Ah, that is the beauty of it. There was no seeding. Matches drawn purely out of a hat like the FA Cup so any team can come up against any opposition.
Surely the Nine v Rosie match wasn't random, as that was the preamble to the whole tournament....? Jules |

Well yes, that was the starting point but I am not hearing any tears being cried for Rosie. If somebody wants to declare the entire tournament null & void because of this we can run the whole thing again with the new arrangements and bring in even more albums!  |

Found those first two tricky. Particularly hard to lose Holidays but, ultimately, no defence can hold out against that Thompson / Swarbrick partnership in their pomp.

And so we reach the semi final stage. Results of the quarters are below. I am genuinely surprised that some of these were not closer and in particular that the not very well hung squad from Babbacombe did not put up more of a fight. Fairport Convention have had a slightly easier passage to make the semis after two tight battles in earlier rounds.
Fairport Convention v Gladys Leap 21 – 14
Full House v What We Did On Our Holidays 25 – 10
Liege & Lief v Babbacombe Lee 25 – 10
Tipplers Tales v Nine 7 – 28
The draw for the semi final is as follows. Games to be played by midnight tonight.
Full House v Nine
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief
That looks pretty straightforward to me. The final looks predictable but I may yet be surprised.

Full House v Nine Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief (AET) Predictable? Probably, FC v L&L was a hard fought game, but the L&L team just managed to squeeze one in on the 119th minute

Full House v Nine - Both teams make mistakes, but a brilliant first half gets the win.
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief - The team with the new ideas leaves the opposition wondering what hit them.

Full House v Nine Tough game goes to extra time. S.Spens scores the vital goal
Fairport Convention v Liege & Lief Inventive Panenka-like penalty gives the mature side the victory in the penalty shoot-out

Predicable, me?
I'm just sulking that none of my favourites made it out the group stages!
