as Bombardier Hotshots prepare to take on the BCC Legal Eagles in last four clash
The Boucher Bankers stormed into the PG Cup final 2009 after a cosy win over the 2007 winners, the DVLNI punters, who look a spent force after managing just the one winner with 1-3 on shots Man Utd.
The bankers bagged two winners to ease through with and will be hard to beat in the final which takes place next week.
The Boucher punters will be keeping an eye on this weekend’s other semi-final where Bombardier Hotshots take on the BCC Legal Eagles.
Short-Certs used to be a half decent betting outfit and where hard to beat until the PG Cup started and they fell away but Joe ‘Vegas Boy’ Campbell re-invented them as the BOMBARDIER HOTSHOTS.
The captain got rid of the stragglers that kept the team back and his reward is a semi-final showdown this weekend.

A nervous Joe told the PG “we scraped through with an 8/15 winner in the last round so we need to up our game if we are to make it to the final and we hope that we have come up with a system that will get us there”.
They take on the betting duo that is the BCC LEGAL EAGLES who are led by Harry Hill lookalike Joe McAuley. (His words not mine.)
They looked a team to follow after they eased by the hard-to-beat Dairy Farm All-Stars in October and then saw off the Citybus Duo in the quarter-finals.
Joe has teamed up with his best mate, who is known only as Mr X, who wishes to remain anonymous due to his wife not agreeing with his favourite pastime.
Joe and his betting buddy are in fine form as well at the minute and are confident of making the final four.
Joe told the PG: “we hit the crossbar at the weekend with two football bets.
“Fulham beat us in the first one by drawing with Bolton Wanderers and Tranmere drew with Aldershot, killing off the second bet so we are in form going into the semis and feel confident of victory”.
BOMBARDIER HOTSHOTS: Chelsea 10/11,
Nottingham Forest 6/5, Crystal Palace 5/6,
Newcastle 8/13.
BCC LEGAL EAGLES: Chelsea 10/11, Portsmouth 10/11, Rochdale 4/7, Dundee Utd 4/7

SORE LOSER WENGER
MARK HUGHES clashed with Arsene Wenger as Manchester City reached their first Cup semi-final since 1981.
City boss Hughes slammed Arsenal's chief for refusing to shake his hand at the final whistle.
Goals from Carlos Tevez, Shaun Wright-Phillips and Vladimir Weiss sank Wenger's Carling Cup kids and clinched a two-leg clash with old enemies Manchester United.
Hughes said: "I was disappointed, as I've huge respect for him. Maybe he needs to be a little bit more gracious.
"I think it is unnecessary. We all hurt when we get beaten. You don't need to do that.
"Nobody is more upset when we lose than me but I still shake someone's hand.
"At one point he questioned why I was on his side of the technical area. Maybe he was aggrieved with that.
"I would say he was aggrieved his team was beaten. I have been to the Emirates and lost 6-2 but I still offered my hand.
"There is a protocol and, maybe on this occasion, Arsene has not worked with that."

Shameful Wenger
Arsenal did not cover themselves in glory as they slipped tamely out of the Carling Cup at Manchester City - a defeat compounded by the post-match attitude of manager Arsene Wenger.
Wenger has had better weeks after watching both his team and football philosophy take heavy punishment as Chelsea brutally exposed his senior players at the Emirates and his youngsters were brushed aside at an atmospheric Eastlands on Wednesday.
But there was no excuse for his churlish refusal to shake hands with opposite number Mark Hughes at the conclusion of a quarter-final deservedly won by City, or his later public belittling of the tournament.
Wenger has lavished many gifts on the game since his arrival at Arsenal, but grace in defeat has not been one of them. This was the latest example of a darker side to his football personality.
