Ipswich - FPL Southern Conference Champions
- Pitch invasion and all !!
Sheffield take the North, literally by Storm
Ipswich
Wolves clinched the FPL Serie A Southen conference with a
stylish 2-1 comeback over Kickers. Much to the delight of the
travelling support, Ipswich proved themselves worthy winners.
The match was a cracker from start to finish. Set aside
the fact that Kickers needed a big won to overturn Ipswich's 3
point lead and superior goal difference, sheer pride of
honours was very much at stake. It was Wolves night, but
Kickers deserve credit too for an enthralling game and finish
to the season.
---------- Fiesta Time for Wolves ------ Some fans are on the pitch... They
think its all over...... IT IS NOW !!!!
In the north, it was Sheffield who came through
as victors, clinching the conference title on the last game of the season
with a superb win over early leaders Birmingham.
Middlesbrough, leaders before KO, could only look on and hope
that Birmingham could do them the favour of at least a draw
with Sheffield. But it was Sheffield's day, and they now look
to the play-off with Ipswich.

Having drawn
2-2 in the group stages, the stage was all set for the perfect
show-down final when Ipswich took on Nautara. The visitors
prevailed to lift the cup, but it was neck and neck all the
way. Ipswich beat Baltic in penalties in the semis, having
come back from a 2-0 deficit. The former pro experience of
some of the Ipswich boys helped them stay close to a very well
organised Nautara, whose movement and cohesion at times showed
the clear difference you'd expect from a team that competes at
a higher level. No shame at all for Ipswich, Baltic and
Birmingham, who all had a run at some stage against the pros.
Nautara and Ipswich qualified from Group A. Baltic and
Birmingham from Group B. Kickers beat Helvecia comfortably to
take 5tyh place spot. Nautara beat Birmingham in the other
semi-final to tee up what was a cracking final.
