THE TURKISH CUP - GROUP `B` STANDINGS

Greetings Kankas and Kankies.

Some very interesting results in Group `B` yesterday !

First up, well done Gencler !

Kirikkale 0 Genclerbirligi 4

This puts Gencler firmly in the driving seat in Group `B` and only a screw-up against Adana Demir of the 2nd League next week can prevent Gencler qualifying for the KO stage.

Yesterday, the goals came from Mehmet Cakir, Kahe and Erhan in the 1st half and Promising Isaac near the end of the match.

However, the shock of the day was.......

Adana Demir 1 Trabzon 0

A fantastic result for Adana Demir against The Black Sea Storm who had their full team out, including Ceyhun, Gokdeniz, Umut and Huseyin.

The standings in Group `B` are -

Gencler P2 W2 D0 L0 F7 A0 Pts 6
Adana D P2 W2 D0 L0 F4 A1 Pts 6
Trabzon P3 W1 D0 L2 F5 A4 Pts 3
Manisa P2 W1 D0 L1 F3 A3 Pts 3
Kirikkale P3 W0 D0 L3 F1 A12 Pts 0

Gencler will be at home against Adana Demir next week (details not known yet), and in the meantime, I'm sure Bulent Bey will be studying a recording of the Adana Demir v Trabzon match !

3 points from that one will be enough to make the journey to Trabzon the following week an academic exercise.

PS...... Hey, have you noticed that Gencler are starting to play a bit now that they have got rid of that Aussie geezer ??!! Moral of the story....... Aussies should stick to playing Aussie Rules and The Funny Shaped Ball games !!!!

All the best from Eski Kanka Jim
