineup: Cheru Larretape (C); Urtzi Galard, Ubelteso Adin, Dion Jantot, Váradi Szemere; Kauldi Ayatsbehers, Urdin Alberro, Bartosz Slusarski, Wilson Prieto; Kolya Tchailharovic, Beremando Aldoaga
Season 641: 3rd
Notes: Royal Rumiatzi feel that this really is their season, and with good reason too. Former Kaparaka goalkeeper Garoa Larzondo has been named manager, and has decided to keep the same basic formation but with some interesting transfers. A very young but effective defense will protect newly-named captain Larretape's goal, and a strong midfield led by talented Cafundelense Wilson Prieto should feed the twin tower pairing of Tchailharovic and Aldoaga.
Prediction: 1st

Iturributa United
Hometown: Iturributa
Ground: Old City Stadium (72,000)
Honours: 2 Leagues, 2 Royal Cups, 2 Ides of March Cups
Manager: Aiza Sein
Lineup: Hérion Galonloth; Yuango Mendiola, Ongile Lezertua, Tartalo Maruri, Benat Uranga; Zuzen Barta, Petter Bielsen, Lorenzo Gianluigi, Estebe Bularte (C); Itzaina Erreka, Salum Merec
Season 641: 4th
Notes: Last season was a disappointing one for United, and not just because they finished a measly fourth. A low amount of goals scored and a large amount of goals conceded was their primary concern this pre-season, and their response was the renovation of their defense by bringing in Arexa's Lezertua and Victory's star Benat Uranga, who performed satisfactorily for Astograth during World Cup 56 qualifying and Cup of Harmony 48. The solid midfield, led by captain Estebe Bularte, in his final season of football, and his second, Petter Bielsen, has been kept untouched, but in offense Tipi Nanklares was offloaded to the Pocoan league and South Factory's top scorer Itzaina Erreka brought in as a replacement. Expectations are high, but the team still looks a bit shaky at either end of the pitch.
Prediction: 2nd

Urbizania Wanderers
Hometown: Urbizania
Ground: Cherketzo Arena (30,500)
Honours: None
Manager: Mikelatz Mendialde
Lineup: Kiliz Karrere (C); Ametz Ipagirre, Petrigai Mendiroz, Sotil Echeberry, Erlantz Izagirre; Garin Alea, Ion Arreta, Soter Larreaga, Alexei Razov; Hurko Atristain, Ellis Elmsvikur
Season 641: 5th
Notes: Following a brief but profitable incursion into the Globe Cup, Wanderers have prepared for a similar result so they can dream of bigger fish in a few more seasons. They've entered a bit of an arms race with Astograth University, as both are looking to grab that vital UICA qualification spot. Wanderers have, in their favour, signed University's manager Mikelatz Mendialde, an expert at making do with nothing at all, as well as taken off Arreta and Izagirre from their new rivals. Additionally, they've secured the services of former Olibondeka regulars Garin Alea and Petrigai Mendiroz in a move that is likely to prove decisive, as either of them could still easily make it at one of the Big 4.
Prediction: 5th

Astograth University
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: Arritzola (11,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Xuban Barrutia
Lineup: Gilamu Izagirre (C); Alatz Iturriza, Maore Barturen, Svennis Moller, Unax Lauzirika; Diagur Lizarraga, Urdaspal Treto, Burutzagi Lizaran, Egerdi Bordato; Lartaun Echaspe, Gaur Arambilet
Season 641: 6th
Notes: We've gone over Wanderers strong points, but what has University got to offer other than empty seats? Ituraitz FC's Urdaspal Treto, on one hand, and on the other Iturributa United's Svennis Moller. And not just that, as they've snapped up Gaur Arambilet, who is to date the only Astograthian to have won the Seria-A. Put those three together with the equally skilled and experienced Egerdi Bordato and you have a serious contender for Globe Cup qualification.
Prediction: 6th

The Army Club
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: 18th March Stadium (21,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Arnaitz Basagoitia
Lineup: Balesio Lanziego; Zuzen Ytuarte, Petri Urdanibia, Oinaz Idiakez, Adon Echazarreta; Galeano, Zeruko Echegarai (C), Zilar Sarasua; Orzaize Lizaran, Sendoa Irigiben, Yokin Achabal
Season 641: 7th
Notes: Many reckon last season was a fluke for the distinctly average if high-scoring Army Club. They've let go of the league's top scorer, Ikatz Ansotegi, as well as partner Peli Echetore, and this could be a crucial blow considering offense is their only strength. Replacements don't seem to up to scratch, and the Tamarindo Galeano isn't likely to carry the team on his back.
Prediction: 10th

Echegoyan FC
Hometown: Echegoyan
Ground: Ximun Orieta Sporting Ground (34,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Gunutz Yaregi
Lineup: Urdaspal Basagoitia; Soter Borunda, Hori Zufiria, Abdoulaye Bocandé, Luk Merbilha; Zelaba Nabaskues, Aurken Idoeta, Kaxen Loisate, Goren Barrenechea; Urdin Zomoza (C), Eyande Laranaga
Season 641: 8th
Notes: Echegoyan are back on their feet following some harrowing seasons in the second tier, and they look set to remain in First Division for at least a few more years, though they look unlikely to improve upon last season's result. They may have lost one of their best players, Urdin Alberro, to Royal Rumiatzi, but Abdoulaye Bocandé will no doubt provide the grit and brute strength the Echegoyani defense has recently lacked.
Prediction: 9th

Blue Mountain Range
Hometown: Echegoyan
Ground: Ximun Orieta Sporting Ground (34,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Bizi Boutayre
Lineup: Dei Zambrana; Efraín Vizcaíno, Erramu Labarde, Elorri Zaldibar (C), Tipi Arregi; Aintza Goyenola; Yuaneizu Meiabe, Gaizka Arrechaga, Betadur Goenaga, Iruinea Paei; Intza Basurto
Season 641: 9th
Notes: Blue Mountain Range are a team that often linger in the top third of the table before slowly drifting to the middle as the season winds down. It frustrates them to no end, and having lost their lone gunman Urtatz Soreasu they'll have to rely on Intza Basurto, who is now despised by the entire city of Echegoyan due to his upbringing at FC. Tamarindo Efraín Vizcaíno looks like a solid signing, but he looks too young to match the departed Dion Jantot's performances.
Prediction: 8th

Ituraitz Victory
Hometown: Ituraitz
Ground: Ituraitz Sporting Ground (63,000)
Honours: 1 Royal Cup
Manager: Iaki Urrutia
Lineup: Aurken Krestia; Apal Lekea, Mikelar Loidi, Yelchu Basagoitia, Aketza Zozaya; Bikendi Irungarai, Ametz Sarria, Zeru Egania, Eyande Arroita, Iratze Zarazua (C); Sergei Frank
Season 641: 10th
Notes:Victory have slowly but definitely sunk and been bogged into the mid-table. Their efforts to leave have come off as lazy, and it looks like this season will be more of the same. They've sold their best players, including the outstanding Benat Uranga, and half-heartedly brought in some replacements who look more suited for Second Division than for a team making a conscious effort to break into the top of the table.
Prediction: 12th

Athletic Club Rumiatzi
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: Gotorlekua (42,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Alar Martikorena
Lineup: Lartaun Echegorri; Oroitz Garza, Axular Arana, Ixona Unamunzaga, Oihan Sarria; Ilixo Lezertua, Musko Perea, Elston Piran-Osrick; Remir Oxanguren (C), Sein Lorda, Xanti Miner
Season 641: 11th
Notes: Athletic Club Rumiatzi look headed for the second tier. Maybe not this season, but unless they really take off it'll be their fate soon enough. Elston Piran-Osrick is their big signing and hope this time around, bringing all his skill and experience to the table alongside former Wanderers and United striker Xanti Miner.
Prediction: 13th

South Factory
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: The Foundry (35,000)
Honours: None
Manager: Berbiz Munduarte
Lineup: Jaap Zuiverloon; Gorri Mendizko, Bayardo Laka, Baleren Aresti, Hitzeder Kareaga; Leheren Berkara, Sein Zamarripa, Lore Echebarne, Berbiz Kabia (C); Danek Badjkev, Iraitz Garbaxosa
Season 641: 12th
Notes: What happened to South Factory last season? They were expected to at least challenge for a place in the top four and instead came dangerously close to relegation. The fans and management lost a lot of faith in coach Munduarte as a result, but his previous achievements saved his head from the chopping block. Now they've lost a lot of players, including star striker Itzaina Erreka, to retirement and other teams, but have made some solid signings of their own and look well on their way to moving back up the table.
Prediction: 8th

Royal Arexa
Hometown: Arexa
Ground: Goyaingerua Stadium (21,810)
Honours: None
Manager: Altzibar Echenarro
Lineup: Arkaitz Arbizo; Iratze Ixuel, Erramu Antokana, Bakar Laranaga, Enetz Lorza; Belasko Izaurralde, Naxila Lakoumete, Manu Arburua, Osasun Segura; Yelchu Urdangarin (C), Artzai Alberro
Season 641: 13th
Notes: Royal Arexa just narrowly avoided the drop to the second tier last season, but they don't look likely to dodge the bullet twice. Not that their lineup is any worse for the wear, but they simply seem to lack the drive that kept them going last time.
Prediction: 15th

Antiguoko FC
Hometown: Antiguoko
Ground: The Enclave (18,700)
Honours: None
Manager: Garaile Biribai
Lineup: Belche Mazkialin; Okilano Biartola, Goiz Ekizaboz, Gazkon Labate (C), Koldo Goyri; Luk Chilotegi, Haitz Yniarra, Atze Mungia, Bertol Bidart; Andolin Belakortu, Gizon Pekastain
Season 641: 1st in Second Division
Notes: Antiguoko make their debut in the top tier with a squad boasting plenty of talent, most of it hailing from the best Second Division sides. Enough to get a secure footing here, at least.
Prediction: 11th

Oyardo FC
Hometown: Oyardo
Ground: Sahatsakbasoa (14,100)
Honours: None
Manager: Ichaso Chapitel
Lineup: Berart Izpura; Dunixi Biar, Umea Orrunio, Maurin Doynehard, Adei Etulain; Oinaz Ubago (C), Oinatz Bustinse, Alotz Leoz, Lope Guesamburu; Otsoa Topalda, Formerio Gorospe
Season 641: 2nd in Second Division
Notes: Oyardo just don't convince, their previous season looking more and more like a fluke in retrospect. With all their players coming from the otherwise under-represented Lake Anzar area, they don't seem capable of keeping a level head at this level of competition.
Prediction: 14th

East Railway
Hometown: Rumiatzi
Ground: Narbaitza Memorial Stadium (10,400)
Honours: None
Manager: Lehen Elizalde
Lineup: Hegoi Errazti (C); Soin Boneta, Yoritz Sarasketa, Hanot Irigiben, Aimar Legarza; Remir Ariztegi, Nuno Ordoki, Ereinotz Aizkibel, Hodei Amestoy; Lusea Zabala, Patrik Lindegaard
Season 641: 3rd in Second Division
Notes: The only time East Railway played in the top tier, they went back down immediately, and this time doesn't look to be any different. Though they've spent what is probably their life savings on the signing of Polarian striker Patrik Lindegaard, the rest of the team isn't up to snuff.

The Astograthian Football League: Season 642 (IX)

The ninth season of Astograthian football is over, and it turned out to be just as exciting and unpredictable as always! Read on for results, the FAF awards and an overview of all foreign players in the First Division.

First Division

As always, the Astograthian First Divison was full of surprises. Though not expected to be strong enough to retain their championship, Ituraitz FC once again stormed away with the title on the penultimate matchday after a home win against Iturributa United. Like last time, Gorriaka's strength stemmed from its balanced play and excellent teamwork, with brilliant performances from national team centre-back Milian Erburu, the Mytanar Kenny Lazr and Lukar Mendikoa, with a strike partnership now made up of Fabián Taggliafico and second top scorer Ikatz Ansotegi. The key component was none of these men, however, but Ituraitz' newest Citiz midfielder: Lester Sutton. That's right, the centre midfielder put in a season that was up there with Petter Bielsen's best, masterfully cutting short attacks and directing play. A worthy winner of the Player of the Season award.

In second place was the season's greatest shock, for the modest Echegoyan FC trumped all logic and qualified themselves to the TakilQuip Champions' Cup. But how? Initially expected to be comfortably situated in the mid-table, the Echegoyani outfit - who were only in their second season in the top tier after returning from Second Division - proved that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts in a much more convincing fashion than Ituraitz FC. Boasting no national team players, and their only foreigner in 18-year-old Tamarindo loanee Abdoulaye Bocandé, the green-and-white marshalled behind playmaker Goren Barrenechea and went from being tenth-placed at the middle of the season to challenging for the title. An epic tale for years to come, no doubt, but does this indicate a shift of power in the Astograthian league? Or is it just a freak result? Only time will tell.

In third place was Royal Rumiatzi. Again. The fans are not amused, though at least the team played well, had the league's top scorer in their ranks and didn't concede too many. The fans' impatience only grows with every passing season, though, and if Garoa Larzondo doesn't conjure up some silverware in the next season he can find himself without a job.

Iturributa United once again finished fourth and manager Aiza Sein resigned, though at least the team played with more conviction and ended up with a more satisfactory goal difference. Solid performances from Galonloth, Maruri and Uranga made for a much more solid defense and Petter Bielsen's workrate was outstanding as always, but Estebe Bularte's age showed and his rate slowed down as Otz Lasuen slowly took over playmaking duties. The pairing of Itzaina Erreka and Salum Merec seems to be working, as the latter scored twenty and the former a healthy sixteen. Fifth from the top was Urbizania Wanderers, again latching onto that sweet Globe Cup qualification. The wings, dominated by Soter Larreaga on one side and Alexei Razov on the other, were their highlight, as was Ellis Elmsvikur's budding goalscoring talent.

Surprisingly, Sporting Iturributa finished in sixth place and missed out on any kind of UICA competition. Conceded the least amount of goals in the league, but also scored a miserable amount and will no doubt be looking to renew its offense for next season. Polarian Artur Rochemback brought in some fresh air to an increasingly stale team, but wasn't enough to turn around the club's fortunes. Next up are Astograth University and Athletic Club Rumiatzi. The former were betting big on Globe Cup qualification, and may find themselves in financial trouble now that they have stars' wages to pay and no extra income; the latter have comfortably avoided relegation and don't look likely to go down in years to come.

In ninth place were Oyardo FC, who surprised everyone by doing so well with a squad made up only of local players. Futher down, Blue Mountain Range and Ituraitz Victory's plans to creep up the table came crashing down as they fought to stay away from the drop, as did The Army Club, who were unable to recover from the loss of their best strikers. South Factory stayed down once more, not going down to Second Division by a hair's breadth, and Berbiz Munduarte will no longer continue in his post due to this. Unlucky Royal Arexa return to the second tier alongside East Railway, while Antiguoko FC completely failed to fulfill expectations and ended up bottom of the league.

CHAMPIONS

ITURAITZ FC
(3rd title)

Second Division

The heartbreak of Athletic Club Olarria knows no end, and for the third season in a row they miss out on promotion after stumbling on the final matchday. Less unlucky were Iturributa Racing Club, who return in style to the top tier after a year in Second Division; the historically significant Royal Association, who make their comeback after two seasons; and debutants Ximun Orieta FC, Ituraitz' third most popular club and who had to brave the third tier just three seasons ago. Athletic Club Progess, Letzama FC and Royal Garitzeta all had forgettable seasons, and will be summarily replaced by the best Second Divison B clubs.

League of Aquillian
Season I

Following the national team's exploits at the World Cuppet, the Football Association of the Dominion of Aquillian (FADA) have sanctioned the professionalisation of the League of Aquillian. The league formerly consisted of twenty teams, at semi-professional level, but due to problems regarding finance and structure, only ten teams have opted to purchase franchise rights and remain in the new league. The remaining ten drop down into the regional league systems, and will retain the opportunity to purchase franchise rights. As the league is still in development, most teams do not have commercial sponsorship, and will be seeking in the coming months.

