Universo Collunteen came back from two goals behind to grab a three goals to two win over Pacifica.
The Athletico boss threatened to walk at the end of the season after his side won by four goals to one away to Delta.

The Sporting League: Game 33
Tranquilayers hit their form after putting six goals past Chamber Athlete. Chamber boss: ‘I think the ol’ Layers are gunner stroll it. We couldn’t get anywhere near ’em…chasin’ shadows.’
Novia and Bayerns finished two goals each in a game which saw the Novia control for long spells.
Novia boss: ‘I think we were always going to throw a spanner in the works out there today. However, we really need to stay focused if we want to have any chance of finishing in the top three or four.’
Universo Collunteen held onto the lucrative third position with a one – nil win at home to Drakens. Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘Well, I think Universo are going to find it tough handing over their beloved crown, but they’re certainly looking odds on for the third place. I think they could also qualify for the Triangular Pitch championships if they hang on in there.’
Pundit Y: ‘I think the Triangular Pitch qualifiers should still go to the top two. We got banned from it after the Basket Vac debacle in the year 2000 and I gets me a bit of an inkling that we won’t be welcomed with open arms since the ban on The Sporting League.’
The Sporting: League Game 32
Tranquilayers and Pointeso cancelled each other out in a game that finished nil – nil. Pointeso boss: ‘I thought that we were a bit unlucky at the end of the game not to have got a penalty. Our players have shown a lot of discipline in recent games…we’ve given ourselves a lot of credit with that performance.’
Bayerns were left kicking themselves as they failed to take advantage of the Tranquilayers draw as they were held by old adversaries Athletico. Bayerns supporter: ‘If we fail to go at teams with real pace like Tranquilayers then we’ll give ourselves a chance.’
Sporting League: Game 31
Tranquilayers purred through the gears as they beat Yop Lane by two goals to nil.
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I think that the Yoppites tried to get a Tranquilayers far too quickly. Look, they’ve got to get some younger players in now. Forget about the race to finish in the top six. They looked shot after just twenty minutes. Someone once said that you can’t win anything with kids…well the same could be said for ageing players.’
Bayerns won by four goals to nil despite fielding a second string squad. Bayerns boss: ‘We needed people to step up to the plate I wasn’t let down thats for sure…’
Pointeso maintained their recent goal fest after putting four past Pacifica. Pointeso boss: ‘I believe that we’re gonna challenge for he title next season. I’m pleased to see that we’re also top of the recent form pile. If we can get past the eighty point mark at game thirty eight then I’ll agree that it’s been job done. OK, I accept that we’re by no means the finished article but lets judge after the last game.’
Sporting League: Game 30
Tranquilayers made a comeback against Delta – but only after the opposition had a player sent off controversially after twenty minutes.
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘That sending off changed the match. I think it was a good call from th ref, but I still believe that Tranquilayers got off lightly out there coz Delta were all over ’em prior to that dubious call. I was a bit disappointed with another section of the delta support throwing coins onto the pitch. It was raining coins at on stage. When they get the CCTV footage they need a few life bans and a couple of weeks in the slammer …out of order all day long.’
Bayerns maintained their fight with a two – nil win over a tricky Olby. Bayerns boss: ‘Yeah, it was a good win but we’ve lost a couple of players for the Lunderbach game. It’s going to be a pivotal match for us and I feel the officials didn’t do an effective job in the protection of our younger players. As usual, I can’t say too much because the Sporting top dogs will dish out the fines to nrecoup some of the cash they squandered in the recession.’
Pointeso held onto third place with a four goals to nil win over Drakens.
Sporting Radio Pundit X: ‘I really like the look of Pointeso now. If you have a look at the table you’ll see that they’re the top scorers with seventy one goals to the good. I think the ol’ pointers will be good value for a title next season. They’re a good 9-4 shot for season 2011-2012.’
Haaveno have officially confirmed that they’ll be moving to Sporting City zone L next season.
