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.

Wow, the general consensus earlier in the season was that this EBBL season was a pretty strong set of teams, but we've all been shown to be rubbish.

I just hope all of these beast D2 teams are too busy with the cup to make it into the EBBL next season...

My priority has been on staying in the EBBL and training my players. I only wish some more of the EBBL teams would have stayed in for longer and lost more of their league games!
However if you look, the teams have similar records so it will be a frantic end to the season...

i think both teams on the road have it very hard. i think the Colliders will make it through to the final. As for Durham/Risk and Reward i have no idea. If either crunches they will make the final but probably not then the cup