The league is setup as a double round-robin league, in which all teams will play all other teams once at home and once away, for a total of eighteen games per team. Two points are awarded for a win, and one for a draw; the team with the most points at the end of the season will be crowned champions. The current tiebreaking criteria, in order, are head-to-head results between tied teams (including goal difference), and then overall goal difference. Should the teams still be tied, a playoff match will be ordered to determine league ranking.

The league rankings are reversed to determine the team order for drafting from FADA's "Sons of Aquillian" pool during the off-season every year. Each team is allowed to draft up to three players from the pool, which is made up of players eligible to play for Aquillian who did not train on the island -- for example, academy players from Osarian teams -- and FADA-selected elite youth players from the national academy in Zeneca.

The top two teams in the league qualify for berths in the Rushmori Copa de Campeones, while third and fourth are awarded the right to enter into the Copa de los Principes. The bottom team in the league may be eligible for relegation, if the winners of the national playoffs apply for professional status and entry to the league and do not already have franchise rights.

FADA have also floated the idea of a straight knockout cup for the top four teams, so as to qualify a team for entry into the Cygnus Cup. However, this will be subject to the rules of the tournament, which are to be investigated during the off-season.

League Cycle VII Preview
Season seven of the Federation and Challenge leagues, and hopes are higher than ever for our teams that a strong performance could lead to a showing on the international stage. With the Terns playing so well, fans' belief in their heroes is higher than ever, and who knows what that level of support could lead a team to do...

Largest International Transfers
Henrik Litremmen (SWR) - from Vaastrada FC (SWR) to Jan Mayen Islanders
Dario Szezlak - from Tasterson Road (CVC) to East Kent (CVC)
Alexei Kaplowitz - from FC Axel Heiburg to Vincanto FC (ERA)
Daloteat Awtitata (CVC) - from Resolute Storm 1913 FC to Sparta FC (SSO)
Mikhail Magyar - from Edge Road (CVC) to TFC Lannymore (CVC)
Matthijs van Schorel (PON) - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to FC Axel Heiburg
Hannes Urz (MYT) - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to SK Franz Josef City
Leonid Rybak (MYT) - from Olympik of Stratenberg (MYT) to FC Torshavn
Vyacheslav Merkens (MYT) - from RSK Longyearbyen Town to FC Axel Heiburg
Aleksi Semak (MYT) - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to SK Aasiaat Harbour
Martin Latka (MYT) - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to SK Aasiaat Harbour
Dennis Adkvissen (MYT) - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to SK Aasiaat Harbour
Sergey Makarov - from Skyline City (MNG) to Montreal (CDP)
Ole van Jendrisen - from Atletik Thessia (MYT) to Royal Vosaroni Antenelli (ERA)
Petter Nikkel - from SK Franz Josef City to FC Mildrid (ERA)
Vanni del Naran (ERA) - from Charzzan (ERA) to Jan Mayan Islanders
Zorion Legeren (AST) - from FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls to SK Franz Josef City
Sebastian Giraldinho (ERA) - from FC Mildrid (ERA) to FC Cape St Paul
Svennis Moller - from Iturributa United (ASG) to Astograth University (ASG)
Artur Rochemback - from Jan Mayen Islanders to Sporting Iturributa (ASG)
Urtatz Soreasu (ASG) - from Blue Mountain Range (ASG) to FC Cape St Paul
Diegoche Lizaran (ASG) - from Urbizania Wanderers (ASG) to FC Torshavn
Erramun Echebarria (ASG) - from Sporting Iturributa (ASG) to Yuzhny Equinox FC
So, a handful of Terns moved to Erathore, a handul of international players moved in. Some promising youngsters moved abroad, some promising youngsters moved in. And Atletik Thessia emptied half their youth team into Aasiaat. Business as usual, then.

Past Champions
I: SK Franz Josef City
II: SK Franz Josef City (2)
III: Jan Mayen Islanders
IV: Jan Mayen Islanders (2)
V: East Franz Athletic
VI: SK Franz Josef City (3)

SK Franz Josef City
Location: Franz Josef City, Franz Josef
Stadium: Landstadt Stadion (54,195)
Manager: Teemu Johansson
Captain: Maarten Berg, DC
Key Player: Dei Ormache (AST), ST
Preview: How do you replace a man like Maarten Berg? Easy. You buy Mytanar defender Hannes Urz and persuade Berg to stay on for one more season as the new man learns the ropes. And that's exactly what's going to happen here. Berg, Urz, and Ljungberg will all be essential to any success the Griffons have as they attempt to retain the title they won so satisfyingly last season. Ormache comes into the season carrying a niggling injury, but as he approaches 100 goals for the team, his motivation will be sky-high.
Last Season: Champions.
Prediction: Teemu Johansson is a man on a mission, he's after title number four. 1st.

East Franz Athletic
Location: Franz Josef City, Franz Josef
Stadium: Rendahl Stadion (47,911)
Manager: Manganus Fjelden
Captain: Henning Blonqvist, ST
Key Player: Henning Tir, MC
Preview: Fjelden has taken this squad into the place it wants to be, top of the league. Berghoff and Blonqvist continue to have an almost telepathic relationship, and Diedrich Kvitchenko is one of the most exciting youth prospects in the entire league. They do appear to be happy with their current squad, and much to their fans' disappointment have not made any signings that will challenge the first team. Demy de Zooijt will be key to their performance this season, the young Mytanar keeper showing just what he was capable of last season, as will key man Henning Tir. A marvellous set of understated lynchpin performances last season won him many plaudits from critics and supporters alike.
Last Season: 2nd.
Prediction: With no signings to gel with the team, they will be a force to be reckoned with this season. 2nd.

FC Cape St Paul
Location: St Paul, Nunivak
Stadium: Millerntor Arena (41,592)
Manager: Baum St Weiss
Captain: Havlock Thompson, ST
Key Player: Gunnar Mackenzie (BLK), ST
Preview: If there is a 'big three', St Paul are the closest team to breaking that up. They slotted in nicely into the Globe Cup spots last season, taking advantage of Jan Mayen's wobble to finish an impressive third. There is real quality in this squad, with the midfield in particular impressive. Baum St Weiss and Jan Mayen Islanders continue to find themselves courting the same column inches in the tabloids, despite St Weiss continually denying any speculation he is after a move.
Last Season: 3rd.
Prediction: Hard to see them breaking the top three again despite their squad, but still a cut above most. 4th.

Jan Mayen Islanders
Location: Jan Mayen, Norscelt
Stadium: Victoria Stadium (51,293)
Manager: Nicolaj Koch
Captain: Niko Marek, DC
Key Player: Filip Bosc (MYT), DMC
Preview: Hugely disappointing for the Islanders last season as they finished fourth, despite what is widely accepted to be the best midfield in the league. Nicolaj Koch's career at the club is in the balance, and another unimpressive season will surely see him without a job. Niko Marek will be looking to retire at some point in the seasons to come, and in preparation for that moment key signings have been made in the shape of highly rated Swartaz youngster Henrik Litremmen and the versatile Erathi Vanni del Naran. Good signings defensively, but the key men for them all lie in the midfield. If Bosc, Hastings, Lja, Krivac, and Eygenroy play to their strengths, they'll soar.
Last Season: 4th.
Prediction: Koch needs to get his men motivated to save his job, but they still look nervy to me. 3rd.

FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Location: Bjarnarey, Norscelt
Stadium: The Barge (28,441)
Manager: Thomas Celik
Captain: Eric Mallstrom, DC
Key Player: Frodi Rasmussen (SAU), DC
Preview: Well if you thought it was weird last time it's going to look weird this time too. Bjarnarey, that floating town of barges and launches and pilots and boats and all sort of walkways, are still in the top flight. Not only that, they confounded the predictions that their second season would see them plummet by actually improving on their sixth place finish to snatch a Globe Cup spot in fifth. They got annihilated, predictably, but it is a huge credit to manager Thomas Celik that the squad have been able to achieve that.
Last Season: 5th.
Prediction: Not again, surely not again... 10th.

Scapa Bay Rovers
Location: Scapa Bay, Farosea
Stadium: Fleet Road (29,424)
Manager: Doug Truro
Captain: Árni Estirac (CDP), DC
Key Player: Pavel Holtan, ST
Preview: Finally making the jump after threatening to for years, Scapa Bay Rovers hit the top division and stunned just about everyone. There always seems to be one team that comes up each season and contends for Globe Cup place, and last year Scapa Bay Rovers were that team. Cotdelapomais defender Estirac has made the defensive organisation his own, and Pavel Holtan is settling into his new side well. The question remains whether their strike force has enough bite though, with a the main backup sitting on the bench in the form of young starlet Tor van der Gauss.
Last Season: 6th.
Prediction: I have a sneaky suspicion they'll be fine once again. 11th.

North Star Grímsey
Location: Grímsey, Norscelt
Stadium: Steffansen Lane (32,492)
Manager: Cristof Helm
Captain: Patrik Lindegaard, ST
Key Player: Kwame Traore (DJR), DC
Preview: A much more comfortable season last time around after a previous relegation scare, North Star remain pretty unpredictable. Lindegaard keeps his captaincy by just a whisker, whilst the first Djocorangan in the league, Kwame Traore, will look to show opposition strikers that there are taller people than Polarians out there - at 6ft10, don't expect North Star to concede many from set pieces this season.
Last Season: 7th.
Prediction: Should be safer this season, though nothing is certain. 9th.

Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Location: Resolute, Victorrinn
Stadium: Mossy Park (42,920)
Manager: Oleg Seedorf
Captain: Hakke Vestoriko, ML
Key Player: Vagn Rosenmeyer(BLK), ST
Preview: Well, they're getting better after a few seasons of wobbles. Vestoriko is maturing well into his new role as captain, and Vagn Rosenmeyer is now a feature on fantasy football charts across the country, but they need to replace Tiko Logan in gola badly, their current rotation of youth and reserve goalkeepers won't win them any trophies this season.
Last Season: 8th.
Prediction: If they replace Logan well, the combination of strong defence and Rosenmeyer could see a return to form. 6th.

FC Axel Heiburg
Location: Axel Heiburg, Axel Heiburg
Stadium: Axel Torvig Park (25,195)
Manager: Morten Rasmussen
Captain: Pekka Silvennsson, ML
Key Player: Vyacheslav Merkens (MYT), MC
Preview: With the Haapa-Mechelin churning out talent regularly now, their financial future appears to be safe at last, and the team can start to build for the future. A planned stadium expansion is the least of it, and the signings of Merkens and van Schorel show intent, backing, and planning for the future. Wahlfleurs looks ready to go, and watch out for fleet-footed left winger Kjetil Huytspurr, who looks lets to make his big debut this season.
Last Season: 9th.
Prediction: If the youngsters gel well and keep their heads, they'll be a force to reckon with on their day. 7th.

FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Location: Surtsey, Norscelt
Stadium: Stadion Nom-Nom Solberg (45,924)
Manager: Anders Durs
Captain: Miroslav Bardsen, MR
Key Player: Casper Baek, MC
Preview: Anders Durs has crafted a side that is comfortable in possession and thoroughly difficult to break down if you have a chance with the ball. They may be too comfortable in possession howwever, and their critics will argue that a lack of potency up front will be their undoing. Legeren has gone to SK, and they are going to miss him dearly.
Last Season: 10th.
Prediction: I think they're due a good season, perhaps with a nice cup run built in. 5th.

Red Star Severny
Location: Severny, Novaya Zemlya
Stadium: Carravale (41,734)
Manager: Mathias Paatelainen
Captain: Adam Nicklas, ST
Key Player: Ole Smolensk, GK
Preview: Despite the size and enthusiasm of their support, Red Star continue to avoid investing in their squad, and a disappointing league position last season looks unlike to be improved upon. Mathias Paatelainen is a talented manager, and it's hard to see the man staying on for much longer with this much frustration around.
Last Season: 11th.
Prediction: Hard to see them reaching the Globe Cup spots for a while given the progression of the other teams. 8th

Islay Town Mechanical
Location: Islay, Terra Scotia
Stadium: The Workshop (35,992)
Manager: Mikkel Flo
Captain: Heimlich Boll, DC
Key Player: Gustav Celik, ST
Preview: Mikkel Flo must be the most wanted manager in the Federation. Three successive promotions have given way to hysteria at the Workshop as our southerly friends in Terra Scotia can't quite fathom that they've made it into Divisjon One and stayed there. Central defender Heimlich Boll is key at the back, whilst youth striker Topp could cause all manner of problems for other defences. Gustav Celik will remain the focus of attacks however, as he plays the lone striker role masterfully week after week.
Last Season: 12th.
Prediction: Could they stay up again? I think this may be one season too many for the Mechanics. 15th.

FC Torshavn
Location: Torshavn, Farosea
Stadium: Taugen Park (28,291)
Manager: Olaf Kurfuroy
Captain: Sivert Petterson, DC
Key Player: Michael Osic (ERA), ST
Preview: Powered by the goals of young Erathi cult hero Michael Osic, FC Torshavn were involved in last day drama last season, securing the points that saw RSK Longyearbyen Town relegated at their expense. Torre Urfstadt continues to hint at a move to a bigger club, but with Heine and Osic leading the frontline now, he feels inspired to lead the backline.
Last Season: 13th.
Prediction: Could remain safe, but it'll be close. 12th.

Yuzhny Equinox FC
Location: Yuzhny, Novaya Zemlya
Stadium: Commerce Park (29,492)
Manager: Michael Knudsen
Captain: Dmitri Karlsson, GK
Key Player: Sacha Hoem, MC
Preview: It has to be said, when they went down last season, they didn't panic. Michael Knudsen kept his job, as did most of the players, and as such they annihilated the opposition to finish clear winners of Divisjon Two by 18 points. Dmitri Karlsson, despite losing his first-choice position with the Terns, remains a leader on the pitch for his boyhood team, and has been rewarded for his loyalty on relegation with an extended contract, and new signing Echebarria from Sporting Iturributa will be aiming to keep things tight at the back.
Last Season: Champions, Divisjon Two.
Prediction: It will be close, but they should have enough not to go back down again. 13th.

Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Location: Barentsberg, Svalbard
Stadium: Lokomotiv Park (25,945)
Manager: Srdjan Hansen
Captain: Tim Skovgaard, GK
Key Player: Ivan Hassan, ST
Preview: Stunned the league to finish second in Divisjon Two last season, ensuring them a berth in Divisjon One for this season. Ivan Hassan is an undisputed talent, but will the team as a whle adjust quickly enough to life in the top flight? Not sure they have the resources to compete here I'm afraid.
Last Season: 2nd, Divisjon Two.
Prediction: This could get embarrassing. 16th.

Koppen Rig Force
Location: Torshavn, Farosea
Stadium: Pad Lane (30,491)
Manager: Ken Rilkern
Captain: Berg Bredesen, MC
Key Player: Zacharias Juul, DR
Preview: With all the pomp surrounding Yuzhny, and all the surprise surrounding Barentsberg, Koppen Rig Force have quietly assumed their position back in the top tier without much fuss. Whether they'll be strong enough to stay in the division this time remains to be seen, but the performances of Zacharias Juul have everyone talking. The return of the Torshavn derby to the top flight is one to be relished.
Last Season: 3rd, Divisjon Two
Prediction: Will fight with grit and determination the whole way, but maybe just not strong enough. 14th.

