This is the one youse have all been waiting for.

The draw for the prestigious Boarders Cup. Apologies for the delay but this was due the the popularity of the competition and unprecedented levels of competitors.

Anyway without any further ado - the draw is:

Max B Gold v Apple Wumble

PW v Celtient

Still Spike v 1690 Boab

O-no v I8ubutler

Dunners v The Mindsweep

Stage 3 v Elliot Ness

ChesuntO v Disso

Tufty v Big Nose Orange Billy

Matches will be decided by a roll of the die at Gold Towers HQ using the one below once the kids are finished their game of Monopoly. Please note the six will count as zero. Draws will be decided by a further roll of the die.

Results from the Vidiprinter coming in.

Max B Gold v Apple Wumble 4-4, 3-3, 2-5

PW 2 v Celtient 3

Still Spike 2 v 1690 Boab 1

O-no 4 v I8ubutler 0

Dunners 5 v The Mindsweep 3

Stage 3 5 v Elliot Ness 2

ChesuntO 1 v Disso 2

Tufty 0 v Big Nose Orange Billy 1

Some cracking ties there. Not least the tussle for superiority between me and Apple Wumble. It was a long drawn out battle of tactics which I lost by foolishly sticking to the widely criticised Lingelton Method.

Draw for the next round coming up shortly. There will be a short pause for the committee to hear any protests.

Just noticed Tufty took a sore one there. The boys in green took a hiding.

This is more like it.
Although away draw with o-no is a tough one.
Maybe there should have been seeding.

Results in from the Quarters


Apple Wumble 3 v Celtient 2

Still Spike v o-no 2-2, 3-3, 5-0

Dunners 3 v Stage 3 5

Disso 0 T v Big Nose Orange Billy 3

The pumping of the round for Dunners going down 3-35. His continental tactics are just not suited to the brawn of the English.

As I was drawn as the away player do spots not count double?

Yes a wise move. As I disapperaed to my shed after negotiating use of the die and the reserve die my wife asked what was going on. Instinctively I knew she would never understand so just said I was going out to watch some porn and arrange my scud books in date order.

The Semi-final draw is in and it is this:

Apple Wumble v Still Spike

Stage 3 v Big Nose Orange Billy

These guys have the chance to get to the first final of the Boarders Cup and win the second hand medals displayed above.

Medal 1 - Previously awarded to my old man as manager of Johnstone United as Runners Up in the Paisley & District KO Cup

Medal 2 - I believe is one of mine. No idea what the competition was.

Medal 3 - Will be awarded to the winner of the 3rd and 4th place play off. Was my old mans Scottish Bowls Federation badge from 2000. It was a benevolent fund where bowlers paid a fiver or something and got a badge and if they died in the year they got a small sum to cover a nice tea and a drink at their wake.
