Session H

As usual, you should check out the press magazine.

First Division

ZENITH DIVISION

The Seattlelites finally accomplish the unthinkable, dealing Oulu their first loss of the season, a 75th-minute goal in a home match. Coupled with an Argyle draw, Oulu are now only 1 point up for the EEFL title, and behind Southampton on goal difference. The Neophytes take their worst beating in, well, almost forever, losing to a surprised Orchestra as well as Oulu. The sole MVP of the session goes to the d-EFAULT, who trim Seattle and OML while drawing the Neophytes. That collection in the middle should provide some fun over the next few weeks as they jockey for Cup seedings.

Upper Promovals

BINNEY DIVISION

In the match of the week, HAL 9000 scores for the Automata and Grove saves a penalty immediately afterward as Adirondack turn away the Clansmen for an important win. Bordeaux see their promotional dreams go down the tubes as all 6 teams double their point totals. The Fireworkers roll to another excellent session, despite a late goal by Leuven.

SMITH DIVISION

Arsenal beat the division leaders and Comedians to bump the Bootleggers back to 3rd place. The Comedians move up with wins over BLG and Plymouth, and Shamrock win their other two matches to grab the current lead. Other than discounting Argyle at this point, I wouldn't want to make book on this division.

Second Division Leftovers

ENNUI DIVISION

Adelaide nail some 1-0 wins to move up in the standings, and da Gurlz put 2 wins with a draw to maintian first. Last place has 2 wins, so the race for the TP prize is still very much alive. Anyone going to beat Martin for excitement?

Middle Promovals

FROBNICATE DIVISION

The Ex-Presidents again score 3 wins on 3 goals, and now look very good to promote. The Bombers hold the opposition to 3 goals, 2 of them in the second half, but they haven't been able to pull as much as a draw yet, despite being nasty enough to hold out against the leaders for 68 minutes. The Eagles lose their 4th straight on a last-minute goal, but finally get 2 points from Bainbridge. White Beach lose the match of the week to Ankkalinna, but take revenge by winning their other 2 matches and taking over second place when Ankkalinna can manage only to equalize against Fras.

TWEAK DIVISION

Wee Alpha score another win to hold onto second place, while the Brotherhood wreak havoc on the division. Forget the wild-card promotion from this division, guys; you're going to need a point from LSB to beat out the other 2nd-place teams.

TWIDDLE DIVISION

Dirac scores at minute 21, and Athletico take over the lead from the Saints. The Juggernaut and Chaos have a scoring contest, with the Chaos losing by a goal and falling into the pack. The Capitals have learned some excellent defense and come home with 2 points against a relatively nasty field.

Third Division Leftovers

BENNY DIVISION

Altoona start warming up for their 3rd Plate appearance 8-) as they roll over the opposition again for a commanding lead. The Tigers and Beerbellies get their first wins, and the Taskers manage to mess things up by dropping back into a tie with the Gunners.

BURNS DIVISION

Faroe and the Misfits both beat Linlithgow, making the race a real 4-way struggle. The Oldies claim an upset against Mississauga.

HOPE DIVISION

Valencia deal the Barrabases their first loss, and the Musicians take an MVP to put 4 teams no more than a point from the lead. The Blowfish get their first point, and Westminster salvage a pair of draws to remain in contention. A 5-team race for the first-place prize, and only 4 matches left.

Lower Promovals

BRACE DIVISION

The Vultures stun the former division leaders 1-0, and the Philosophers take over the lead. Pierrepont are riding a single goal against perfect defense to stay in the race. WA-HA don't score, but the also don't lose much, and remain ahead of the Vultures with 4 draws. The Hombres grab 5 points to join the fun.

HARCOURT DIVISION

The Bohs beat the Wookies to tie on points, and the two teams look very good for the top 2 spots in the division as the Lions and Mutants fall back. The Eagles and Gorillas give up one goal each to maintain their equity at the bottom of the table.

INCORPORATED DIVISION

Mulhouse beat the Freaks while the Thundering Herd fall to the Physicists, leaving SA with a 2-point lead toward promotion. Three points for the Utensils, including a 5-1 win over the Cricketeers, give them second place with a comfortable goal differential.

WORLD DIVISION

The Crunchers bring down Well-Tempered FC, and Blud Feud grab an MVP to make this a very close race for promotion.

Fourth Division Leftovers

GRIMALDI DIVISION

Two wins are just enough to keep the Tumbleweeds ahead of Raleigh, and Tollcross put together two wins for the first time in club history.

WINDSOR DIVISION

The Kennel Club make a run for the money, and an 8-0 win give them first place on goal difference. The Sundowners get their first win on a first-half goal against FC Borg. A pair of goals, 6 minutes apart, give Borg an upset over Hentais for their first win.