SEASON THIRTEEN: PART TWO

MATCHDAY 11
The chasing pack begin to get strung out, but leaders Ousevale are on fine form, putting six past poor Linford without reply. Telecontarë and Iskara Daii keep pace with narrow victories.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 6-0 AFC Linford
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Iskara Daii
New Cefn Albion 0-1 Telecontarë
Hecia 1-3 Royal Emberton
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-2 Avidia United
Stanton Town 1-2 Mercia Bromham
Penningworth United 3-1 Foxchester Raiders
Hallad Reavers 1-0 Emberton Reds
Port Cythera 1-1 Corinthian Spirits
Vecchio Victors 1-1 Kallia United

MATCHDAY 12
It's not often that the spotlight is taken away from the Beck Classico (for the record, Ousevale beat the Daii 2-0) but the place to be was undoubtedly the Ectar Traxx, as Foxchester and Cedrus had a ten-goal feast, and the Raiders had three points for dessert to soar to fourth. Lower down, there was an unexpected defeat for the Spirits, as they went down hard against Penningworth. Oh, and Telecontarë's nil-all with Linford raises the Woodsmen out of the bottom three, and gives Boro a three-point advantage at the top.

Results:
Iskara Daii 0-2 Ousevale Borough
Telecontarë 0-0 AFC Linford
Royal Emberton 2-1 Casuals Osteria
Avidia United 2-1 New Cefn Albion
Mercia Bromham 4-2 Hecia
Foxchester Raiders 6-4 Cedrus Soundgardia
Emberton Reds 1-0 Stanton Town
Corinthian Spirits 1-4 Penningworth United
Kallia United 0-4 Hallad Reavers
Vecchio Victors 1-1 Port Cythera

COPA CALANIA ROUND TWO
The big guns enter the Copa, and there's a few heading straight for the exit door. Foxchester were the victims of a Mercia mugging (Krytenian Rovers, though, not Starblaydi Raiders), whilst New Cefn went down to Aigburth Athletic at ArenaWest. Ousevale were given a scare by Avidia City, whilst Port Cythera finally managed their first win of the season by eliminating Caversham.

Results:
NSE Kovenham 2-0 Hallad City
Penningworth United 1-0 Camberley Town
Penniton United 1-1 Sporting Salicus (1-2 AET)
Casuals Osteria 4-0 Oldbrook
Aylesford 0-3 Thackworth Rovers

Samosisos Blues 3-2 Phraen Palace
Iskara Daii 3-1 Vecchio Victors
Port Cythera 1-0 Caversham
Avidia City 2-2 Ousevale Borough (2-3 AET)

MATCHDAY 13
Avidia United finally start playing like...Avidia United with an eight-goal masterclass at Brecklands, whilst the meeting of the top two provides a win for Ousevale over Telecontarë, and a six point cushion. Not only that, but Foxchester and Mercia both win to leapfrog the elves into second and third respectively.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 2-1 Telecontarë
Iskara Daii 1-1 Royal Emberton
AFC Linford 2-8 Avidia United
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Mercia Bromham
New Cefn Albion 2-4 Foxchester Raiders
Hecia 1-1 Emberton Reds
Cedrus Soundgardia 0-1 Corinthian Spirits
Stanton Town 1-0 Kallia United
Penningworth United 1-0 Vecchio Victors
Hallad Reavers 0-0 Port Cythera

MATCHDAY 14
Sometimes, the league throws you a nugget of a surprise result. Occasionally, it'll completely gum up the works. This was one of those days. Royal Emberton inflicted the Tigers' first defeat of the season at "Fortress Oxley", and in a day to forget for the teams from Nova Mercia, the Midlanders were hit for six by Iskara Daii. Foxchester and Telecontarë, meanwhile, both won to cut the gap to three points.

Results:
Royal Emberton 1-0 Ousevale Borough
Avidia United 2-4 Telecontarë
Mercia Bromham 0-6 Iskara Daii
Foxchester Raiders 2-0 AFC Linford
Emberton Reds 3-1 Casuals Osteria
Corinthian Spirits 4-0 New Cefn Albion
Kallia United 0-0 Hecia
Vecchio Victors 1-2 Cedrus Soundgardia
Port Cythera 0-1 Stanton Town
Hallad Reavers 1-0 Penningworth United

MATCHDAY 15
OK, that's it, this season's gone completely batguano insane. Ousevale lose their second in a row, as WKW's Eagles swoop for three points at the Southern Arena, whilst Foxchester and the elves share a point apiece. Corinthian Spirits take advantage, pillaging the Linford defence for seven and nestling themselves into third place.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 0-1 Avidia United
Royal Emberton 3-1 Mercia Bromham
Telecontarë 2-2 Foxchester Raiders
Iskara Daii 2-4 Emberton Reds
AFC Linford 1-7 Corinthian Spirits
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Kallia United
New Cefn Albion 0-0 Vecchio Victors
Hecia 1-2 Port Cythera
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-0 Hallad Reavers
Stanton Town 1-0 Penningworth United

MATCHDAY 16
The more this season continues, the less it makes sense. Ousevale lose their third on the trot - and in the Mercian Derby, no less - and Telecontarë pass them with a smug smile on their face and a 4-1 hammering of the Spirits. Foxchester fall to Avidia United, and that hiccough allows the Daii to overtake them into third. There was also an Emberton derby in there somewhere, I think.

Results:
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Ousevale Borough
Foxchester Raiders 3-4 Avidia United
Emberton Reds 1-0 Royal Emberton
Corinthian Spirits 1-4 Telecontarë
Kallia United 1-2 Iskara Daii
Vecchio Victors 1-3 AFC Linford
Port Cythera 1-3 Casuals Osteria
Hallad Reavers 2-1 New Cefn Albion
Penningworth United 0-1 Hecia
Stanton Town 1-1 Cedrus Soundgardia

MATCHDAY 17
Ousevale get back to winning ways against Foxchester, whilst Tele stay top with a win over Vecchio. Mercia's 3-0 over the Reds puts them back in a Champions' Cup spot - for this week at least...and say it quietly, but Avidia are scaling the table again, a win over Corinth lifting them to sixth.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 1-0 Foxchester Raiders
Mercia Bromham 3-0 Emberton Reds
Avidia United 3-1 Corinthian Spirits
Royal Emberton 3-1 Kallia United
Telecontarë 1-0 Vecchio Victors
Iskara Daii 4-0 Port Cythera
AFC Linford 3-1 Hallad Reavers
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Penningworth United
New Cefn Albion 1-1 Stanton Town
Hecia 1-0 Cedrus Soundgardia

MATCHDAY 18
Vecchio's "Victors" moniker is looking more and more ironic by the week. Having only one one game all season so far, Avidia heap on the misery by thrashing them 7-0. At the top, Tele open the gap to three points with a win over Hallad, whilst Ousevale manage only to please the neutrals, tying 4-4 at the Isserson.

Results:
Emberton Reds 4-4 Ousevale Borough
Corinthian Spirits 0-0 Foxchester Raiders
Kallia United 0-1 Mercia Bromham
Vecchio Victors 0-7 Avidia United
Port Cythera 1-0 Royal Emberton
Hallad Reavers 0-2 Telecontarë
Penningworth United 2-1 Iskara Daii
Stanton Town 3-1 AFC Linford
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-2 Casuals Osteria
Hecia 1-1 New Cefn Albion

COPA CALANIA ROUND THREE
Shocks? Oh, we've got your shocks right here. League leaders Telecontarë are gone, taken down by Segunda side Thackworth, whilst Foxchester (Raiders this time, obviously) are also out to Segunda opposition, Jhanna City getting the better of them in extra time. Tomato-hued faces all round, though, for Avidia United. They visited Liga Starblaydia side Tabeck Cefn Druids...and lost, two-one. For shame, Warren.

Results:
Norton 0-1 Viculus Miners
Hallad Reavers 1-0 Caledon Simpson
Locomotive Wolverton 1-0 Aigburth Athletic
Tournetas 1-0 Secklow
Sporting Salicus 1-2 NSE Kovenham
Ousevale Borough 2-1 Lavingrad Wanderers
Samosisos Blues 0-4 Mercia Bromham
Corinthian Spirits 1-0 Port Cythera
Foxchester Raiders 1-1 Jhanna City (1-2 AET)
Tabeck Cefn Druids 2-1 Avidia United
Royal Emberton 1-0 Cedrus Soundgardia
Hecia 0-1 Penningworth United
AFC Linford 3-0 Neathill
Thackworth Rovers 1-0 Telecontarë
Iskara Daii 3-0 Kallia United
Casuals Osteria 1-1 Bromham City (2-1 AET)

MATCHDAY 19
Rather disappointingly, the top three all managed to win this week. Don't worry though, because Avidia are continuing to make the season interesting, their 4-0 win over Hallad taking them fourth on goal difference, despite the Daii's win over Cedru Soundgardia.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 3-2 Corinthian Spirits
Emberton Reds 2-1 Kallia United
Foxchester Raiders 3-2 Vecchio Victors
Mercia Bromham 3-0 Port Cythera
Avidia United 4-0 Hallad Reavers
Royal Emberton 1-1 Penningworth United
Telecontarë 2-0 Stanton Town
Iskara Daii 4-2 Cedrus Soundgardia
AFC Linford 2-1 Hecia
Casuals Osteria 3-3 New Cefn Albion

Ten matches into the league season, lets have a quick summary of what has happened so far...

MATCHDAY 1
Red Star Severny 1-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 0-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
East Franz Athletic 4-2 Koppen Rig Force
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-1 FC Axel Heiburg
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 1-0 FC Cape St Paul
FC Torshavn 1-1 Islay Town Mechanical
SK Franz Josef City 3-1 Jan Mayen Islanders
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-2 North Star Grímsey
Slam! Why beat around the bush? Let's get right in there and get straight to business with a title six pointer on the opening day. Despite Krivac and Eygenroy combining well for the opening, Jan Mayen failed to hold the doors at the Landstadt, and two goals from Ormache and a late goal from Wunderlich mean SK Franz Josef City claim an early, important scalp in their hunt to retain the title. Two goals each from, who else, Blonqvist and Berghoff ensure its a harsh welcome back for Koppen Rig against East Franz Athletic, but Lokomotiv Barentsberg cause headlines by stunning Resolute Storm on their first fixture.

MATCHDAY 2
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-2 Red Star Severny
Koppen Rig Force 0-3 Yuzhny Equinox FC
FC Axel Heiburg 0-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
FC Cape St Paul 2-0 East Franz Athletic
Islay Town Mechanical 4-0 Scapa Bay Rovers
Jan Mayen Islanders 4-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
North Star Grímsey 0-2 FC Torshavn
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 SK Franz Josef City
After such a promising start, SK undo all their good work by letting too many mistakes slip into their game. Jens Forgrossand is nobody's fool though, and he pounced on some nervy errors from Hannes Urz to score the winner with three minutes of normal time remaining. East Franz also lose momentum with a 2-0 loss away in St Paul, Mackenzie and Welton with the goals. Gustav Celik scores the first hat trick of the season for Islay Town Mechanical as they send Scapa Bay Rovers packing, whilst Nicolaj Koch shows there's nothing wrong with his team spirit, leading his squad to a 4-0 demolition of Surtsey.

MATCHDAY 3
Red Star Severny 1-0 Koppen Rig Force
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-1 FC Axel Heiburg
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-2 FC Cape St Paul
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 3-0 Islay Town Mechanical
East Franz Athletic 4-0 Jan Mayen Islanders
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-0 North Star Grímsey
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 3-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
FC Torshavn 1-1 SK Franz Josef City
Well the league hasn't lost any drama in the off-season, I'll give it that. Axel Heiburg continue their quiet confident start to the season with a first goal for the club for Merkens at Barentsberg. SK lose yet more momentum with another disappointing result on the road, with Michael Osic scoring an equaliser in the second half to cancel out what was Amadeus Irndtor's first goal of the season. Jan Mayen have been comprehensibly beaten in the capital again however, with their second trip in three weeks leading to a 4-0 defeat at the Rendahl. Blonqvist, Berghoff, Tir, and Gyulla with the goals, and East Franz are looking strong this season.

MATCHDAY 4
FC Axel Heiburg 3-1 Red Star Severny
FC Cape St Paul 0-1 Koppen Rig Force
Islay Town Mechanical 4-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Jan Mayen Islanders 2-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
North Star Grímsey 0-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 0-3 East Franz Athletic
SK Franz Josef City 2-2 Scapa Bay Rovers
FC Torshavn 2-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Another week, another clean sheet for Demy de Zooijt for East Franz, a superb performance from the Mytanar ensuring they keep Bjarnarey at bay at The Barge, and they extend their lead over SK as the nerves extend to the Landstadt now. Irndtor scores again, and Dei Ormache reaches the edge of a cliff by scoring his 99th goal for the club, but more mistakes at the back give Scapa Bay a way into the game on two occasions and they come away from the Landstadt with a point. Forgrossand heaps a bit more misery on the shoulders of Barentsberg with a first half hat trick as the Mechanics win 4-0 at the Workshop. Yuzhny lose against Jan Mayen, but Zacharias Juul provides a light for promoted clubs by scoring the only goal of the game as Koppen Rig Force snatch all three points from the Millerntor.

MATCHDAY 5
Red Star Severny 1-3 FC Cape St Paul
FC Axel Heiburg 3-2 Islay Town Mechanical
Koppen Rig Force 1-1 Jan Mayen Islanders
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-1 North Star Grímsey
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-2 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-3 SK Franz Josef City
East Franz Athletic 2-0 FC Torshavn
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Stop the presses, SK are winning again. Wunderlich and Irndtor start together after injury rules Ormache out of the hunt for his 100th goal for the Griffons. Goals from Irndtor, Tomas Sivoli, and a first goal for the club for Zorion Legeren are enough however, as Rosenmeyer manages just the one goal in response for Resolute Storm, who are not having a fun season so far at all. Zacharias Juul just loves the big games, doesn't he? A stunning display from the right back ensures Jan Mayen are held to just the one goal at Pad Lane, with both teams getting a share of the points. There is late drama at Axel Torvig Park however, as two late goals from Wahlfleurs and van Schorel look like snatching a draw for FC Axel Heiburg after Lecuyer's double for Islay Town. They weren't finished yet however, and late substitute Kjetil Huytspurr cut in from the left wing before unleashing a beautiful curling shot that nestled in the top corner and secured all three points for FC Axel Heiburg. Watch out for this youngster, a huge future awaits I'm sure.

A quick break for the Latitude Cup then, as the Challenge League teams kick things off in the Qualifying Round. Many teams at this level are about the same level of competency, so there were no real surprise results on show.

MATCHDAY 6
Islay Town Mechanical 2-6 Red Star Severny
Jan Mayen Islanders 2-2 FC Cape St Paul
North Star Grímsey 3-3 FC Axel Heiburg
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 Koppen Rig Force
SK Franz Josef City 2-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
FC Torshavn 2-2 Yuzhny Equinox FC
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 1-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-6 East Franz Athletic
Having had last weekend off to allow the focus to lie on the Latitude Cup, the teams appear to be venting their pent up frustrations, as the league goes a little goal crazy. Red Star Severny rack up a 6-2 away from home at the Workshop, and a hat trick from Henning Blonqvist helps East Franz to a 6-1 win in Scapa Bay. SK squeak past Barentsberg with a late winner from Sivoli, but still no 100th goal for Ormache, Jan Mayen and FC Cape St Paul share the points after an engaging draw at Victoria Stadium. But the match of the day involves FC Axel Heiburg once again, as they just refuse to accept when they're beaten. This time goals from Ljunggren, van der Zwan, and Egeberg ensure they come from behind three times against North Star to snatch a point.

MATCHDAY 7
Red Star Severny 1-5 Jan Mayen Islanders
Islay Town Mechanical 0-3 North Star Grímsey
FC Cape St Paul 1-1 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
FC Axel Heiburg 3-4 SK Franz Josef City
Koppen Rig Force 5-0 FC Torshavn
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 2-3 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Yuzhny Equinox FC 2-0 Scapa Bay Rovers
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-0 East Franz Athletic
Kjetil Huytspurr continues to make a name for himself at Axel Heiburg, coming on to score a wonderful solo goal in the dying minutes of the home tie against SK Franz Josef City. In the end it was little more than a consolation goal, as SK's 4-2 lead at the point proved unassailable. Ljungberg, Meolans, Kjaer and Wunderlick scored the goals for SK, as Ormache continues to be stuck on goal number 99. Koppen Rig Force blew Torshavn away in the Docklands Derby, a stunning 5-0 win sending the Torshavn fans back to the south side of the city with their tails between their legs. Filip Bosc got off the mark in emphatic fashion for Jan Mayen however, scoring twice and providing the assists for Eygenroy, Valcárcel, and Krivac. 5-1 the final score in Severny.

