Cup quarter finals decided

A few more Serie A sides took a tumble in the Grappa Cup last 16. Most notably, the high-flying G31 Galacticos who were narrowly defeated by Titus Bramble in a thriller at the Galactico Dome.

The full results

G31 Galacticos 2 Titus Bramble 3 (after extra time)
Beat Scotty 3 FC Copenhacking 1
Oisin's Eleven 0 Cant Get Right 1
Fitz_Hattrick 0 Bairnfica 1
Willie's Warriors 1 Lockerbie Legends 2
Gianfranco Gorgonzola 2 We Ate All The Pies 0
Sicilia 2 The Bootiful Game 1
Wynn Some Lose Some 1 Doonhamers 2

The draw for the quarter finals, to be played this week, is as follows

Beat Scotty v Doonhamers
Cant Get Right v Bairnfica
Titus Bramble v Sicilia
Gianfranco Gorgonzola v Lockerbie Legends

In the leagues, Steve Fitzpatrick has seen his Serie B advantage sliced as Kieran Westbrook and the inimitable Dr Khrem make a surge up the table. It now looks like a real three-way fight at the top. Graeme Nicol will hope to hang on to that last promotion slot.

A word of praise, briefly, for Aidan Bain. He gave everyone two weeks' start and now sits in an impressive 9th place and is hot on the heels of Stef Todd.

The top division also remains a close fight. The G31 Galacticos have a narrow advantage but Team Ramrod remain serious contenders along with the Doonhamers, Galliano Hotshots and Cape Crusaders.

With the Lockerbie Legends on a surge and The Bootiful Game and Willie's Warriors also in top form, only a fool could rule them out of a title bid too.

In the relegation zone, the plight of Villaunreal FC gets worse and worse. A team run by, I believe, the only Scotland-capped manager in the league now sits in second bottom with only the lowly Biancoverdi behind them. Salvation sits five points away with the last four in the league facing the prospect of life in Serie B.
