The draw for the first cup competition of the season in CSMCL is complete. The Dairylea Triangular Tournament will conclude just before Christmas with a final on the same weekend that Arsenal play Chelsea and Liverpool play Manchester United.
We have split the nine teams in the CSMCL in to three groups of three (hence, triangular) and each team plays each other in their group twice over the next few weeks.
The idea of a head-to-head game is that the team with the most points that week between you and your opponent wins the game and earns three points in the league table. A draw (i.e. equal points for a game week) earns you one point each. I'll keep you posted on fixtures, results and league tables, but basically you have to try and do as well as you can each week in the Premiership and hope to outscore your opponents.
So, without further ado... here are the groupings.
Group A - The Who (Anthony Trice), Hoad Harriers (Paul Hoad), AFC Richmond's Rovers (Pete Turner)
A grudge match between father and son-in-law for The Who and the Harriers, and Pete Turner professed himself to be quietly confident about this group - we'll see.
Group B - Dinorben Tigers (David Trice), Farcelona (Gavin Short), Prancing Show Ponies (Ben Renshaw)
Initially dubbed "The Group of Death" this could be an interesting group with Farcelona's undoubted power in attack pitted against the Tigers' defence. The Show Ponies will do far more than make up the numbers and have every chance for success.
Group C - Rennet Rovers (Andy Jewitt), Cabernet United (Shiraz Cassim), Oi Oi Saveloy (Andy Holmes)
As the final name was being drawn out of the hat, the Saveloys could have ended up with the Tigers and Farcelona. However Cabernet United will be formidable once their players are fit and Rennet Rovers have had a good start to the season so this may truly be the Group of Death with three very good teams battling each other.
The winner of each group will progress to a further three team "Semi Final" grouping, with the top two from that group meeting in the Final.
Matches start in the week 18th-24th September with the following fixtures.
A - The Who vs Hoad Harriers
B - Dinorben Tigers vs Farcelona
C - Rennet Rovers vs Cabernet United
I'll publish a full schedule in due course.
