Premier League Finals Week 2 Sorry this is going up late guys, been a big old long week, so cheers for all your patience. Match 1 - #1 Quebec Caribou under @FreeKickLiam vs #5 Stuttgart Storm under @Jono Steven The Caribou have been undefeated all year while the Storm pulled off a very close victory last week. Can the European competition dark horse take down the dominant new world power house side. Match 2 - #2 Lagos Royals under @Peter W vs #3 Darmstadt Dynamos under @WillH_VI The Dynamos were convincing last week, showing the Vultures what it takes to play finals football. They certainly gave the home side in Lagos notice. The Royals have been proving they have what it takes all year though and they have shown no signs of slowing in the past few weeks. Good luck to all contenders, and well played to all the folks like me enjoying the last few games from the side line. It has been a good year, and I am sure we are all looking forward to next year (especially if my mids find a bit more form). Thanks Athos
Please note that play-ins for the 2026 Intercomp continue for round 11 for all teams in the bottom 4 and can @FreoDockers @Chloe @Corza and @hoschke118 please all post their teams in the this round thread as well, cheers
