The Sporting League: Game 38

Tranquilayers won their first title since 1995 and their fourth overall with a hard fought one – nil win over Saints.

Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘The Tranquilayers number one played an absolute blinder and will book a place in the club’s folklore. That save in the firsy minute was truly magical. I’m watchin’ now as the Tranquilayers pitch fill up with their usually reserved conservative support base. Fireworks, euphoria – i don’t think the supporters can believe that they’re champions after sixteen long years.’

Bayerns were snuffed out at the death against Pointeso in a match that had the past versus the future written all over it. Bayerns boss: ‘I’d like to congratulate Tranquilayers on their success and they’re gong to enjoy the moment. We need to look at ourselves and give it a few days to decide what we’re going to do to get ourselves ready for next season.’

Drakens and Indentine waved goodbye to the league for a second time after defeats to Pacifica and Athletico.

Pundit X: ‘Well, I’m lookin’ forward to me hols in The Hilti Forest over the summer. I’ll be doin’ the ol’ weights and gettin’ myself in shape on the ol’ golf circuit.’

Pundit Y: ‘It won’t last bro’…you can’t keep away from the health spa buffets, nickin’ the ol’ chocolate on the sly at midnight from the ol’ mini bar…’

The conversation continued across the Sporting City airwaves as the blue fireworks shimmered in the night sky.

Tranquilayers won by three goals to one against Green Tree leaving them one win away from the title if they beat Saints or if Bayerns fail to win against Pointeso.

Sporting radio Pundit X: ‘Tranquilayers looked keen, alive and were playing one or two touch stuff. Poor old Green Tree were chasing shadows for the vast part of that game.’

Bayerns made easy work of their opponents Yop Lane to take the title into the last game of the season. Bayerns supporter: ‘We played well today, but I’ve always said that we needed to take our chances in those games against Tranquilayers. It’s going to be a nervy final day. I’m just hoping that Saints can do us a favour and Pointeso are having a rare off day.’

Athletico got their revenge for the defeat by their neighbours earlier in the season with a three goals to nil win over Chamber Athlete.

Olby players were furious after they had two goals ruled out as they went down by a goal to nil against the now former champions Universo Collunteen. Olby boss: ‘We tore ’em apart for much of the game, but it seems that the ref was a Universo supporter.’

We’ve got two games left, so nows the time to stay focused on the challenge that lies in wait against Haaveno.’

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.’
