Hello all. Firstly, Happy New Year to everyone in the English forums. Now, my apologies go out for my inactivity on this forum for the last week and a half, I've been skiing in France and the WiFi in the hotel was abysmal which meant I could only get on to set lineups. Here's the reports for the previous three rounds that I've missed..
ROUND SIX SUMMARY
The sixth round saw a wonderful, captivating contest between the two most successful English managers in recent times, with Tatatallfella knocking out defending champions, Tide of Fire by a score of 93-79. This round also saw two intriguing games between Bethnal Green Erks v new jersey2 and Stinkilemons v Triximos Tricks which saw both EBBL teams prevail by scores of 112-119 and 84-83 respectively. There was also a massive upset in store with M Dogs being knocked out by third division side, BlasterbAg Man by a margin of 8 points.
ROUND SEVEN SUMMARY
This round saw yet another two match ups between EBBL sides with new jersey2 hosting Tatatallfella and Stinkilemons matching up against Galaxy Walkers. The games lived up to expectation with Tatatallfella and Stinkilemons both booking their quarter finals spots with commanding wins. The other EBBL sides involved, Durham Wasps and Los Mikitos, also guaranteed a next round draw, both beating lower division opposition. BlasterbAg Man also continued to impress by knocking Irvine Blackhawks out to be the last third division side in this seasons competition.
QUARTER-FINALS SUMMARY
Entering the business end of the competition, everything was to play for with Tatatallfella hosting his third EBBL team in succession in Stinkilemons. The game saw the former champion, Tallfellas, dominate the quarters either side of half time to book his place in the semis, thanks to a 96-79 win. The other results went as expected with Los Mikitos and Durham Wasps winning comfortably to guarantee a semi final clash whilst BlasterbAg Man had his run ended by division II side Kapsukas by a score of 149-122 to be the only non-EBBL side present in the tournament.
The semi final will see the Tallfella's drawn once again against an EBBL side with Los Mikitos awaiting the challenge. In the other semi final, Durham Wasps will bid to reach their first ever tournament final against division II side Kapsukas who will be bidding to become the fourth division II side to win the tournament.
Teams remaining are as follows:
EBBL (3/16)
II.1 (0/16)
II.2 (0/16)
II.3 (0/16)
II.4 (1/16)
Good luck to all teams involved.
