YOU HEARD ME.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Haha, I was so drunk.

Will send a sheet within the hour.

 

[Goughy]

Sheets received from Fury, Swell and United.

I want to sim the games tomorrow but I dont want to do it without a teamsheet from Tharmi.

 

[chaminda_00]

Still haven't figured out who to play where and who to play in general. We got that many players out. I'll try and decided by the end of day. Was about to send one last night but still two positions I haven't decided.

The frontpage of the Nixontown Sunday Express had a huge photo of Tharmi Loganathan and Hakon Mork shaking hands in front of the CW Premiership trophy.

Both we relaxed and fine fine form, but there was a certain underlying tension as the captains of Power and Swell met the press.

After a full season, the CW Premiership Champion will be decided by the last game when Island Swell visit Northside Power. Power had been in control of the league for most of the season. However, a freak loss to Nixontown Nomads saw the team hit a speed bump. Loganathan assured all reporters that the drama was now over and that the team would return to their early season form. As the Power faltered, the Swell smelled blood and capialised. From looking out of the title race at one stage they now find themselves heading the table going into Round 20.

In the other games, United look to finish strong and with Dan Smith as the leading scorer in the league, Fury look to avoid the embarassment of finishing bottom and Nomads and Dynamo continue to fight for pride.

Power Swell game will also be included here. 1st half is below.

Thamba what a glory hog (Y)

More tomorrow after some sleep....

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Hm. Too defensive and it costs us. I take full responsibility.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

There's only one Thamba Mamesh...

Heath wasn't even required! Go the Power!

 

[Travis_Teh]

Unlucky Swell. Top season that!

Mighty Power bringing home the goods, ohhhh yeah.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Easy win and I'm gun.

 

[alternative]

Stoked with that win, great effort from the team.

 

[pinchy81]

Not the best start to my captaincy career but not the worst either hopefully we can do better next season

 

[cometer]

The tactical switch to A when Swell went to D, only meant we'd be able to generate the shots and they'd get hardly any. I'm so sick of hitting the post and crossbar though.

We left it tight but we were able to come back and win it at the end with a bit of individual brilliance at the end .

 

[chaminda_00]

First of all well done to Swell for great season, really kept us on our toes for the whole season and pushed us all the way. Awsome way to finish the season, with a decider between the top two sides.

Thanks to Goughy for simming all the matches and keeping everything update to date for most of season. Fell away a bit at the end of season, but I guess a lot had to circumstances and the lack of activity times of us captain in getting teamsheets in. I know I was quite lazy for most of the season, leaving it all to the last minute. But there was a reason for that, as last season I over anaylsed every teamsheet. Also I hate waiting for results, so the later you send in a teamsheet the less you waited. Worked out in the end.

Lastly great season, by the Power boys. A real team effort with everyone in the side stepping at a certain time in the season. Not sure if we are going to keep going with this. So I'm going to post the team awards tonight, before all the activity goes.

 

[Goughy]

Congratulations to Northside Power, the new Champions of CW Premiership

I think the season was far more balanced and realistic in terms of scorelines and players and teams dominating.

It was unfortunate that things slowed down as I went in and out of the country and started working fulltime and had less access to the files.

However, Im happy with it overall.

The CWFA Awards will be announced in the next day or 2.

Leading scorer-
CWFA Player of the Year-
CWFA Young Player of the Year-

 

[pinchy81]

Will get the unoffical Player choices award voting system up tomorrow i reckon
