Sporting League: Game 35
Tranquilayers and Universo Collunteen played in what had to be the game of the season which finished as a two – two draw. Sporting Radio Pundit S: ‘Well I’m down here at the Universo stadium and watching as the grounds people set up the post match sprinkling system. Boy oh boy, that was some game out there. It was a bit odd when the Tranquilayers no.2 player kissed his badge at the Universo end. Yeah…honest he kissed the badge. The Tranquilayers boss literally ran the length of the pitch to pull him off. I think it’s possible that the bosses actions may well have saved a full scale riot from taking place out there.
Bayerns took advantage of the draw between the top two with a one goal to nil win over Sporting Athlete.
Pointeso won by three goals to one away to Lunderbach. Pointeso gaffer: ‘We’d qualify for the summer Triangular Pitch Tournament but I’ve gotta go with the old cliche of one game at a time.’
Sporting City celebrated their flagship ‘Culture In The Community’ programme by releasing twenty thousand silver football shaped balloons into the grey skies.’

Universo Collunteen came back from two goals behind to grab a three goals to two win over Pacifica.
The Athletico boss threatened to walk at the end of the season after his side won by four goals to one away to Delta. Sporting Radio pundit X: ‘Aye, well we’ve heard it all before – I’m telling you that they need to get real and accept the money ain’t like in their halcyon days of the early 1990’s.’
The Sporting League: Game 33
Tranquilayers hit their form after putting six goals past Chamber Athlete. Chamber boss: ‘I think the ol’ Layers are gunner stroll it. We couldn’t get anywhere near ’em…chasin’ shadows.’
Novia and Bayerns finished two goals each in a game which saw the Novia control for long spells.
Novia boss: ‘I think we were always going to throw a spanner in the works out there today. However, we really need to stay focused if we want to have any chance of finishing in the top three or four.’
Universo Collunteen held onto the lucrative third position with a one – nil win at home to Drakens. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘Well, I think Universo are going to find it tough handing over their beloved crown, but they’re certainly looking odds on for the third place. I think they could also qualify for the Triangular Pitch championships if they hang on in there.’
Pundit Y: ‘I think the Triangular Pitch qualifiers should still go to the top two. We got banned from it after the Basket Vac debacle in the year 2000 and I gets me a bit of an inkling that we won’t be welcomed with open arms since the ban on The Sporting League.’
The Sporting: League Game 32
Tranquilayers and Pointeso cancelled each other out in a game that finished nil – nil. Pointeso boss: ‘I thought that we were a bit unlucky at the end of the game not to have got a penalty. Our players have shown a lot of discipline in recent games…we’ve given ourselves a lot of credit with that performance.’
Bayerns were left kicking themselves as they failed to take advantage of the Tranquilayers draw as they were held by old adversaries Athletico. Bayerns supporter: ‘If we fail to go at teams with real pace like Tranquilayers then we’ll give ourselves a chance.’
Sporting League: Game 31
Tranquilayers purred through the gears as they beat Yop Lane by two goals to nil.
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I think that the Yoppites tried to get a Tranquilayers far too quickly. Look, they’ve got to get some younger players in now. Forget about the race to finish in the top six. They looked shot after just twenty minutes. Someone once said that you can’t win anything with kids…well the same could be said for ageing players.’
Bayerns won by four goals to nil despite fielding a second string squad. Bayerns boss: ‘We needed people to step up to the plate I wasn’t let down thats for sure…’
Pointeso maintained their recent goal fest after putting four past Pacifica. Pointeso boss: ‘I believe that we’re gonna challenge for he title next season. I’m pleased to see that we’re also top of the recent form pile. If we can get past the eighty point mark at game thirty eight then I’ll agree that it’s been job done. OK, I accept that we’re by no means the finished article but lets judge after the last game.’
