THE VAN OUTEN AND VAN HOUTEN SHOW Nine league games before today and both Springfield City and Savik were still searching for their first win of the season. Both sides lined up with four men in attacking positions with Springfield boss Symonds reminding his players before kick off how important three points from today’s game could be for their season. Springfield certainly started the brighter with winger Van outen looking particularly lively and it was no surprise when he put his side into the lead on 8 minutes. A well timed run inside the full back to latch onto Pernfors pass befotre sloting the ball home under keeper Van Nistlerooy. He was at it again on 15 minutes after avoiding Lurgan’s desperate challenge he checked onto his left foot before curling the ball into the top corner. With a 2-0 lead the home fans were in fine voice but they had to wait until the 35th minute before cheering another goal after Van Houten poked home Brockman’s lay off. There was to be no let up in the second half as Springfield continued to attack at will with Savik looking a well beaten side. Van Houten added a second half brace to his tally to earn him the match ball and manager Symonds was very happy chappy with the 6-0 final score. This result took Springfield out of the bottom three and up to the heady heights of 8th place and some breathing space from the relegation battle below them. At the top Lutterworth strolled to an 8-0 win over injury hit Tuath De Danan and Knight’s 29th minute goal was enough to give Deane Rangers a vital win over Regional Rovers to move them into 2nd place after Thistle were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Lichfield Tigers. Butler curled home a magnificent free-kick into the top corner from 25 yards to complete a great hat-trick to leave boss McCrudden singing his praises in the post match interviews. Barneys stay in 2nd place despite this result but Aero Force have now closed the gap to just 2 points. IRISH EYES ARE SMILING It was 3rd vs 2nd in Division 2 today as Wee Seamy’s Aero Force team took on Barneys Devils whose boss Wells has done brilliantly to get some fine performances from his team this season. What followed surprised just about everyone after Aero Force put on an attacking master class in their best performance of the season to date. Instrumental throughout was Wag Butler who was unplayable throughout. On 14 minutes he seized on a slip by Boor and advanced into the penalty area before firing into the bottom corner. Just three minutes later he was on hand to side foot home Tromso’s cross to the back post. Straight from the kick off he robbed Zappa of the ball before racing forward and crossing for Medvedev to head home. Barneys were struggling to get into the game with Tromso and Kaunda bossing midfield to supply chance after chance for the forwards. Ragnar Rok provided the perfect end to the half for the home side with a brilliant solo goal as he waltzed through the Barneys defence before calmly slotting the ball home to give his side a 4-0 lead. The second half didn’t have the same intensity as the first but the goal the home side craved arrived on 89 minutes when Wag Elsewhere all the other sides in the top 6 won which results in just 4 points separating 2nd to 6th place while Barstow continue serenely on at the top after a 6-1 win at home over Greyhawk. ASHCROFT SERVED COLD MASH BY RIVER PLATE Auto FC have enjoyed a fine start to the league season, sitting 5 points clear of nearest rivals Kelchester Utd with 7 wins to their name already. They travelled to mid table and inconsistent River Plate today with boss Ashcroft recently returned from a manager’s conference in Norwich. His time away hadn’t done much to help relax though after being found to frequently shout about potatoes with mash and boiled with butter proving particular favourites! Plate boss Samson had done his KICKABOUT and all it's ideas , programs and written materials are the copyright property of Spellbinder Games & C T Dempsey 1 homework with both Comment and Bankrept Nation assigned to marking duties which they both performed brilliantly to tip the odds in their favour. The first half was a tame affair in truth but the home side were up for it from the start of the second and pressed Auto back and having to rely on sweeper Skoda to save them on more than one occasion with timely interceptions. He was powerless to prevent River Plate open the scoring on 60 minutes when some fine link up play between attacking midfielders Barry and Matabele resulted in the recent signing from West Yorkshire looping home a fine header from 10 yards. With (G) Inccie well shackled there was no way back for Auto and they slip to their second defeat of the season. UP FOR THE THE CUP THIRD ROUND REPLAY HIGHLIGHTS Brave performance from Royalle FC from Division 4 but the extra class and some effective man marking from Barneys saw them edge this replay 2-0. Going into the last 10 minutes it looked as though the game was heading for extra time until two goals in a minute from midfielder Odobe wun dwee and striker Rat handed them victory*****Another goal fest between Kelchester and Saturnalia but with home advantage and the lethal Esltrup and Callaghan partnership in full flow they emerged with a 7-4 victory. Disappointment though for the visitors as after 15 minutes they were 3-1 ahead but then the Kelchester attacking machine clicked into top gear and found the Saturnalia defence to be easy pickings. All three teams below them won to make the race for promotion a really intriguing one now with only two points between Auto at the top and West Yorkshire in 4th. With the games coming thick and fast as we move towards the half way point in the season this is the time when a good run is needed to keep your team in the top three. BOWLING ALONG SECOND ROUND HIGHLIGHTS Close game between Spring Town and Gateshead with defences well on top and it petered out into a tame 0-0 draw. Who will take a risk and attack their opponents to give the supporters something to cheer in the replay?