MATCHDAY 8
North Star Grímsey 1-1 Red Star Severny
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 0-3 Jan Mayen Islanders
SK Franz Josef City 1-0 Islay Town Mechanical
FC Torshavn 1-1 FC Cape St Paul
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 4-1 FC Axel Heiburg
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-4 Koppen Rig Force
East Franz Athletic 4-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 0-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
He's done it. Dei Ormache, the Astograthi hero of Landstadt Stadion, has done it. 100 goals for the club, each as vital as the last, have ensured he will forever take his place in the history books in the capital. This one, and 20-yard bullet from the corner of the box that left the Islay defence with no chance whatsoever. Points in the bag, record acquired, Dei Ormache celebrated in front of his adoring fans. East Franz weren't content with this however, and their own strike force attempted to steal the limelight in a 4-0 demolition of Lokomotiv, Berghoff, Blonqvist, and then a Kcvitchenko double sealing the points. Jan Mayen produced a confident disply to take the points home from Bjarnarey, and the head of Kwame Traore secured a draw for North Star at home to Red Star, but the day belonged to one man, and one man alone. Hats off to the legend.

MATCHDAY 9
Red Star Severny 1-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
North Star Grímsey 0-1 SK Franz Josef City
Jan Mayen Islanders 4-0 FC Torshavn
Islay Town Mechanical 3-1 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
FC Cape St Paul 3-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
FC Axel Heiburg 2-4 East Franz Athletic
Koppen Rig Force 2-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC
Filip Bosc is already a legend in the eyes of Jan Mayen fans, but what he did today will only endear them to him further. All four assists and a commanding midfield display ensured FC Torshavn were sent packing. Koppen Rig picked up three precious points with a win over Resolute Storm at home, Juul running the show as per usual at Pad Lane East Franz came from 2-0 down to win 4-2 at FC Axel Heiburg, who hit the woodwork three times in the second half, and a double from Soreasu and a free kick from Welton meant St Paul blew Scapa Bay away in just ten first half minutes, from which only a consolation goal emerged in response from Holtan.

MATCHDAY 10
SK Franz Josef City 1-2 Red Star Severny
FC Torshavn 3-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 2-1 North Star Grímsey

Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-0 FC Axel Heiburg
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-1 Koppen Rig Force
Muño Valcárcel's late goal at Scapa Bay plucked three points from the jaws of a draw for Jan Mayen, meaning they keep ground with the leaders after SK couldn't build on Ormache's 101st goal to create a victory, allowing Red Star two opportunities that they gladly took to obtain three more points for the tally. East Franz relied on Diedrich Kvitchenko for a winner after Henning Blonqvist picked up a second yellow for his extravagant goal celebration with the fans at the Rendahl. Chueran scored a fine free kick for St Paul, breaking the solid Resolute defence that had stood firm for seventy minutes in the face of an onslaught, and incredibly that is St Paul's twelfth different goalscorer in fifteen league goals so far this season.

A third of the way into the season, East Franz top the table after showing just how hard they are to score against once again - only St Paul and Resolute have conceded fewer goals so far this season. SK and Jan Mayen lead the chasing pack from four points behind, and Surtsey are showing the critics why they were right to back them pre-season with a strong showing so far. St Paul also sit on eighteen points, and both are being chased hard by a Red Star Severny that seems to have taken over from Longyearbyen as the division's most unpredictable team. Of the promoted teams, Lokomotiv haven't won since the first day of the season, and lie rooted to the bottom of the table with the rest of the season stretching ominously out in front of them. Yuzhny Equinox have adapted quickly back to life in the top flight, with Echebarria proving a key defensive signing so far, and Koppen Rig Force sit comfortably in seventh after some stunning performances by Zacharias Juul that means even more big teams are now keeping tabs on the youngster. North Star and Resolute Storm will be a bit too close to the bottom of the league for comfort.

In Divisjon Two, Severnaya Zemlya have stunned just about everybody by maintaining an unbeaten record this far into the season, building up a comfortable lead over the chasing pack. Solovetsky and Longyearbyen are both making strong cases for re-promotion, whilst Hoyvik Town appear to have finally rebuilt their team and their fortunes. AK Aasiaat Harbour are languishing disappointingly in mid-table, whilst Novaya Sibir Reds, Sporting Juura, and Atammik Zenith currently occupy the drop zone.

In Divisjon Three, Rapid Jan Mayen are leading the way, playing heads and shoulders above most teams so far, but just not getting the rub of the green when it matters, meaning they are still well within reach of the rest of the division. The up and down nature for many teams threatens to continue, as the drop zone lurks dangerously close for many.

FSF 989-990 Season

Harlighet Ligan
The Harlighet Ligan (The Glory League) is the highest tier of the FSF. Harlighet Ligan consists of 16 teams, with each one playing 30 games - two against each opponent. This season, OAS Royal FC claimed their third Ligan Championship in club history, earning another try at the TakilQuip Champions' Cup. OAS didn't have competition for first place, with second-place Mallox finishing eight points behind. OAS Royal FC is returning to the TQCC after a four year absence from the competition. Kaldukosk FC and Ramusok United took the third and fourth spots, respectively, and will be entering the Globe Cup. This will be Ramusok's first entry into a UICA event. Traditional powerhouse Eastweald had it's worst season in club history, finishing 10th. This is the first time the club has missed the Globe Cup for consecutive seasons. Long-time Harlighet Ligan members Samaj FC and Centus FC have been shockingly relegated after poor seasons.

Sekundar Ligan
Sekundar Ligan is the second tier of the FSF. All 16 teams in the league are fighting for the two coveted promotion slots, making it an intense league to follow. Sekundar Ligan's season consists of 30 games, two games against each opponent. This season, the Zakhoro Aces won the SL crown and will be returning to Harlighet Ligan after being relegated last season. Vesriaville finished in 2nd and also earned a promotion back to Harlighet Ligan, also after being relegated last season. The two previously mentioned teams, as well as 3rd place finisher West Gundar FC and surprise 4th place finisher Dusk Athletic, will be competing in the Series B Cup of Champions. This will be Dusk Athletic's first UICA tournament. FC Cirdaw, projected champions, finished shockingly low at 7th place. Crusaders is being relegated from Sekundar Ligan for the first time in club history, while newcomer Goldstaff City is being relegated back to Tredje Ligan after only one season in Sekundar.

Tredje Ligan
Tredje Ligan is the third tier of the FSF. Tredje Ligan consists of 16 teams, with each playing 30 games - two against each opponent. This season, Pelethas United (formerly of Sekundar Ligan) won a Tredje Championship and promotion. No surprise there. The real surprise is who claimed second place. Projected to finish 9th place, Regela United exceeded all expectations by claiming 2nd place, and will be joining Sekundar Ligan next season. Yambridge FC underachieved by finishing 8th, while Treftadaeth continued their downward spiral finishing lower than ever at 7th. Newcomer Nuur United will be relegated back to the Lagre Ligans, as will the Felton Sailors.

SEASON THIRTEEN: PART THREE

MATCHDAY 20
We begin the second half of the season...completely the opposite to how we finished the first. Avidia's mini-revival gets a Stanton-shaped torpedo to the midsection, whilst leaders Tele can only muster a draw against lowly Hecia. Mercia and Ousevale both collect easy threes to get close enough to the top that the elves can feel their acidic Mercian breath.

Results:
Kallia United 0-3 Ousevale Borough
Vecchio Victors 2-3 Corinthian Spirits
Port Cythera 2-2 Emberton Reds
Hallad Reavers 0-2 Foxchester Raiders
Penningworth United 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Stanton Town 2-1 Avidia United
Cedrus Soundgardia 0-1 Royal Emberton
Hecia 1-1 Telecontarë
New Cefn Albion 1-1 Iskara Daii
Casuals Osteria 0-1 AFC Linford

MATCHDAY 21
Well done Vecchio: you've broken the league. Somehow, bottom side Victors managed to plunder three points from Ousevale - at the Southern Arena, no less - and are bottom no longer, replaced by New Cefn. Telecontarë's win extends their lead at the top, but only to two points as Mercia's hammering of Cedrus puts them in second.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 2-3 Vecchio Victors
Kallia United 2-0 Port Cythera
Corinthian Spirits 2-1 Hallad Reavers
Emberton Reds 2-2 Penningworth United
Foxchester Raiders 3-2 Stanton Town
Mercia Bromham 4-1 Cedrus Soundgardia
Avidia United 1-0 Hecia
Royal Emberton 4-0 New Cefn Albion
Telecontarë 1-0 Casuals Osteria
Iskara Daii 0-1 AFC Linford

MATCHDAY 22
It's New Cefn Albion's turn to break the league this week, beating Mercia at Parc Abertawy, but it's not enough to lift them off the foot of the tabe. It is, however, enough to give Telecontarë a four-point lead at the top of the tree, after they defeated the Daii in their own backyard.

Results:
Port Cythera 1-3 Ousevale Borough
Hallad Reavers 1-2 Vecchio Victors
Penningworth United 0-1 Kallia United
Stanton Town 1-2 Corinthian Spirits
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-3 Emberton Reds
Hecia 1-1 Foxchester Raiders
New Cefn Albion 2-1 Mercia Bromham
Casuals Osteria 0-1 Avidia United
AFC Linford 0-3 Royal Emberton
Iskara Daii 1-2 Telecontarë

MATCHDAY 23
It's The Week No-One Wants To Win™!

Ousevale are held by Hallad at home, Tele can't get past the Royals at Oxley Park, and Mercia can't buy a goal against Linford. In all the confusion, Avidia grab a late winner against the Daii, and suddenly, they're in third place, just five points off the summit. It's going to be one of those seasons...

Results:
Ousevale Borough 1-1 Hallad Reavers
Port Cythera 2-0 Penningworth United
Vecchio Victors 0-2 Stanton Town
Kallia United 0-2 Cedrus Soundgardia
Corinthian Spirits 2-0 Hecia
Emberton Reds 2-0 New Cefn Albion
Foxchester Raiders 0-0 Casuals Osteria
Mercia Bromham 0-0 AFC Linford
Avidia United 3-2 Iskara Daii
Royal Emberton 2-2 Telecontarë

MATCHDAY 24
Avidia United, stop being so goddamn frustrating. The Eagles have their wings clipped against Royal Emberton, and they can only watch Tele and Ousevale scrape wins and toddle off into the distance. The fact that the elves' win was against Mercia does keep them third though.

Results:
Penningworth United 0-1 Ousevale Borough
Stanton Town 2-0 Hallad Reavers
Cedrus Soundgardia 3-3 Port Cythera
Hecia 1-1 Vecchio Victors
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Kallia United
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Corinthian Spirits
AFC Linford 0-4 Emberton Reds
Iskara Daii 1-1 Foxchester Raiders
Telecontarë 1-0 Mercia Bromham
Royal Emberton 3-2 Avidia United

COPA CALANIA ROUND FOUR
Sadly, the shocks of earlier rounds had to end somewhere, and they ended here. Kovenham were no match for Royal Emberton, whilst Locomotive Wolverton's adventure ended with a slaughtering at the Cygnus. Tournetas almost managed one, but the Daii held on and held their nerve in a shoot-out, and there will be a couple of teams from outside the top flight in the Liga. Jhanna City beat fellow Segunda side Thackworth, and Avidia's conquerors Tabeck Cefn Druids took care of the other Liga Starblaydia side left in the competition to book a place in the last eight.

Results:
Tabeck Cefn Druids 1-0 Viculus Miners
Penningworth United 2-1 Casuals Osteria
Thackworth Rovers 0-3 Jhanna City
Mercia Bromham 6-0 Locomotive Wolverton
Tournetas 1-1 Iskara Daii (1-1 AET, 2-3 PKs)
Ousevale Borough 1-0 Hallad Reavers
NSE Kovenham 0-3 Royal Emberton
Corinthian Spirits 1-0 AFC Linford

MATCHDAY 25
Nearly three-quarters of the way through the season, and the top of the table is finally beginning to take shape. Telecontarë draw with the Reds allows Ousevale to close the gap to two points with a win over Stanton; behind them, meanwhile, Avidia and Mercia draw putting six points between second and third, and none between third and fifth.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 4-0 Stanton Town
Penningworth United 1-2 Cedrus Soundgardia
Hallad Reavers 0-1 Hecia
Port Cythera 0-0 New Cefn Albion
Vecchio Victors 1-3 Casuals Osteria
Kallia United 3-0 AFC Linford
Corinthian Spirits 1-1 Iskara Daii
Emberton Reds 1-1 Telecontarë
Foxchester Raiders 1-0 Royal Emberton
Mercia Bromham 2-2 Avidia United

MATCHDAY 26
Ousevale and Telecontarë both win comfortably, and their meeting in a few weeks' time is looking more and more like a title decider as the games pass. Behind them, on the other hand...Avidia lose to the Reds, Foxchester and Mercia draw with each other, and there's now only five points between third and ninth. Predict the Champions' Cup spots at your peril, people.

Results:
Cedrus Soundgardia 0-2 Ousevale Borough
Hecia 2-0 Stanton Town
New Cefn Albion 1-2 Penningworth United
Casuals Osteria 4-2 Hallad Reavers
AFC Linford 1-0 Port Cythera
Iskara Daii 3-1 Vecchio Victors
Telecontarë 4-1 Kallia United
Royal Emberton 4-0 Corinthian Spirits
Avidia United 0-1 Emberton Reds
Mercia Bromham 0-0 Foxchester Raiders

MATCHDAY 27
The top two are boring and win, but it's all change yet again. The Reds beat the Raiders, Mercia and Corinth share a point each, and Avidia win over Kallia to take third. Oh, and there's now only four points between third and ninth.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 1-0 Hecia
Cedrus Soundgardia 3-3 New Cefn Albion
Stanton Town 0-2 Casuals Osteria
Penningworth United 2-1 AFC Linford
Hallad Reavers 0-4 Iskara Daii
Port Cythera 0-3 Telecontarë
Vecchio Victors 3-0 Royal Emberton
Kallia United 1-3 Avidia United
Corinthian Spirits 1-1 Mercia Bromham
Emberton Reds 3-2 Foxchester Raiders

MATCHDAY 28
Some results defy an explanation, so I wil simply say this:

New Cefn Albion four, Ousevale Borough one.

We're just gonna go ahead and stick the navy and white ribbons on the trophy now, K?

Results:
New Cefn Albion 4-1 Ousevale Borough
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Hecia
AFC Linford 2-1 Cedrus Soundgardia
Iskara Daii 5-2 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 29
Ousevale ship four for the second week in a row; luckily for them, Tele are downed by Cedrus. Yup, this season's still chock full o' crazy. Foxchester are also chock full o' something, as they put eight past hapless Port Cythera.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 2-4 Casuals Osteria
New Cefn Albion 1-0 AFC Linford

Sorthern Football League – 2058 season, part one

Sciath Uachtaráin

The daffodils are blooming, the lambs are crying for their mams, a new generation of cygnets are terrorising the waterways and twenty-two people are kicking a ball around James Connolly Stadium wishing they were somewhere – anywhere – else. Spring is in the air, and that means a new football season kicking off with the Sciath Uachtaráin!

With two teams who favour attacking football playing the few people who mustered any enthusiam were expecting a high scoring affair. Unfortunately for them the players hadn't mustered anything approaching enthusiasm with St. Pat's eventually labouring to a 1-0 win after the Hightop Hill goalkeeper got fed up and threw the ball into his own net with three minutes remaining.

