SFA UFFA Cup update

So I bet like me you were wondering how our teams did in the UFFA comps the best of the best, well wonder no further as I take you through a quick update on each of the teams so far this season.

Gold Cup

Panathinaikos RedieN were probably our best hope for success here as the reigning SFA champions and George did not let the SFA down in the initial leagues. Despite drawing the world No.3 team Cardiff Capitals in their group they still managed to qualify from the group in 2nd place with 13 pts. In their first knockout match they managed to defeat their opponents 1-0 in the away leg and are looking good to go through to the next round. Unfortunately it was not to be for Real Beziers and Atletico Sheppey as they were both unlucky not to qualify from the group stages, Michel only missed out by 1 pt, better luck next year guys!

Silver Cup

Jakswans and Macduff were both drawn in the same group as each other and in the head to head it was Macduff who came out on top with a win and a draw. Despite this setback Jak still managed to win their league with John only 2 points behind in third this was still good enough to see John progress with Jak to the knockout stages. Jakswans were given the easier draw against Silkes Boys while Macduff were drawn against the more formidable Montyschofield Utd, we await the results with interest. Unathletic Madrid had a good old battle in their league finally coming out on top on goal difference. The next round saw them drawn against Lucholandia FC who are a very strong team. The first match was a very close afair with Stewart winning 2-1 but could the away goal be the killer. The return leg saw a much weakened Unathletic Madrid side (no wanderley) and they could do nothing to stop Lucholandia winning comfortably 2-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregrate. Our final team Manchester XTC were unfortunately not able to qualify from their group.

A final update will appear here at the end of the season.
