Div III.14 done. Pow!

Nice write-up (and the undercover jibes in!) but yes I am now paying attention to the league(ish), once cup run is over! but yes I have to work out how to beat clontarf to make a success of the season.

P.S. should I be honoured my teams logo is used on the page?!

Would you believe you're the only team in your league with a logo! I'm planning to spice things up with as many pictures as possible, but III.14 let me down

Yeah, I had Clontarf in III.3 before, I always thought they were the team to beat in that one, yet they never managed to win it. New setup though, as I said he's spent a lot of money, no doubt after realising the Div II level.

So by rights I should win since I got bored and made a logo!;)

Had noticed the expenditure alright - had me kind of worried but its three players he has bought. and I believe in my main guys!

You're a good man Satory, a good man.

Yeah... think he may be a bit of a sloppy buyer though, still way out of my league, but your team may be good enough to force open the cracks.

Good write up Frankie! I've gone with a calculated risk of wnwim. Manager not logged in since Sunday, team has 199 & 180 second rows. Pummel corners & hope to get the breaks!

Yeah, I think he got promoted and spent his money on buying big CSR players in order to compete, without pay attention to the finer details or really looking at the long game. He easily has bigger CSR numbers than many respectable Div III teams (like yourself) but they're either nearly finished their career or they've got un-trainable faults. Still a good effort on his part, I hope you don't regret that WNWIM... he may have set his team the minute he saw his league result.

was looking good stat-wise coming up to half-time but he was 0-5 ahead. got two tries in last few minutes of half to lead 12-5. hopefully will hang on and not live to regret gambling!

(feel lucky since trip to vegas!:D )

It wasn't as good as previous attempts, but there were some major curve balls there. Next round will hopefully be a bit easier, seems to be most of the Div I sides lined up against Div III types, so a bit more obvious me thinks.

Just posted a review of my preview up on the site, just looking at what unexpecting things went on. Some fascinating stats in some of the matches, a lot of the big teams really let themselves down with tactics.
