With their first league title within touching distance, Farmborough Bounce slumped to their first defeat of an otherwise impressive season, going down 3-1 to mid-table Renegades, who out-smarted their opponents by defending deep and breaking swiftly, particularly during a pulsating 2nd half. The Renegades strikers were a constant menace, and Farmborough´s night was best summed up by Renegades´ 3rd goal, which crept over the line after hitting the post and striking Bounce´s keeper on the back.
Farmborough remain 3 points clear of Urine Trouble, who overcame an improving Leave-my-Arcelona 4-1, while S.O.PS Reunited maintained their unlikely title challenge by defeating Unatletico Madrid 9-0, after a disastrous 5 minute spell in the 2nd half for the Unatletico defence.
All eyes will now be on The Young Ones, who are the only team who can prevent Farmborough Bounce claiming the title. The Young Ones went down to a surprise 5-1 defeat at the hands of Norad FC, their first defeat since 12th December. The fate of the title could depend on which team turns up for the Young Ones in their final fixtures.
There are now 3 teams who could win the title. Urine Trouble need to win both remaining games against S.O.P.S Reunited to have any chance, but they must also rely on Farmborough being restricted to a point in their final two games against The Young Ones. If Bounce win either one of their games, then the title will be theirs. S.O.PS Reunited must win their final games and hope that Farmborough lose both of their fixtures. Even then, S.O.PS will need to finish with a better goal difference.
Complicated, isn´t it??!!
