Coledale Cup Round 2

And on to more important footballing matters than the World Cup.
Next week sees the second leg of the Coledale Cup, with the Maroons miraculously holding a slender 4-3 lead. Do away goals count double? If so, a 1-0 victory for the Whites will be enough to claw the cup from the grasp of the Maroons.

Although the game is officially scheduled for 3pm, I believe it was agreed we'd switch it to 1pm?

Both sides go into the match on the back of some form, albeit atrocious form. Whilst the Whites have a slender goal difference advantage over the last three games, amazingly the Maroons have better (read less poor) form over the last six games.

The Whites need a win to keep their ever increasingly slender hopes of a top 4 finish alive - however according to 'when I'm away' they're going to be missing Alex Kocatekin, Andrew Huckstepp, Doug Hamill, Glen Cahill and Glenn Paull, whilst the Maroons only have Graeme Phillipson absent. So the plan is to put all the remaining 20 players on the pitch at the same time. (The reality is that the Maroons will probably have 8 missing). Of the 11 that do take the pitch it has to be hoped that they'll do less of a headless chicken impersonation than England this morning.
The only consolation of England's demise? Fergus doesn't win the sweepstake!

is it that obvious I'm bored at work?
