The teams placed first and second (shaded in green) qualified to the Round of 16. The team placed third in each group qualified for The Saucer Of...2007/2008. The team placed last in each group let their friends down, let their family down, but most of all let themselves down.

Group A
Top seed and 06/07 Cup Finalist Tyke was knocked out at the first stage of the inaugural Mug Of... by perennial underachievers Jonny Harper and Alex Clarke. Gethin Jones was appalling.

Group B
Easy progress for the J-Dogg who was joined in Round 2 by Andy Thornton. Newcomer Rhys Osborne secured a Saucer Of... spot leaving Jamie Graham to prop up the table.

Group C
After a disappointing 06/07, Elliot Cole was keen to make amends - in the Mug he threatened to do just that, winning through to the next round with ease. Sue Perkins impersinator Paul Evans snatching second place from Phil Green and whipping boys Grange Ender Heroes.

Group D
In an all Porthcawl schooled group there was a shock exit from the Mug for top seed Christian Bold. Taking his predicted place in the next round were League Of... administrator Dan Chubb and Rob Owen (famous for being the son of Richard Owen)

Group E
After an opening stalemate between J-B and T-Hat, John Bull went on to win the group with Mike Booth's Reducers winning a tight final match against Tom Hatley 51-49 to take second spot. Hatley had to make do with a Saucer spot with the freefalling Patel left rock bottom.

Group F
Al Straight newly appointed as manager of AFCNoRainOnThursday failed to improve on the performances of the incumbent Phil Green and finished behind Phil Jones and The Ribbler who progressed through.

Group G
Simple for Andpud but a mammoth struggle for second place - Steven Doherty pipping Liam by a 1pt margin (probably down to bonus points or something). Sally was pretty close as well.

Group H
Ward and Chubb secured qualification after two games but their dead rubber was anything but friendly. Ward's Gobblers came out all-guns-blazing to inflict a first ever defeat on the double winner. Owen Davies fought off the challenge of newboys Canola Wanderers to take 3rd.

The Saucer Of...