Hightop Hill 0–1 St. Patrick's

Matchday one

A total of four 1-0s made this opening matchday a relatively low scoring one, with a couple of 1-1 draws thrown in for good measure. The big match was undoubtedly the clash between Beningrad and Corcaigh with the latter coming out winners. Whilst reputation will always see the two sides marked as title contenders anyone watching the match will have questioned just how much of a challenge either side is likely to put up. The conclusion should be that Corcaigh could well challenge, whilst Beningrad will be better off aiming for the Globe Cup at best. Through the Cup if they're lucky.

Reading Town 1–1 Bimlico
Heathfield United 4–2 Red Star Cork
Hightop Hill 4–4 An Blascaod Mór
Beningrad 0–1 Corcaigh
Juahzhou 0–3 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Floriana RMI 2–0 Workers United
East Reading 1–1 Bannabridge
Castrograd S.C. 0–1 Snowspire Communal
James Connolly S.C. 1–0 Areck Furness
Felland Marsh 0–1 Swinedon Town

Matchday two

Hightop Hill opened their title defence by dropping points with a draw, this week however they were back to their best, spanking Red Star Cork 6-1 away from home. Whilst still early days it will surely have sent a message out to those hoping to wrest the Cheeserollers crown. Bannabridge also picked up a similarly impressive win but no one's taking any notice of them.

Bimlico 0–2 Swinedon Town
Areck Furness 1–0 Felland Marsh
Snowspire Communal 0–1 James Connolly S.C.
Bannabridge 5–0 Castrograd S.C.
Workers United 4–1 East Reading
Sparrowbottom Athletic 1–0 Floriana RMI
Corcaigh 1–1 Juahzhou
An Blascaod Mór 0–2 Beningrad
Red Star Cork 1–6 Hightop Hill
Reading Town 4–1 Heathfield United

Matchday three

That Felland Marsh's goal against tally jumped from two to eight in a single week will be a cause for concern. It was Snowspire Communal who came to plunder them though perhaps surprisingly they aren't the early season top scorers. James Connolly however are the only team with a 100% record left after Swinedon Town and Sparrowbottom Athletic fell to defeats. Hightop Hill however remain unbeaten.

Heathfield United 3–1 Bimlico
Hightop Hill 3–1 Reading Town
Beningrad 4–0 Red Star Cork
Juahzhou 2–1 An Blascaod Mór
Floriana RMI 5–0 Corcaigh
East Reading 3–0 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Castrograd S.C. 2–0 Workers United
James Connolly S.C. 3–1 Bannabridge
Felland Marsh 0–8 Snowspire Communal
Swinedon Town 0–1 Areck Furness

Matchday four

A defeat may mean that Felland Marsh still remain without success so far this season, but they have at the least finally managed to trouble the scorers having scored their first goal of the season in their match with Bannabridge (who we're still not paying attention to, even if the promoted side are in sixth). Meanwhile the champions suffered their first defeat of the season at The Causeway, losing 2-1 to Heathfield United.

Bimlico 1–0 Areck Furness
Snowspire Communal 1–0 Swinedon Town
Bannabridge 2–1 Felland Marsh
Workers United 0–2 James Connolly S.C.
Sparrowbottom Athletic 2–0 Castrograd S.C.
Corcaigh 1–0 East Reading
An Blascaod Mór 3–1 Floriana RMI
Red Star Cork 0–1 Juahzhou
Reading Town 1–0 Beningrad
Heathfield United 2–1 Hightop Hill

Matchday five

Look at 'em go! Having broken their goalscoring duck in the last weekend Felland Marsh finally have points on the board. Three of them! Greedy lads. Workers United were the generous lot who allowed the Marsh to defeat them, by a single goal in a dull game very befitting of two of the worst sides in the division as the current table is. The very worst side however remains Red Star Cork who following defeat to Floriana RMI remain pointless.

Hightop Hill 1–5 Bimlico
Beningrad 0–1 Heathfield United
Juahzhou 0–1 Reading Town
Floriana RMI 1–0 Red Star Cork
East Reading 5–0 An Blascaod Mór
Castrograd S.C. 3–0 Corcaigh
James Connolly S.C. 1–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Felland Marsh 1–0 Workers United
Swinedon Town 1–0 Bannabridge
Areck Furness 3–3 Snowspire Communal

Corn an Taoisigh first round

Where they played lesser teams the First Division teams by and large made it through to the second time, though perhaps not without a few palpitations in some cases. Beningrad and Hightop Hill both won 4-2 away to non-League opposition when they could have perhaps been more convincing. Felland Marsh and Swinedon Town meanwhile only defeated non-League opposition by a single goal, whilst An Blascaod Mór needed extra-time to get past Averwich Celtic, eventually doing so 3-1. Castrograd however will not be taking any further part in the cup having been beaten 3-2 by C.F. Septentrionien. The big match however was the Corcaigh derby, of which Red Star came out 1-0 winners. Even if they fail to translate the sort of result to their league form at least they'll have had some success this season.

Matchday six

Back on the first matchday we tipped Corcaigh as potential challengers for the title. Five more matches and that looks a rather daft pronouncement. The point they gained from a goalless draw with James Connolly was just eighth of the season and leaves them in thirteenth place. They can perhaps at least take some solace in their opponents of the day currently leading the table. Despite that though the performances thus far from Corcaigh have been well below what many have come to expect of them.

Bimlico 5–5 Snowspire Communal
Bannabridge 3–0 Areck Furness
Workers United 1–1 Swinedon Town
Sparrowbottom Athletic 0–3 Felland Marsh
Corcaigh 0–0 James Connolly S.C.
An Blascaod Mór 1–1 Castrograd S.C.
Red Star Cork 1–4 East Reading
Reading Town 0–0 Floriana RMI
Heathfield United 2–2 Juahzhou
Hightop Hill 3–1 Beningrad

Matchday seven

With only nine goals scored and just two conceded in the first seven matches James Connolly may not be the most exciting team. They have however been the most effective team so far with their 1-0 win over An Blascaod Mór extending their lead at the top of the table to three whole points. A 1-0 win over An Blascaod Mór may not sound wholly convincing but this is as good a time as any to throw in the champions play badly and win cliché isn't it? So, any bets on them losing next week?

Beningrad 5–0 Bimlico
Juahzhou 0–3 Hightop Hill
Floriana RMI 0–0 Heathfield United
East Reading 3–3 Reading Town
Castrograd S.C. 3–1 Red Star Cork
James Connolly S.C. 1–0 An Blascaod Mór
Felland Marsh 2–0 Corcaigh
Swinedon Town 2–2 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Areck Furness 2–1 Workers United
Snowspire Communal 3–0 Bannabridge

Matchday eight

If anyone did elect to play a bet on James Connolly losing, apologies. Though to be frank, a draw against Red Star Cork is hardly anything to shout about. Whilst pondering whether a < 1.5 goals bet on James Connolly, let's congratulate Red Star on getting their first point of the season. God knows they've given everyone else a hell of a headstart.

Bimlico 0–4 Bannabridge
Workers United 1–1 Snowspire Communal
Sparrowbottom Athletic 1–0 Areck Furness
Corcaigh 1–0 Swinedon Town
An Blascaod Mór 0–0 Felland Marsh
Red Star Cork 0–0 James Connolly S.C.
Reading Town 0–5 Castrograd S.C.
Heathfield United 1–1 East Reading
Hightop Hill 2–2 Floriana RMI
Beningrad 1–5 Juahzhou

Matchday nine

Once again, if anyone did place a bet on < 1.5 goals in the James Connolly match at our prompting, sorry. Despite their recent lack of wins they still remain top by three points. Snowspire Communal, another to pick up a habit of drawing in the last couple of weeks are that side in second place. Bannabridge meanwhile sit in third after beating Workers United. Perhaps someone should pay some attention to them, just for a bit?

Juahzhou 0–1 Bimlico
Floriana RMI 2–1 Beningrad
East Reading 4–3 Hightop Hill
Castrograd S.C. 1–0 Heathfield United
James Connolly S.C. 1–1 Reading Town
Felland Marsh 2–0 Red Star Cork
Swinedon Town 2–3 An Blascaod Mór
Areck Furness 2–5 Corcaigh
Snowspire Communal 1–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Bannabridge 2–0 Workers United

And so the tables after the opening quarter of the season.

SEASON THIRTEEN: PART FOUR

MATCHDAY 30
Telecontarë's grip on the top of the table loosens somewhat, as they suffer a shock defeat to New Cefn Albion. No such worries for Ousevale, though, who thrash Linford to cut the gap to two. Avidia and Mercia, too, are keeping track of the leaders as both eke out wins.

Results:
AFC Linford 1-6 Ousevale Borough
Iskara Daii 4-1 Casuals Osteria
Telecontarë 0-1 New Cefn Albion
Royal Emberton 2-0 Hecia
Avidia United 1-0 Cedrus Soundgardia
Mercia Bromham 1-0 Stanton Town
Foxchester Raiders 0-1 Penningworth United
Emberton Reds 1-1 Hallad Reavers
Corinthian Spirits 1-1 Port Cythera
Kallia United 0-0 Vecchio Victors

COPA CALANIA QUARTER-FINALS
No doubt where the big game of the round was, as the Southern Arena hosted a huge game between Ousevale and Iskara Daii. One hundred and twenty minutes of football couldn't separate the two, and it was eventually the home side advancing through the wonders of the penalty shoot-out. No such trouble for Mercia, eliminating Tabeck Cefn Druids; Penningworth United also had an easy time against Jhanna City, whilst Corinth completed the semi-final line-up with a routine win at Oxley Park.

Results:
Penningworth United 3-1 Jhanna City
Royal Emberton 0-3 Corinthian Spirits
Tabeck Cefn Druids 0-3 Mercia Bromham
Ousevale Borough 1-1 Iskara Daii (1-1 AET, 3-2 PKs)

Semi-finals:
Mercia Bromham v Penningworth United (@ Walton Gardens, Simpson)
Corinthian Spirits v Ousevale Borough (@ Stadii di Quercus, Farça)

MATCHDAY 31
I spoke to soon. Fresh from being knocked out of the Copa at the Southern Arena, the Daii returned with swift justice and a 1-0 win; Telecontarë, meanwhile, hammered the nuts off Linford to restore their five-point cushion. To confound things further, New Cefn popped up with another surprise win, this time against Avidia, whilst Mercia scored four against Hecia and still only managed a point. Ousevale are going to need a win at the White Tower next week to keep this season alive...but if they do, it's gonna be a free-for-all.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 0-1 Iskara Daii
AFC Linford 0-4 Telecontarë
Casuals Osteria 0-2 Royal Emberton
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Avidia United
Hecia 4-4 Mercia Bromham
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-2 Foxchester Raiders
Stanton Town 1-2 Emberton Reds
Penningworth United 0-3 Corinthian Spirits
Hallad Reavers 1-0 Kallia United
Port Cythera 5-1 Vecchio Victors

MATCHDAY 32
Well, that's it, the title's as good as Tele's. Ousevale came home with no points, and no hope, as Avidia's annihilation of AFC "How Are We NOT In The Drop Zone" Linford put them second. Seriously, the Woodsmen have conceded sixteen in their last three, and still manage to be in fifteenth.

Oh, and the Daii got their red and black arses handed to them at Oxley Park, and slip to seventh.

Results:
Telecontarë 1-0 Ousevale Borough
Royal Emberton 4-0 Iskara Daii
Avidia United 6-1 AFC Linford
Mercia Bromham 3-0 Casuals Osteria
Foxchester Raiders 1-0 New Cefn Albion
Emberton Reds 1-2 Hecia
Corinthian Spirits 3-6 Cedrus Soundgardia
Kallia United 1-0 Stanton Town
Vecchio Victors 1-0 Penningworth United
Port Cythera 0-1 Hallad Reavers

MATCHDAY 33
So, Ousevale's title hopes took a final fatal turn this week, as they were beaten by Royal Emberton...

...wait, that must be a typo...

...apparently not. EIGHT-ONE??? Way to give up, guys. Mercia and Avidia lose too, and Royal Emberton suddenly find themselves second, whilst the toothless Tigers slip to fifth. Ouch.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 1-8 Royal Emberton
Telecontarë 3-1 Avidia United
Iskara Daii 3-1 Mercia Bromham
AFC Linford 1-3 Foxchester Raiders
Casuals Osteria 1-2 Emberton Reds
New Cefn Albion 1-4 Corinthian Spirits
Hecia 3-0 Kallia United
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-1 Vecchio Victors
Stanton Town 1-0 Port Cythera
Penningworth United 1-1 Hallad Reavers

MATCHDAY 34
Looks like the Royals are serious about second; they beat Mercia Bromham, and cut the gap at the top to seven after leaders Tele draw four-all with the Raiders. Avidia's win over Ousevale, meanwhile, drops the Tigers to a sorry sixth.

Results:
Avidia United 1-0 Ousevale Borough
Mercia Bromham 1-2 Royal Emberton
Foxchester Raiders 4-4 Telecontarë
Emberton Reds 3-4 Iskara Daii
Corinthian Spirits 1-0 AFC Linford
Kallia United 1-0 Casuals Osteria
Vecchio Victors 0-2 New Cefn Albion
Port Cythera 0-1 Hecia
Hallad Reavers 0-1 Cedrus Soundgardia
Penningworth United 0-0 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 35
A 3-1 win for the leaders, and it's going to take some sort of a miracle for the title not to be heading for the White Tower this season. Not that Royal Emberton have given up hope, with a fine win over the Reds in the Emberton Derby. Its Mercian equivalent, though, is a damp squib, and the draw suits neither side.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 1-1 Mercia Bromham
Avidia United 2-3 Foxchester Raiders
Royal Emberton 1-0 Emberton Reds
Telecontarë 3-1 Corinthian Spirits
Iskara Daii 1-1 Kallia United
AFC Linford 0-1 Vecchio Victors
Casuals Osteria 2-1 Port Cythera
New Cefn Albion 4-2 Hallad Reavers
Hecia 2-3 Penningworth United
Cedrus Soundgardia 1-1 Stanton Town

MATCHDAY 36
Never underestimate a side scrapping to avoid relegation. Vecchio Victors grabbed a draw against the leaders, ensuring the champagne stayed in the wine cellar for at least another fortnight; bottom side Port Cythera, meanwhile, cocked a snook at convention and took all three points from the Daii. Going into the Copa break, then, and we still have nothing decided at the top or the bottom.

Results:
Foxchester Raiders 0-1 Ousevale Borough
Emberton Reds 3-0 Mercia Bromham
Corinthian Spirits 0-2 Avidia United
Kallia United 2-3 Royal Emberton
Vecchio Victors 1-1 Telecontarë
Port Cythera 1-0 Iskara Daii
Hallad Reavers 1-1 AFC Linford
Penningworth United 0-2 Casuals Osteria
Stanton Town 0-0 New Cefn Albion
Cedrus Soundgardia 4-2 Hecia

COPA CALANIA SEMI-FINALS
It's going to be an all-Mercian final at the Isserson, as Ousevale overcome the Spirits, and Mercia scrape past Penningworth.

Results:
Mercia Bromham 3-2 Penningworth United
Corinthian Spirits 0-2 Ousevale Borough

MATCHDAY 37
That's it; cross the t's, dot the stupid e at the end, we are done. Hallad fight for all they are worth, but can't hold on, and a late Espy va Drake strike means that Telecontarë are champions for the first time. Royal Emberton's win over Cythera has ramifications at both ends, relegating the visitors, and assuring the Royals a place in the Champions' Cup group stage.

Results:
Ousevale Borough 0-1 Emberton Reds
Foxchester Raiders 3-2 Corinthian Spirits
Mercia Bromham 4-0 Kallia United
Avidia United 4-0 Vecchio Victors
Royal Emberton 2-0 Port Cythera - Port Cythera relegated
Telecontarë 1-0 Hallad Reavers - Telecontarë are champions
Iskara Daii 3-1 Penningworth United
AFC Linford 2-0 Stanton Town
Casuals Osteria 2-0 Cedrus Soundgardia
New Cefn Albion 1-0 Hecia

MATCHDAY 38
It's a chequerboard nightmare for Kallia, as the men in red and white squares are put in their box by Emberton, slipping into the bottom three and alowing Hallad Reavers to escape. Not that Hallad didn't deserve it; the win that sealed their safety was a 3-2 humdinger against Avidia.

