The plucky heroes of E&Y took on league heavyweight Deloitte in the cup final.

The nailbiting match ended 3-3 after extra time, before E&Y held its nerve to win the penalty shoot out.

E&Y's team has risen through the lower  leagues to be snapping at the heels of Division leaders 1 Deloitte, which should inspire any minnows wanting to follow in their footsteps.

Those that say the Big Four has got a stranglehold on the accountancy profession will be heartened to learn that the upper echelons of this particular league is a bit more open to new blood.

Deloittte Tristars top the table followed by E&Y International. Grant Thornton has bulldozed its way into third place (Coach Cleary will  be happy) while PwC Wanderers are in fourth.

Perhaps the PwC team could call on the firm's contacts and find a foreign billionaire to sponsor them...
