As the Chimay Cup enters the half way point, the romance is still very much alive and well. The second legs of the second round ties will not take place until after the Christmas break, so how are the remaining contestants fairing as they enter the Christmas break?
Tie One: John G v James G
The Lucky Boy, John G, may be soaring in the league – but you get nothing for a pair (of strikers) in this game. Unfortunately for John G, he can’t hide behind the goal frenzies of Yakubu and Santa Cruz and his rather inept ability to correctly predict score lines is being exposed ruthlessly by James G. Going in to the second leg, James G holds a four point advantage; a two correct scores advantage and a four away points advantage. Still, this is the cup and John G is the Lucky Boy – anything could happen... just don’t bet on it.
Tie Two: Alastair v Andrew
The romance is definitely alive and well in the second tie of the round. Bookies favourite Andrew takes on crowd favourite, Alastair. Once again, Alastair is upsetting the form book and going toe to toe with the reigning Chimay Cup champion. After an explosive win in the first round against John N, Andrew is in a dog fight with Alastair and will go in to the second leg trailing seven points to six. Both players have one correct score line each and there is no apparent away advantage as yet. The tie is on a knife edge, but we’ll have to wait until the New Year to see its exciting climax.
