Please find below the results of the 2nd Round of the Spike Bobberman Cup. The usual congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the losers in what were by-and-large very closely contested ties.
It was a very low-scoring round: only 2 players got full marks for a correct full-time score, namely Braminghamrover and Lizard, with Lutonloyal the only other predictor to get any full-time points at all. Overall, people fared slightly better at half-time, with 6 getting the full 2 points for a correct half-time score. And Harry Cornick provided the decisive winning point for quite a number: former cup winner Biscot Boy is one such, retaining his interest in the competition thanks to seeing off Flathatter by a single scorer point.
With so many low scores, Championship high-flyer Rutland was unlucky to get 3 points but still go out on penalties to Lutonloyal. The woes of Madhatter88888, who's having a tricky Premier League season, were no doubt compounded by defeat by Greenwoman, who is currently gracing the lower reaches of League One - possibly the most significant giant-killing of the round. The so-styled (by the participants ) tie of the round did not disappoint, Lizard shaking off his Southampton-esque league form to defeat Lake by an impressive 6 points to 2.
4 players failed to post a prediction; they have been awarded 0 points and either lose to scoring opponents or via the penalty shoot-out.
Please check your score and let me know by PM of any discrepancies or queries by next Friday 13th January.
The 3rd round is subject to FA Cup replays. If the Hatters get past Wigan it will be played on the FA Cup 4th Round on the weekend of 27th-30th January (Grimsby at home). Our scheduled league opponents that weekend are Cardiff who are also involved in a replay, so if they go through and the Hatters don’t, the Bobberman Cup will of necessity move to the following weekend. If that’s all as clear as mud, just watch out for my update in the week after next! Whenever and whoever it is, the draw and predictions thread will be posted a week beforehand.
EDITED FINAL PARAGRAPH: the 3rd round will be played on the Hatters' FA Cup 4th Round tie at home to Grimsby Town on (presumably) Saturday 28th January. The draw and predictions thread will be posted the weekend before.
