Sporting League: Game 38
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘Well, what a day we’ve had! Novia are the champions for the second time in three years staging a remarkable comeback in the league. My bank manager is pleased with my spread betting form of late, and this is just the icing on the cake for me as I put a few quid on the Novia lifting The Sporting Trophy. To let you guys into a bit of a secret, I had a wee premonition at the start of the season. I was walking through Sporting City Zone 45 Y on the first day of the season and the sun hit the Millosh building. That’s when my premonition happened; I could see the Novia players streaming across the pitch holding aloft the immortal trophy. It’s the stuff of legends wot happened out there today. The Universo fans still look dazed.’
Universo believed that they’d won the league after falsely leaked info suggesting that Novia had drawn against Olby, when in fact they scored two injury time winners to seal the championship. Novia boss: ‘I’ve been speechless until now, I really thought that Universo were the champions as we couldn’t get anything past the Olbs.’
Athletico continued their growing reputation as the close but no cigar crew after starting the day in pole position but could only manage a one all draw with Delta…Bayerns held on to a top five finish with a two nil win to relegate Liver Halvers.
Dethroned champions Bayerns poured further misery upon Universo Collunteen by holding them to a one – one draw. Universo boss: ‘We’ve fallen off the top now, so we’ll have to get the win in our last game and see how the other results fall. I think it’s important not to lose perspective here, because we were playing the champions who had their pride at stake,.’
Athletico moved to the top with one game left to play after beating Chamber Athlete by three goals to nil…Novia strolled to victory after beating Sporting Athlete by three goals to nil away from home. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘ I’m looking at the fixtures for the final game and can see Novia pipping this one. I’m lookin’ at throwin a few pennies at that one.’
Meanwhile, back in the basement, Green Tree won the battle between the eighteenth and nineteenth placed squads after winning one goal to nil against Liver Halvers.
One more game until the day of reckoning…
Sporting league Game 36
Sporting Radio Pundit R: ‘I would just question, to some it might seem rather silly but was that the match where Universo bottled it? Look, their form has definitely dipped at the end of the season, two games to go and they are made to look ordinary in the one – one draw with relegation candidates Green Tree.‘
Athletico took full advantage of the faltering Universo campaign after completely blitzing relegated Zindustrious…Novia continued their amazing form and had ninety percent possession against a second string Tranquilayers team.
The battle between seventeenth and eighteenth placed Metronova and Liver Halvers ended in a one – one draw, both teams are still in grave danger of falling through the trapdoor into the void of oblivion.
