Righteous FC triumphant (again) in our ‘top of the pops’ special, dubbed “Margaret Thatcher’s Ashes”.

Due to too much champagne, the late night table announcement contained a slight error and a steward’s enquiry awarded Dunstan Bruce his missing point.

Corrected table here with goals scored criteria taking precedence over goals conceded.

P. W. D. L. F. A. Pts

Righteous 2. 2. 0. 0. 6. 3. 6

Top of the Pops veterans Dunstan Bruce and Stephen Boakes joined the usual suspects in an unofficial bank holiday flick for the ‘mournament of the century’ in honour of Margaret Thatcher’s funeral.

Starting with a debate to decide Lady Thatcher’s plastic figure’s fate – should it be burnt?

Eventually, a compromise was reached

Steve’s original #16 figure – Margaret Thatcher – was to be ‘buried’ in our trophy – The Ashes.

Therefore, becoming part of ‘The Ashes’.

 

In a thrilling, fun filled day, Dunstan’s FC Chumba Wanderers played a blinder scoring four goals in his debut appearance in an EDIDAS competition.

Dunstan was euphoric – having scored 2 of them against champions Righteous.

Stephen’s Sensations FC fared slightly better – gaining a point against Steve’s FCA – Thwarting Baroness Thatcher’s hope of shining on her big day in doing so.

Everything else fell into its normal place as Chris’ Brighton Buses finished runner up to James’ Righteous.

Pete’s Soweto Picnic and Steve’s FCA fought it out for bottom place.
