Tom Chat - Gameweek 38

Season done. Champions crowned. Promotions sealed. Wooden spoons awarded. Here’s the AllSwengland finale.

Matchleague Premier

ST IVES SEAGULLS are Matchleague Premier champions after finishing the season with a narrow 62-59 win over DZEKO & THE BUNNYMEN. It was not a comfortable final day, but it was enough to end the campaign on 60 points, three clear of WILLS WINGDINGS, and complete an excellent title-winning season.

WILLS WINGDINGS did what they needed to do, beating FOREVER QPR 58-41, but the result at the top meant they had to settle for second place. They finish on 57 points after a strong campaign of their own, with 19 wins from 26 matches.

The battle for third was settled by TASTUR BONDAI BARCA, who ended the season with a 50-26 win over FOSSIL PARK EAST. That result moved them onto 45 points and confirmed third place, three points ahead of FOREVER QPR, whose defeat saw them finish fourth.

There was movement in the middle of the table as REPLACEMENTS ended with a convincing 75-26 win over JDEACON7. That lifted them to fifth on goal difference, level on 40 points with COYS FC and JDEACON7. COYS FC also finished strongly, edging CALZIO 47-44 to claim sixth, while JDEACON7 slipped to seventh after a difficult final-day result.

Further down, MOATY'S MANIACS beat VICTORIOUS SECRET 68-60 to move above FOSSIL PARK EAST and finish ninth. SHADWELL TOWN also ended with a win, beating UNBEATABLES 55-50, but it was not enough to avoid relegation.

At the bottom, DZEKO & THE BUNNYMEN, CALZIO and SHADWELL TOWN are relegated. SHADWELL TOWN at least finished with three straight wins and moved above CALZIO on goal difference, but both sides ended on 28 points, one ahead of DZEKO & THE BUNNYMEN.

So the Matchleague Premier season ends with ST IVES SEAGULLS as champions, WILLS WINGDINGS as runners-up, TASTUR BONDAI BARCA completing the top three, and three familiar names heading out of the division.

Division 1

With the title already settled, JURYSOUT still finished their championship season in style with a 54-41 win over GREMLINS. They ended the campaign on 57 points, eight clear at the top, and go up as deserved Division 1 champions.

The remaining promotion places went to CHACARITA and EZE DOES IT, who both finished on 49 points. CHACARITA secured second place with a convincing 59-29 win over TEAM GOTLAND, while EZE DOES IT beat IFK HARLTONHAM 52-44 to make sure of third. Goal difference separated the two, with CHACARITA finishing just ahead.

GREMLINS had gone into the final week with promotion still possible, but defeat to JURYSOUT saw them drop to sixth. MAFIA FOUR LIONS moved above them with a 50-42 win over ALPHA ATHLETIC, while

COMMITMENTS also finished level on 45 points after beating BY 'ECK 53-31. Goal difference put MAFIA FOUR LIONS fourth, COMMITMENTS fifth and GREMLINS sixth.

MISSING LINK ended the season well, beating ATLETERNA 39-31 to finish seventh on 42 points. BADLY GOOD also closed strongly, making it three wins in a row with a 46-39 victory over TEAM GEORGIES BOYS. That result lifted them to eighth, ahead of BY 'ECK, who slipped to ninth after their final-day defeat.

Further down, ALPHA ATHLETIC finished tenth after losing to MAFIA FOUR LIONS, while TEAM GOTLAND ended in eleventh following their defeat to CHACARITA.

At the bottom, TEAM GEORGIES BOYS, IFK HARLTONHAM and ATLETERNA are relegated. TEAM GEORGIES BOYS finished 12th on 23 points, with IFK HARLTONHAM one point behind and ATLETERNA bottom on 21.

So Division 1 ends with JURYSOUT already crowned champions, joined in promotion by CHACARITA and EZE DOES IT, while TEAM GEORGIES BOYS, IFK HARLTONHAM and ATLETERNA drop out of the division.

Division 2

GLORY GLORY are Division 2 champions after finishing the season with a dominant 89-36 win over KAMIKAZEES. They ended the campaign on 52 points, level with HOOFBALL, but their superior points difference secured top spot and the title.

HOOFBALL also did their job on the final day, beating LALJILAND FC 38-25 to finish second on 52 points. It completed a superb run of form, with nine wins from their final ten matches, and confirmed their promotion in comfortable fashion.

