I’ve been away counting the money and with 109 teams paid (£545), £60 spent on MoM mugs and £65 income from Amazon we have a prize pot of £550 - to be split as follows:
League Winner: £200 (Stu’s Super Saints)
2nd Place: £75
3rd Place: £25
As it was a joint 2nd then each team picks up £50 (Tullibody United and Jane’s Buddies)
Cup Winner: £100 (Jerry Hat Tricks)
Trophy Winner: £50 (Tullibody United)
Super 16s Winner: £100 (Tengo Un Burro Grande)
Cheques are ready and waiting for addresses (emails to simon@simonsffl.com) - Stuart and Jane, Denise will deliver these to you. Decided to dispense with the trophies this yr - it will take me an age to get round to it, and its less cash for you to spend on a Wii or Xbox 360
Well done all, and thanks for being part of it!
Congratulations to our winner by some distance Stuart Ross. A terrific effort.
Sorry for delays, just back from holiday, the backlog of prizes will start winging their way out now and I’ll post the prize money details by the end of the week.
Unfortunately we wont be able to run a Euro 2008 comp this year, we’ve absolutely left it too late
This post is purely to pay tribute to a hero who has passed today.
Tommy Burns, may you rest in peace.
Ok, so you reckon the award for most intermittent blog-style updates goes to us - graciously accepted! We’ve still been doing the points which is the important thing after all. As usual we dont have long, so….
Manager of the Month
A backlog has built with 4 prizes to announce:
January - Tullibody United
February - Sarah’s Stars
March - This is How I Roll!
April - Dublin Bhoy
So thats congratulations to Craig, Sarah, Gary and John Paul and the mugs are on their way(so I’ll be in touch to get addresses)
Ramping it up….
The Cup
In a very close final it was the Jerry Hat-Tricks who overcame Andy Loy’s Blue & White Army, well done to Jude Austin (again we’ll bein touch). In the Trophy it was less close with Tullibody United dishing out a very strong admonishment (thrashing just isnt PC….) to Danny’s Bhoys who could have been the youngest trophy winnners….
Super 16s information coming next………..over and out I have a Wednesday update to do dontcha know!
So thanks to the 40-odd managers who furnished our begging bowls with the entrance money. We firmly accept our part in not asking for cash up front, yet still plead with the final 30-odd to pay up. (NB. it seems there’ve been occasional problems with Paypal, so if you think you paid and keep getting reminders it probably didn’t work. Double check if you got an email receipt from Paypal! Sorry.)
Saying that we’ll continue down the merry road. This update is to announce that the Super 16s comp kicks off on Saturday 12th April (click here for the full draw and to compare team sheets) - yes thats tomorrow. The advertised qualifying period of pre 17th March stands and ordinarily it would be the top 16 who qualify.However, one of the top 16 as at 17th March has not paid, Bab G’s 11. So there is no room at the inn for Mona and we have promoted Tengo Un Burro Grande into her place…..
And here we go, we’re really copying the AFL (Aussie Rules) but the last 16 will be seeded with 1v16, 2v15 and so on in a ladder format until the final 2 play (in theory 1st v 2nd).
Next update will have the Cup winners (still a finalist to pay), so no results until we have that fiver and the catch up on Managers of the Month.PS. Its a Ross one-two at the moment with Stuart and Jane vying for that top spot