*****Excellent second half performance from Inter Dene sees them outclass opponents Foggia Flyers 6-1 with f ive dif f er ent player s on the s c or e sheet*****Cochrane’s 19th minute volley was all that separated Chigley and Hearts Brigade and to be honest visiting manager Stevens can feel rightly aggrieved they did not force a replay based on their performance*****From the moment Syren flicked home Grunge Miller’s 3rd minute free-kick the writing was on the wall for poor Savik. In the end they escaped with just a 6-0 hammering and their suffering fans can’t wait for the season to end*****Even with two key men still missing Tuath should have progressed at the first time of asking against Cedar Athletic. They did hold a 1-0 lead at half time courtesy of Buckley’s 37th minute header but a slip in concentration by captain Finn on 53 minutes resulted in striker Atacama striding into the penalty area with purpose and he didn’t waste his chance to pull the scores level. Onto the replay now BATTLE ROYALLE Continuing with the theme of close run battles for promotion it seems Division 4 is also going to be one to watch over the next few months to see who manages to run into form at the right time. SS Gt Britain had started the season in superb form but their defeat by the young Lawton brothers last time out set the alarm bells ringing amongst their supporters. Could boss Thornhill handle the pressure of being league leaders by getting his team back on track by beating 4th placed Hearts Brigade was the question on everyone’s lips as they entered the ground. Unfortunately for them the answer was no after rival boss Stevens managed to re-focus back onto KA duties to mastermind his team to a 1-0 victory. Not a game for the neutral this one with few chances but with a dominant midfield and a slick offside trap it was Hearts who scored the crucial goal on 38 minutes courtesy of Pontivedra’s low left footed finish. Chigley’s good form continued with an easy 2-0 win at home over Spring Town to pull them level on points with SS Gt Britain. Celta Ilford boss Barrett was delighted after a hard fought 1-0 victory over derby rivals Scarlett City. Striker Villa was the hero when his 54th minute header evaded the grasp of keeper Robertson to hand them a vital 3 points from their only effort on target. BULK PAYMENT OF TURN FEES - remember if you pay £51.00 at one time (which can cover more than one team) you get an extra free turn credited to your account. This offer does not include shomatch/weekend monies! The last of the teams pushing for a promotion spot are Royalle FC who followed up their fine win at SS Gt Britain with a 4-0 rout over struggling AFC Europa. Paddy O’Reilly opened the scoring on the half hour mark to set them on their way before three second half goals including a brace from targetman Majowski eased them to victory. 2 Callaghan imperious throughout they were good value for their 7-1 triumph. All over bar the shouting this tie I think*****Lichfield Tiger fans went home with the bragging rights over fierce derby rivals Hollywood Hawks after seeing young midfield maestro Dariondon scored the only goal of the game. Not many chances in this one but Lichfield’s marking gave them the edge and on 65 minutes Adams’ snap shot crashed against the underside of the crossbar and Dariondon reacted quickest to slot the ball home*****Playing in front of the KA cameras couldn’t inspire Thistle Rovers or Lutterworth to produce an attacking master class. Instead the game was played mostly in the midfield third and when chances to score did come along both sides players were willing to put their bodies on the line to keep the game at 0-0. Slight edge for Lutterworth boss Molloy now with one goal likely to prove decisive. STANDING ORDER PAYMENTS - you can also pay your turn fees by standing order now. Contact us for details about how to do this and remember that this is not only the way to spread your payments over the year rather than having to find a lump sum at the start of every season, but it is also the way to avoid those dreaded double turn fees. With SO payments this can’t happen. which the 1st Division side really should win*****Topaz thought they had got out of jail away against Newark as they battled back from 2-0 down to 2-2 with 10 minutes left to play, Newark striker Paris had other ideas though and his 85th minute strike would have been saved by a better keeper than Dmitrov but the youngster had to watch in horror as the ball squirmed under his body and into the net. TRANSFER TOPICS The golden oldie auction sees Deane Rangers pick up three squad players to raise their average squad age to the oldest in the league. Plenty of cover now should injuries and