Thanks Morwood. I felt I had a chance if I CT'd and things went my way. Ashington rested most of their starters, I was able to play mine, and that's it really. Big win on the road. Really happy right now I must admit.

Will regret the CT in the coming weeks no doubt but it feels worth it tonight.

Nice one!


Just saw your star player tonight was Lescarret, he's got some cup pedigree having won it 2 seasons ago with me. Small BB world.

Thanks Park.

Lescarret has been a pretty decent buy for me. Managed to get him for about half what you sold him for. I just couldn't resist him at that price despite the salary stretching me a bit. His cup pedigree now features that win for you, last year's semi with me and now last night's win. A pretty decent run.

Congrats on the win. You've certainly shown yourself to be a formidable cup team over the last couple of seasons and no excuses from me, the better team just won on the night.

If I had managed to squeeze through this round I would have began to really concentrate on the cup, but I guess it wasn't to be, so I wish the best of luck to everyone left in it.

Thanks for that man, very classy of you. It is often easier in the Cup for those teams that aren't really pushing hard in the league. I was also fortunate enough to have an easy league game this week which I could win with backups.

Definitely a big night for D2. I wonder if there's ever been an all D2 lineup in the semis in any country, let alone just England.

Three of the teams are fighting for promotion so they may not be D2 teams for long but its still an amazing achievement that does reflect the strength of D2.

Mine was a tight game. Up against an obviously weakened Tigers squad we just about managed to stay in touch in the first half. Started the third quarter well and with four minutes of the end of the quarter managed our first lead. Held that into the fourth when, almost inevitably, the Tigers fought hard. The lead seemed to change hands with every possession and the game was still tight with a minute to go. Just when I thought my shredded nerves couldn't take any more, with 23 seconds left, Lucio Villagra hit a three for a five point lead which all but sealed the win.

I'm still finding it hard to believe, especially following Ashington last thursday. I almost have as many wins against the EBBL as I do against D2 teams this season.
