Gameweek 13 Review
Premier
Cookie’s Monsters stay top and all but end Eddy Hitler XI hopes of a shield place. Arsene’s Boys & Park Bench Exports remain hot on his tail with wins over bottom place THE MUTTS NUTS & Bocadillo Allstars. Making up the final shield place is Reubens Rioters, while Where’s The Dosh? are 5th after beating Kop Warriors and it looks like a fight for the 4 places will come from these 5 teams. A key fixture could well be when Rioters play the Dosh in GW16. A few teams will feel they still have a chance as there are 12 points still to be played for, one of them being Gasco’s athletic who sit 6th and are one of only two teams in the Banterbury leagues this GW to be centurions, they are 4pts off that last sought after shield spot. In mid-table, Horse fc moved to 8th after beating I LOVES THE CAKE who drop to 11th, while Rising Phoenix are up to 10th after their win over Kojak’s Fireball. Meanwhile at the bottom Killer Instincts’ fine form continues with a 3rd straight win after a dreadful start to season and this win was more important as it was against one of his fellow struggles TheKopKnightRISES. There was also a big win for UD Stoke moving them up a place to 16th
Championship
Again we have a change of leaders as elleffcee, who were top, drop to 4th after a hammering from bottom club Pathético Morbid 86-35. Gallowgators hit top spot for the first time this season, while ever-present in the top 6 WhoIsRonaldo & James 101 move 2nd & 3rd. Making a late push for a shield place is Son of a Pitch who have won their last 6 games and are only a point from that magic qualification spot. Still in with a shout are Real Morbid, One Under Parr, Shylass @ the finish & FC Tom Tomsk, but all will need a win in GW16. The bottom 3 remain the same despite only Red Magic losing to Mito’s Mercenaries who move up two place to 15th and a draw for The Gallant Pioneers keep them 19th. Pathético Morbid stay bottom but are now just 2 points from safety.
League 1
So the Powerful Potty Fc unbeaten run comes to an end, surprisingly to the bottom club The SpecialOne but stay a massive 7 points clear at the top as 2nd place we love manchester also slip to defeat to Nosgoth (raz) and drop a place in the table. Monty (Caz Daz) take advantage moving up to 2nd after beating Bodene’s Army comfortably leaving bodene’s side now 5 points off a shield place with just 4 game-weeks left in which to qualify. CFC(Awesome) beat 3rd from bottom IFM PaLmeRo to stay 4th, DavesRedDevils (deano) move up to 5th and must be thinking of sneaking a top 4 place. Fergie’s Henchmen have hit a bit of form & have won their last 4. Elsewhere, wins for BRYAN MUNICH FC, Sporting Abeergut, FC Eire Lilium & Schnitzel palace see them all move up in the league. But, at the Bottom Nifty’s Hotshots now own an unwanted Banterbury record and have lost 10 in row.
League 2
Top 4 remain the same in this very tight league, Norfulk-in-chance stay top despite his 2nd defeat in 3 games, Wavey Squad stay 2nd, E For Idiot beat CR, meaning the top 3 all have 27pts from their 13 matches. CR really needs to start looking over his shoulder as 3 points separate them in 4th from ChelseaFTW in 10th. Destined Champions move to 5th & demise Bring on ze Trumpets climb to 6th, ALSED FC win a tight game 60-56 against White Boys Day. At the bottom, there were wins for Arsene’s Profit, Owls Rule and Wanderers1869 who amassed a score of 104. Finally a well done to Prata who moved out of the drop zone.

