Sounds neat.

Sounds like a cool idea. I will of course be rooting for the Barrow-Downs, but I'm also a fan of Numenor. And Sleepy, how soon will this start?

Today's Results
Opening Match-
Barrow-Downs 1 - 0 Woodhall
A close fought contest with Barrow-Downs edging it thanks to a 52nd minute goal scored of a rebound by Saucepan Man. A low high powered shot by Sleepy Ranger was deflected onto Saucepan by Woodhall's keeper who effectively finished the job. Woodhall nearly levelled the match in the 70th minute but a motivated save by The Barrow-Wight kept Barrow-Downs ahead. The highlight of the match was the free-kick by Phantom which went straight out of the stadium.
---

Gondor 1-0 Angband
This match was quite an upset. Angband were strong favorites but an early 10th minute goal by Faramir set the tone for the rest of the match. A unified Gondorian defense held of numerous attempts to equalize by the forces of Angband. Towards the end several Angaband players resorted to dangerous tackles but this turned against them when their captain, Melkor, was sent off on a red card.
---

Lothlorien 0-1 Crickhollow
It was an even contest but Lorien always looked the stronger team. Just when it looked like Haldir was about to score a Hobbit snatched the ball and sent a long pass to Fatty who ran down the flank to knock in the winner. Lorien wasted several chances in corners and scored a late goal only to be given an off-side.
---

Goblin-Town 0-1 Tol-In-Gauroth
This match was rather strange. Goblin-Town had over 70% posession but never managed to shoot straight at goal, instead opting to shoot all around it. Sauron finally got fed up with them and stole the ball from a defender and shot it in to get the win.
---

Dale 0-0 Belegost
This match was a hard fought contest with no team able to gain an advantage. The only moment of real danger was when Bard shot the ball into his own box but the keeper was on it right away.
---

Nargothrond 1-1 Ephel Barandir
Two evenly matched, highly aggressive teams in this match. Surprisingly no cards were shown and a 35th minute by Turin but Nargothrond ahead but Ephel Barandir managed to score an equalizer just before half-time to keep the pressure on. In the second half apparently nobody felt like scoring and were content roughing up the other team.
---

Shire 3-3 Arnor
This match was a goal-fest. Arnor shot in two goals in the first 15 minutes. And at half time looked set for a 2-0 win but a come back led by Pippin saw Shire take the match 3-2 in their favor. A 90th minute equalizer in the form of a penalty saw Arnor save the game.

Man this is a good idea you are so smart. I have to start a thread some day. Go barrow downs.

Hookbill the Goomba · 11-13-2005, 08:50 AM

Hurrah! The Downs won a game! I think this deserves a group Huzzah!

HUZZAH!

Still, I hope the Shire does well.
