FA Cup semi-final Results

Chris continues his treble quest after a late comeback win against Trusted sent him into the FA Cup Final and Clive will get the chance to defend the trophy

The Cow-Faced Juniors 3 v 2 Trusted By Millions
The Dead Parrots 1 v 6 Claymore Athletic

The CFJs made the early running in the game and Luis Suarez opened the scoring on 21 minutes when beating David De Gea at his near post. Chris's team were on top in the first half with Gareth Bale going close on several occasions. Trusted resisted the CFJ offensive and got a foothold in the second-half. As the CFJs grew nervous trying to protect their lead Beef's team earned a penalty with eight minutes left and Steven Gerrard converted with ease. The momentum was all with Beef now and Papiss Cisse struck in injury time to give his side the lead after being left unmarked in the CFJs penalty box. Trusted had no time to celebrate as they immediately conceded a penalty but Grant Holt failed from 12 yards. It seemed like Chris's Cup dreams were over but clean sheets from Michael Turner and new signing Paul Scharner turned the game in the CFJs favour and leave Beef empty-handed in the Trophy department for another season.

Following a postponement after Dean's team got food poisoning from some gone off shrimps on the barbie or something, Clive cruised into a third straight Final equalling the records of Aardvark Abacus and Boston Rock.

Clive's team were ahead as early as the sixth minute, a deft flick from Morgan Schneiderlin too good for the Parrots defence. Wayne Rooney added a deflected shot on 21 minutes  and Leon Osman's long-range swerver 11 minutes later had Clive thinking about his Cup Final suit but Dean's team immediately hit back with a Rickie Lambert free-kick that took a big change of direction off of the wall. Claymore shut up shop in the second half and as time wore on the effects of last week's dodgy shrimps took hold and Claymore picked up three clean sheets to put a gloss on the final score.
