Menagerie make the Jellybellies all wobbly!Menagerie 1 - 0 Jellybellies A late strike 11 mins from time from Al Kahlolic settled this last 16 tie in which before the game was very tough for anyone to pick a winner. Both sides opted for the Use Wings style in Snowy Conditions and Defensive for the first 45mins. After a few tactical switches Kenny the Menagerie gaffer shouted for his side to attack from 60mins onwards and it paid dividend with the winner from Al Kaholic with a massive strike that gave the keeper no chance. The dangerous Menagerie march on to the 1/4's.

Deliver Miller started the free for all in the 16th min with an amazing lob from an acute angle, somehow Mr Danilo managed to equalise from a corner in the 39th min and sides went in level at HT. Into the 2nd half an a combination of a Pigeon, Gareth Bale and the Exeter Goalkeeper edged the away side back in front. Exeter threw the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink the plumbing the lot and finally got their equaliser in the 84th Min strangely enough also from a corner! But the comeback was not meant to be and we headed into ET and Emma Roids won it with a little side heel from close range.
Orioles sink Hoarse WhisperersHoarse Whisperers 0 - 2 Ocean City Orioles Conference 1 outfit Ocean City Orioles are also into the last 8 after a 2-0 away win at Hoarse Whisperers. After a goalless first half and nothing between the sides it took until the 57th Min to get the games opening goal. Danny Welbeck managed to bamboozle the Hoarse Whisperers defence and keeper when he took a throw in which caught flight with the wind and rain and managed to make its way into the back of the net. After opting to stay attacking from the 45th min, OCO pounced with a Counter Attack and sealed the 2-0 win on 72mins with a Mesut Ozil flick on.
We are no Fools!!The Flashhearts 1 - 2 Fools UnitedSome may say this is the shock of the round but Fools United have been quietly going about their business and claimed a massive scalp in the Last 16 knocking out one of the favourites The Flashhearts. To make it even better for the away side they won the game after being 1-0 down in the opening 30mins. A stunning 2nd half fightback saw goals from Geerke Geerkens and the winner 4 mins from time from Hinnerk Hinnerksen, however this result may have been aided by Kenny Loggins getting himself red carded for obstruction late on shortly before the winning goal. Into the last 8 for the away side!
The road to glory ends for RathpeaconRealale Madrid 2 - 0 Rathpeacon Unfortunately for Eamonn it wasn't a fairy tale ending for Rathpeacon as they were dumped out at the last 16 stage after a 2-0 defeat to the ever present Realale Madrid. The away side held out for the first 40mins but went a goal down when the home side dropped to Defence which allowed ... Christie to score a belter from the halfway line!! Both teams stayed defensive for the 2nd half and apart from a Rathpeacon player faking injury and getting booked for it not much else happened. The home side grabbed the 2nd and decisive goal in the 80th min. The away side will be pleased with their progress in this competition having knocked out Super Imps on their way to the last 16.

In horrible rainy conditions both teams stuck with Use Wings but it was the away side who took the lead after a great solo effort from Striker Anyside1_9
The home side wasted a hat full of chances for a solid half hour (30-60mins) and still found themselves 1-0 down, but their luck changed in the 82nd min when a dubious free kick was awarded for a "foul" and replays showed there was minimal contact. Uncle Jack duly stepped up and dispatched the resulting free kick. 4 mins later the away side were reduced to 10 men when Midfield Left1_8 received a 2nd yellow card for time wasting (trying to take the game to ET). The game did go to ET but swung in the home sides favour with Roby Ben grabbing the headlines in the 111th min.

In a even scrappy game which saw 4 yellows, Frank Gore and Goohan Mi-Son 16 clashed in a war of words which found them both end up in Simon Pieman's book.
The away sides journey ends here and the home side march on to the 1/4's
