Sporting League Season 2008-2009

Game 1

Novia came straight out of the traps with a two goals away win over Colne…Novia gaffer: ‘ Well, I’m happy with that start, I’ve brought a few kids in and they earned their stripes out there today.’ Pointeso celebrated their introduction to Sporting League football with a nil-nil draw against champions Bayerns.It’s been suggested that Pointeso will bring something of an avant garde edginess to Sporting League culture. Sporting radio: Pundit a: ‘Look mate, if you call that nonsense dancing on the centre circle I’d eat my hat if I owned one.’ Pundit B: ‘Come on, wake up, smell the coffee and get real…the youngies love all that stuff down in Athletico city…I quite liked it..’

Red Star poured further misery on Tranquilayers with a 4-1 away triumph.

Sporting League: Game 38

Sporting Radio: Pundit X: ‘Well we got the top gig in providing post match analysis on the last game of the season – and what a day we’ve had!’

Pundit Y: ‘Aye, it was a day and a half that’s for sure, I must admit that I can’t believe that my team threw it away on the last day…sorry, I know I’m supposed to stay impartial, but Novia…you’ll never get a better chance to retain your championship – what were you lot playing at?’

Pundit X: ‘Looks like we’ll be joining the dethroned Novia supporters to drown our sorrows later on this evening…but we’ve got a great show lined up this evening…’

Ex champions Olby stood by their word and made life difficult for a tired looking Novia with a one goal to nil victory. Novia boss: ‘Credit to the lads out there today, I’m still waiting for the Bayerns result to come through but it looks like we’ve blown it to be honest…can’t really say any more to you guys at the moment, it’s very emotional for the players in the dressing room.’

Bayerns took their first title for four years with a solid performance against Delta. Bayerns boss: ‘Brillaint, can’t believe it to be fair! I thought Novia were gonna get at least a draw against Olby. Our players were so low after our defeat to Novia two weeks ago, but we continued to believe in ourselves, digging deep and here we are with the Sporting League trophy! I’ve got huge respect for our board, who in spite of all the financial difficulties over the last year, made funds available in the New Year…that was the key for us.’

Athletico recorded the highest ever points tally for third place (ninety two points) with a two goals to one win over Tranquilayers. Athletico chairperson: ‘ Lovely performance there. I’m well pleased with all the staff, remember, we’re the only truly independent club in The Sporting League and the financial rewards for a top three finish in the current climate cannot be underestimated.’

Dons joined Indentine as the second relegated team as they were beaten in a fiery performance by Bombaya. Dons boss: ‘We’ll do the tour for a few years, we need the time out to be fair. I criticised Bombaya at the start of the game for their commitment, but I’ve gotta eat my words now.’

**Dons have now officially sacked their boss as they have said there needs to be a ‘serious downscale of the company.’ (Dons PR dept).

Sporting Athlete return to the league next season after winning the Vello Cup.

Pointeso were also voted into the league after a successful pitch made in Sporting City – beating two hundred competitors.
