Some extra stats on the head-to-head matchups:

• All of TTU's four wins over Tegal have come in the YF league.
• Three of the last five meetings have been won by TTU, with one win to Tegal and one draw.
• The combined score in those last five meetings is TTU 12 - 6 Tegal.
• Both of Sanchez's two wins over, and five of their draws with, Sky Valley have been in the YF league.
• Sanchez hasn't beaten Sky Valley since season 30 (2 draws, 2 losses since).
• The Whips have never beaten Tawa AFC in the YF league, but have won all three of their TM league meetings.
• According to TM history, all four of the EQC - Phoenix matchups were in season 31 with a combined score of EQC 7 - 0 WPFC.

More importantly, The Trains are unbeaten in all YF League Byes since the YF league's first season. In fact they have not conceded a single goal in the byes...

Well, to be honest, while our defnesive record is unbeatable, we also seem to struggle to score in the byes as well...

Always look forward to my fever league matchups with TTU. Always so much on the line. Grrrrivals!

nix 1-0 up heading into the half against EQC

Meanwhile the Whips are up 0 - 3 away to Tawa AFC

Phew! Another cleansheet for the trains in the bye... and no yellow cards either!

Snuck a 1-0 win vs Surge Thunder :)

Good win tonight, solid 5-0 triumph

dammit! thought I had a good chance there, oh well I'll get you next game....

Chew chew!

Apologies for the late results and lack of preview for this round. Been a hectic few days.

5 - 0 up over Tawa AFC, and Hillary Wanderers holding a 1 - 0 lead over the Phoenix going into injury time in div 3.

Result. Whips despatched. And they didn't like it, getting dirty in injury time. W Read sent to the showers early...

4 - 0 loss to Tegal. Not surprising.

2-1 over AD Fafe.  Doing well in YF league, but shite in normal league!

Dirty players

Dominated possession against Tegal. I'll call that a moral victory.

Yep that shows there is some ground being made. Seems a harsh scoreline. Once Askew and a couple of my older guys go, that'll be a leveller. 

At least my keeper is young I think, so that should help.

Dirtiest players after round five

Halfway through and there are only three unbeaten teams, two of those having perfect records. Some good battles for promotion going on here so the reverse fixtures should be interesting. Sanchez has done Tegal a favour in the race for the title by knocking over Thunderthighs.

No shortage of goals so far; 12 players are averaging a goal a game or better.

Nathan Horne has picked up a yellow in every game, the dirty bugger. 3 straight reds, 5 pairs of yellows -- 8 dismissals in 40 matches. The dirtiest division is div 4, mainly thanks to AD Fafe having a shocker in round one. In fact, the four dirtiest teams all play in div 4, with Surge Thunder being the exception.

Note that I've limited the golden boot and dirtiest players to those with more than one goal/point to limit the length of the tables.

back in with a shout!

Cheers sanchez!

RESULT!!!

The Trains are, unfortunately, not quite at full steam for tonights return leg versus The Shaky Boys...

0-0 Tawa AFC vs Nix at half time.

You were right to prepare your excuses in advance. Well pleased to complete the double over the trains with a 5-2 away win.

Still, you scored more than Spain...
