The CW Cup: battle of the association football teams

Cheltenham fail to mount a comeback, so Sydney make it two A-League teams in the third round.

Next up:

23. FC Barcelona v 24. Aberdeen

The sort of tie that in the mid-80s Aberdeen might've started as favourites for. It's a funny old game, as Jimmy Greaves would have it.

Mixed fortunes for Scotland, Celtic advance at the expense of the plucky Norwayanese challengers by 10-6, but The Dons go down to Barcelona by 9-6. Would've voted for both losers on "clear underdogs" grounds.

Next up:

25. Sporting Lisbon v 26. Harland & Wolff Welders

27. Hannover 96 v 28. Coventry City


Portuguese giants face Northern Irish minnows and Cov are drawn against the Mitchell-endorsed Germans.
