On the Founding of the Parishes

Matchday Recap: S02D42
Wellington shut out a favored Guadalajara side and Ushuaia stole a road win from Havana's favorites in a back-and-forth third period, the two real upsets of an otherwise chalky Matchday 42. Winnipeg and Busan delivered the day's most lopsided results, 8-1 and 6-0.

The Exchange now lists all forty-eight clubs, twenty-four of which opened for trading this morning. Five matchdays remain, one playoff berth is being contested by roughly half the league, and at The Pyramid Basin, Cairo and McMurdo combined for eighteen goals.