The final promotion place went to REAL ALE ROVERS, who beat BONGO FURY 68-43 to move onto 50 points. That result took them above RED EXILES, whose 57-49 defeat to SPECKLED JIMS proved costly. RED EXILES had started the final week in third, but ended the season fourth on 48 points, two short of promotion.

CORNISH REDS also finished on 48 points after a strong 58-31 win over BECKENBAURFLY. That made it five wins in a row to close the season, but their points difference left them fifth behind RED EXILES. BECKENBAURFLY finished sixth on 45 points after a difficult final-day defeat.

SPECKLED JIMS ended the campaign well, beating RED EXILES to finish seventh on 41 points, just ahead of BONGO FURY, who slipped to eighth after losing to REAL ALE ROVERS. WHALLEY RANGE FC also signed off with a win, beating GOTHATTERS FC 66-46 to finish ninth.

Lower down, LALJILAND FC finished tenth despite defeat to HOOFBALL, while HENRY C FC and MAKRILLARNA shared the points in a 49-49 draw. HENRY C FC ended eleventh, with MAKRILLARNA twelfth.

At the bottom, GOTHATTERS FC finished thirteenth after losing to WHALLEY RANGE FC, while KAMIKAZEES ended the season with the wooden spoon after defeat to the champions.

So Division 2 ends with GLORY GLORY crowned champions, HOOFBALL promoted as runners-up, and REAL ALE ROVERS taking the final promotion place after a decisive final-day win.

Reality League

FOREVERGAIS are Reality Matchleague champions after finishing top of the table on points difference. They lost 56-34 to WILLS WINGDINGS RL on the final day, but PUKKI BOWL FC also slipped up, losing 49-45 to WHITEADDERS. That left both sides level on 42 points, with FOREVERGAIS taking the title thanks to their stronger points difference.

It was a tough finish for PUKKI BOWL FC, who had the chance to put pressure on at the top but could not get over the line against WHITEADDERS. They still end the season second after an excellent campaign, but the final table leaves FOREVERGAIS as champions by 75 points difference.

Behind the top two, BONGO FURY RL finished third after a 47-21 win over NO KANE DO. That result moved them onto 39 points and lifted them above the teams chasing the final podium place.

KUDUS TO YOU also finished strongly, beating SHADWELL TOWN RL 60-50 to end the season fourth, level on 39 points with BONGO FURY RL but behind on points difference. NO KANE DO dropped to fifth after their defeat, while MAFIA FOUR LIONS RL finished sixth after a narrow 51-49 loss to THEKUDOSTOUCH.

Further down, GAIS produced the biggest score of the final week, beating UNBEATABLES RL 84-47. That win moved them onto 30 points and confirmed eighth place, one spot behind UNBEATABLES RL, who finished seventh.

THEKUDOSTOUCH ended with a win and moved above SHADWELL TOWN RL into ninth. WILLS WINGDINGS RL also signed off well, beating the champions to finish eleventh on 24 points.

At the bottom, WHITEADDERS finished with a strong 49-45 win over PUKKI BOWL FC, but it was not enough to avoid the wooden spoon. They ended the season on 22 points, two behind WILLS WINGDINGS RL.

So Reality Matchleague ends with FOREVERGAIS crowned champions, PUKKI BOWL FC runners-up, BONGO FURY RL completing the top three, and WHITEADDERS finishing with the wooden spoon despite a final-day win.

MOTW

The final Manager of the Week award goes to Keith Lee, after GLORY GLORY produced the highest score across AllSwengland with 89 points, delivering a title-winning performance at exactly the right time as they beat KAMIKAZEES 89-36 to finish top of Division 2 and seal promotion as champions. The final Worst Manager of the Week goes to Lorna, after LALJILAND FC managed just 25 points in their 38-25 defeat to HOOFBALL, bringing a flat end to the season as they finished tenth in Division 2 on 34 points.

Congratulations to all our champions, promoted teams, cup winners and award winners, and commiserations to those on the wrong end of the final tables. As ever, the leagues are only what they are because people stay involved, and we really appreciate everyone who has been part of it this season.

Enjoy the break, recharge properly, and we will see you all again next season.

Thanks again from Me and Scaley.
