Tom Chat - Gameweek 38

Season Finale

Matchleague Premier

Tastur Bondai Barca sealed the Matchleague Premier title on the final day of the season, edging out JDeacon7 in a tight 57–55 contest. With rivals Dzeko & The Bunnymen falling to a shock 74–48 defeat against already relegated IFK Harltonham, Tastur finished three points clear at the top to claim the crown.

Dzeko had been in pole position heading into the final week, but their defence unravelled dramatically as IFK delivered their standout performance of the season, striking a devastating blow to Dzeko's title hopes.

COYS FC wrapped up their season in third place, concluding a strong campaign with a 52–46 victory over Unbeatables.

It was also a disappointing week for Moaty’s Maniacs, who were convincingly beaten 62–32 by a revitalised Replacements side. The Replacements ended their season strongly with three consecutive wins but fell just short of overtaking the Maniacs in the final standings.

Forever QPR and Fossil Park East couldn’t be separated, playing out a competitive 50–50 draw that saw both teams finish comfortably mid-table.

Wills Wingdings suffered a comprehensive 67–50 defeat at the hands of Alpha Athletic, who, despite finishing impressively with two strong wins, couldn't avoid finishing in the relegation places. They now face life outside the top flight.

Badly Good concluded their campaign level on points with Victorious Secret after defeating them 66–49. However, Victorious Secret’s far superior goal difference sealed Badly Good’s fate, confirming their relegation.

Victorious Secret, despite a promising early-season run and a cup final appearance, ultimately slumped to a disappointing 11th-place finish.

Williams wins again!

Division 1

Division 1 Champions Calzio signed off in style with a 53–48 victory over Missing Link, finishing on 51 points with 17 wins—comfortably clear of the chasing pack.

Empire of the Son secured second place with a solid 58–49 win against Gremlins, while Mafia Four Lions drew 41–41 with Abone FC to finish third. However, managers of both Empire of the Son and Mafia Four Lions already have teams in the Premier division, making them ineligible for promotion.

This opened the door for others, and St Ives Seagulls seized the opportunity emphatically, cruising past Team Gotland 79–46 to rise to fourth position on 43 points and confirm their promotion.

Shadwell Town also secured promotion despite a surprise 59–56 defeat to already relegated Gothatters FC. Their superior goal difference proved crucial as they finished level on 42 points with Commitments, who ended their season with a confident 55–35 victory over already relegated Real Ale Rovers.

Jurysout ended strongly, beating Beckenbaurfly 63–52, though both sides now drop into Division 2 alongside Real Ale Rovers and Gothatters FC.

Division 2

Team Georgies Boys produced a sensational performance at the crucial moment, overpowering Whalley Range FC 58–28 in the Division 2 playoff final to secure promotion.

Despite entering the match as underdogs due to a weaker regular-season record, Georgies Boys flipped the script spectacularly, more than doubling Whalley Range's total on the day.

Team Georgies Boys join Eze Does It and Chacarita in Division 1 next season. In contrast, Whalley Range FC, who began the playoffs from fifth position, face relegation to Division 3 alongside OnlyGuehiInDaVillage and Laljiland FC.

A thrilling finale to a turbulent season for both clubs—but only Team Georgies Boys walk away smiling.

Division 3

The Division 3 playoff final couldn't have been any closer, as Makrillarna and Bongo Fury played out a tense 34–34 draw. With each side scoring one goal, the outcome was decided by the fewest goals conceded across the gameweek.

Makrillarna edged it by the narrowest possible margin—conceding 10 goals compared to Bongo Fury’s 11. That razor-thin advantage was just enough to seal their promotion to Division 2.

It's a harsh end for Bongo Fury, who battled fiercely, but it's Makrillarna who take the final promotion spot, joining Hoofball and Glory Glory in moving up.

Reality Matchleague

The curtain closed on the Reality Matchleague with a goal-filled finale and some last-minute surprises.

Champions Shadwell Town RL, despite clinching the title earlier, suffered a third consecutive defeat—edged out 54–51 by a resurgent Unbeatables RL, who ended the season impressively in fifth place following four straight victories.

Van De Ven Diagram cemented second place in style, comfortably defeating IFHarltonham Absolut 63–46 to finish on 37 points. IFHarltonham, however, ended their season rooted to the bottom, conceding over 1,000 points and earning the unwanted wooden spoon.

Pukki Bowl FC secured third place thanks to a commanding 70–38 win over No Kane Do, while Mafia Four Lions RL maintained fourth position with a solid 64–49 victory against Wills Wingdings RL.

Swehoops concluded their strong late-season revival by beating GAIS 58–35, finishing sixth.

With promotion and relegation not in play in the Reality League, pride and bragging rights dominated the final round—and it certainly didn't disappoint.

Manager of the Week

Manager of the Week honours go to John "The Don" Williams, who capped off an outstanding campaign by securing the Matchleague Premier title on the final day. A worthy end for the newly crowned AllSwengland champion.

In stark contrast, the unenviable Worst MOTW goes once again to Robbie Dunn, who registered the lowest weekly score for the fifth time this season—more than any other manager—ending his season on a low note.

Cheers, and see you all next season! 🤓
