h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Lots of clean sheets this week, and a fair sprinkling of points. The chasing pack moves closer to MT at the top and it looks like we might have a real battle for top place come Christmas time.

Top scorer, for the second successive week, is Skankyrich: this week with a highly-impressive 19 points.

In the cup, there was a ding-dong battle between Sprout and Nirvanite, and also between Psycorp and Magwitch, but league leader MT was comfortably dumped out at the hands of third-placed Bubba-fretts. Those all-important cup results in full:

Los Champignones (Skankyrich) 19 - (-3) Dickie Hart & The Pacemakers (SBE)
Slap Up My Team (McKay) 3 - 12 Unreal Madrid (Andy G)
Bye - Seventeen (GreyDesk)
Sven Produces Losses (DD) (-3) - 11 Toilet Rabbit Albion (Trin)
Double Trouble (Sprout) 11 - 14 Real Losers United FC (Nirvanite)
Athletico Aardvark (Magwitch) 14 - 11 FC Ragazza Della Torta (Psycorp)
Lord Rockingham's XI (Egon) (-1) - 9 The Terranic Knights (Terran)
Limited Resources (Bubba) 14 - 7 Organcheese Academicals (MT)

**gets out his balls**

The random draw for the next round, therefore, is as follows:

Athletico Aardvark (Magwitch) v The Terranic Knights (Terran)
Seventeen (GreyDesk) v Toilet Rabbit Albion (Trin)
Los Champignones (Skankyrich) v Limited Resources (Bubba)
Real Losers United FC (Nirvanite) v Unreal Madrid (Andy G)

These matches will be played over next weekend's full set of Premiership fixtures. Good luck!

Typical. Best ever cup result and I still lose.

Have you never won a cup match, then?

Yay! I'm through to the second round

Not that I can remember. I'm sure if I have some Statto or other will enlighten me.

I think the refs are a bit harder on the Organcheese players. You can see it through the glaucoma and the cataracts. We get penalised more often than anyone else. The oppression manifests itself in scuffed shots going out for throw-ins and defensive errors of Taibi proportions. Tall poppy syndrome they call it.
