Units manager on scouting mission to New Zealand!!

Before I head off, some last minute business to attend to:
Congratulations to the Green Loraxes for their magnificent triumph against league leaders Mighty Power on Sunday, adding to the clubs impressive list of scalps. Happy birthday too!
To the management of More Fire!: Thanks for the tiramisu- the container is still located in the Units official kitchen.
In official nuclear cup business, Darkness12 had not accepted The Units' challenge for this weeks match by 12.15pm today, so management decided to hastily arrange a friendly with another team so as not to lose training etc. The Units leave all decisions relating to the match score etc to the learned nuclear cup council, and the Units will abide with any decision- the dude abides!
Happy new year to all, and good luck with upcoming fixtures.

Units wary of Oliveri

The sight of a fit Giancarlo Oliveri has sent shivers down the spine of the Units camp. Especially with veteran Units midfielder Laurent Rougier injured for 3 weeks. Rougier, 29, was in great form before he suffered a groin injury (pictured) one week ago.
Will the Units have to draft in a first team player for the big clash on Wednesday?

Oliveri called up for top-of-the-table clash with the Units

The young Lorax superstar, Giancarlo Oliveri, 19, was seen training at the Mornington Peninsula this week in anticipation of the Pool 2 top-of-the-table clash with The Units on Wednesday.  Whilst the Lorax line-up is yet to be confirmed, it is strongly rumored selectors will pick the superstar forward for his first Nuclear Cup appearance in order to bolster the forward line which is expected to undergo its toughest challenge against an anticipated formidable (or passable) Units defense.

HE'S BACK!!!

He’s back!!! After god knows how many weeks of being injured- the mighty Captain (Nasili Solomon) of Mababies is back!!! Hopefully we will see more victories in the upcoming league matches…but I think we will still get the wooden spoon in the Nuclear Cup:(

New Coach for the Units

After selling out their newly upgraded stadium today, the Units had enough cash to hire a new coach- 43 year old Englishman Clifford Scullion.
Scullion is a solid trainer and noted ladies' man.

Nuclear Cup first round completed!

The Nuclear Cup first was completed today with two exciting matches. Interestingly all home teams won their matches this week. The first round results were as follows:

BRAP2 2 More Fire! 1
Bluthenthal da 3 7 Gaeta 0
darkness12 6 Mababies 2
Green Loraxes 5 The Units 4

Feel free to post comments regarding your teams performance etc., and any other comments.

Great start to the Nuclear Cup!

New Player for Bluthenthal!!!!!!

A new player is now dressing the white and red bluthenthal uniform!
The little

Heinz-Hubert Uhlik-Kliemstein

is landed today in the Federico Fellini airport of Rimini ready to take its position in the Bluthenthal's midfield. The most expensive player so far bought by Bluthenthal said to the reporters: "Whatta hell!?!...I thought I was landing in Munchen for the Oktoberfest!"

Victrory comes at a cost....

After having the honour to be the first to win in the 1st Nuclear Cup, I had to fire a veteran of my team Mou Wing chun who was last seen at a shopping mall with his family. His glory days are clearly over. He got a four week injury that would render him unplayable for the rest of the season and his skills were rapidly depleting. I will always remember him as my wispy beard winger that gave so much depth to my squad.

The Nuclear Cup commences with spectacular win by BRAP2

The wait is over. The Nuclear Cup has begun. And boy, what a way to start!

Two titans of the game, BRAP2 and More Fire! faced off in an extraordinary match in front of a massive 256 fans. Dominated by BRAP2 in the first half, who took an early 2-0 lead, More Fire! showed a lot of guts to bring the score back to 2-1, providing a nail-biting finish, in which BRAP2 dug deep to hold off the More Fire! onslaught and take out the first victory in Nuclear Cup history. If this is a sign of what's to come in the Nuclear Cup, then we are all in for a thrill!

In other news, due to scheduling problems, it has been decided that the Nuclear Cup first round will be spread over two weeks. This allows Bluthenthal da 3 and Gaeta to face-off instead of forfeiting the first round and The Units, who were very unlucky in their Cup match yesterday, to face the Green Loraxes in the first round. Therefore 3 Nuclear Cup matches will take place next week.

Nuclear Cup commences next week!

The excitement regarding the Nuclear Cup has hit unprecedented levels (see poll) as it is now less than one week till kick-off of Round 1. To ensure everything goes smoothly, it is therefore timely for the Nuclear Cup council to remind participants that it is the responsibility of the HOME team to challenge their opponent to a "Home" game with "Normal" rules. We will be using "Cup Rules" during the finals. If the away team hasn't received a challenge by their opponent by the Monday of the match that week, then let them know, and you can challenge them to a match "Away" if necessary, otherwise contact the Nuclear Cup council, and appropriate action will be taken.

Good luck everyone,

Nuclear Cup Council
