At a glance:
Group A:
The first Group has been wrapped up pretty quickly. SkyPlayerInFPL and De Bruyne Trousers will be moving forward to the next stage, Goleta Hotspur will meet GoFys FC in the IML QFs and Vanishing Spray will be dusting themselves off and re-focusing on the League.
The only thing left to be decided here is who will go through as group winners and avoid Group B giants Smash & Grab? There will be a head-to-head to decide it!
Group B:
Smash & Grab had already booked their place before this week, but now they know that they will be topping the Group and with get a two-legger (a “both-footer“?) against Group A’s runners-up.
Whiskey De Bruyne hold the second qualifying place at arms length while Bigger than Brolin come out swinging. BtB won’t have an easy game against Uncle Monty because the back-to-back league champions know that they can qualify for the Intramural League with a win next weekend.
Group C:
Unfortunately, The Phenoms are now out of both competitions, but it does leave a tasy three-way fight for two QF places. Alleviate the Tedium are a neck ahead of the other two, meaning that a win or a draw would be enough; even a loss would be okay if R57 lose to The Phenoms (although they won 57-28 last time).
Group D:
The 2023 runners-up Gloopy Yarbles are the first team through from Group D, but the holders are on the verge of joining them, so a repeat Final is still on the cards. However, qualification for the champions is not certain yet. Their fate is in their hands. Their final game is against HLAB, who are three wins behind and holding a better matchpoints total, therefore, if Sporting Wicker Park lose then they’re out. Draw or win and they’re through.
In the bottom half of this four-team group, StilluvQPR look like they will almost certainly finish fourth, save for a huge score and win next week. So all eyes on HLAB in GW9 – Win: CL QF, Lose: IML QF.
