Well done to all the first round winners and commiserations to our losing sides - who now all progress into the LLGS Plate competition.
There were some fascinating and very close ties this weekend and there will be some disappointed teams who find themselves in the Plate having had excellent scoring weeks because their opponents somehow scored even more. Edinburgh City and FC Minibinnie are two such sides, who would have beaten most teams left in the main cup competition...hard luck folks!

Last Line coaching conveyor belt rolls on...
Last Line has a tradition of developing young goalkeeping talent - encouraging budding young shot stoppers, no matter their age or stage, to become as good a keeper as they can. However, the playing side of matters is not the only stage we are keen to help our promising proteges flourish on...
Brian, Andy and Stuart are all classic examples of talented Last Line goalkeepers who have made the decision to develop their own talents in more than one direction by making the move into coaching as well as playing. From as early a stage as is technically and legally possible, all three of these LLGS keepers turned coaches have undertaken their official SFA "badges" in goalkeeping and have become invaluable assets to the goalkeeping school. They are all Last Line Graduates who are now giving something back to their successors...and the school itself is all the better for this.

However, it has come to our attention this week that yet another talented Last Liner is making their way into the coaching world. Chris Binnie, who has now been with Last Line longer than any other current keeper, has been working for the SFA all week helping them with delivering their ever popular Ocotber Half Term courses.
Local SFA Development Officer, David Sheldon, was delighted to welcome Chris on board for the occasion and Chris himself reports that he has very much enjoyed himself taking daily goalkeeping sessions for young keepers. Chris will be taking his SFA coaching certificates this season also and we look forward to seeing more of Chris the Coach, as well as Chris the Goalie, at Last Line in the coming years...

Good news for Last Line Goalkeeping School this October, as the SERYFA announce their Under 16 and Under 15 squads for the coming season. Last season Chris Binnie represented the Region as the first choice goalkeeper in the U15 Regional Squad and this season he is being succeeded by fellow Last Liner, Connor Lunn. Chris himself has been reselected for the Regional Squad at U16 level and is through to the final trial for the SYFA Under 16 National Squad, having been part of last season's U15 SYFA National Squad.
Last Line would like to congratulate both boys on their continued success and recognition at Regional level and wish them both every good wishes for the coming season. We will have our collective goalkeeping gloved fingers crossed for our talented keepers when the National Squads are announced next month.
Well done!
Hat trick of Football Manager appearances for Last Liner?
A little bird tells Last Line that one of our coaches/graduate keepers has made it into this seasons latest version of Football Manager.
Bringing his appearances in this well known computer game to three seasons in a row, East Fife stopper Andy Stobie will be asking Santa for the new edition for Christmas.
Well done Andy - to quote one of our Junior keepers last season :
"You know you're a famous goalie when you are on Football Manager!"
Fantasy Football Cup competition reminder
Last Line Goalkeeping School would like to remind all of our keepers and parents about this week's upcoming Fantasy Football Cup. The draw was made a couple of weeks ago and can be found elsewhere on this blog. Head to head competitions between individual teams will be undertaken using the points total each side amasses over next weekend's Premiership card.
In each tie, the side who gains the most points next weekend will progress to the second round of the cup.
For further information about how your team is doing, how to make transfers and how each player gains points, please go the Official Barclay's Premier League website and log in using your own unique username and password.
Currently, John Binnie still heads the top of the Last Line League and Andrew Stobie is not far behind in third place - so come on keepers (and parents) let's knock the coaches off the summit!

The Manager of the Month September 2009...
Hard on the heels of last month's Last Line coaches' success, when John won the inaugural Last Line Goalkeeping School Fantasy Football Manager of the Month, we are pleased to announce that the winner for September 2009 is none other than Andrew Stobie. Yes, that's another Last Line coach (though we might want to count him as a keeper...sort of...seeing as he is a graduate of Last Line and pictured here in his day job as shot stopper for East Fife FC).
Andy snatched the award on the final evening of the month, courtesy of a Monday night game between Manchester City and West Ham. Up until that point we thought we were going to have our first parent winner, with Jill Binnie looking a good bet for the award. It was not to be and we send our congratulations to Andy.
If any of the keepers fancy breaking this coaching monopoly of the Fantasy Football League then they are going to have to up their game. The most likely candidate at the moment would appear to be Michael Binnie (what is it they put in the porridge in the Binnie Household?)
