JUST LIKE A SUCKERPUNCH
There are now only 2 teams left in the 2002/03 WSFFL title race, with Kylie Bumcheeks now only one win away from securing their first league title. The hotly-anticipated showdown between the top 2, Kylie Bumcheeks and Aardvark Abacus, ended in a 3-3 stalemate, with both managers ruing leaving out crucial players who may have won each of them the game (Lauren for the Abacus, and Robbie Savage for the Bumcheeks).
Boston Rock’s mathematical chances of winning the title were KO’ed by the Groove Machine, who notched an impressive 4-1 win over the “Sky Heroes”. David Sommeil’s double earned Rich the win and the POTW £100,000 in his birthday week. Well done Big Man.
Elsewhere, Trusted returned to winning ways, beating Fred West 3-1, and Real Muppets’ recent fine run was ended by a solitary N’Gotty goal, giving Prettier Than You the win. San Dimas’ 3-0 win over York’s Returning Glory was also notable, in that it lifted the ever-enthusiastic Peej off 15th spot, Peej being replaced by his opponents Yorks in second from bottom slot.
So, we now look to the WSFFL Cup Final next weekend, W/E 26th April. Can Aardvark Abacus secure the first part of a possible double, or will Trusted’s strike force hold sway? Watch this space!

THE FF£100,000 QUESTION
A two-parter this week.
Don, Johnny, Ronnie, Ron, Ronnie, Ron, Johnny, Ron, Ron. Who are they and who’s next in the sequence?
One guess per person to me by close of play on Saturday 26 April 2003.
Kenneth Kristensen went from Vindbjart to Flekker for his weight in prawns. Apparently the motive behind his wanting to move was for a girl in Flekker. Let’s hope he didn’t turn up on his first date with her with his cut of the transfer fee to impress her.
Ryan went for fresh shrimp, which was close enough, so another quiz question right for Ryan! £100,000 goes to Real Muppets.
Peej went for potatoes and Dave for fish. Sorry but no cigar.
SHORTS
I like these – from Peej:
“You know you've had a poor fantasy football season when - Your team's not mentioned in the opening para of Sheriff's report!”
“You know you've had a poor fantasy football season when - If you win your last three you're still in the bottom half!”
