Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 1, 2020 Well, football coach Pat Dye has Dyed now, giving Death Impends a very early lead against JiroemonKimura. The month is only beginning however, which means there’s plenty of time for a comeback to happen... 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 0 - 0 2.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 4, 2020 That makes that match against Death Impends 4 - 4 now. However, Death Impends currently leads due to Pat Dye being slightly younger than Vergueiro. 1.

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 7, 2020 An Fear Beag now has a 4 point lead against Clorox with a hit from a city that borders another city with an important event, hopefully confirming that there won’t be any need for the coin toss this round. It’s also currently an interesting finals set up between a dead pooling legend and the cup rookie of the year, but things can always change. 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 4 - 0 2.

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted June 7, 2020 Surely once players have different hits, the age difference means that there can’t be a coin toss? The sadly very young age of Marne Xiong probably gives me the “away goals” in this match, should it end tied. is this the first year that there has been no need for a coin toss in the cup?

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 7, 2020 I think the inaugural cup had no coin tosses either, though I’m not 100% sure on that one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s a tricky thing to comeback from, but it ain’t over until it is over, so anything can happen. 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 8 - 0 2.

Deadsox didn't even join the game till the second round. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 10, 2020 That’s three points each for An Fear Beag and Clorox, with An Fear Beag looking to be the highest scoring team of the round thus far 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 11 - 3 2. Death Impends vs JiroemonKimura 4 - 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 17, 2020 A quick update for snooker legend Willie Thorne before I head to bed, who has now died and gives Clorox a bit of a comeback path now... 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 11 - 7 2. Death Impends vs JiroemonKimura 4 - 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 25, 2020 Been a long while since the last hit, and as it stands the final match will be Death Impends vs An Fear Beag (Death Impends is winning against Jiroemon on age, and I’m really surprised that match hasn’t gotten more hits). If things hold, that’ll be the third year in a row the rookie of the year makes it to the finals and the first time someone returns to the cup finals. So yeah, interesting times ahead if things hold... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Russ 7,220 Posted June 30, 2020 As I stress about whether our two finalists will send in a team or not, everyone in the semis get 3 free points due to Killer Tim’s demise. Might make the July teams more interesting... if they come, that is. 1. An Fear Beag vs Clorox 14 - 10 2. Death Impends vs JiroemonKimura 7 - 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An Fear Beag 1,535 Posted June 30, 2020 I'm in, and I believe Death Impends is too, so unless someone else decides to kick the bucket in the next 40 minutes, it looks like that's the match-up.
