Hock-A-Loogie Gazette - Golden Spittoon I - Cup News - 25th March 2013

Hey there sports fans,


We draw ever nearer to the conclusion of this exciting first cup run, but who has booked their spots in the final? Who will fight the final battle to lift the first Golden Spittoon and be immortalised (not that some players aren't already)? Keep reading and you'll find out!

To add to the tension, the gods saw fit to meddle in the games this week by creating a time loop just after the games were completed and wiped them from existence. This meant the games had to be replayed much to all coaches annoyances. We here at Gobit HQ (Spittoon administration association) have submitted a complaint and hope that this will be a rare occurrence in future!
Editor: The servers seem to go down intermittently and without apology or explanation from the software company. I think this is a risk we have to take. I have registered my annoyance with them along with several people!


Results


Velvet Vandals 1-0 Frome Town Howlers


The Frome Town Howlers braved the scorching heat of the Amazonian jungle to try and take a win from the unbeaten Velvet Vandals. Sadly as suspected the baking sun proved too much for the necromantic team and they lost to a single touchdown. In what the Vandals coach described as a scrappy match.

Pit Fiends FC 2-0 Weirdites

On the other side of the weeks fixtures the Weirdites travelled through the swamps to the blood pits to play against the Pit Fiends. The Fiends knew they had to win to have a chance at a final spot and went all out to cause maximum damage. With an early offensive play by the elves being brought down it was all one way traffic after that. Including the tragic death of the Weirdites catcher in a horn impalement incident.

Once the results were in the Fiends were unhappy to say the least to discover that despite having the same points and TD difference the Howlers were selected to go through to the final against the Vandals. The Fiends made quite a mess in the press conference and took the association representatives skull as their own trophy in compensation. I'm sure this wont be the last time we see them though.

So the final is:

Velvet Vandals vs Frome Town Howlers

Some say the Vandals took an easy route to the final but they've proven themselves more than capable against the Howlers. We eagerly look forward to this final!

They say all good things must come to an end but not so with the Spittoon. Hot on the heels of the final is the second cup. Please get your submissions in over Easter as we are aiming to start the cup on or around the 4th April.

We have also restarted the Wizard Head Open League for anyone who wishes to practice in the break.
