Sporting League: Game 24
Leaders Bayerns made hard work of their match against Indentine, finally running out as two goals to one winners. Bayerns boss: I never doubted that we’d get a result here, but the opposition made it difficult for long spells. I think Indentine are one of those love ’em hate ’em clubs – I love ’em coz we beat ’em! Novia won their game against Yop Lane with two fine first half strikes from their number one player. Novia chairperson: ‘Well that kept them quiet didn’t it? We heard so much hype from Yop Lane prior to the match that I was getting a bit of the old earache! Well done to our lot for keeping them quiet. I mean, who wants to lose against a team with the most ridiculous name in Sporting League history?’ Olby lost touch with the leaders after stumbling by a goal to nil against a rejuvenated Colne who looked as though they wanted to make a break away from the drop zone.
Sporting Radio: Pundit ‘x’: ‘Now onto the old question of Red Star. They’re technically very good but they can’t keep themselves consistent…big problem! Here’s the quandary for me…how many youngsters can they fit in? It’s near impossible to learn on the job at Sporting League level…’ Pundit ‘Y’: ‘Aye, yeah, never thought about it that way really…’
Yop Lane continued with their impressive first year of Sporting football with a two goals to nil win over Zindustrious. Yop boss: ‘Fifth place after twenty three games…I’d have taken that at the start of the season, yeah. The kids now need to push on and steady the ship until we find out what our budget will be in the summer transfer market.’
Novia dropped a couple of points against Green Tree in a match that ended up a goal a piece. Novia boss: ‘Look, I don’t mind going to play at Green Tree, but they’re always having sit ins – I’d just wish they’d wait until we get ourselves on the coach before getting the camp fires burnin’.
Novia won the big match of the day with a solid performance against Athletico – winning by a solitary goal.. The Novia boss has joined an undisclosed three top clubs in the chase for the new stars of The Colbreck league, currently plying their trade at Breekins as their contracts expire over the summer. Novia’s new director of football believes that he can lure the duo to the club, despite tough competition…Bayerns sure made hard work of their win over Metronova, eventually running out as winners by two goals to one….The Red Star boss launched an unprecedented tirade of aggression towards the Chamber Athlete bench as the reds also went down by two goals to one. Naturally, the Sporting Federation will be reviewing the situation before inevitable action is taken. Red Star boss…’If the ol’ top brass want to play silly buggers then bring it on. I’m keepin’ my mouth well and truly closed – in fact – if they want to fine me, I won’t be communicating with the press for as long as I’m involved in the game.’
A painting found under a sofa at Indentine stadium has been reportedly valued at 1000,000 sportingos.

Game 21
Pundit ‘X’: ‘Come on man, admit it, the referee was a comedian! There were two goals by Bayerns that shouldn’t have been allowed but you don’t wanna see it – nothing changes eh?’ Pundit ‘Y’: ‘I’m not sure you’ve been studying the offside rule in recent years. I think it was just another disappointing result from Colne, who, lets face it promised so much early doors. I think they were put to the sword by one of the big guns and that’s about it. No argument…’ The result ended with a three goals to two away victory for Bayerns…Novia looked like the champions again with a four goals to nil win away at former fortress Bombaya…Zindustrious put a shift in at the Athletico stadium but ran out of steam as the whites came back from a goal behind to win by three goals to two.
Sporting Radio: Pundit ‘X’ : ‘What was all that going down with the demonstrations at Sporting City the other day? From what I could see, was the silver spoon brigade, you know the types, those sort of characters, the union reps in the designer suits, students from the exclusive Hilti forest region quaffing champagne on a day out to upset mummy and daddy.’ Pundit ‘Y’: ‘Oh man, this is gonna be a long shift. I saw a whole lot different folk down there the other day, Don’t you think there is a very serious problem in The Sporting League at the moment? We might not be havin’ anythin’ to commentate on if things carry on the way they are…’
The Sporting League: Game 20
Metronova had a reverse in fortunes with a comeback against the youngsters of the league Colne. Sporting Radio Pundit A:‘It was hot out there today, good to see the return of the summer, the familiar sounds of the motorbikes coming from the Colne bike circuit.’ Pundit B: ‘I agree, the sound of motorbikes really does define this part of the Sporting region, but unfortunately for Colne, it seemed that Metronova were the ones using the horse power out there today.’
Bayerns boss: ‘I can’t believe we managed to get the win against Universo today, they were all over us. We’ve got some unbelievable defenders in our team – I’ve never seem so many shots on target for a Bayerns opponent. How we managed to win that one, I’ll never know.’
Olby missed out on the chance of joining the leaders as they were held at home to a nil-nil draw against a particularly stubborn Lunderbach.
Novia hammered Chamber Athlete by four goals to one. Novia boss: ‘Pleased with that one, we got the bounce of the ball and that was a result that’s certainly gonna help as we move rapidly towards the business end of the season.’
