MW9 - AL - FOOTBALL
🚨 1 game remaining 🚨
The penultimate week.
In true Christmas spirit adam&eveDDB gifted advantage to Wieden + Kennedy last week 🎁
But it wasn’t over.
With 2 games left to play the top 2 were due to meet this week for one big showdown. Winner takes all. Kind of.
This fixture promised to have it all. The one we’d all been waiting for. We teetered with calling this the most anticlimatic title race ever last week. This week, it's official. This is the most disappointing title fight in the history of Secta 🙁
Sadly adam&eveDDB were unable to field a team for their must-win fixture with Wieden + Kennedy. You wouldn’t have seen this under Halliday's watch, let me tell you, Wilkie.
But credit where credit's due. Congratulations to Wieden + Kennedy for retaining the title and once again, being crowned Champions of London’s Advertising League 🏆
More to come on this exquisite side at the end of the season.
Division 1 has let us down this week so let’s get to the real fun.
Division 2
In a storytellers dream Anomaly have risen from dire straits to the top of the league. This week, they faced a Droga5 side who may be forgiven for having one eye on next week's semi-final cup clash 👁
The game started at an intense pace, with both teams showcasing technical ability worthy of Division 1. Droga sadly lost a player to injury and without any substitutes, the referee had to step in. Other than being beaten by a tame near-post strike, he did himself proud out there. Nothing on Anderson mind you 🧤
Anomaly had fresh legs and utilised these substitutes well, allowing them to dominate the fixture. It’s amazing what a few wins can do for players’ availability, or vice versa eh Laing 🙋♂️
Anomaly got into a rhythm playing from back to front and peppered their opponent's goal. Whilst Droga gave it their all, at times they lacked real quality in front of goal 😬
This victory secures promotion for Anomaly but can they win the title?
Anomaly 14 - 4 Droga5
Now we take a look into second place, Havas London, who are without a win in the previous 4. They got off to a flying start against We Are Social, controlling the game and going into the break with an 11-2 lead
We're not sure if was another Mackay half-time special but after some acute tactical changes, We Are Social came out of the blocks the stronger side. With a succession of goals We Are Social were back in the tie, however, this proved to be too little too late as Havas London withheld pressure well and secured the victory.
Although mathematically possible, this victory make it difficult for Havas London to be caught.
But you know what, we've seen it done.
Havas 14 - 9 We Are Social
All eyes are on the final game of the season clash between Havas London and Anomaly 👀
