VBCL : Stilton Trophy Rounds 2 & 3


Stilton Trophy Round 2 - October 16th - 22nd

AC Tricey 11-3 Gusset Rovers
You Gotta Have A System 7 - (-1) Golden Eagles

We Were Leeds 3-13 AFC Cornwall
Scott Arnold 10-14 Basingstoke Beavers

Stilton Trophy Round 3 - October 23rd - 29th

You Gotta Have A System 12-21 AC Tricey
Gusset Rovers 6-9 Golden Eagles

Scott Arnold 19 - (-1) We Were Leeds
AFC Cornwall 21-1 Basingstoke Beavers


I've got some sympathy for Suresh's "We Were Leeds" in Group B. Scoring 9 points in 3 weeks isn't the stuff of cup triumph, true, but when the team at the top of the table concede just 8 they've got to be a little disappointed that they didn't catch one of their opponents on a bad week. No doubt, though, AFC Cornwall lead the way in this group and deservedly so with 52 points over the three weeks. The game in Round 6 between the Beavers and Scott Arnold already looks like the decider for second place.

In Group A after a great start the Golden Eagles crashed to -1 points. With a narrow win over Gusset Rovers they moved in to a tie for 1st place, spiit on points difference. Rovers' are now on the brink of elimination - they must win this week against the Eagles to advance. Top of the table YGHAS play AC Tricey (3rd) in an effort to avenge their first defeat last week.
