Murton sells his team name, but remains triumphant, despite conceding a penalty.<\/h3>\n

As Fusion were out, the way was clear for Shakthar Sunderland to clean sweep the August Tournament, which was originally scheduled in April -until everyone started to sneeze and supermarket security staff managed to get some authority in shouting at people to stand apart or telling ugly people to wear a mask.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, a spanner in the works. Billy Harrison contacted the organisers with the comments: “It’s Carpet Centres Elite – none of this Shakthar shite.” So, Murton was quietly shuffled aside complaining about “going for the money”. Billy Harrison’s wasn’t as authoritarian as Murton, as two of his players were wearing odd shorts and socks. A standard 25p fine was administered, as well as abuse on Twitter.<\/p>\n

Sporting Redhouse and Sassco were standard entrants.<\/p>\n

Then Washington Deaf team, who were the fourth entrant decided they couldn’t get a team together on the day of the tournament. In stepped Grangetown FC, who like Denmark in 92, came close to a clean sweep. Their opener against Carpets saw them taking a 2-1 lead before succumbing to the pace and power (and moaning) of Carpets in a 5-2 defeat.<\/p>\n
