Tom Chat - Gameweek 31

Matchleague Premier

Week 21 brought plenty of excitement in the Matchleague Premier, with big results at both ends of the table.

Tastur Bondai Barca secured a crucial 58–56 victory over league leaders Dzeko & The Bunnymen, drawing level on 46 points and cutting the gap in goal difference. Forever QPR delivered the standout performance of the round, hammering Replacements 72–25. That fourth straight win moves them up to third.

COYS FC ended their losing streak with a narrow 35–31 win against bottom-of-the-table Alpha Athletic, moving them up to fifth. Alpha remain firmly stuck at the foot of the league. JDeacon7 narrowly beat Victorious Secret 67–65, climbing to sixth, while Victorious Secret drop to 11th after losing their third game in a row.

In mid-table, Wills Wingdings picked up another important win, beating Moaty’s Maniacs 56–45 to move up to seventh, just ahead of Unbeatables, who edged relegation-threatened Badly Good 53–47.

Elsewhere, Fossil Park East comfortably saw off IFK Harltonham 57–39, continuing their climb to ninth. IFK remain in the relegation zone (12th), alongside Badly Good and Alpha Athletic.

Matchleague Division 1

Calzio took another step closer to promotion from Division 1, comfortably beating bottom side Gothatters FC 53–34 to maintain their commanding lead at the top. Nearest challengers St Ives Seagulls stumbled again, losing 50–46 to third-placed Shadwell Town, who continue to close the gap.

Empire of the Son recorded an impressive 65–44 victory over Jurysout, moving up to fourth and boosting their playoff hopes. Jurysout slip to fifth after a disappointing result.

Team Gotland saw off Beckenbaurfly 45–33, climbing to sixth and keeping their playoff ambitions alive, while Beckenbaurfly slip further into trouble, now second-bottom.

In the relegation fight, Real Ale Rovers secured a vital win, narrowly beating Abone FC 47–43 to climb out of the bottom three. Gremlins moved clear of immediate danger with a convincing 60–26 victory over Commitments, who continue to slide down the table.

Mafia Four Lions earned a valuable three points with a low-scoring 39–26 win against Missing Link, who remain in mid-table.

With just a few games remaining, the battles for playoff positions and survival at the bottom are seriously heating up.

Matchleague Division 2

Eze Does It clinched the Division 2 title with a solid 50–38 victory over OnlyGuehiInDaVillage, who finish seventh and face automatic relegation.

Chacarita secured automatic promotion by comfortably beating Atleterna 42–29, leapfrogging them into second place. Atleterna must now get through the playoffs to win promotion.

By ’Eck head into those playoffs in good form, narrowly beating fellow playoff contenders Whalley Range FC 37–33. The two sides will meet again soon in the playoff semi-finals.

Team Georgies Boys beat bottom side Laljiland FC 38–31 to climb to sixth, but their fight isn't over yet. They must win the playoffs—first getting past Atleterna over two legs, then winning the final—to secure promotion and avoid relegation. If they manage it, fifth-placed Whalley Range FC would go down in their place.

Laljiland FC finish bottom, relegated alongside OnlyGuehiInDaVillage, with all eyes now on an exciting playoff battle to settle the final promotion and relegation places.

Final Division 2 Table 24/25

Matchleague Division 3

Hoofball clinched the Division 3 title, but it ended up far closer than they’d have liked after losing their final match 49–35 to playoff-bound Bongo Fury. Glory Glory finished level on points after narrowly beating Kamikazees 24–23. Just four more points on goal difference would've handed Glory Glory the crown, making it an agonisingly close finish. Both teams had already secured automatic promotion.

Henry C FC head into the playoffs in great form, comfortably seeing off Makrillarna 36–21. They now face Bongo Fury in the semi-finals, while Makrillarna meet Kamikazees in the other tie.

At the bottom, Bowl Rock Rovers ended their season on a high note, beating Nozy 53–37 and leaving Nozy holding the wooden spoon..

Final Division 3 Table 24/25

Reality Matchleague

Shadwell Town RL strengthened their hold at the top of the Reality Matchleague with a comfortable 57–31 victory over No Kane Do, their fifth consecutive win. Had it not been for the 16-point penalty they received for illegal transfers in January, they’d also be top of the Reality Masterleague—underlining just how strong their season has been.

Their closest challengers, Van De Ven Diagram, slipped up again, narrowly losing 28–24 to Mafia Four Lions RL, leaving them five points adrift of the top.

Elsewhere, Swehoops moved slightly clearer of the bottom places with a vital 41–28 win against third-placed Pukki Bowl FC. Bottom side IFHarltonham Absolut secured their third consecutive victory in a low-scoring encounter with Unbeatables RL, edging it 29–27 to continue their late-season revival.

In mid-table, Wills Wingdings RL climbed to fifth after a solid 37–27 win over GAIS, who remain sixth but lose ground on the teams above.

It’s another worrying defeat for Unbeatables RL, who now find themselves level on 15 points with GAIS and No Kane Do as they fight to avoid finishing at the wrong end of the table.

Manager of the Week

Manager of the Week honours go to Puntus, whose ForeverQPR topped all of AllSwengland with an impressive 72 points. On the other hand, Patrik Wedberg takes the Worst MOTW after his Makrillarna side scraped together just 21 points.
