What excitement !!

VAR has been used for the first time in a Cup match. There's bound to be controversy !

7 hours left with 2 players still to show up... Come on down !

I think any confusion here arises from OldClaret101 who posted on the wrong thread

Spots advice:

'...If sending them via e-mail, leave a line on here to say that's what you've done...'

I'm having half orange and a rub down with the Sporting Pink while we wait results!

We will decide if that happens. With the End of Season Cup, there's is likely to be a replay. With the Michael Duff Trophy, both could go through cos they're a player light for the 2nd Round (If that makes sense)

No, Thank You !

Mr Top Tier's arrival means that ALL Round 1 matches have been decided in the "End of Season Cup". Because there are still games to be decided in the Michael Duff Trophy, the results cannot be posted at this time but, me and Spot are on the ball

How about sorting draws by order of who was the earliest of the pair to send in their answers?
eg in my case claretblue would go through.

Just googled st vitus dance

I'm worried about enough at the moment

A replay is the fairest way but (Shhhhhhhhh) not required in the End of Season Cup in this Round

And, it could always be worse. Look on the bright side. St Vitus Dance isn't as bad as being a Wovers supporter

very sporting of you HunterST but if we draw I’d sooner we have penalties...or at worst draw swords to sort out who goes through!

best of luck in the next round!

15 mins to go. The excitement is toooo much

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:01 pm

Michael Oliver has blown for FULL TIME on what has been an exciting, and eventful, first Round of The Cup.

You have to feel sympathy for Sausage who met Buxton in "Buxton" form !

But, the story of the Round concerns the match between CricketField73 and Dazzler. At 89 minutes, the scores were tied. Dazzler demanded a VAR check on Cricket Field's score and, right enough, Spot had slipped up with his abacus and Dazzler went through 11-10.

Additionally, JellyBelly went out with a score that would have won in two matches and drawn in two others! Still, there's always next year.

RESULTS are now in. PLEASE check your scores !

Draw for Round 2 will be made shortly. Here are the numbers to listen out for...

1. Buxton
2. Wilks
3. Sproggy
4. Barry Chuckle
5. Firthy
6. Dazzler
7. Hunter ST
8. Goobs

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Tue Apr 21, 2020 6:23 pm

Draw for Round 2

Is spot going to give us a clue for where the ball could be found?

Great.
I avoid Buxton but get firthy who’s on “Buxton” form

Well chuffed with that but don't worry Wilks, Buxton can do it again, mine was just a fluke.
