As I predicted at the beginning of the season, this comp will be considerably closer than last season. Lakes and Valo are still the two favourites however a number of teams will be capable of upsetting them on their day. Already after three rounds neither Lakes nor Valo have won away from home!

I saw the Westy v Lakes game and I was very impressed with the Westy players commitment. There have a good side that will win more than their share of games this season. Their keeper had an outstanding game on Sunday to keep them in the contest. I would agree Lakes were unlucky not to get the 3 points - the Westy defender that took out Sam Walker as he was about to shoot from 10 yards out should have been red carded without a doubt. Still Lakes should have done better with the penalty shot.

I agree with JCBT that Lakes were the better side, had the more chances and should have won the game easily - but that's football! Congrats to Westy on sticking to their guns and showing that they will be hard to beat at Wembley!
