Congratulations to Joby Hodgson and John Lewis. The final will be played over the final week of the season.

Never Knowingly Undersold v The Partridge Family
Moody Blues v The Undef*ckables
Fortuna Huggies v Warmley Wombles
Skonto Reefa v Ornamental Brown Star
Smug XI v Emmas Orbs

Some interesting ties in this one – Steve Ferguson takes on the role of underdog against Mr Thornton, whilst newcomers Bobo United meet fellow novices, Fugly XI. However, the stand-out tie has to be Jon Ward’s Skonto Reefa pitted against Paul Harding’s Ornamental Brown Star: the grudge match of the season if ever there was one. As the fireman said as he hurled the moggie out of the tree, fur will fly...

There are some juicy ties here, but the pick of the round has to be Argyle Sweater FC meeting up with newcomers and bedfellows Fugly XI in a titanic Mr & Mrs struggle that can only reduce Strathmore Road to rubble. If only Alan Taylor had lived to see that one...

Chalice First Round Draw