Results:
Corinthian Spirits 1-3 Ousevale Borough
Kallia United 1-2 Emberton Reds - Kallia United relegated
Vecchio Victors 1-3 Foxchester Raiders - Vecchio Victors relegated
Port Cythera 0-2 Mercia Bromham
Hallad Reavers 3-2 Avidia United
Penningworth United 2-2 Royal Emberton
Stanton Town 0-2 Telecontarë
Cedrus Soundgardia 0-3 Iskara Daii
Hecia 1-2 AFC Linford
New Cefn Albion 0-2 Casuals Osteria

COPA CALANIA FINAL
Mercia Bromham 3-0 Ousevale Borough - Isserson Stadium, Emberton, Krytenia
A season that promised so much provides the square root of sod-all for the Tigers; for marvellous Mercia, though, it's the chance to participate in their "home" tournament, the Cygnus Cup.

Sorthern Football League – 2058 season, part two

Matchday ten

Into the next part of the season and James Connolly get back to winning ways but only just, a late goal seeing them return from The Causeway with three points. Snowspire Communal however don't return to winning ways and as a result slip down to fifth place. Sparrowbottom Athletic take of the mantle as the leading challengers with their win over Bannabridge.

Bimlico 1–1 Workers United
Sparrowbottom Athletic 1–0 Bannabridge
Corcaigh 3–1 Snowspire Communal
An Blascaod Mór 1–0 Areck Furness
Red Star Cork 0–2 Swinedon Town

Beningrad 1–1 East Reading
Juahzhou 1–0 Floriana RMI

Corn an Taoisigh second round

Where some teams made tricky work in the first round of ties that were on paper easy ones, they racked up some high scores in the second round. Beningrad scored seven to no reply on their trip to Recreativo de Andalenica whilst Sparrowbottom Athletic's hosting of Oast Orient saw an eight nil win for the professionals. St. Patrick's defence of the cup meanwhile was neither long or glorious. They've been dispatched at the hands of Deportivo Terondiz (ever heard of them? Exactly.) on penalties. Though to be fair to Pats a lot of their players have been available due to scouts from Seunem constantly inviting them to trials. Whilst you can't blame the players for trying their luck at their probable only shot at international football it must make getting a cohesive team together a struggle.

Matchday eleven

The pretenders to the throne this week met the reigning monarch, and it was the established order who won out on the day. James Connolly may have been left bloodied by the 2-0 defeat to Hightop Hill and it may yet prove a key moment, but for now they stay atop of the table, Hightop Hill two points behind. Off the back of a decent 3-0 away win Sparrowbottom sit in between those two, whilst still early days, the Sorthern football landscape has changed a lot for it to be these three teams heading the pile. Such a statement should that should probably be explained and have all types of clever analysis, but the kettle's just boiling so no time for that palaver.

Floriana RMI 1–0 Bimlico

Matchday twelve

Or we could have told you about Red Star getting a rare win last week! Business had returned to usual this week with Red Star falling to defeat. The defeat though did have an impact on the table seeing Snowspire go top having jumped up from fourth place. The top five all at the moment sit within a point of each other and OH MARGARET ISN'T THIS EXICING? For once.

Bimlico 3–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Corcaigh 1–1 Workers United
An Blascaod Mór 0–0 Bannabridge
Red Star Cork 1–2 Snowspire Communal

Hightop Hill 2–2 Felland Marsh
Beningrad 1–0 James Connolly S.C.
Juahzhou 1–1 Castrograd S.C.
Floriana RMI 2–1 East Reading

Matchday thirteen

Top teams don't tend to lose 6-2, so it stands to reason that Snowspire's spell at the top of the table didn't last long having fallen to such a defeat. Yet another unexciting win sees James Connolly return to first place, with the rather more freescoring Hightop Hill hot on their tails. Whilst on the topic of freescoring Sparrowbottom and Corcaigh put on a right display of the stuff with ten goals not being enough to separate them.

East Reading 0–2 Bimlico
Castrograd S.C. 3–1 Floriana RMI
James Connolly S.C. 1–0 Juahzhou
Felland Marsh 0–1 Beningrad
Swinedon Town 0–3 Hightop Hill

Snowspire Communal 2–6 Reading Town
Bannabridge 1–0 Red Star Cork
Workers United 1–1 An Blascaod Mór
Sparrowbottom Athletic 5–5 Corcaigh

Matchday fourteen

Someone call the police, James Connolly have been replaced with imposters. Imposters who are rather good footballers mind. Anyone who headed to Floriana RMI's match with the leader surely won't have expected to come away having seen five goals, but that's exactly what they will have seen (the tits who leave early aside, James Connolly's final goal was in stoppage time). Four of the goals were in James Connolly's favour, but Hightop Hill''s goals scored tally still remains some distance ahead. Even if they were today taking the role of winning by the odd goal. Red Star Cork even won as well!

Bimlico 1–1 Corcaigh
An Blascaod Mór 1–3 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Red Star Cork 4–0 Workers United
Reading Town 0–1 Bannabridge
Heathfield United 1–4 Snowspire Communal
Hightop Hill 2–1 Areck Furness
Beningrad 1–2 Swinedon Town
Juahzhou 2–1 Felland Marsh
Floriana RMI 1–4 James Connolly S.C.
East Reading 3–0 Castrograd S.C.

Matchday fifteen

And this week mo chairde, in a week where the leading teams mustered up a total of no goals, we see the benefit of scoring lots of goals. A win for Sparrowbottom, draw for Hightop Hill and defeat for James Connolly sees the three teams level on points. So going down to goal difference who comes out on top? Hightop Hill. Quite comfortably. Their sixteen goals difference being double that of James Connolly's whilst Sparrowbottom sit in third with six.

Castrograd S.C. 1–2 Bimlico
James Connolly S.C. 0–1 East Reading
Felland Marsh 0–1 Floriana RMI
Swinedon Town 0–2 Juahzhou
Areck Furness 0–1 Beningrad
Snowspire Communal 0–0 Hightop Hill
Bannabridge 1–1 Heathfield United
Workers United 1–1 Reading Town
Sparrowbottom Athletic 2–1 Red Star Cork
Corcaigh 2–1 An Blascaod Mór

Corn an Taoisigh third round

Of the favourites James Connolly perhaps had the toughest task this round, having to face Swindon Town, currently thirteenth in Division One. Home advantage was in James Connolly's favour and they ran out 2-1 winners. Elsewhere Beningrad travelled to Torvale and went through neither comfortably or with any great scare as they won 4-2. Snowspire and East Reading both won by three goal margins against non-League opposition. The biggest win of the day went to Sparrowbottom Athletic, 7-0 winners over Balibo Ironworks.

Matchday sixteen

It remains tight at the top, very tight. The top three, Hightop Hill, Snowspire and Sparrowbottom all currently sit on 29 points. A defeat to Castrograd leaves James Connolly a point behind whilst on 27 points in fifth place is Corcaigh following their 4-1 derby win. After a poor start to the season Corcaigh have threatened to break through into the leading group on the number of occasions but have so fair failed to do so. Their current position is their highest so fat this season.

Bimlico 3–1 An Blascaod Mór
Red Star Cork 1–4 Corcaigh
Reading Town 1–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Heathfield United 1–2 Workers United
Hightop Hill 0–0 Bannabridge
Beningrad 0–1 Snowspire Communal
Juahzhou 1–0 Areck Furness
Floriana RMI 0–0 Swinedon Town
East Reading 2–2 Felland Marsh
Castrograd S.C. 2–0 James Connolly S.C.

Matchday seventeen

Over the years however once Corcaigh have got going they haven't been ones to stop. You don't become the club with the most championships in the country otherwise. A 3-0 win over Reading Town and results going against the other leading teams has seen the Rebels up into second place and level on points with leaders Hightop Hill. By this time last seen Hightop Hill had pretty much all but won the league! Across the other side of Corcaigh Red Star have finally got to the ten point mark with an away win over An Blascaod Mór. Bless 'em. They of course remain bottom.

James Connolly S.C. 1–1 Bimlico
Felland Marsh 2–2 Castrograd S.C.

Areck Furness 5–0 Floriana RMI
Snowspire Communal 1–4 Juahzhou
Bannabridge 1–1 Beningrad
Workers United 1–1 Hightop Hill
Sparrowbottom Athletic 3–6 Heathfield United
Corcaigh 3–0 Reading Town
An Blascaod Mór 0–3 Red Star Cork

Matchday eighteen

Two whole games unbeaten! Aren't those Red Star laddies (and laddiettes) on a roll. They're still bottom of course. At the other end Hightop Hill are no longer top. Snowspire are having won away to Floriana RMI, but only on goal difference, ahead by six goals of James Connolly who won 1-0 (well isn't that a surprise?). Corcaigh proved what we were saying about flattering to device by losing 5-0 and falling to seventh place. They remain only two points from the top though. By Margaret, this actually is shaping up to be a decent season for once!

Bimlico 0–0 Red Star Cork
Reading Town 1–0 An Blascaod Mór
Heathfield United 5–0 Corcaigh
Hightop Hill 0–0 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Beningrad 4–1 Workers United
Juahzhou 0–4 Bannabridge
Floriana RMI 1–2 Snowspire Communal
East Reading 1–0 Areck Furness
Castrograd S.C. 1–2 Swinedon Town
James Connolly S.C. 1–0 Felland Marsh

Matchday nineteen

Halfway through the season and it looks like Red Star may just gone and grasped football. A 4-2 win over Reading Town means it is now seven points from the last nine for them. They do however remain bottom, but only because Workers United went and won as well. Wankers. It's still all musical chairs at the top however, frankly there's too many changes to go through, we'd be here till daylight if we did it (admittedly that wouldn't be too far off were it summer), but it's James Connolly who are top again this week. And the table will be posted below anyway.

Felland Marsh 0–0 Bimlico
Swinedon Town 1–2 James Connolly S.C.
Areck Furness 3–0 Castrograd S.C.
Snowspire Communal 0–1 East Reading
Bannabridge 0–1 Floriana RMI
Workers United 4–1 Juahzhou
Sparrowbottom Athletic 5–1 Beningrad
Corcaigh 5–0 Hightop Hill
An Blascaod Mór 6–3 Heathfield United
Red Star Cork 4–2 Reading Town

The big guns enter the Latitude Cup in round one, and what a round we had for you this year. East Franz Athletic claim bragging rights for the entire city after Franz Josef Young Boys, Franz Josef Sharks, and SK Franz Josef City crash out of the competition. SK were stunned by a resilient and spirited display from Lokomotiv Karlstadt, but will be pleased to see Jan Mayen Islanders fall to a similar giant killing. Melville Celtic, who are admittedly a decent team, took the Islanders to penalties, where the heroics of mathias Marek were unable to save them, going down 7-6 overall.There was almost another shock results as well, as FC Torshavn need extra time to get past lowly Severny Wingtips, but most of the big names get through comfortably, and the main talking points remain the departure of Jan Mayen and SK at this early stage.

MATCHDAY 11
Red Star Severny 1-0 FC Torshavn
SK Franz Josef City 5-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
North Star Grímsey 1-1 East Franz Athletic
Jan Mayen Islanders 3-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Islay Town Mechanical 3-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
FC Cape St Paul 4-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
FC Axel Heiburg 3-0 Koppen Rig Force
SK react to their disappointing Latitude Cup result, bouncing back with a 5-0 crushing of Surtsey Island Gulls, Zorion Legeren scoring twice but refusing to celebrate against his former club. Jan Mayen keep the pressure up as East Franz slip to a draw at North Star by slamming three goals past a sorry Resolute side. FC Cape St Paul and FC Axel Heiburg also record strong wins.

MATCHDAY 12
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 5-0 Red Star Severny
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-3 FC Torshavn
East Franz Athletic 0-0 SK Franz Josef City
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 0-2 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-0 North Star Grímsey
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-5 Jan Mayen Islanders
Koppen Rig Force 3-0 Islay Town Mechanical
FC Axel Heiburg 0-1 FC Cape St Paul
Surtsey turn right around and react to their own 5-0 drubbing, by inflicting the same punishment on Red Star Severny, Caspar Baek with a hat trick from midfield. The First Elfsteijn derby of the season ends in a stalemate that doesn't reflect the excitement of the match, with both defences and goalkeepers performing miracles to ensure the impressive strike forces on show were kept at bay. Jan Mayen pounce on the occasion by slamming Barentsberg for five, Bosc, Valcarcel, Eygenroy, and Lja with the goals. And as Surtsey prove their worth by hammering Severny, the other two teams in 'the chasing pack' behind 'the big three' also face each other, FC Cape St Paul snatching a win in Axel Heiburg thanks to a goal from Gunnar Mackenzie.

MATCHDAY 13
Red Star Severny 1-5 Scapa Bay Rovers
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 0-2 East Franz Athletic
FC Torshavn 2-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
SK Franz Josef City 4-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 7-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
North Star Grímsey 0-0 Koppen Rig Force
Jan Mayen Islanders 1-1 FC Axel Heiburg
Islay Town Mechanical 1-2 FC Cape St Paul
Red Star and Barentsberg continue to shop goals at an alarming rate. Scapa bay beating Severny 5-1 in their back yard, whilst Barentsberg are hit for seven by fellow strugglers Bjarnarey Flotilla. A Dei Ormache brace helps SK on their way to a strong home win against Yuzhny, whilst a late Krivac goal saves a point for Jan Mayen Islanders at home to Axel Heiburg.

MATCHDAY 14
East Franz Athletic 0-0 Red Star Severny
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 4-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
Yuzhny Equinox FC 1-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-1 FC Torshavn
Koppen Rig Force 0-2 SK Franz Josef City
FC Axel Heiburg 1-1 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
FC Cape St Paul 1-0 North Star Grímsey
Islay Town Mechanical 0-4 Jan Mayen Islanders
Another week, another clean sheet for Demy de Zooijt for East Franz, though as the strikers appear to be going through another dry spell it is a second 0-0 draw in three games for the Rendahl dwellers, a decent result for the recently very leaky defence of Red Star. Krivac builds on his single goal from last week with a hat trick at The Warehouse, Jan Mayen riding out 4-0 winners there. Meanwhile there is high drama in Axel Heiburg, where there are two sendings off for both teams and a half time fight. The result, a comparatively boring 1-1.

MATCHDAY 15
Red Star Severny 1-1 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
East Franz Athletic 2-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
Scapa Bay Rovers 5-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 1-1 Koppen Rig Force
FC Torshavn 1-3 FC Axel Heiburg
SK Franz Josef City 3-1 FC Cape St Paul
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 Islay Town Mechanical
North Star Grímsey 1-1 Jan Mayen Islanders
Two outstanding games today; East Franz pick up a routine win against Yuzhny, and Jan Mayen battle to a draw in an under-par performance at North Star, but the real stories come from Torshavn and Franz Josef City. In Torshavn, Axel Heiburg score three goals in five minutes just before half time to send Torshavn reeling, and then have to withstand a second half onslaught, only conceding the one goal. And at the Landstadt, Dei Ormache scores a goal from the half way line and sets up Amadeus Irndtor and Tomas Sivoli for their own goals as FC Cape St Paul just can't cope.

LATITUDE CUP Round Two
FC Solovetsky Monastery 2-0 McAvery Centurions
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-0 Grass-Lisch AFC
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 3-1 SK Sporting Juura

Toyoharo Revolutionaries 1-1 Cape Somerville Town (1-1 AET, 2-0 PKs)
East Franz Athletic 3-0 FK Grise Fiord
Severnaya Zemlya 88 Equinox 5-3 Axel Town AFC
That's what cup football is all about. In a competition that is wide open in the absence of SK and the Islanders, all teams are striving to do well, and FC Cape St Paul nearly overcook it, needing extra time to get past Rapid Neftegorsk. Axel Heiburg beat Koppen Rig Force comfortably in one all Divisjon One tie, but the main story comes from Northbrook. Diamonds and Zenith, two fierce rivals who haven't met in the league for nearly half a century, finally get another cup tie to sink their teeth into, and in a hotly contested and often violent battle, it is eventually the big brothers of the Diamonds that run out 5-3 victors.

