Now now Cat, there's no place for sour grapes at the end of such a well run competition, Naan is magnanimous in victory.

Garlic Bread v Focaccia
Chiabatta v Croissant
Tea Cake v Naan
Stottie v White Sliced
Bread Buns v French Stick
Crumpet v White Crusty
Pitta v Oven Muffins
Grissini v Granary Loaf

The Quarter Finals saw new favourites Garlic Bread tumble out in another titanic struggle, while White Sliced (obviously still feeling the effects of their 2nd Round game) capitulated badly to the eventual Champs......

Garlic Bread v Croissant
Naan v White Sliced
French Stick v Crusty White
Pitta v Granary Loaf

The Semis saw two fairly straightforward ties, where the favourites eased through.

Croissant v French Stick
Naan v Granary

Which left us with an great game for third, taken by croissant.

Croissant v Granary

And we can all be thankful that the final lived up to all expectations, after a flying start, they were pegged back by half time, only to dominant the second half, leaving the final score:

Naan 12 French Stick 8

[Yankee Mackem]

Gold!

Right that's it, I'm off to slink home dejectedly out of this thread with the other Crusty White supporters to dream of future victories.

BUT WE WILL RISE AGAIN!

But before we go we're going to do over the Fans of the Granary and smash the town center up.
