Official Match Thread Season 41 First Elimination Final: Gumbies FFC vs Roys FFC at The House of Gumby

[Falconista]

THE HEAD TO HEAD HISTORY:
OVERALL 65 matches: Gumbies 32, Roys 33.
IN FINALS 5 matches: Gumbies 1, Roys 4.
LAST TIME THEY MET (round 7): Roys FFC 13.11 (89) defeated by Gumbies FFC 22.11 (143)

Two teams, a modern rivalry and two very different paths to finals. The Gumbies started the season rather impressively and topped the table after round nine with a dominant offence and league-leading defence. The defence remained but the forward structure fell away as the Gumbies stumbled into Qeptember. The Roys meanwhile found form at the right time of the season, spending just the three rounds of the season in the eight, the last three rounds of the season no less. The Roys rise was built on the back of a high-scoring style of play with evergreen Mooch becoming the fourth person to 1000 Sweet FA goals. Whose season ends on Sunday?

GUMBIES FFC, SEASON 41 TO DATE:
Rounds in top-8: 16/16

You all get the pleasure of seeing my last puzzle. Taking a break because I have no more puzzles to do and need a break as I’ve done like 10 in the past 6 months
