Right folks time for some cup scores. Lots to get through and in true BBC fashion I'll try and get through them sharpish.

First the 2 three way ties.

Welshbairn V Eckthearab v Bigbo10
Bigbo10 struggled. Bit in the first half while welshie and Eck whilst taking a lead couldn't be separated. Second half again tight with welshie and Eck again tied score wise but Bigbo10 struck late on to even it up. All three players going into a tie break with totals of 9/14.

Tynieness v Peasy23 V Ross
A very even first half with all teams scoring well though despite strong 5's from tynie and Ross, peasy managed to sneak a half time lead. Ross fell away in the second half and peasy and tynie battled it out but again despite a strong 5 from tynie, peasy got the last point to take the tie.


DeeJ V The_Kincardine
Cracking match up here with solid scoring throughout. DeeJ nicking ahead at half time. Kincy cam out strong second half and despite a more than respectable 5 from DeeJ, Kincy stole it with a perfect 7.


Pleslie V Eednud
Pleslie with a solid performance but was always going to find it hard against the experience of Eednud. Solid enough scoring from Pleslie with a 4+5 over the 2 halves but excellent scoring from Eednud who took it with 6's in both halves

Deeman V Cowden0
Another close tie. Nothing to separate the sides in the first half, all square at the break. Second continued in the same vain though just when it looked like going to a tie break Cowden0 nipped in with a beautiful diving header at the back post to seal his place in the last 16.

Scotfree V LiviLion
Absolutely nothing in this tie also, all square at half time and all square at the end. Tie break beckons.

Bullyweevilla V AlanG
Another match with 2 well matched sides. AlanG with the upper hand at the half. BWV came out strong in the second but despite winning the second half he still managed to lose by a point.

Arabdownunder V Whiterosekillie
The Arab held on to be behind by the single point at half time. But as per usual WRK put his foot down second half and struck with a perfect 7 to ease through.

Supermik v Dieharddoonhamer
A match with very few points but plenty of tension. A 3-3 draw at half time. Second half continued close but Diehard managed to nick it at the end by a single point.

Audaces Fortuna Juvat V LeedsSaint
Another match with very little in it. LeedsSaint taking it by a point in the first half. Close again second half but LeedsSaint doing enough to get through.

SlipperyP V FrankieS
First half the teams were split by a single point with the advantage going to Frankie. Slippery breathing out his ass second half and Frankie extended his lead to make the last 16.

WillieA v Jacksgranda
As close as you could hope first half with a 5-5 score. Jacksgranda fought bravely but couldn't hang in there losing it by 2 points in the end.

In the 2 3-way ties only the winner will progress so they could be especially interesting. As per usual all scores to be PM'd to myself no later than 9am Monday morning. Any scores not received by this time will automatically grant a walkover for the opposing player. For the new players among us, please give separate scores for both quizzes please. For example, 4 for the first quiz, 5 for the second. Or even easier would be 4+5 [emoji23]
All the very best to all participants!!

A gut busting first half, both sides going at it hammer and tongs. Solid scoring though GK edged ahead at the half. Cardy was on a mission second half and took control amassing a 4 point lead by the end of the second half.
Cardinal Richelieu (4+5) 9 v 6 (5+1) gkneil
