Lake Twat wasn't one of the answers.

The Occasional Cup with the longwinded name First Round Second Leg results are now all in and my cunning plan to replays has worked with no draws, thanks to away goals still counting in quiz land. Many thanks to all. 

@JustOneCornetto   6 + 7 (13j v @Spring Onion   4 + 5 (9) v @Tynierose    7 + 7 (14). Last minute victory for @Tynierose

@Moomintroll   4  + 6 (10)  v @NJ2   4 + 5 (9) v @Geaky   5 +4 (9). A close call but @Moomintroll managed to turn things round.

@Snobot   5 + 3 (8) v @mathematics   4 + 4 (8) v @SlipperyP  4 + 3 (7). Almost to close to call but @mathematics wins on away goals.

@Blootoon87   3  + 5 (8j v @The DA   7 + 7 (14)  v @BigBo10  4 + 3 (7). @The DA too strong for the lower league opponents.

@Arabdownunder   6 + 8 (14) v @Arch Stanton   5 + 6 (11) v @Bully Wee Villa  7 + 5 (12). Giant killer @Arabdownunder goes through.

@Leeds Saint   6 + 7 (13)  v @pleslie99   2 + 3 (5) v @kingjoey  7 + 4 (11)  @Leeds Saint through to Round 2 by 2

@Eednud   6 + 5 (11)  v @peasy23   3 + 7 (10) v @Cardinal Richelieu  6 + 4 (10) Very close but onward I go

@LincolnHearts   7  +5 (12) v  @Salvo Montalbano   5  + 6 (11) v @The Hologram  7 + 3 (10) . @LincolnHearts squeezes through.

@JamesP_81   2 + 4 (6) v @gkneil  6 + 7 (13). No trouble for @gkneil

@Helpma   4 + 5 (9) v @The_Kincardine  7 + 6 (13). Highest Wycombe’s  @The_Kincardine wanderers into the next round.

@The Captain   4 + 6 (10) v @101  5 + 7 (12). @101 had the numbers for second round.

@Ronaldo Jeremy   4 + 4 (8)   v @Silky Si McFly  0 + 0 (0). Too easy for @Ronaldo Jeremy

@German Jag   4 + 5 (9)  v @WhiteRoseKillie  7 + 8 (15) No surprise that @WhiteRoseKillie is in the next round.

@ArmadaleKillie   3 + 7 (10) v @Rugster  6 + 5 (11) .  @Rugster just managed to hang on.

@alang1993   4 + 10 (14) v @Jacksgranda  7 + 4 (11). A big shock in the making scuppered by @alang1993 full house in Leg 2.

@Ross.   4 + 7 (11) v @Culter Away  6 + 6 (12). Another close one but @Culter Away is away through to the next round.

Draw and questions for the Second Round will follow today or tomorrow.
