Round 4 of this year’s Last Man Standing Competition seen just 3 fallers from the competition with West Ham and Southampton being the teams who failed to grab 3 points over the weekend just past. Patrick Higgins was sure Southampton would get a result against West Brom, but that win failed to materialise.

Chris Taylor and Paul Lyons both fancied their chances backing West Ham at home to Crystal Palace. However neither could have predicted the 3-1 demolition the Hammers were to recieve and both bow out.

Going into the Fifth Round of the competition, there are only 9 participants. Six of which had confidently backed Manchester United to get a win at home to Sunderland, and they weren’t let down. Also into the next round is Kevin Taylor who was able to predict West Brom’s 3-1 win over West ham.

Joining Kevin in the Fifth Round is Martin McLoughlin and Philip Wilson who had gambled on Stoke to steal the victory against Hull. Round 5 sees some midweek fixtures with this coming weekend being FA Cup duties for some teams.

Apologies for the slight delay in posting round three results.

Week 3 of Newry City AFC’s Last Man Standing has thrown another shock to the remaining participants with Chelsea, Spurs and Everton all failing to win. Reigning Last Man Standing champion John Prentice has bowed out of this years competition, and he won’t be happy that it was the team he follows who let him down.

Moving on to round 4, we have just 12 people remaining in the competition and anything can happen from here on in, based on some of the results we have seen over the last few weeks. Of the 12 remaining, 50% have chosen Manchester United this week who take on Sunderland at Old Trafford. Stoke, West Ham, Southampton and West Brom making up the other selections.

Lauren Redpath is flying the flag for the female supporters of the club and is hoping for a Man United win to progress to the fifth round. While Patrick Higgins will be hoping that Southampton are able to get the three points against West Brom, whereas Chris Taylor will be hoping West Brom come out on top.

With only 12 people remaining, things are starting to get very interesting with a lot of top sides already ruled out for most people. Good luck to the remaining participants.

Below are people the remaining twelve people’s selections for round 4.

So after the second round of fixtures we have whittled the competition down to just 35 people. With Man City failing to win at home against Hull City, the Merseyside derby ending in a scoreless draw and Arsenal losing out to North London rivals Tottenham, we had quite a lot of fallers.

Still in the game we have current Last Man Standing champion John Prentice who squeezed through after Southampton scored a last minute winner away to QPR. Also still in is Liam Murphy who is yet to use any of the big guns, having progressed so far with Sunderland and Crystal Palace.

There is still all to play for with some tough fixtures coming up this weekend also.

The NCAFC Travel club bus to Broomhill this Saturday (21st Feb) will leave Stonebridge at 1pm. All welcome.

Newry City AFC last man standing competition for 2015 is finally underway and we began on Saturday past with 127 entrants. Reigning Last Man Standing champion John Prentice is eager to defend his title this time around and is safely through to this week’s second round having seen his pick Manchester United defeat Leicester City.

The first casualty of the competition was Jonny Lennon who took a risk on Hull to beat Newcastle. However Newcastle ran out easy winners in Saturdays early kick off.

Of the 127 entrants, 25 have already ploughed out of the competition with the biggest exodus backing Southampton to win. However the 18 participants who had chosen The Saints were let down and face an early exit.

With 25 people bowing out already after week 1, we are down to 102 people remaining. With some big teams chosen for weeks 1 and 2, and how unpredictable results have been in recent weeks, almost anything could happen from here.