MATCHDAY 16
Yuzhny Equinox FC 1-3 Red Star Severny
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Koppen Rig Force 2-4 East Franz Athletic
FC Axel Heiburg 4-3 Scapa Bay Rovers
FC Cape St Paul 2-3 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Islay Town Mechanical 2-1 FC Torshavn
Jan Mayen Islanders 0-1 SK Franz Josef City
North Star Grímsey 1-2 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Maarten Berg doesn't score many goals, but this one could be crucial, a second half header that beat Jan Mayen's resistance as the Griffons do the double on their title rivals. Something that hasn't done Nicolaj Koch's job prospects any favours at all. FC Axel Heiburg are involved in another thriller at Axel Torvig Park, their entertaining brand of football winning them many admirers amongst the press, and Surtsey keep pace at the top with an away win over St Paul.

MATCHDAY 17
Red Star Severny 2-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Yuzhny Equinox FC 4-3 Koppen Rig Force
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 2-2 FC Axel Heiburg
East Franz Athletic 1-1 FC Cape St Paul
Scapa Bay Rovers 4-5 Islay Town Mechanical
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 0-3 Jan Mayen Islanders
FC Torshavn 0-2 North Star Grímsey
SK Franz Josef City 2-1 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Kjetil Huytspurr is back. His two second half goals for Axel Heiburg rattling up his total for the season, and improving his stock immeasurably. Seals another point for his team, too. SK beat Bjarnarey despite a late scare from a consolation goal, and Demy de Zooijt gets a rare assist as East Franz draw with St Paul. Jan Mayen bounce right back form their defeat last week, Bosc and Lja doing a Mytanar double over Surtsey, with Eygenroy adding a further goal in injury time.

MATCHDAY 18
Koppen Rig Force 3-2 Red Star Severny
FC Axel Heiburg 6-2 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
FC Cape St Paul 2-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
Islay Town Mechanical 1-2 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
Jan Mayen Islanders 2-1 East Franz Athletic
North Star Grímsey 1-2 Scapa Bay Rovers
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 1-1 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
SK Franz Josef City 2-0 FC Torshavn
Jan Mayen finally win against a Franz Josef City side, Hastings and Valcarcel scoring the goals that East Franz couldn't respond to. Only a Berghoff consolation goal in the second half put a gloss on what was a poor performance for East Franz. Koppen Rig Force have been fairly quiet this season, but manage a key win against Red Star today, Zacharias Juul with the winner. FC Axel Heiburg hit Barentsberg for six (against two), and SK pick up another win.

MATCHDAY 19
Red Star Severny 2-2 FC Axel Heiburg
Koppen Rig Force 3-4 FC Cape St Paul
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-1 Islay Town Mechanical
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-2 Jan Mayen Islanders
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 0-1 North Star Grímsey
East Franz Athletic 5-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Scapa Bay Rovers 0-1 SK Franz Josef City
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 1-4 FC Torshavn
Filip Bosc sets up two goals as Jan Mayen set themselves up with some momentum here, but the big goal thrillers elsewhere steal the limelight. Torshavn spanked Surtsey in an embarrassing result for the Gulls, Bjarnarey are spun around by East Franz as Blonqvist finds his scoring boots again with a hat-trick, and FC Cape St Paul beat Koppen Rig by the even goal in seven.

MATCHDAY 20
FC Cape St Paul 1-1 Red Star Severny
Islay Town Mechanical 1-5 FC Axel Heiburg
Jan Mayen Islanders 1-1 Koppen Rig Force
North Star Grímsey 1-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC
SK Franz Josef City 1-1 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
FC Torshavn 1-1 East Franz Athletic
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 2-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
Final matchday before we break for another summary, and its a slow one apart from one match. Half the games trickle into standard 1-1 draws, but there is excitement at The Warehouse, with Islay Town sinking 1-5 against Axel Heiburg as they surge up the table. Surtsey, Bjarnarey, and North Star are the other winners on what is a fairly dull day.

LATITUDE CUP Round Three
FC Solovetsky Monastery 2-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
SK Aasiaat Harbour 0-2 1. Lokomotiv Karlstadt
Toyoharo Revolutionaries 0-2 Novaya Sibir Reds
Northbrook Diamonds FK 1-2 Scapa Bay Rovers
Mekoryuk Maskettes 0-3 East Franz Athletic
FC Axel Heiburg 1-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 2-0 Severnaya Zemlya 88 Equinox
Red Star Severny 0-2 FC Cape St Paul
Another round of the Latitude Cup swings around, and teams fight to get through to the quarter finals an the high profile monetary payouts that come with being in the final eight. Two Mackenzie goals see St Paul through at the expense of Red Star, and two more for his Bleak Rock team-mate Vagn Rosenmeyer mean Resolute Storm also advance. Solovetsky Monastery strike back at the division above them, beating Surtsey at home, whilst There are also wins for Scapa Bay, Karlstadt, Novaya Sibir Reds, and FC Axel Heiburg, as well as East Franz, who advance as a result of Diedrich Kvitchenko hat-trick in Mekoryuk.

Two thirds of the way into the season, SK havae taken the lead away from their fierce rivals, and in some style. Jan Mayen and East Franz both lie five points below the Griffons, but will no doubt be doing everything they can to take the title, or at least the other TQCC spot. Bjarnarey make a surprise appearance halfway into the top half of the table, but aside from them 'the chasing pack' is all there after the leaders. FC Cape St Paul, FC Axel Heiburg, FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls, and Red Star Severny are all in the mix for the Globe Cup spots at the moment, and there could be some seriously entertaining tussles to get into them come the end of the season. The goals of Michael Osic once again appear to be keeping FC Torshavn well up the table, and Koppen Rig also appear to have adjusted well to the division again. At the bottom, Barentsberg fans look like they've given up and just want the misery to end, with only nine points to their name from twenty games. Scapa Bay have been on both ends of some impressive scorelines this season, but perhaps a bit more pragmatism from them would see them out of the relegation zone. Yuzhny, Resolute, and Islay Town will also be aware that they are very much in this battle.

In Divisjon Two, Severnaya Zemlya have slipped a little but are still leading the division from a charging Northbrook Diamonds who appear to be on something of a roll. A distant third and fourth sees Solovetsky and Longyearbyen vying for the last promotion spot, and SK Aasiaat Harbour continue to lie well below their expectations. The fight at the bottom is getting vicious however, with half the division feeling the nerves. Juura and Novaya Sibir will be fighting hard to get out of danger, but Mekoryuk look just about done.

In Divisjon Three, Rapid Jan Mayen are opening up a strong lead, whilst the pack behind them remain close. Only one point separates the teams in second, third, and fourth. Sisimut, Okhotsk Kholmsk, Resolute Hills, and Severny Wingtips are currently in danger of slipping down a division, but a great many teams are still in the mix for that.

Sorthern Football League – 2058 season, part three

Matchday twenty

A slightly unusual situation arises this week as the league is bookened by two clubs from the same second. Whilst Red Star Cork are of course bottom, their 2-0 defeat to Heathfield United leaving them two points behind Workers United, neighbours Corcaigh have risen to first on the back of a 3-0 win over Beningrad. We've previously written in the past this season that Corcaigh should never be written off, but given their inconsistency this season and the closeness of the league this will be perhaps their toughest title fight yet.

Bimlico 5–1 Reading Town
Red Star Cork 0–2 Heathfield United
An Blascaod Mór 0–1 Hightop Hill
Corcaigh 3–0 Beningrad
Sparrowbottom Athletic 0–3 Juahzhou
Workers United 0–1 Floriana RMI
Bannabridge 4–2 East Reading
Snowspire Communal 0–3 Castrograd S.C.
Areck Furness 1–0 James Connolly S.C.
Swinedon Town 0–1 Felland Marsh

Corn an Taoisigh fourth round

The fourth round of the Corn an Taoisigh has passed and we can no get a clear picture of who is likely to challenge for it. Red Star Cork won't be, unsurprising given their league form, but with a derby win over Corcaigh already this season the Corn an Taoisigh had proved a nice distraction from their league troubles. As a mid-table Division Two side Rode Ster Amsterdam should be written off, but to do so would prove foolish. They've won the Corn an Taoisigh when failing to light up the league before and the big boys will certainly be weary of them doing so again. A number of sides are stilling challenging on both fronts, James Connolly, Hightop Hill and Bannabridge are all in the top four of the league and the fifth round of the cup. The team to go out were East Reading, bested on penalties by Snowspire Communal in what was built up as the most salivating match of the round. Chosen as the televised encounter it proved to live up to it's billing, spectators were treated to an enthralling ninety minutes of end to end football in which the teams shared four goals. Usually dull, the thirty extra minutes carried on in the same vein as the opening ninety, but no goals were a coming and out came the usual clichés about neither side deserving to go out and penalties being a cruel cruel way of deciding undeserving losers. For once they were apt clichés.

Baile an Fheirtéaraigh 1-0 Heathfield United
Floriana RMI 3-0 Red Star Cork
Euskara Anuntzibai 1-2 Kelubol
Rode Ster Amsterdam 3-0 Temol
James Connolly S.C. 3-0 Wollongo
Newstoke 3-1 An Blascaod Mór
Juahzhou 1-1 Sparrowbottom Athletic (1-2 AET)
Marx-Stadt 5-1 Downminster
Marsa Albion 1-3 Bannabridge
Beningrad 8-0 Weardbeleah
Rothsbere Athletic 0-2 Hightop Hill
Tioka & Weybridge 0-1 Felland Marsh
A.F.C. Xaninion 1-1 Slavija Sobrinic (1-1 AET) (Slavija Sobrinic wins 3-0 on penalty kicks)
Ibibis Isle 1-2 Castford
East Reading 2-2 Snowspire Communal (2-2 AET) (Snowspire Communal wins 4-2 on penalty kicks)
17th of October 1-1 Dún Chaoin (2-2 AET) (Dún Chaoin wins 4-1 on penalty kicks)

Matchday twenty-one

Shocker of all shockers this week. Red Star for the first time this season have lifted themselves off the foot of the table. Following a 3-0 away win against Hightop Hill, if ever they deserve a round of applause it is now. Go'won, even you Corcaigh fans, you know you want to. They do still remain entrenched in the relegation zone of course, but they have climbed that all important first rung of the ladder.

Swinedon Town 1–2 Bimlico
Felland Marsh 0–1 Areck Furness
James Connolly S.C. 1–0 Snowspire Communal
Castrograd S.C. 5–1 Bannabridge
East Reading 0–0 Workers United
Floriana RMI 0–2 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Juahzhou 4–4 Corcaigh
Beningrad 5–1 An Blascaod Mór
Hightop Hill 0–3 Red Star Cork
Heathfield United 1–0 Reading Town

Matchday twenty-two

Lost amongst the achievements of their neighbours Corcaigh last week relinquished their spot at the top of the table to James Connolly. Such has been the hot potato nature of that spot this season Corcaigh find themselves back into it. Defeat to Bannabridge (themselves doing well despite being largely unnoticed) sees James Connolly down to third whilst Sparrowbottom's 7-3 win over East Reading lifts them to second.

Bimlico 3–3 Heathfield United
Reading Town 1–3 Hightop Hill
Red Star Cork 1–1 Beningrad
An Blascaod Mór 0–0 Juahzhou
Corcaigh 2–1 Floriana RMI
Sparrowbottom Athletic 7–3 East Reading
Workers United 0–0 Castrograd S.C.
Bannabridge 2–0 James Connolly S.C.
Snowspire Communal 4–1 Felland Marsh
Areck Furness 0–1 Swinedon Town

Matchday twenty-three

You win some, you lose some as Sparrowbottom found of this week. Having scored seven last week they will have gone away to Castrograd with confidence, particularly given that their hosts have been an anonymous mid-table side for much of the season. Confidence however seems to have turned into complacency and it was Castrograd troubling the scorers on seven occasions this week. Sparrowbottom managing a meek one in reply. Castrograd though weren't the biggest winners, Beningrad put nine past a Reading Town side who it appears to be a question of when not if they'll going into the bottom three. Currently they sit in 17th place, safe for now by 2 points.

Areck Furness 1–0 Bimlico
Swinedon Town 2–1 Snowspire Communal
Felland Marsh 2–0 Bannabridge
James Connolly S.C. 2–3 Workers United
Castrograd S.C. 7–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
East Reading 1–1 Corcaigh

Hightop Hill 3–0 Heathfield United

Matchday twenty-four

Just a glimmer of daylight has emerged for the first time this season at the top of the table. Corcaigh remain top for the third week in a row, a relative aeon this season, with Hightop Hill a point behind in second. After them though it's another three points back to third place and Sparrowbottom Athletic. They've by no means made an escape from the chasers, but could the leading pair have finally got their crowbars into the door frame?

Bannabridge 2–1 Swinedon Town

Matchday twenty-five

It certainly seems as though they could have. Further wins for the leading pair and dropped points for the main chasers has seen the gap between second and third move out to five points. Even if it does now boil down to a two horse race, it makes a nice change that it has taken beyond the halfway point to have done so.

Snowspire Communal 1–1 Bimlico
Areck Furness 2–0 Bannabridge

Corn an Taoisigh fifth round

As far as minnows go the final non-League team has finally fallen by the wayside. In losing 3-2 to Hightop Hill, Slavija Sobrinic can go away with their heads held high though. Certainly far better teams have lost more heavily to the Hill in recent times. Kelubol, currently bottom of Division Three do remain though, their 3-0 win over a Marx-Stadt side chasing promotion from Division Two throwing the form book out of the window.

Matchday twenty-six

Just when Red Star's luck seemed to have turned, it has gone again. With just a point to their name since hauling themselves off the foot of the table An Blascaod Mór's win over James Connolly (whose own aspirations have really gone to the wall in recent weeks, the former leaders are now 9th) sees Red Star back in very familiar territory as the basement side. Furthermore they sit nine points away from safety, still plenty of time to make up that ground, but if they don't do so soon they are unfortunately doomed. Doomed, they're doomed, as their captain John Frazer hopefully isn’t telling them.

Workers United 2–1 Areck Furness
Bannabridge 1–5 Snowspire Communal

Matchday twenty-seven

A change at the top of the table as Corcaigh give up the three point lead they'd built up over Hightop Hill, with the Hill taking the lead thanks to their superior goal difference. It can't quite be billed as a two horse race just yet however, East Reading, having garnered little to know attention all season have suddenly turned up in third place, three points behind the leading pair. The lack of consistency which has seen them go unnoticed could however prove to hold them back.

Bannabridge 1–1 Bimlico
Snowspire Communal 3–1 Workers United
Areck Furness 1–1 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Swinedon Town 2–1 Corcaigh
Felland Marsh 2–0 An Blascaod Mór

Castrograd S.C. 3–0 Reading Town
East Reading 4–0 Heathfield United
Floriana RMI 1–3 Hightop Hill
Juahzhou 3–3 Beningrad

Matchday twenty-eight

As could a lack of being able to beat the top two teams. A win over Hightop Hill would have seen East Reading level with the leaders, even a draw would have seen the pressure kept up, a defeat however see Hightop Hill opening up a six point gap. Corcaigh's draw with Areck Furness also sees them fall two points behind Hightop Hill. Red Star Cork finally broke their run of defeats but the 2052 champions remain bottom and nine points from safety.

Bimlico 1–1 Juahzhou

Corcaigh 1–1 Areck Furness
Sparrowbottom Athletic 3–0 Snowspire Communal
Workers United 3–1 Bannabridge

Matchday twenty-nine

Castrograd appear to be developing quite a habit of scoring seven goals when you'd absolutely expect them not to. A 7-0 defeat is humiliating at the best of times, when you're the league leaders though it gets a whole lot more embarrassing. Remarkably Hightop Hill remain top following such a defeat, with Corcaigh unable to gain full points from their trip to Snowspire. Sparrowbottom move up to third following a 5-0 win over Bannabridge, the latter seem to be going off the boil somewhat now they've got the forty points generally accepted as being enough to avoid relegation.