suspension bite later on in the season. PSV Wycombe pick up midfielder Ofwerman for 324k and he should bring some star quality and experience to their midfield. THE BOWL 2nd Round Draw INTER DENE VS BUCKSBURN CARSHALTON(NL)/STEVENAGE(NL) VS NEWARK NOMADS GATESHEAD UTD/SPRING TOWN VS CHIGLEY TOWN Some interesting deals between managers with Regional Rovers picking up their 7th (yes 7) star by signing midfielder Schneider from Lutterworth for just over £2m. TUATH DE DANAN/CEDAR ATHLETIC VS TELFORD(NL)/NORTHWICH(NL) Tie of the round sees Inter Dene entertain Bucksburn and I think the winner of this game will be hot favourites to win the Bowl. Newark and the winner of the Tuath/Cedar replay should ease past non league opposition. An all 4 t h Division affair sees Gateshead/Spring Town entertain high flying Chigley with lady magnet KP hoping to steer his side into the semi-finals here no doubt. My tips to progress are in bold, my apologies to all! Whiteside clearly wasn’t interested in staying in Division 3 and makes a swift return to the top flight as he joins Lichfield Tigers with all action midfielder Yashin moving in the opposite direction. Lichfield also decide against selling winger to King to rivals Regional Rovers and instead use him to entice Paddy O’Riley to join them from Royalle. Rock-ANore add La Plievre to their talented midfield after paying over £1m to Royalle for his services. LEAGUE CUP QUARTER-FINAL 1st Legs MANAGER OF THE MONTH DIVISION ONE: goes to manager BROOKS of Deane Rangers, great win over a dangerous Regional Rovers team to gain what could prove to be a vital 3 points. Brilliant acumen by Clifton Reds boss Armstrong who deployed a perfect 4-2-4 formation which blunted the dangerous five man Celta Ilford forward line. With O’Donnell superbly marshalling midfield this left Hartnett free to add his weight to the Clifton attack and the home defence just couldn’t cope. If keeper McNamara hadn’t been in inspired form the end result would have been far worse than the 2-0 end result*****Poor Bucksburn are the latest team to fall foul of the relentless attacking pressure applied by Kelchester. Two goals in the opening 10 minutes set the scene of what was to come and with Elstrup and DIVISION TWO:. goes to manager MCCRUDDEN of Aero Force, bringing Barney’s down to earth with a crushing 5-0 victory. DIVISION THREE: goes to manager SAMSON of River Plate, perfect tactics to beat the league leaders. DIVISION FOUR: goes to PRESLAND of Chigley Town, now joint leaders and going strong in the Bowl. 3 CLIFTON REDS Montgomerie 22 Mint 43 O’donnell 52,61 Goosen 69 RIVER PLATE Matabele 60 Wind: Brisk AC COKE Att 29160 Wind: Light WEST YORKSHIRE Cyrus 51 Wind: Light RESULTS ROUND-UP TEMPERATURE: Freezing Week twenty-two DIVISION 1 SPRINGFIELD CTY Van outen 8,15 Van houten 35,63,81 Fettster 64 THISTLE ROVERS Att 57500* Pitch: Frozen VIKING CONQUEST Att 35266* Wind: Light TUATH DE DANAN Att 36368* Wind: Light Pitch: Frozen DEANE RANGERS Knight 29 bkd - Yu (15) Pitch: Frozen HOLLYWOOD HAWKS Rowlands 11,52 Wind: Brisk 6 : 0 SAVIK F.C.

Pay for allseason mailing and we provide the envelope, the stamp, and the sticky label as well. No sweat. A season costs £25.00 overseas, £15.00 UK, or pro rataish if started during the season. ALL EMAIL - if you have shomatch/ teampick then you can elect not to have any hardcopies sent to you at all as everything can be done by email. Just let us know if you wish to do this in future. Handy for those abroad or in difficult postal areas. If you play in more than one league, and paid for all season mailing it's actually cheaper to buy shomatch and do it this way. NEW WEB-SITE is now up and running, www.Kickaboutonline. co.uk to see the goodies including a regular TEAMPICK/ SHOMATCH/ MARKINFO - all the info you need for these programs is at www.Teampick.co.uk THE KICKABOUT COMMUNITY EMAIL CHAT LIST - yes, you can subscribe to our email discussion group. There is a list for general Kickabout topics, a list for each individual league, one for the vulcano, one for teampick subscribers, even one for the weekend players. Learn more about the game, talk to other players and the Gm. To subscribe to the main list send a blank email to Kickabout-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. For others you do the same except put the league, name with Ka- infront of subscribe. However, some league lists have an ending in .co.uk instead of .com, so if one doesn't work then please try the other!! One thing to note about subscribing to the list, we post a regular schedule of where every league is in the processing schedule, when it is sent out, when the latest return-by-date is. This is of great help and if you have email you should really be receiving this. MARKING INFO - Tim Dodge has put together a clever little program that allowss shomatch subscribers to gather all the international squads together each session so that you can use that info to get marking info. Shomatch/ teampick subscribers get a file sent out a file with all the int squads listed and this program pulls them all together.

They were dominant from the start and they were 4-0 up at the break before exhibition stuff in the second half. Russia sneak 2nd spot ahead of Africa courtesy of a 1-0 win in Amsterdam over Holland. Sergi scored the crucial goal on 28th minutes following a good spell of pressure by the Russians.

