The Meisterschaft League : The Draw
With the individual league cups about to reach their conclusion, it is time to announce the Meisterschaft League competition, an inter-league contest between all 25 teams in 3 leagues.
The first stage of this competition will be a group contest with 5 sections of 5 teams competing over 5 weeks in January, February and March.
The top three from each group will qualify for the second stage, a knock-out contest culminating in the Meisterschaft League Final on the very last weekend of the season in May.
The highest-scoring group winner will seal a bye through the first knockout stage, with the remaining group winners and highest-scoring runner-up seeded to be drawn against one of the third-placed teams in the knockout round.
No seeding was applied in the draw, so you may well have been drawn with four great teams or four poor teams - that's just the way it goes. The only seeding I've applied is to ensure that I don't draw two of my teams together, otherwise I could be accused of fixing the result between two of them. I also ensured that each group had one team from each league in it.
The draw was made from the CSMCL Champions Cup and here are the results.
The first games will be played on the week of 15th-21st January, so why not check out your opponents and look out for news about the fixtures in the next couple of days.

Meisterschaft : Team of Week 17
I don't want to brag about it, but 1st, 6th and 10th in the same week is pretty pleasing. But lets give Jon Small of the Basingstoke Beavers his due - he benefitted from a good all round team performance and no individual points haul to add almost a third as many points in one week as they have scored all season. Nice one Jon.
- AC Tricey (VBCL, David Trice) 22 pts
- Scott Arnold (VBCL, Scott Arnold) 21 pts
- Basingstoke Beavers (VBCL, Jon Small) 20 pts
- Snaiks 11 (MMML, Shalin Naik) 20 pts
- Prancing Show Ponies (CSMCL, Ben Renshaw) 19 pts
- It's Only Ray Parlour (MMML, David Trice) 19 pts
VBCL : Manager of the Month - November
Despite allowing 21 and 26 goals each the Eagles and AFC Cornwall sit atop the league for November. Each of the top three scored 8 goals or more.
Spare a thought for the tribute to the Lillywhites at the bottom of the table. "We were Leeds" is not just a tribute to the echo of a former proud chant but also a poignant reminder of the talent that LUFC has let slip in to the hands of other clubs now in the Premiership. Suresh's team is stocked with former United players, and as luck would have it they all seem to be struck by the Ridsdale Curse. A team consisting of Robinson, Baines, Harte, Ferdinand, Woodgate, Kewell, Milner, Speed, Viduka and Healy would surely have done pretty well in the Premiership (when fit) a few seasons ago. I wonder if this a damning indictment of the way that George Graham and David O'Leary over-played these young players, with their injury breakdowns (Kewell and Woodgate particularly) and the Chairman's financial promiscuity now better remembered than the period in which this club reached two European semi-finals.

- You Gotta Have A System (Jon Ryder-Oliver) 51 pts
VBCL : Stilton Trophy Semi Finals First Leg
STILTON TROPHY : Full details at http://meisterschaft.blogspot.com/
Semi-Finals Second Leg (December 4th - December 10th)AFC Cornwall (7) vs AC Tricey (22)
Golden Eagles (15) vs Scott Arnold (21)
AFC Cornwall have been in an impressive lead for a few weeks, but a bad week 17 has left them with a narrow two point lead at the top of the table and a 15 point deficit after the semi-final first leg to the same team, AC Tricey. AFC Cornwall are missing the presence of playmaker Cesc Fabregas.
Scott Arnold's recent resurgence lead to a 21 point haul and although the Golden Eagles can be pleased with a 15 point score they still trail in the other semi-final.
MMML : Manager of the Month - November
The prolific goal-scoring of the Tractor Boys (9 goals) saw them to the top of the table and through the Maestros Cup group stages. Finntastic FC dropped from first place after a miserable month of 28pts. There are only 23 pts between 1st and 7th in the month, though, meaning that it is a tight contest with many twists and turns still to come.
- Forthy's Tractor Boys (Peter Forth) 58 pts
- The Piemen (Chris Lamy) 56 pts
- Snaiks 11 (Shalin Naik) 47 pts
MMML : Maestros Cup Semi-Final First Leg
MAESTROS CUP : Full details at http://meisterschaft.blogspot.com/
Semi-Finals Second Leg (December 4th - December 10th)
Finntastic FC (13) vs The Piemen (15)
Forthy's Tractor Boys (12) vs Snaiks 11 (20)
Snaiks 11 (Shalin) take an early lead against Forthy's Tractor Boys (Peter) in the first leg completing a bad week for the Tractor Boys who fell to third in the table.
CSMCL : Manager of the Month - November
Ben Renshaw's Prancing Ponies kept their heads high, their toes on point and their tack pristine throughout November, taking the league lead and almost setting a new league high with 62 points for the month. They achieved a 14 point swing over the Dinorben Tigers to claim top spot, and beat their nearest rival in the month by 12 points.
But how about that rival, though - Farcelona (Gavin), the team on auto-pilot, grabbed second spot in the month thanks in large part to 10 clean sheets.
Cabernet United (Shiraz) rose up the table with 48 points, equalling the Tigers, and The Who (Anthony Trice) also returned a tidy 47 points for the month to move back in to contention. AFC Richmond's Rovers (Pete) would rather forget the month - allowing 16 goals and scoring just 4 they've slipped down the table.
A miserable month though for Hoad Harriers who scored just 6 points and must surely be questioning their continued faith in Reading defenders!
