Grant and Dave bring down the curtain on an extraordinary NOSFL season for 2025/26.

They start by clearing up the outstanding games left to be played. Bridge of Don Thistle and Buchanhaven Hearts returned to play that penalty shootout for the McLeman Cup where Thistle turned it around to win a second trophy of the season. The lads discuss their views on the shootout and look more widely at why both teams should look at this season as a whole positively in amongst surreal and extraordinary circumstances. We also hear from Bridge of Don Thistle manager Jamie Watt about the extraordinary events.

Dyce won the Dominos North Regional Cup on Friday night with a 2-0 win over Colony Park, ensuring a first trophy in around a decade and a first major success for interim manager Cameron Buchan. Cammy and goalkeeper Morgan Cook spoke to Grant post match about the game and the guys discuss where this final leaves both teams at heading into next campaign.

Saturday saw an extraordinary climax to the season with Deveronside winning the Jack and Brenda Whitehead Memorial Trophy and become 'Club 16' in the Premier League next season. They came from 2-1 down to defeat Newmachar United 3-2 at Balmoral Stadium and afterwards Dave caught up with Colin Legge, Joel Wiseman and Ryan Catto. We discuss what it means for the Banffshire team returning to the top flight for the first time since 2021/22 and examine where Newmachar United go from here following such a tough late defeat.

The leagues and cups may be over but a summer of football is about to kick off with Champion Street 2026 just around the corner. Grant caught up with organiser Dani Kindness to chat about the upcoming event in July.

The last part of the show sees Dave and Grant review the season as a whole and think about their own personal and league highlights. They also go onto discuss their awards of the season, both for the league as a whole and their alternative podcast awards too. They finally finish up by picking their own teams (and in Grant's case squads!) of the season.

This podcast also is dedicated to Meatloaf, Wimbledon's rain covers, The Rollercoaster of Love by Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Glayva whisky liqueur and a whole bunch of thank yous!