In Group 2 South America and Asia were already assured of a top two finish but it was the home side who secured top spot with a single goal victory. A flowing move on 24 minutes from back to front resulted in Stoppa sweeping home at the back post to send the South American fans crazy in the stands. Figo’s 64th minute free-kick was enough to give them victory over Spain who have had a wretched campaign to date. (H - 0.5) (H - 0.3) (H - 0.9) PLAY-OFFS France condemn USA to finish bottom of the group after an entertaining game ended 5-3 with all eight goals scored in an amazing first half. The France boss can now reflect on what may have been, if only midfield powerhouse Ster hadn’t got injured in their first group game.

SO to try to explain it a little more here goes. How cash appears: 1. Most appears listed according to source [A] 2. Some cash, mostly corrections, appears as miscellaneous [B] 3. Rep squad and int squad cash appears in your 'cash' value in the turn the squads are produced [C] 4. Euro gate receipts appear in the balance brought forward in the turn following the match [D] 49.

In this session, MATHLETICO had 5 players in INT squads, so [C] = 1,111,111 + 100,825 + 125,000 = 1,336,936 RALEIGH REPRESENTATIVE SQUAD 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) 22) MOSCOW GK 23-13 VAN AKEN GK 30-13 SMITHERS SW 30-12 ELKJAR SW 22-12 MARASH DESAILLYDF27-17 KERR DF/A 26-14 JENSENSEN DF/A 27-13 LIZOWENSKI DF 33-13 CAGE DF/A 23-13 BUTTAR MF/D 28-14 BURNS MF/A/D 26-14 RICKETTS MF/A/D 20-13 KNIGHT MF/A 31-13 CASEY MF/A/D 23-12 CARLOS STIFEZ WG 27-16 WAG BUTLER FWS 26-14 PADDY O’REILLYFWS 22-16 ELSTRUP FWT 24-14 BUFFALO WG 19-15 SAMPAIO UT 22-14 CULBERT UT 32-13 CROSS UT 20-13 P P/S P/S P P/S P/S S P/S S P/S P/S P/S P/S P/S S P/S S P/S P/S S 12 SANNY’S ROVERS BUCKSBURN FC THISTLE ROVERS LUTTERWORTH TWN HOLLYWOOD HAWKS THISTLE ROVERS REGIONAL ROVERS LUTTERWORTH TWN LANGLAND BAY GREYHAWK UTD LANGLAND BAY LUTTERWORTH TWN DEANE RANGERS LUTTERWORTH TWN LUTTERWORTH TWN AERO FORCE FC LICHFIELD TIGER KELCHESTER UTD GREYHAWK UTD BARSTOW OKIES ROCK-A-NORE FC LANGLAND BAY RESULTS ROUND-UP TEMPERATURE: Cold DIVISION 1 DISRAELI Zuma 54 Wind: Calm NEWTON Att 49664 Pitch: Frozen 1 : 0 WELLINGTON Att 62137 Pitch: Muddy 0 : 0 RALEIGH Wind: Calm (H - 0.3) (A - 0.5) REPRESENTATIVE LEAGUE.

Now He wins because hE thinks about the weekend, doesn't drink himself silly, or get sidetracked by other things. So perhaps I should re-iterate what it takes to win the weekend (acumen, acumen, acumen ha ha!), by re-stating the ratings and how you win them! There are a number of categories in the ratings, and at the end of each session the program, ranks everybody in these categories. Whoever is the best/ highest/ lowest in the relevant category, gets one point, the next two points and all the way down to the bottom. These are then added up and the player with the lowest overall totals wins the ratings. Simple.~ What are these categories, well, here goes, with the weightings of each category besides them:- CATEGORY WEIGHTING LEAGUE POSITION 4 WAGES PAID 4 CASH AT BANK 3 DPPS 3 COMMENTS as a % of total levels LEVELS PER PLAYERS 3 per qualified player SQUAD AGE 3 On weekends most teams will be the same though ATTENDANCE 2 MPS LEFT ? APPS DISCOVERED 2 PPS LEFT ? CAPT LEVELS 1 CURRENT SPS 1 YOUTH INVESTMENT 1 Weighting +2 during season but -1 in Session 16 Weighting + 1 during season, -1 on lasts session# It is up to the players to manage these, lots of success is to do with winning games etc., but also allocating their cash in an intelligent matter. Though this CAN be difficult when the pints are being stacked up infront of you. CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS Can be made to us using the PAYPAL service. So if you want to pay anything by credit card then you could register with them and give it a try. Also note that if you send your payments as a gift ALL of the cash reaches us without any paypal fees being charged at our end and all is credited to your account. You can pay by card/paypal through our new web-site kickaboutonline.co.uk 14 15 16
