Balotelli's Catherine Wheels would like to formally extend their congratulations to this year's trophy winners, Alex and Ray Kohn.

To finish runners up in both competitions is disappointing, but we are going to have to try harder at this year's oction if we are to overcome such formidable opponents.

Ray's experience and Alex's boldness in signing 2 excellent strikers proved too much for us this season.

Congratulations again to Ray and Alex.

Come on lads don't let yourselves down you can do this, the hard work has been done just a couple of strikes from Aguero or robin will surely secure title number 4 and give me back a trophy I've not held for far too long.

The manager of Long Pants wishes to thank all the team's supporters for their loyalty in what has been a difficult season. The initial rush of points, with players gaining inspiration from their winning manager of the previous two years,hit a terrible points drought that many found inexplicable. Before the truth came out, Sir Harry Hatchet-Job attempted to place the blame on Ray - sacking him and appointing the equally charismatic Pat to be in charge. However, this did not prevent Sir Harry's fraudulent embezzlement of funds being discovered. The awful truth of Ray only having £42 million at the oction - thus preventing him from purchasing his preferred striker from the previous year (Van Persie) - led to Sir Harry bring arrested, stripped of his knighthood and being sent to Wormwood Scrubs. Pat gallantly relinquished her role of manager after performing stirling work in keeping the team's spirits up and handed the team back to Ray in December. Since then, the focus on the Cup ha paid dividends although Ray warns all fellow managers that next year (with a full 50K) he will be looking to regaining the FFL title that has been won by Alex's outstanding team (with Van Persie).

The early season disciplinary action by Sir Harry Hatchet-Job has proved decisive in rescuing the the season for Long Pants.

Removing the over-cautious Ray as manager and replacing him with long-time assistant Pat, has made the difference for Long Pants, who now find themselves in fourth place in the league and, after this weekend's cup final, holders of the eminent piece of silverware that is the FFL Cup.

Ballotelli's Catherine Wheels (Allan) were unable to stem the flow of the resurgent Long Pants who took the match by 9 points (Yaya Toure 6, Distan 3) to 6 (Howard 3, Evra 3).

So Congratulations to Pat and her demoted assistant Ray for another piece of silverware in a great run of success in these past three seasons.

Incidentally, for those wishing to include Tuesdays Liverpool v Chelsea match in the game - this would have resulted in both teams gaining an extra 2 points each (and thus no impact upon the result).
Here's to next year.

All the best

The FFL Cup Committee
