The Lady Luck Cup


With roots stretching back to the old Moggy server this is a competition originally created by Gaz _Wirral Warriors (a guy I remember who SHOUTED HIS PM’S AT YOU as his keyboard was always set on Caps Lock.)

A competition attracting teams of all levels and standards for an initial 32 teams split randomly into four groups of eight. The eight teams in each group battle it out in a mini league with the top two from each and the two best runners-up making up a ‘champions’ league of ten, which then contest to find the eventual champion.
It ran over many seasons and soon developed a prestige about it, as managers battled it out to get the coveted cup in their trophy cabinet.

The competition has now been re-introduced on Smokey by Mick _ Fat Kids on a Diet and has recently ran and completed it’s first season with fr3nchy _ Byron Park FC becoming the first holder.


Smokey Lady Luck Season 1

The first Lady Luck Cup on Smokey attracted some high calibre teams, which created some fierce competition in the group stages as they all fought to gain a place in the champions league.

An unusual occurrence happened in that 4 teams from group B made it to the next stage as the group had the two best runners-up. (that’s lady luck for you!) I very much doubt that will happen again.

The first champion was not decided until the very last day when the top two played each other in a winner takes all. Group C runners-up Byron Park went on to win and therefore crowned winners of the 1st Lady Luck Cup.
