OFLM division 1 Round-up
Top two managers face-off, whilst Muppets go Bowling.
The standout tie of Week 1 in the top division sees last season’s top two rated managers look each other down the barrel in a match so ridiculous it could have come from the same writers who paired Travolta and Cage together. Ethan John may have been free scoring in Division 2, but the top league and the top team in it are a whole other level. Even with Milan tired from the Super Cup he will not be fancying his chances at the Sin Saro, and it will be no accident that his side have been linked with several defenders.
Elsewhere it’s the battle of the second places as last season’s Cavalry have changed their name to Anfield Ducks, but they’ll be hoping not to be too quackers at their pond; with a home tie against cup runner’s-up FC Palace. Without the on-loan Dixon Palace may struggle, but have improved alot since last season’s 8-1 thrashing in the equivalent fixture. Real Muppets fans have a dream trip to one of the big four on day 1, as they visit the Scrut Bowl in the unenviable task of trying to take points from Pablo McIntyre’s title seeking side in a repeat of what could have been last season’s OFLM Cup final had FC Palace not spoilt the party (although Muppets get the chance to reverse that injustice in Week 2). The Incredibles will want to start strongly against an aging Stockport Borough, with the prospect of Anfield Ducks in Week 2 looming. The same goes for Perfect City, who play an intriguing tie away to last season’s Division 2 Champions the Dublin Dominators, but have Olympic Milan looming on the horizon in Week 2. With City going for the win, Mark McConell very well may try and nick something and get his side’s first top division points since Season 3.
Newly renamed FC West Leigh will hope a new form comes with a new name and avoid last season’s horror start at home to Peter Lambern’s Wombats, whilst Lorne Rangers attempt to do the same away at the ever-improving big spenders Hitman Alexandra. Perfect Allstars host Racing Maitland in a game this pundit predicts will be full of goals despite last season’s 1-0 Allstar win.

OFLM division 2 Round-up
VSK hope to start with a Grin, but Breffni may get the Blues.
A new season and a new start for VSK sees them attempt to end their appalling record at home to the Division 3 Champions in the tie of the week. Keith Bradley may have steadied the ship over the winter break, but will have to be on his toes against big scoring Gringos, as although two divisions separated the sides last season, Gringos are actually better on paper. Division 2 may be just as hard a lesson for VSK, and they may want to be careful they don’t suffer straight relegations as their opponents did two seasons before them.
League favourites are Damien Murray’s newly named Breffni Blues, who have a good balance to their squad and coped with relegation vultures admirably, but away at Dulka Pumpherston is a tricky task. Dulka started last season a lot stronger than the games engine would have you believe, and will want to get early points on the board to avoid another scrap at the bottom. PSV Rangers, second favourites for the title, open up against Stratton Monarchs in a game that is a repeat of last year’s playoff semi-final and Stratton will have to be in regal form to avoid a similar outcome. Loud mouth of the league Andrew Docherty leads his predictably named Perfect Team back into Division 2 to hopefully justify their title in a tricky tie to perennial also-rans Goalpost, whilst other promoted side Villa Stripes visit the bizarrely named Dublin TNT Dynamite in the weeks’ only all-new-name fixture.
Elsewhere Stewart Stanfield’s youngsters play host to the ‘only team in Leicester’ Lightning, a tie which could go either way considering both suffered indifferent form last year. Stanfield’s big local rival Kincardine Loyal will play out a low scoring tie with Sloths Celtic, set the videos. Finally Cogan Clowns go to Seven Sisters to see if they can start their promotion hunt in North East London, but the team with the longest stay in Division 2 will not make it easy for them to get back to winning ways.

OFLM division 3 Round-up
Hebden host scornful Skinner, Auckland look to put Mostly to Harm.
Hebden Bridge Aliens are back where they belong, in the banter and competition of Division 3, where Burke’s side can compete again. Many agree he worked miracles keeping them up for so long, but last season the bubble well and truly burst and Adi will find a familiar face welcoming him back to Division 3 in the opposite dugout. Rumours have abounded that Lewes’ legendary manager Skinner may depart OFLM in over Christmas due to a poor run of form, but Colin has vowed to have one last crack at promotion. Will he be the focus of the cameras on Thursday? Or could Trevor Battersby take the limelight in the first game of his swansong season?
Auckland Utd walked through the playoff semi-final, but came well and truly unstuck against Villa Stripes in the final. They’ll hope that the gulf in class won’t be as much on show as they meet promotion favourites Mostly Harmless, who were only relegated on the last day of Season 8. Midfield could be the key battle in a contest this pundit expects Mostly to edge. Poetic promotion possibilities The Dark Lords have finally recovered from the injury epidemic which blighted the side towards the end of last season, and ultimately cost them promotion...*cough*. Green will be hoping his loan signings settle in quickly at home to Ali V United. Newly named Division 4 playoff winners Furry Chequebooks welcome squad builder and unsung hero Ray Wallace as big boss Ceri Griffiths manages in Division 3 for the first time, next week Griffiths relives Division 4 at home to newly renamed Liberty City, and the club’s fans will be hoping new manager Si Williams can carry on the work of Paul Dunne in their first game against Steve McQueen’s Toto FC, who only just missed out on the playoffs last season.
In other games FC Vikings are hoping to banish playoff semi final defeat at home to the newly named and promoted Cornish All Blacks, whilst Christchurch TEC start in EXACTLY the same way as Season 8 with a home fixture against Fair City Swifts, and will hope for the same result. Finally the Radford Love Rockets are looking to shoot down AC Coolios swift return to Division 2, and Sam Brown will hope his New Year additions will be enough to paper over the cracks in his threadbare defence.

OFLM division 4 Round-up
Hawker have test at Valladolid, Baracus pity the Gods.
Two of the title favourites come up against one another in Holland, as Harry Klienjan looks for an immediate return to Division 3 having been so unlucky last season. He will have a real test in facing Valladolid, who topped the league in the early weeks of last year before slipping away and just out of the playoffs. Gwimlyn John has publicly stated that the club will not be allowing such disappointments again, and the match looks perfectly poised.
Karl Watts’ WBA Baracus may well be a wrecking machine this season, and will look at the woeful Gods of Vengeance as the ideal start to a promotion campaign. Gods, who finished bottom of the entire league for the second time in their five year history last season, look ill equipped for the task and could suffer a repeat of last season’s 18-0 mauling. Ity Bity City’s new manager Derek Purvis will have to adapt quickly back to Division 4 as his team visit the intimidating named Badland Troopers, whilst other demoted side Ice Athletic hope they don’t melt as easily as they did last season when they kick off against Sporting Aldershot. A standout battle will be Deportivo Azrael against Derby Rams, with experienced Neil Lovell attempting to use tactics to bring down the biggest side in the division. Derby have a long way to go before they return to the elite of Division 1 where they once resided.
Elsewhere, Aero Galaxy are looking to build on last season’s playoff place finish away at predictable underachievers FC Kincardine. The Galaxy will have to hope they’re not too lightweight for what will be a physical battle at Galaxians Town. The other whipping boys of last season, Global Trotters, head to Athletico Old Boys – formerly Loughton Spurs – and Barton Rovers face David Hanna’s Barton Rovers, only a few weeks after Barton thrashed them 5-0 in the same fixture.
