First Round gets underway this weekend!
Gorge 3A vs Penelakut 4A
Penelakut may have won Div 4, but I've seen them play and I really doubt they're up to the challenge of a top table Div 3 team. Gorge wins 3-0.
Lakehill 3A vs. Shadylane 4A
Tough draw for Shadylane, Lakehill's keeper isn't easy to beat. Lakehill take it 2-0.
Nanaimo 3B vs. Alberni 3A
Used to play Alberni a couple years ago and they seem to keep getting better, the defending champs make mince meat of a lackluster Nanaimo squad... 5-0 minimum.
Sagres 3A vs Bobcats 3B
The Bobcats use their size to make the Sagres lose their temper and the game 3-1 Bobcats.
Bays Utd Vs. Bye.
MATCH OF THE WEEK! The cellar dwellers of div 3B turn the tables on the favored Bye squat and come up big to make it to round 2 vs their division rival bandits next week. Congrats Bays!

Oh funnnnn, Cup predictions!!!!! Hey 3B and 4's!!!!
Allow myself to introduce... Myself... aliability... 3a and am an avid internet troll...
Gorge 3a V penelakut- having seen both teams there is little doubt gorge will take this one, I like Lukazi's bet.... 3-0 gorge
Lakehill 3a V. shady stain 4a- lakehill has some old talent.... But a little slow off the line, I would love to see shady take this one in an upset. 1-0 PK's for shady.
Alberni 3a V Nanaimo 3B- Alberni, our 2015 cup champs(that right, right?). Anyway, I give Nanaimo little chance in this one as Alberni is solid... 3-0 Alberni
Sagres V Bobcats- sagres aren't the team they used to be( most Portuguese guys left, and the ones that stayed aren't moth pieces like the others...) bob cats I would assume are still the same snivling babies they've always been. 1-0 Sagers! ** MATCH OF THE WEEK** imo.
Good luck everyone, and let the playoff beards begin!

Booya! Round two, so pumped to get into some cup play this weekend.
JDF 3B vs Gorge 3A.
I'd say match of the week. JDF is a decent 3B squad so it will be interesting to see how they fare vs a top 3A team. I think 1-1 and JDF takes it in Peno's.
VW 3B vs. Lakehill. Gonna be a battle!
SPL 4 vs Lakers 3A
I don't know why, as I've never played an SPL team that is anygood. But I call cup magic and SPL takes it 1-0.
Gorge 3B vs. Braves 3A...
Another good match, Us-guys take it 3-1.
Fernwood 3B vs Bobcats 3B
Fernwood has been the better team this year, but the Bobcats have tenacity and I think they can pull of an upset. 2-2 then Bobcats take it in Peno's as well.
Dodge vs. Hellas This should probably be the match of the week.... I hope Hellas take it just cause I like the Hellas spirit. 2-1 Hellas.
Bandits vs. Bays..
If Bays can have 11 men show up they might be able to make a game of it. 2-1 Banditos.
Alberni 3A vs. Fernwood 4b
Alberni gets a cakewalk through to round 3. 4-0 Alberni.

Gorge 3A Vs. JDF 3B Haven't had the pleasure of seeing JDF play, gorge is a solid team though, i'll take a homer pick and say gorge 2-1 in Extra time.
SPL 4 Vs. Lakers 3A Going to have to take the Div 3 team here, battle tested.
Gorge 3B Vs. Braves 3A going to be a good game I think. Extra time with gorge winning it 3-2
Fernwood 3B Vs. Bobcats 3B Fernwood beat them 3-0 earlier in the year. I'll take Fernwood again same score
Dodge 3A Vs. Hellas 3A Dodge hasn't given me a reason to doubt they won't continue winning, 3-1 Dodge
Bandits 3B Vs. Bays 3B Going to have to say bandits just by looking at the standings, lets say 2-0
Alberni 3A Vs. Fernwood 4B Alberni is beatable, but they should breaze through this round, 5-0
VW 3B Vs. Lakehill 3A I think this will be the match of the day. VW looks untouchable allowing only 5 goals on the season. I'll say it goes into Peno's- Coin flip you call it

