R3 -9 R4 -13 Good start to the season for Villa, which is probably just as well before they sell Grealish and we end up rubbish again.

To say the Azzurri caught their stride in the second half would be a gross understatement. Smoothing out the wrinkles and early season jitters of the first half, the boys in blue resumed their relentless attacking form and found the net in the latter stages of the 3rd 22 as a scrum in front of the Bristol goal mouth found the ball just needing a toe from Lucchese.
((R3: 64))
It was blood in the water from there, as the Italian side decimated the Bristol defense. A third goal confirms the win and puts Cassino Calcio in a familiar vantage point at the top of the table.
(Three eagles on the back 9!)
((R4: 59))

Unfortunately due to illness they'll be no write up. It's just taken me 3hrs to crawl out of bed and get my 2 rounds done!
Rd3: -6 Rd4: -4
Should play Ill more often. Concentration levels max not trying to throw up.
Paddy bamfords injury also looks worse as catching alioksi biting his knees thinking he was a medic!!! Bloody mad man!
Right off to hug more porcelain!!

Pixel Golf Football S3 - Championship division, week 1: Hyvinkään Palloseura @ Tranmere Rovers, second half
We're back for the second half with the score being 0-2, and the Finnish lads are showing a bit of fight as they should! And then not at all, and then a weirdly great strike out of nowhere (eagle on the 7th to close range)! Then back to looking at their own feet, then a few shots again... this sort of unfocused football won't get the job done but it's putting pressure to the home side to perform. Won't probably nick a goal at any point but let's see how it still goes. (Round 3: -5)
A bit of a dead effort towards the end of the game with very few things going right as planned, but another weirdly great shot to make up for a little bit (eagle on the 10th off a beautiful drive and ~32 foot putt). Lack of focus right at the end but for their first real game, the lads have done themselves proud today. Might end up losing, but this kind of effort has not been seen in a few weeks! Off to next week, VAR still needs to check the final score. (Round 4: -3)

Well, at least I ran the Championi Azzurri close for the first three quarters of the game. Scored the opening goal and couldn't quite hang on. This is the Premier League boys, this is the standard you need to reach! Well played cassinochips, good luck for the rest of the season. Glad I don't have to play you again!

Maybe once more in about 9 weeks if things go well for both of us!

Week One
The Premier Division saw three draws and only the resurgent Aston Villa and reigning champions Cassino winning. Villa thumped Dudelenge and Jesse found a way to get the job done against new boys Bristol City. Celtic succumbed to a late fightback by Ajax in Amsterdam. Orlando and Man Utd could not be separated in an end to end game and it was a similar story at Anfield where Liverpool shared the points with Juventus.
The Championship are waiting on a couple of results. Burton lead by the odd goal against Coventry and Tranmere are looking to close things out against Hyvinkään Palloseura. In the matches that have been resolved, new boys Carlisle saw off an out of sorts Canterbury side in the Land of the Long White Cloud whilst East Fife squeezed past Barcelona. Leeds found their trip to Herne Bay a little frustrating as they shared the points with the Kent part-timers.
Week Two
The highlights include a re-match of last seasons Champions Playoff as F91 Dudelenge host Cassino and it should be a cracker when Liverpool and Aston Villa meet. I take East Fife to my real love Leeds United, with everything level, whilst Coventry host Carlisle.
The action takes place at The Riverlands, a great looking composite, fantasy Irish course. I have played double figures of practice rounds this week and can barely get to par. Water in play on 17 holes, a massive tree blocking the approach to the tenth, many fairways the width of Kylie Minogue and a few borderline illegal pins for round 1. The environment is a nightmare if your tempo isn't spot on.
FOR THIS WEEK ONLY
I am probably not prepared collect demo marks for playing this. As a result for this week I am giving ALL Challenge Circuit players the chance to 'do a Tranmere' and commence play after the Wednesday cut. I will require you to submit a screenshot of your final summary as your scores will not be on the TGCT leaderboards if you choose to follow this path. This is a extraordinary set of circumstances brought about by the courses being selected and tested before the changes to gameplay. Previous weeks I have been able to figure out a way to get around in respectable scores but this one has beaten me.

honeybadger64The Sky Blues have not picked up a ball in anger since last Sunday but intrigued I set off round the Riverlands a couple of times. Nudging a couple under to par despite horrendous tempo which I am at a loss how to deal with. That kind of performance usually equates to about 5 shots worse under competitive conditions. While your offer is greatly appreciated I fear I will not be able to take advantage of it due to commitments elsewhere. The last match I saw against Carlisle involved a 7 hour trip from Devon via Coventry up to the land of my parents, Leon Clarke missing a sitter, sub zero temperatures and a coach full of drunks with nothing better to do on a Sunday. The highlight was being able to charge my phone at Carlisle Rugby Club by virtue of unplugging the fruit machine. Hooligan. If Carlsberg made football trips they wouldn't have made that one.

Tranmere 2nd half Rovers after their best half of football in 2 seasons were looking to consolidate and hold on to their lead. Both teams came out and were both on the offensive with attack after attack after attack from all teams... It felt like it was a game of attackers vs defenders in alternating halves of the pitch. First 20 mins and after the Finish striker struck the bar with am absolute beauty, Tranmere manage to sneak in another goal with a deflection which sent the keeper the wrong way. This meant that Tranmere only had to hold on for the final 20 mins and play the counter attack to hold on and take their 1st win of the season and the young loaner took his chance to complete his hat-trick to finish the Finnish. Final score Tranmere 4 - 0 Hyvinkään Palloseura Scores R3 - 68 / -4 (Adj 62) R4 - 68 / -4 (Adj 62)

VAR struck again and Burton Albion knew they had to find a way to get that disallowed goal back. After a spirited talk at halftime, the Brewers came out and did just that (R3: -8) to take the 2-0 advantage. Coventry was able to get one back as the Brewers defense let them down in the final minutes (R4: -6) but Burton was able to hold on for the three points.
Good match Sky Blues!

Dear PGF Commissioner honeybadger64, Greetings from the football capital of Deepest Darkest, Soweto. Home of THE Orlando Pirates, a most storied franchise to ever kick the ball rather than touch it with our hands. This letter is an inquiry into your most recently completed week one of your third season of your competition that Orlando has so generously agreed to grace with its presence. It seems that the Buccaneers are currently in a log jam of six teams tied for third in the Premiership after a hard fought draw with some team of united men named Chester (who knew you could field a team of Chesters!). It is early in the proceedings but with all things being equal we at Orlando are wondering why the Pirates are currently sitting in the PO slot with the Chesters. Surely with all things being relevant the Pirates should be ranked higher that a household cleanser? We are one of the PGF founding fathers, why do you have the rooks from Italy above us? Don't get us started on the others (I have nothing clever to say about them), THE Orlando Pirates deserve a much higher seeding RIGHT NOW (when it doesn't mean much)! We look forward to seeing you take to corrective measures needed to right this wrong and are fully confident that you will not slight our cornerstone club again. Must go ready ourselves for our next match (are they Scottish or Irish? The name confuses us). Sawubona THE Orlando Pirates

The Old School Tie system of patronage has not worked well in the UK recently and I am loathe to bring it in here. Mind you, Qatar did win the right to host the Football World Cup so there is a precedent for this sort of request.
