Over the last few weeks BoTN has been running its first Sensible Soccer Tournament. 13 members have battled it out to try and become the first ever winner of the SWOS Cup.
Teams were drawn at random and members were divided into 2 groups with the top 4 in each qualifying for the knockout stage. With all members going into the unknown, nobody had a clue of who was favorite and who to fear the most.
With the group stages drawn to a close FuzzyMinge and Darth Carp both topped their respective groups but not to be ruled out was the unbeaten Maradona86 with Arsenal and the impressive thxaj23 with Man United.
As we moved in the knockout phase FuzzyMinge beat Dazzerrazzer's Newcastle United, whilst the ever improving Emotional Worm condemned thxaj23 to his first defeat of the tournament. In the other half of the draw Darth Carp asserted his authority by beating Happyowl's Real Madrid 8-1 over 2 legs whilst unbeaten Maradona86 made light work of whitey9 scousers Bayern Munich.
Tension now grew as semi finals got under way with Emotional Worm who by now was beginning to show his worth battered FuzzyMinge 6-2 to claim a place in the final. The other semi final was a rematch of group 2 toppers Maradona86 and Darth Carp. Darth, fearing the worse before hand after being beaten 5-1 and 4-1 in the groups, put up a brave fight but by now the shear class of Maradona86 was showing. Maradona winning 7-3.
And so BoTN first SWOS final took place with Maradona86 with Arsenal and Emotional Worm with AC Milan. Both on fine form and looking to win the first SWOS cup.
Neither player disappointed, both winning a leg each in the final. Emotional Worm took the first 5-4 with Maradona taking the second leg 4-3. So it was decided by a tense play-off in which Maradona86 ran out comfortably with a 3-0.
Congratulations go to Maradona86 for his fantastic win and congratulations to all who took part and made it very enjoyable and a huge success.
Heres to the next one!

Awesome write up minge :-)
Really enjoyed this tourny, and glad SWOS came around when it did as have gone off PES a little with the latest version.
Big shout to worm for making it an amazing final. He was winning in the 2nd leg and i only just pulled it back in the 88th minute to take it to a 3rd leg.