Gorge[3A] 3-0 JDF[3B]: Gorge are a very beatable team, but they always seem to get the job done and this isn't the team to stop them.
SPL[4A] 1-4 Lakers[3A]: Lakers aren't very good, but they'll destroy SPL 4's. Not a fair fight.
Gorge[3B] 2-1 Braves[3A]: I've not seen Gorge play this year, but the roster looks like a good blend of experienced and younger guys, so I'll predict they'll have enough to beat Braves 2-1, though this will be a pretty even battle and could go either way.
Fernwood[3B] 2-0 Bobcats[3B]: Two good teams. I think Bobcats will put up a fight early on, but those legs will get heavy in the second half and Fernwood will pop two in the final 30 minutes to put the cats down.
Dodge[3A] 1-1 AET (4:3) Hellas[3A]: As much as I'd love to see Slytherin lose in the cup to the team they force-forfeited over player cards, I think they'll take this in penos. The decider on this, sadly, could be the ref. Hellas have some good players with some... let's call it "theatrical talent"... and could win themselves an advantage if they draw the right guy in the middle. As much as I hate that normally, I'd love the irony of that working here, so GO HELLAS! My match of the week.
Bandits[3B] 6-0 Bays[3B]: Sounds like Bays suck. No interest in this game. 6-0 cakewalk.
Alberni[3A] 5-0 Fernwood[4B]: Cakewalk again. 5-0 Alberni.
VW[3B] 1-1 AET (4:5) Lakehill[3A]: Top of 3B vs a mid-table 3A team, but Lakehill have pulled off some pretty good upsets this season and when the team shows up to play, they usually get the result. If I could choose a second match of the week, this would be it. Could go either way, but I don't expect a high scoring game whatever the end result may be.

Cup games!!!!!
Gorge 3a V JDF 3b- Gorge had a solid year and have pro pen themselves a tough fixture. 2-0 gorge.
Spl. V. Lakers-. Spl is only in our cup as a result of not declaring div 4 cup I'm assuming... First blowout win if the year for the lakers. 3-0.
Gorge 3b V. Braves- I've said all year I like the Braves heart, and grit. I'm gonna give them this one in 2-1. Maybe some ET?!
Fernwood V Bobcats- have to assume Fernwood is the team to beat here, but the Bobcats own the biggest and best bus in the visl. 1-0 in a defensive affair. Fernwood plays another day
Slytherin V Hellas- match of the week... The Greeks have been moaning about the injustices of the league by-laws all season... let's hope their "theatrical talent"(very well said cuppat) doesn't decide this game for everyone... ive been betting against Slytherin all year , but this should be the first time it pays off. 2-0 Hellas. Hellas cripple themselves with red cards in the process.
Bandits V bays.- ha bays still sucks. 4-0 bandits.
Alberni V Fernwood 4's- seriously? Another gimme? Some years are easier than others. 100-0 Alberni
VW 3b v lakehill 3a - haven't heard any excuses from copas yet, so I would assume their expecting a good turn out! But I think it's a stretch to assume the 5th place team can beat the 1st place team from the other side, but I suspect s good game either way! 2-1in pk's for lakehill!!
Cheers gents, see you on the pitch,
aliability

Lol, just following your lead on the whole excuses thing aliability. Gorge 3a V JDF 3b- The JDF team we played last year had some firepower and a couple guys who can score from nothing but their D cheaply conceded at times ...Gorge have been consistent all year, but, don't impress me in one given area. Should be a close one. I say JDF score a late screamer to push it to AET, but, the youth of Gorge pull through in extra time. 2-1 AET. Spl. V. Lakers- Lakers are a pretty good team and are a good group. SPL seem to be in for a rough go here....keep your heads up, battle hard and enjoy the beers afterwards. 4-1 PL. Gorge 3b V. Braves- Braves have not had the year that they wanted im sure and from what I can tell, Gorge have been playing better in the second half of the season. Braves don't give up and will battle hard to the end, only to fall short. 3-2 Gorge. Fernwood V Bobcats- Bobcats are a savvy group of veterans who can get results using their physical strength and threat off of set pieces. This one goes to AET for me. Fernwood have youth on their side and confidence against the Bobcats. 3-1 AET Fernwood. Dodge V Hellas- match of the week... I'd love to see Hellas get it done and get the revenge on Dodge for the cards stunt they pulled. If Dodge can mind their own business and not let the Hellas take them off their game with all their whining and complaining then Dodge take it no problem, however, I do feel karma could play a nice role in this one and i see Hellas edging it 2-1 just before the end of 90. 3 red cards at least. 3 bottles of ouzo at least. Bandits V bays.- Yawn. 3-1 Banidts. Alberni V Fernwood 4's- Yawn. 6-0 PA. VW 3b v lakehill 3a - I believe we played the Casuals a few years back in the cup and won 3-0. However, this seems to be a completely upgraded squad....5 goals against and only being scored against in 3 games total is very impressive. A lot of guys very familiar with each other in this battle and will be a fun one to play in for sure. Really looking forward to the test and happy to be going in as the underdog. 2-1 Lakehill.

2-0 Dodge over Hellas. More lively game than the season ender last week. The Greeks always look good on the ball and move it well but dodge keeps their 6th clean sheet in a row.

JDF over George 3-2 in a classic cup battle. To bad someone had to lose. Great saves huge tackles. Man in the middle let the teams decide the match. Only fitting Gordo closes the deal. The oldest player in history of the visl.

Alberni 10 men travelled 4-0 good group of players played in good spirits except their number 16 never have we heard someone chirp so much (and in an angry way at all the team) then complain so much aboutt ... Well everything! Best thing the manager did was take him off before his reckless angry play either got him injured or someone else. Like I said great group of players and a decent game shame one player spoils it for the rest of you!
