Had a few scary moments tonight. (ask Vecx). 9pts down when I finally managed to see a score, midway through the first quarter. A strong second quarter left me feeling more relaxed. Trust Empire kept the game close all the way into the 4th before the Wasps finally pulled away late. Took a big risk TIEing, and also considered swapping defenders around to counter the Chairman's shooting (he scored 35 pts) but decided to trust everyone to defend well enough.

I'm very pleased to be in the Quarter Finals for the first time ever (only time?) and don't really care about the draw.

Obviously one of the DI teams will win it. Particular congratulations to the other DII teams left in.

I mentioned Tatatallfella last week, and don't see any reason not again this week. I think them and Spaz Hands are the two favourites.

I'll just sit by my radio and wait for the draw now.

You're right, wishful thinking on my part.

I think I'll be in a spot of bother against AA without home court advantage. Looks like they're on full enthusiasm.

Ah well. I gave it my best shot but I inevitably fell just short.

Congrats to the final four and may the best man win.

seriously, what went wrong tonight? i fielded a weaker team and expected to loose tonight so that I could concentrate on surviving in the cup, guess that my many years training out off sync players and luck in the tournament so far this season when it comes to the draw, did help me tonight...

guess i need to try and juggle minutes next week and not care about training my players :)

good luck to everyone that is still in the cup, even though when I think only the fellas can win it...

I can't quite believe that's my little team in the Semis. I know its not uncommon for a DII team to make the Semis but its usually more of a powerhouse. Obviously had some luck in the draw, avoiding DI teams till now.

Got a really pleasing all round performance tonight against a good DII team. Controlled the game from very early on and managed to rest my starters in the 4th.

Still difficult to see past Tatatallfella, but Gibraltar stand a chance, having the easier draw.

Lost to a worthy team today in Angels, not too many excuses.

I hope they've got something left in the tank for next week or Tata wil get his mits on the cup again I fear.
