The Middle Years

Contuing commentary on the SFA....



After Georges departure from the scene a new force was emerging but it was immediate as Aidan's Balloon took the title in Season 7.

Although Aidan's only major title he was one of the rocks of Shearer.

Nick Hopkinsons's Amogen glory years started in Season 6 as they finished to runner's up to Balloon. Prior to this Amogen had not really made headway but the fairytale rags to riches story was completed in Season 7 as they took the title for the first time .

Amogen went on to be serious contenders at the top level but the glory years came to abrupt end in 9, the last time they lifted a major trophy.

This story is almost mirrored by the Mighty Boosh. After starting late in the GW and powered by an amazing MC in Tarrallo (who I tired to sign a lot) they were rampant at youth level for a number of seasons. Sadly though after two dominant years in the SFA seasons 10 & 11 they faded away a little.