Workers United 0–0 Bimlico
Bannabridge 0–5 Sparrowbottom Athletic
Snowspire Communal 0–0 Corcaigh
Areck Furness 4–1 An Blascaod Mór
Swinedon Town 1–1 Red Star Cork

James Connolly S.C. 0–1 Heathfield United
Castrograd S.C. 7–0 Hightop Hill
East Reading 1–1 Beningrad
Floriana RMI 1–0 Juahzhou

So with twenty-nine games played a number of sides can go into the final quarter of the season actually believing that they have a realistic chance of finishing as champions. To prove as much here's the tables.

SEASON THIRTEEN: CORRECTION

Caledon Simpson, eighth in the Liga Segunda, were wrongly marked as participating in the TQCC in the league tables. This should, of course, have read SBCC, and has been amended in the official league table accordingly.

by **Polar Islandstates** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:27 pm

I have finally come back to edit in my matchdays from this season. Enjoy!

MATCHDAY 21
Red Star Severny 4-1 Islay Town Mechanical
FC Cape St Paul 4-5 Jan Mayen Islanders
FC Axel Heiburg 2-1 North Star Grímsey
Koppen Rig Force 2-1 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-3 SK Franz Josef City
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-2 FC Torshavn
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 3-0 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
East Franz Athletic 0-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
Roxbury Welton scored his first ever hat trick for FC Cape St Paul and it still wasn't enough to beat a Jan Mayen side who appear to have the bit between their teeth. Valcárcel scoring a hat trick of his own before Krivac added two more goals to his fine season. Two goals from Wahlfleurs sealed the points for Axel Heiburg against North Star, and FC Torshavn won a fiery encounter in Yuzhny, neither side finishing with eleven players on the pitch. Dei Ormache had a rare bad day at the office in Barentsberg, hitting the post three times, but providing assists for Kjaer and Sivoli as SK won 3-1.

MATCHDAY 22
Jan Mayen Islanders 5-0 Red Star Severny
North Star Grímsey 1-3 Islay Town Mechanical
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 0-1 FC Cape St Paul
SK Franz Josef City 2-2 FC Axel Heiburg
FC Torshavn 2-0 Koppen Rig Force
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 1-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Scapa Bay Rovers 2-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC
East Franz Athletic 1-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
When I said Jan Mayne have the bit between their teeth, turns out I may have been more on the button than I gave myself credit for - fopr the second time in two matches they notch up five goals against their opposition, this time without reply. Another Valcárcel brace setting them on their way, with Aer and Krivac scoring in the ssecond half before Marek added the fifth late on. Elsewhere, Scapa Bay seal a priceless three points with a win over relegation rivals Yuzhny, and Resolute's season continues to sink with a 1-0 defeat at the Rendahl, Berghoff with the goal. Mackenzie scored as St Paul beat Bjarnarey and SK were held to a draw at home by a spirited FC Axel Heiburg, youngster Robin Flindt coming on to score his first goal for Axel Heiburg in the dying moments.

MATCHDAY 23
Red Star Severny 0-1 North Star Grímsey
Jan Mayen Islanders 8-0 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Islay Town Mechanical 3-3 SK Franz Josef City
FC Cape St Paul 1-0 FC Torshavn
FC Axel Heiburg 2-2 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
Koppen Rig Force 4-1 Scapa Bay Rovers
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-1 East Franz Athletic
Yuzhny Equinox FC 2-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
I am now starting to think that 'bit between the teeth' is a an understatement when it comes to Jan Mayen. Even Niko Marek is appearing on the score sheet more than once in a match, scoring twice for his team in the first half, before the floodgates opened. Poor Bjarnarey looked unable to deal with Jan Mayen's strength in midfield, and Lja, Hastings, Bosc, Eygenroy, and Krivac all got on the scoresheet before Aer scored a late goal himself. Eight goals, only one of which came from the strike force - Jan Mayen have a midfield to be proud of for sure. The Franz Josef sides drop another couple of points each as well, only a late Kvitchenko goal rescuing East Franz from a defeat in Barentsberg, whilst SK needed a brace from Ormache to cancel out Islay Town's first half lead.

MATCHDAY 24
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 2-1 Red Star Severny
SK Franz Josef City 5-1 North Star Grímsey
FC Torshavn 0-1 Jan Mayen Islanders
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 3-0 Islay Town Mechanical
Scapa Bay Rovers 1-1 FC Cape St Paul
East Franz Athletic 0-3 FC Axel Heiburg
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-2 Koppen Rig Force
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-0 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
East Franz just don't seem to have the heart for it at the moment, going down 3-0 at home to Axel Heiburg; Flindt, Huytspurr, and Wahlfleurs with the goals as Axel Heiburg continue to climb the table. SK do seem to have sensed the urgency of the situation however, and smashed North Star 5-1, Wunderlich and Ormache scoring in the first half, Sivoli and Irndtor adding the remainger after the break. Jan Mayen are held to one goal this time, Krivac's free kick doing the damage againt Torshavn. Zacharias Juul has a quiet game until the last few minutes to seal a dramatic win againt Resolute for Koppen Rig, and Barentsberg and Yuzhny share the points in a 0-0 deadlock that does neither of them any favours.

LATITUDE CUP Quarter Finals
FC Solovetsky Monastery 3-3 1. Lokomotiv Karlstadt (4-3 AET)
Novaya Sibir Reds 0-3 East Franz Athletic
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-1 FC Cape St Paul (1-1 AET, 2-3 PKs)
Scapa Bay Rovers 0-0 FC Axel Heiburg (0-0 AET, 1-2 PKs)
Oh, saving themselves for the cup, perhaps? A Berghoff hat trick blows the Reds out of the water, as east Franz set their sights on the Latitude Cup in the absence of SK and Jan Mayen. The other quaarter finals are far closer, all of them requiring extra time and even penalties in two cases. Solovetsky overcome Karlstadt with the even goal in seven after a late flurry of goals take it to 3-3 after full time. FC Cape St Paul take Resolute to penalties before overcoming them, Mackenzie with the the crucial penalty before his Bleak Rock teammate Rosenmeyer missed, and Scapa Bay and Heiburg take penalties to decide the winner after a goalless 120 minutes.

MATCHDAY 25
Red Star Severny 0-1 SK Franz Josef City

FC Cape St Paul 1-1 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
FC Axel Heiburg 4-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC

Will the scoring never end? Jan Mayen hit five for the third time in five matches, not even counting the time they went on to reach eight... Krivac, a Valcárcel hat trick, and Tomas Aer scoring the goals that Scapa Bay couldn't match. In Nunivak meanwhile, and funny how these things happen, Resolute Storm 1913 FC and FC Cape St Paul repeat their cup tie of the last weekend, and yet again 90 minutes can't separate them. East Franz carry a cup hangover however, and they go down 2-1 to a fiercely determined Islay Town Mechanical, Jens Forgrossand and Berghoff with the goals.

Yuzhny Equinox FC 1-3 Islay Town Mechanical
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 1-1 FC Cape St Paul
Koppen Rig Force 0-0 FC Axel Heiburg
Things start t oget very tense indeed from here on in, and all the teams are desparate for the points that will see them achieve their goals. With that in mind, Resolute Storm will be delighted with another crucial three points, and Jan Mayen will be disappointed that it came at their expense, with wave after wave of their attacking moves breaking on the rocks of the famed Resolute defence. SK took full advantage of the situation, notching up a 3-0 win away from home at the Stadion Nom-Nom Solberg. East Franz fail to capitalise on Jan Mayen's slip up however, and lose at home to a North Star side searching for confirmation of their own safety, Kwame Traore with the goal.

North Star Grímsey 0-1 Yuzhny Equinox FC
Jan Mayen Islanders 3-1 Lokomotiv Barentsberg
Islay Town Mechanical 1-0 Koppen Rig Force
FC Cape St Paul 2-1 FC Axel Heiburg
Jan Mayen win at home to Lokomotiv Barentsberg, sending the plucky Svalbard team back down again, Valcárcel and Krivac with the goals. The Elfsteijn Derby is therefore crucial for both Franz Josef sides, and they share the spoils in a hard fought 1-1 draw, Maarten Berg cancelling out Blonqvist's fortuitous opener on the hour mark. East Franz are now officially out of the title race, and looking over their shoulders at FC Cape St Paul with Jan Mayen stretching away from them in the second TQCC spot. Scapa Bay's surge hasn't gone unnoticed, every point counts, and a 0-0 away at Torshavn is nothing to be sniffed at. North star go down 1-0 at homw to Yuzhny in a result that complicates things nicely going into the end of the season.

MATCHDAY 28
Scapa Bay Rovers 4-3 Red Star Severny

Resolute Storm 1913 FC 1-1 FC Torshavn

Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-2 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Koppen Rig Force 3-1 North Star Grímsey
FC Axel Heiburg 6-3 Jan Mayen Islanders
FC Cape St Paul 2-1 Islay Town Mechanical
You can't say Jan Mayen haven't been involved in some thrilling games this cycle, a 6-3 at Axel Torvig Park simply the latest in a long line of results that have ensured a rollercoaster ride for manager Nicolaj Koch and his side. Valcárcel and Aer scoring goals in the first half before Axel Heiburg turned on the style with a Wahlfleurs hat trick. A Merkens double helped Axel Heiburg into a commanding position before Huytspurr and Marek added late consolations. SK Seized o n the situation as you might expect, and goals for Ormache and Sivoli put them a single win away from retaining their title. FC Cape St Paul consolidate their Globe Cup position with a home win over Islay Town, and another defeat for North Star will give Resolute and Yuzhny hope despite their own poor results today.

LATITUDE CUP Semi Finals
East Franz Athletic 1-0 FC Axel Heiburg
FC Cape St Paul 7-2 FC Solovetsky Monastery
Another break for the Latitude cup then, and the semi final stage is as exciting as I can remember it being in recent years. East Franz, for all their slump in league form, continue to perform well in the cup, and they play out a hard fought match with FC Axel Heiburg, turning out 3-0 winners in the end, Kvitchenko with the goal. The other result on the other hand, is one of the most one-sided semi finals I can ever remember seeing. A breathtaking performance from FC Cape St Paul eclipsed their lower league opposition seven times, Soreasu twice, Mackenzie twice, Welton twice, and Shmulikoski with the goals. Sammi Eisner scored twice for Solovetsky late on, but it was scant consolation for the monks as they saw St Paul progress to the final with East Franz.

MATCHDAY 29
Red Star Severny 0-1 East Franz Athletic
Scapa Bay Rovers 3-0 Resolute Storm 1913 FC
FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls 3-0 Yuzhny Equinox FC

SK Franz Josef City 7-1 Koppen Rig Force
FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla 0-0 FC Axel Heiburg
North Star Grímsey 1-3 FC Cape St Paul
Jan Mayen Islanders 1-0 Islay Town Mechanical
Jan Mayen secure a 1-0 win against the Mechanics with a headed goal from Valcárcel late on, but the title race is out of their hands, and whilst Koch may have secured his job after a shaky start, SK Franz Josef City have secured the title and ensured the silverware is headed back to the capital again with an emphatic 7-1 win over Koppen Rig Force. An Ormache hat trick was the jewel in the crown, but Krivac, Irndtor, Legeren, and Ljungberg also got in on the goalscoring action. North Star slip to a third successive defeat, but Surtsey's win over Yuzhny means the Equinox are following Barentsberg back down to Divisjon Two. Resolute also lose, but a North Star defeat next week coupled with a win for the Storm will see them stay up.

MATCHDAY 30
Resolute Storm 1913 FC 0-0 Red Star Severny
Yuzhny Equinox FC 0-3 East Franz Athletic
Lokomotiv Barentsberg 0-5 Scapa Bay Rovers
Koppen Rig Force 5-1 FC1. Surtsey Island Gulls
FC Axel Heiburg 1-1 FC Torshavn
FC Cape St Paul 4-4 SK Franz Josef City
Islay Town Mechanical 0-1 FC1. Bjarnarey Flotilla
Jan Mayen Islanders 4-0 North Star Grímsey
So the final day of the season has swung around again, with only the final relegation slot left to be decided. Sure enough, Resolute eyes were happy to see Aer, Krivac, and Bosc sink North Star at Victoria Stadium, but their team couldn't turn their own possession into a home victory over Red Star, and as a result the former Globe Cup team are sinking to Divisjon Two in a sad day for fans. East Franz warm up for the cup final with a win, a goal each for Berghoff, Kvitchenko, and Blonqvist keeping the sunken Yuzhny at bay. Scapa Bay hit five past a dismal Barentsberg who can't muster any fight to go down with pride, and Surtsey go down 5-1 away at Koppen Rig Force in a scoreline that massively flatters their hosts. FC Cape St Paul share the points with the champions in a 4-4 draw, Ormache scoring twice to overtake Valcárcel at the last minute to take the golden boot.

In Divisjon Two, Northbrook Diamonds have finished the job they started, and have taken the title with five points to spare. All the hard work has paid off and now the fans can look forwards to welcoming the very best teams to the very table top of the nation. Severnaya Zemlya 88 Equinox and SK Aasiaat Harbour also make it up, the two teams continuing to yo-yo between the top two divisions. Rapid SK Eysturoy continue to come on in leaps and bounds, and they take the last SBCC qualification slot from Solovetsky Monastery on the last day of the season. RSK Longyearbyen just failed in their bid for re-promotion by three points in the end. At the other end of the table, Spitsbergen, Stryær, and Mekoryuk are the teams unfortunate enough to feel the painful sting of relegation.

In Divisjon Three, Resolute Hills have slipped to a second successive relegation, capping off a bad season for all fans in the city of Resolute. Okholtsk Kholmsk, Sisimut Town, and severy Wingtips are the teams to follow them down, Sisimut and Okhotsk only lasting a single season in the division before heading back down again. At the happier end of the table, Rapid Jan Mayen seal the title and bounce straight back up again, whilst Grise Fiord improve on their fourth place finish from last season to also clinch promotion. FC Fetlar are the third team promoted, heading back up with dreams of where they once were.

The two physical sides went at it hammer and tong, but after Blonqvist's opener, Mackenzie and Soreasu combined to deadly effect three times in the second half, FC Cape St Paul the deserved winners in the end as 3rd in the league table beats 4th to put pressure on the manager after a disappointing season by East Franz's own high standards.

The West Zirconian National League:

In Division One, a record of sorts was set when Banks went the whole first half of the season (18 matches) without defeat, finally succumbing 3-2 at home to the mediocre Flockton Flavell in their 19th match. By this point they had opened up a 10-point lead over second-placed Bradley Hornets. An easy league win, one would imagine, but the Hornets closed in while the Riversiders were busy being complacent. As the final matchday approached, the Hornets led Banks by two points. Both faced fairly poor opposition - East Snaith and Currie respectively.

The final set of matches saw the following results:

East Snaith 1-5 Bradley Hornets
Currie 2-6 Banks

giving the title to Bradley Hornets. Taylor's Cross celebrated their first season at their new Wickett's Lock stadium with fourth place, and with it a place in the Globe Cup along perennial entrants Mort Park and Stanley United. At the other end, the New Scilly dream lasted just one season, with the Islanders being relegated in bottom place.

A very similar story unfolded in Division Two, where Houghton Kestrels, determined to bounce back after their first season outside the top flight, went eleven matches unbeaten - high-flying Saint-Christophe stopping them temporarily. Thereafter it was a two-horse race between the Kestrels and Wacker Neustadt. The Kestrels just had enough to fend off the Germanic challenge, but the two were promoted together. Tîm Cymru and Underwood Town became the latest of the old guard to fall into the regional divisions.

Halliwell Wanderers and Eastham Panthers became the latest teams to try their luck in the national divisions after winning their regional leagues.