Premier
Cookie’s Monsters train keeps rolling on and remains top after beating Gasco’s athletic 103-54. 2nd placed Arsene’s Boys lost to the inform team in the league Killer Instincts, who have now won their last 4 including 2 wins against teams in the top 4, this win also moves them out of the drop zone for the first time this season, the defeat for Arsene’s Boys sees them drop to 4th. Last season’s champions Park Bench Exports also won and go 2nd level on points with Cookie, he really has had the rub of the green this year as his overall score is nearly 100 points lower than the Cookie’s Monsters and only the 9th best overall. As they say though, you need a bit of luck to win any championship, could he win back to back titles? Moving into 3rd are Where’s The Dosh? who beat Horse FC 105-82 and are just 3 points behind the top two. 5th place Reubens Rioters lost to Rising Phoenix 92-79, their 2nd defeat on the bounce and this could be vital with qualification for the shield ending soon. 6th place Bocadillo Allstars won 83-51 against Prutsers; allemaal after suffering two big defeat against their shield rivals in last two game-weeks. Eddy Hitler XI also won, beating I LOVES THE CAKE 96-75 and in doing so have moved up to 7th and keep alive their very slight chance of making the shield. At the bottom poor THE MUTTS NUTS lose again and are 7 points adrift at the foot of the table and have lost their last 9 games, time to sell RvP Mutts? UD Stoke beat fellow strugglers TheKopKnightRISES 111-100 moving them to 13th and TheKopKnightRISES second defeat in two game weeks against teams in & around the bottom. Great news for Kop Warriors who beat Buzz’s Bomb Squad 95-84 and he must now be eyeing safety, big game up next though as Cookie (Man Utd) of the league play Kop the (Liverpool) of the league.

Championship
The top 8 remain the same in this league & the top 6 all won, Gallowgators beat his sons side Buzzilona to stay top. 2nd place WhoIsRonaldo beat bottom of the league Pathético Morbid, James 101 & elleffcee also won and make up the top 4. Son of a Pitch who are 5th won again and still have dreams of being in the top 4 come Christmas, also still hoping to qualify are Real Morbid in 6th but they have a really tough run of fixtures coming up, James 101 GW15, elleffcee GW16 & Gallowgators GW17. Staying 7th & 8th are One Under Parr & Shylass @ the finish though both lost, while moving to 9th are Borussia Teeth. In the bottom half Mito’s Mercenaries won his second game in a row after flirting with the drop-zone and moves up to 13th and 5 points away from the relegation zone. Pathético Morbid lose again and stay bottom, while The Gallant Pioneers also lost to Red Magic 110-84 meaning they stay 2nd bottom. A win for Red Magic sees them move out of the relegation zone and they are replaced by Balotellibubbies.

League 1
Well the legend that is Powerful Potty Fc has decided to give everyone in this league a chance, and has lost his last 2 matches, his latest defeat coming against one of his title rivals, 3rd place CFC(Awesome) and his lead has been cut to just 4 points as second place Monty (Caz Daz) beat Nosgoth (raz) 108-85. Currently in the final shield place are we love manchester though his form must be a worry to him after losing his last two, this time to Slumdog Mignolet. Fergie’s Henchmen are the real form team in this league and are climbing at a rate of knots, after beating inittowinit*** who drop to 13th, they move in to 5th just 3 points behind we love Manchester. In 6th is DavesRedDevils who were beaten by BRYAN MUNICH FC 99-54. Meanwhile at the bottom, on the back of beating Potty last week The SpecialOne won again and move off the bottom, replacing them are poor Nifty’s Hotshots who has had a massive fall from grace, top of the table after GW3 with 3 wins from 3, to bottom with 11 straight defeats. IFM PaLmeRo won to move out of the bottom 3, meaning that The Flying Indian slips to 3rd from bottom.

Banterbury Cup
Well the Banterbury Cup rolls into town in GW15 for Round 3 (last 32).
Here are my pick of the ties. Firstly, we have top of the Premier Cookie’s Monsters up against GPrileys league 1 hotshots, we love manchester. My second pick is Reubens Rioters (4th in the Premier) Vs WhoIsRonaldo who are 2nd in the Championship and if you’re looking for an upset, maybe keep an eye on Owls Rule (NZ Alex) who are 14th in League 2 Vs elleffcee, who sit 4th in the championship. You can view the full draw for round 3 in the competitions tab, under Banterbury Cup
