BUD vs FIPS: Legends face off

Two of the greatest ever Nuclear Cup players came face to face when The Units' Charlie "Bud" Tingwell and Green Loraxes' Fips Hanus (both pictured) lined up on opposite sides in Round 3 of the Nuclear Cup. In the first half, Fips made a great save to deny Bud, but in the second half Bud responded- soaring to head the ball past Fips for his 3rd goal in as many games. So, honours were even on the day between the two superstars, however Fips had the last laugh with the Loraxes, thanks in part to a spectacular 7-star performance by uber-midfielder Patrik Egggard (no typo- 3 g's!!), winning the match easily in the end 6-1 and going to the top of the table. Bluthenthal despite being hot favourites against Mababies, just managed to win 3-2, but still kept their chances of a top 2 finish alive. The other group A match saw BRAP2, bolstered by the return of a couple of stars from injury, defeat More Fire! 4-1.
Group B has become a three horse race for the 2 playoff spots, with Gaeta FC, The Ginger Beards and the shagging lizards all winning. Gaeta won their "bye" in a goal fest: 6-3. shagging beat darkness12 5-1, and The Ginger Beards continued their perfect start beating Sugar Kick 6-1.
