Lost, Then Wandering
Grilled Birds ended their latest Trophy of Legends run on 10 points with a 3-1-4 record, after splitting their final two games. It was a close contest against German fifth divisioners FC Tüdel, but they still won 4-3, with Mark Grundeis closing it out. Finnish VI.735 participants Downtown Wanderers provided a perfect sendoff at least, with
Enrique Baena and
Egemen Dinçer Ferzan combining for three, in a dynamic seven-nil slaughter. That made it a 4233rd placing, from 6582 teams.
It was the same for the Buns too, who did a bit better with four wins and four losses, to finish 884th of 1864 clubs in the Heroes of 2014 Trophy. Italian seventh divisioners atletico castello exploited some hesitant left-sided defending and
Lau Keng Kwang's bad pace to run out 2-0 winners, before
Vitaliy Efendiev won the day versus German VII.301 side VfB Ottertorf, thanks to a driven free-kick that got through the wall.
Grilled International slunk to 2-1-5 and 3330th from 4078 sides after a terrible final day, that saw them fall first to Swiss VI.71 side Oberland Tigers, and then Finnish H.I. V.170 representatives S-Palloseura. It was simply a massacre against Oberland, who mauled International 7-0 as their defence entirely collapsed. S-Palloseura were not that dominant, but still prevailed 3-2 with
Chua Jun Long's brilliant late speculative poach, not enough to spark a revival.
