So guess the Cup started tonight.
We are up against the Battle Hill Juniors (B), 74mins in and we lead 3-0, pretty happy with this, looks like a 2nd round cup for us at least.

Final score 3-0, and one of my players left the field with a 10.0 rating :D
I have no centre backs and thusly am in extra time
Comfortable 3-0 win for me.
3-2 victory for me, goal achieved...more important things to focus on in the league at the moment.
Trains won 1 - 5 away.
Steam Engines got pork sworded.
Got done by a AI player with a rubbish team. This season's bad run continues...
Won my first ever cup tie. I'll take that!
I got drawn up against another premiership side in my first round. Incredibly bad luck.
I'm playing Huggies Huggalots... hmmm... lol
Soren Kofoed scores with is head in the 91st minute and The Trains go through 0 - 1 away to Linwood.
Chew chew!
Well I played a Championship team, scored first, they got two, then we scored at 90+2 to get extra time, and all the way to penalties. Our keeper saved their first, and we scored our first 2, leading 2-1 it looked alright, but somehow we missed three in a row and were eliminated 4-2 on penalties.
got smashed 3-1 by another division 1 team. oh well goal met.
Nice to see the cup draw.
We have another League 1 side this time around => SV Ngunguru (Mid table in L1G4)
Looks like a newbie last season, was in League 2, in 21 games before the new season they scored a total of 9 goals.
Newbie = bot. Should win that one.
I've got a tough one, against a side with several 3.5 star players, with two of them being strikers. Not ideal, as the usual round 1 opponent is a bot! Oh well, I'll back my guys.
got the manu 'b' side which look pretty poor, hopefully he doesn't stack the team.
It's pretty hard to. Their A team will have a cup game too probably. And if you drop players who are too good they refuse to play for the B team. So you should get through to the next round comfortably.
yeah this is true, think I might up the ante a bit with the cup tournament and my clib goals.
Not looking forward to the cup match tonight, very tough opponents. I beat two very strong teams in S31 in the cup, then lost to a bot in S32, so maybe a good side does me good.
Can't beat the cup! Hope to win another few games this year.
Sponsor goal is for 1 win in the cup .... c'mon you Falcons!
targetting 3 wins in the cup this year - hoping to get 'B' teams or low level teams all the way through.
1-0 leads for senior and reserve teams at 27 mins
1st team 4-0 up at half time
http://trophymanager.com/matches/65713024/
Reserves losing 2-1 at half time
3-0 and 1-0 at 45.
0-0 at halftime, five yellow cards doesn't look too promising for the second period however.
Why couldn't I have drawn a bot.... Angst!
Down 1-0, FFS
Melddahl!! 1-1!
87' Gone for me and still 0-0
Bugger me...just conceeded in the 89th...
Ah well that'll pretty much sum up how this season has treated me. #writeoff
Get in!!!!!! 90th minute!!!!
Down 1-0 after 61, but a 90th minute winner (minner?) puts me through to the second round. First cup match I've played which didn't go into extra time, and the second time I've made it into the second round, the first time I beat a Div 2 side so hopefully more of the same.
Crossing my fingers for a favourable draw!

Extra time for us as it is 1-1 after 94mins.
And no prizes for guessing who scored our goal.
GOAL!!!!
98th minute goal from a free kick to Wilson, we lead 2-1.
Trains down 2 - 1 in extra time after leading 1 - 0 at half time.
Oh yeah! Soren with a volley from the edge of the area and it's locked up at 2 - 2!
Reverse Commentator's Curse for once!
119 minutes gone. I think we're heading to spot kicks...
