Update 2: Stoneish Counties Cup and Stoneish Premier League Standings
This weekend, the 57th Annual Stoneish Counties Cup began across the Island. The Stoneish Counties Cup is a tournement between the 20 All County squads that represent each county, city or Island across this 1500 square mile stretch of land and sea. In the leadup to the tournament the bottom 4 in last years tournament and the 4 who didn't qualify play round robin against each other and the 4 teams with the most points advance as the bottom 4 seeds in the tournament, the 4 who did not qualify this year were: Palmstead, Brookburg, Portburg and Farmingwich Counties. The Whole competition is home/away except, if needed, Finals game 3 which, if needed, takes place at The Inset, Stone River Stadium, or City Stadium, whichever is not used in Finals game 1 or 2. Priority is in that order. Previous season Top 4 cannot face each other in First or second round matches.
This season, 9 stadiums are being used, The Stadiums are:
1. The Inset, Capital Harbor, Clarkbay
2. Grand Horizon Stadium, Waterfront District, Newich
3. Victoria Channel, Riverfront, Berryford
4. Arnon County High School, Arnon District, Arnon County
5. Victoria Overlook, The Northeast Edge, Eaglegrove
6. Kentscroft High School Stadium, East Tip, Kentscroft
7: St. Vincents High School Stadium, St.Vincents, Pacific Cove
8: Stoneish River Stadium, Downtown District, Stone City
* City Stadium is also used for Harbor City Matches but was excluded from the official list.
So as it goes, The First Round Scores:
| Sep 3 | Eaglegrove | 1-0 | Pacific Territory | Victoria Overlook |
| Sep 3 | Arnon [P] | 1-1 | Clarkbay | AHS Field |
| Sep 4 | Harbor City | 2-1 | Channel Territory | City Stadium |
| Sep 4 | Berryford [P] | 0-0 | Waterford | Victoria Channel |
| Sep 4 | Kentscroft | 0-1 | Central Territory | KHS Field |

| Sep 5 | Pacific Cove | 3-0 | Waterdale | SVHS Field |
| Sep 5 | Stone City | 4-1 | Clarkswillow | Stoneish River Stadium |
The fact that Clarkbay is now out of the cup in the First round is major. Clarkbay has historically been a poor county squad but has in the past 10 years recieved 4 silvers, 3 bronzes, 4th in 2003 and 2006 and losing in the second round in 2005, however that was to Stone City, who is trying for their seventh straight Cup win.
The 4 Round 2 matches will be:
| DATE | HOME TEAM | AWAY TEAM | TIME (GMT -9) |
| Sep 10 | Berryford | Central Territory | 5:00 PM |
| Sep 10 | Stone City | Pacific Cove | 8:00 PM |
| Sep 12 | Harbor City | Newich | 2:30 PM |
| Sep 12 | Arnon County | Eaglegrove | 6:00 PM |
*No matches will be held on September 11 as a salute to those who lost their lives in the Terror Attacks on 9/11/2001 in the neighboring United States.
