WELCOME BACK! Did you miss us? No? Good. Because it's with no little amount of reluctance that the Round Up returns kicking, screaming, toys-out-of-the-pram-throwing its way back into cyberspace.
So let's cut to the chase shall we. What's new? Well a few things. Firstly, Renaissance has a new sponsor after parting ways with Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou and is currently making hay with none other than David Robert Jones, better known as David Bowie, and even more better known as Jareth the Goblin King from Labyrinth, SW9.
And why does Renaissance have a new sponsor? Because after much deliberation, consultation, procrastination, trepidation, humiliation, and hesitation a new season of Top Corner's Football In A Cage finally began in earnest last month... and aren't Renaissance doing well. Four games down, four victories chalked up. The Just One More Try (JOMT) campaign is looking sweeter than a sleeping baby lying in a bowl of sugar wrapped up in sin. Here are the results:
Renaissance 7-1 Warne
Renaissance 2-1 Vanity
Renaissance 4-3 FremantleMedia
Renaissance 1-0 Ted Baker
And on Wednesday they face Venezuela... Cue Nosferatu musical score!

Artist's impression of the D.I.
Introducing... the Decibel Inspector
There's only so much we can reveal about the D.I. because there'll be a baseball bat introduced to our skull if we give too much away.
Suffice to say, the D.I. probably lives in Chalk Farm, probably owns a decibel-recording machine, probably wields significant influence at Camden Council, probably doesn't like groups of men making noise whilst playing football, probably doesn't like groups of men, and at precisely 9:01pm leaves home to hang out in the numerous boisterous bars, punk-filled pubs and ear-popping eateries in the vicinity of Haverstock.
The D.I. has been hired by agreement of Top Corner Limited (limited in more ways than you can imagine), Haverstock School, and Camden Council to ensure that football matches at the school take place in near silencio. Not that anyone seems to pay attention. What was that? NOT THAT ANYONE SEEMS TO PAY ATTENTION!
And finally a word from our new sponsor
JOMT magic, JOMT (JOMT magic, JOMT)
JOMT magic, JOMT (JOMT magic, JOMT)
Put that magic JOMT on me
Slap that baby, make him free
PS: The Minus Column is still a notorious booze hound.
